Isla Paradiso and venues from other packs...

So. What venues have you guys parked into your Isla Paradiso? I really love this world but I find it lacking in entertainment and advantages from other packs that I have (Ambitions, Supernatural, Late Night, World Adventures, Pets and of course Island Paradise. I am thinking of getting the weather expansion next) so I want to do something about it. I've slowly been adding stuff in, for instance, I put the fortune teller caravan on one of the more isolated beaches and the vault of antiquity got its own tiny spot/lot behind the bookstore.
I really haven't seen any dogs or cats roaming around, and no horses, but I have seen premade households having pets to adopt. Granted my Sims live on a houseboat but still. I did add a pet store (converted the Island Beauty residential lot), mostly because my Sim found both a rat and a turtle and needed cages (yes, I know I can get them from buy/build but I like my Sims being able to buy from a store).
I also found a really wonderful lot off MTS that combines consignment store and elixir consignment store into one building and it works. I get both tellers for both stores in one building/lot. Saves me a whole venue. And I want to add more.
For instance, right now, I am converting Rebecca's Café into a local watering hole (with addition of a small laundromat area) and I think that Paradise Pub on the mainland would be great as either a hangout (a normal one) or a fusion lounge. I really can't decide which. I am also thinking of adding a supernatural hangout somewhere because one of my Sims got bitten and will have her first full moon in a Sim day or so. Wasn't planned, btw. But she met a werewolf and...well. Too bad he's married. Besides, the population has a good collection of both fairies and werewolves and I have seen at least 2 merfolk so I find that a hangout where they can meet and feel safe is warranted. I just can't decide where to put it.
But what venues do you guys are most important in Isla Paradiso (and really in any world you guys play). What is most essential? Both from packs that I own and don't own? For me are pups, lounges, hangouts of all kind along with the consignment stores. I just find it so hard to fit everything into one world although some worlds are easier than others.

As Ip is one of my favorite worlds I fill it to the brim with entertainment venues for my sims..
I remove the 64x64 inland resort lot and add my roller-coaster lot with almost everything in it you can think of
there is a massive underground area you can do anything you want with too
I am not sure what your play own style is. I like my IP to look quite Caribbean tropical with vibrant colors so this park was kindly created for me by @Sandraelle who is a part of our wonderful DNA request build team and can be found on the following link if you are interested..

The same creator also made me a wonderful tropical looking resort that is placed where sparkling sands was nestled close by to the public beach. My sims love owning this resort
https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9108247
I also have a beach dive bar with musical objects, outdoor showtime festivals, fairies, witches and mermaids living on the outer islands getting on with their own thing close to an elixir store-) . I have a sim in the lifeguard career which can be amusing.
Nightclub and casino houseboat in the middle of the ocean so a sim has to boat or taxi there-) bakery houseboat, seaside restaurant, bowling and arcades, ice cream parlor, spas and gym the list is endless
I like to make all my worlds very specific to the game play I enjoy and in this world I have resort owners, off the grid fishermen, sailors who sail around the island diving and collecting, I love water sports, so all that wind surfing and boating suits me
Pets can be little problematic in IP as they can get stuck with the routing. I often find unicorns across from the mainland on the bigger island at next to the small fishing pond close to the consignment store if you want to look out for that..
If you ever suffer from lag/routing issues in IP @ciane put together a fantastic tutorial on that on the following link

and if you are not adverse to using mods Nrass mods are essential for a smoother playing game

I do hope you manage to find ways to enjoy yourself in this fab world
