Hospital, Police station (why didn’t we get them with Get to work?), School, High School, Bowling Alley, Movie Theater, Amusement park, Arcade, Ice skating/roller skating Arena, Ice cream parlor, Mall, Doctor Practice......
The whole system could use a lot more streamlining. Why not combine lounge, bar and nightclub and give us a series of lot traits that govern the age group(s) it attracts?
this would really fix about 80% of my problems
2. Rental vacation house
I'd like to have this for any lot I want
who is to say windenburg is not good vacation venue?
3. Buildable Apartments/Group housing
I just want to build some row houses and stuff
and I'd like them to work properly and not have stupid restrictions
4. Hospitals, science labs, police stations etc as actual venues
why does it have to be hidden lot type of thing?
why can't I have my scientist at sulani?
why can't I have small hospital in windenburg?
why can't I have san myshuno city police?
5. Home business
it's so annoying to have to build separate venue for everything really
6. Cinema
like um idk it kinda should be there when there is 2 packs about movies and such
🏡 Gallery 📖 Stories 🌍 World Project 🥔 MOD/CC Free
That's why the Sit Down, Please! mod is so popular.
EA should do away with lot requirements as they did in TS3, code the game to allow the Sims to make use of all objects/activities present on a lot, and add a ticket booth or something. This way, players can create their own functional venues, with or without entrance fees, as determined by us, not EA. We should be able to create whatever we want and to have it work. It was possible fifteen years ago. With the 'most advanced Sims game yet', it should be possible now.
Yes, I want to be able to have a restaurant lounge so I can have a functional restaurant and be able to have the star accolades there at the same time.
Cemeteries
Double Lot types
with a VIP sections lot trait (currently cant have VIP restaurant because the Get famous doors will keep regular Sims out, but they will still try to sit down, get mad and the review goes down; regular Sims should still be able to bribe or sneak in)
Doctors
With ob/gyn
Precincts with lawyer office attach ( the office can be empty if you don't have University and if you do have it then sims will populate and work in there)
Cinemas
( like why....isn't this a thing...)
Firehouse
Laundromat
Grocery store
Car dealership
With smart cars
Malls
Daycare
Hotels and the ability to lend one of your homes to people visiting to earn extra cash
Elderly home where its like apartments and they get their own room and there is a receptionist/ caretaker at a front desk ( like at the scientist career) and checks up on residents like Sulani neighbors do.
A default Lifestyle Brand Lot that sells tshirts and celebrity apparel so regular Sims can truly be a fan
The option for Sims to also own a shop and turn it into a lifestyle brand shop of themselves once they get the perk, then they'll be able to sell online and in store
Petshop
with the addition of more pets
Amusement park lot
*Hideout lot trait (for criminals)
*Ability to own multiple homes
* Double Lot zoning where you can highlight rooms or areas that you want the VIP part to be or if it is a double lot type say the downstairs you want to specify as the lounge and the upstairs as the restaurant part or vise versa.
& so much more
I’ve been wanting a Grocery Store lot for ages!!
Also hotels, rentals, car dealership (if/when we get cars), garages (If/when we get cars....
Any of these would be great additions to the game.
I'd love a move to a selection of mix and match lot traits that have much more influence on lot function and sim behaviour. Maybe a system where we get to choose a primary lot trait, then 2-3 secondary traits. The primary trait defines the lot's classification and the majority of sim activity there, while the secondary activities attract less sims. For example a lot where the primary trait is library, but the secondary traits are museum and cafe - allowing you to build small functional museum and cafe areas.
Also, we should choose which NPCs show up to each lot. There's no need to have it completely controlled by lot type. Just give us a list of NPCs and check boxes. If I want a pianist at the park, why not?
Finally, live in businesses. Some of my sims already live at their restaraunt/shop. Just lock some doors to non-family and it works great. For now they 'officially' live in empty home lots they never visit just to keep them in world and playable. It works so well already, they might as well make it an actual option to live at a business.
Themeparks/Waterpark
Cinemas
Drive inn movie
Aquarium Exibit
Zoos
Circus
Resorts
Hotels
Car Dealership when we get cars. Sims could buy a car and it could go in their inventory.
Cemetaries Sadly this probably won't happen cause they'd have to change the game engine to how the game would handle deaths of sims your not playing.
We can make car dealerships now with the debug cars. But with playable cars it would be even better. I would love a cemetary and an easy way to move there the urns of unplayable sims that die on community lots. Right now they are stuck there as decorations as I haven't figured yet how to move them elsewhere.
1. Grocery store - ability to buy groceries, own the store, or work there would be fun and add more realism to the game
2. Doctor's office - OB/GYN for pregnant mothers (ultrasounds, baby's gender, ect..) or teens/young adults (menstral cycle, birth control, pregnancy help for twins or triplets)
3. Cemetery - When your sim dies you can visit, have funerals, bury the dead, have ghost haunt certain graves
4. Movie theater/opera/broadway - have sims sit at the start of the film/play, ability to buy popcorn and sodas and other snacks
5. Daycare - perhaps we don't even have to have the lot, but the ability to send toddlers somewhere else during the day where they can develop skill and get out of the parents hair for a bit
6. Hair salon - this could be an addition to the spa, somewhere a stylist can give the sims a new fresh look that can be permanent or temporary, new hair doos, nails maybe, makeup, teens could get facial to help with acne or redness
7. Laundromat - we could add this to apartment buildings as a place for current residents to do their laundry or a lot where sims starting out can do their laundry if they choose.
8. Petshop - buy/adopt pets, ability for kids to take a pet on just a walk (like a shelter), buy special toys or foods
9. Repair shop for cars- When we get cars, we could add garages and various vehicles. The vehicles could breakdown or need monthly upkeep where we can take the car into the shop and have it tuned
10. Farm - various farm life (chickens, cows, pigs, and sheep), we already have the gardening aspect that could easily be added plus we have beehives, we could sell the eggs, milk, and wool from the animals or sell the animals themselves for food to be added to inventory/fridge; this could be a profession and home/lifestyle
You were able to have a restaurant and a clothing store in one for example and it was fully functional.
The lot adapted to the objects that were there.
My dream is to have well functioning malls in Sims 4, but well.. We can't have everything
