Community lots in Oasis Springs?

FurSimsOfficialFurSimsOfficial Posts: 2,362 Member
I am redoing all my worlds and the community lot area of Oasis Springs has left me blank. Other then some sort of public pool/aqua park, what else fit's right into this world in that district?

I know I can just put houses there, but I specifically want this area for community lots.
I changed the world a bit and filled it with Spanish/Moroccan houses, old churches/squares, holiday homes (for future property owning perhaps?) and also with a tint of Greek/Turkish Mediterranean houses. I must say that I also have a trailer park/abandoned house section in there.

So what would be your ideas of community lots in this world? Or what have you put in your Oasis Springs?

I already have a spa and resort btw.

    The Mediterranean makes me think of sitting outside a cafe/restaurant in the evening sunshine watching the world go by, so maybe a Mediterranean style cafe/restaurant with some outside seating areas, with some fresh vegetables growing? A cosy bar or a bakery. And maybe a museum if you already have churches. Most of the European cities I've been to have beautiful churches and museums filled with really old paintings - so maybe a museum and/or Arts Centre?
    The Mediterranean is all about history, socialising with friends and family, and fresh food, from my experience :)

    Love the idea of the fresh foods and I definitly need to put in one restaurant there, so just 2 places to go for now.
    Maybe a historical area with a bookstore and coffee bar build in it. Will put that on my list!

    Hi @FurSimsOfficial

    I tend to use OS quite a lot because it seems to rain less in my game so i can usually count on my sims arriving with their kids for a day at the park without it raining-)

    I know you said you maybe already use a pool/park I am just going to show you the one I use because it had a toddler area, childrens, area, pet area and still has room for the pool and nightclub and cafe facilities should you wish to hire the staff..

    I am always looking for community lots for OS too which can be quite difficult to find plus I like my lots to have multi uses so my sims can stay longer completing various activities and as long as the row where the lounge is all match I can overlook that some lots may not look like they are exactly out of the desert-)

    I look forward to seeing what others players have done with their community lots in OS as well and only ask if posting pics of lots please post details of the creator and where we can download them :)

    On my old saves I had a (unfinished) Airport in the big lot cause I felt like it fit the sandy desert theme :D Might revisit the idea with an airstrip and hangars though. Also had a Motel, Diner, Petrol Station/small shop and Grocery dotted around which I'm planning to rebuild :D Definitely needs a bar and ""Juice"" Shop too.

    Oh an airport! Good idea! I downloaded one but its waaay to big. Coudnt find a smaller one and I have to much on my to-do list to build so wont be able to build it myself.

    @SPARKY1922 I did not think about a bowling alley as that kinds fits as well. I still have one in my gallery from someone, but also too big. Will have to search for smaller lots I guess.

    A friend of mine lives in a desert community, and they have a lot of antique shops there. Why? Because older people retire there since it’s cheaper. They bring all their older stuff with them that they’ve had in their house for years. And...well...then they die. The stuff in their house gets sold off. And voila! Lots of antiques businesses with lots of supplies always coming in.

    LOVE it! I was planning a vintage/second hand shop in New crest where I have an area for local shops and businesses, but maybe I will move it to Oasis Springs or open a second one. Thanks!
