My sims hardly ever visit the premade Desiderata community lots. When they have outings, they go to either the Beach Promenade or the beach fishing spot. The beaches are definitely my favorite lots here and beach is also my favorite type of community lot. My second favorite lot type would be pool, but surprisingly I haven't added one so far to either Pitstop or Desiderata.
Pitstop Valley has almost more community lots than residents:
- church (wedding enabled)
- rundown motel (with disco, buffet, double beds and electronics selling station)
- gas station (sells groceries, games, pet collars and magazines)
- unfinished skate park (with invisible skating rink)
- retro diner (restaurant)
- Oldwest themed playground (generic com lot)
Residential lots/home businesses:
- Afterschool Science club (Simlogical active school, Pitstop Valley teens only)
- Police station (residential, sims rotate in an out)
- Asylum (same as police station)
- Saloon (home business)
All these lots saw regular use when I last played (my Sims 2 is on hold atm).
University (not added yet):
I tend to send my students to community lots in the main neighborhood, to stop time from progressing. They only visit campus com lots to buy their YA clothing. And even that only because the shop from homes clothes rack doesn't support young adult outfits. Shopping just isn't something I enjoy to play.
Skate Park:
Playground:
Renovated hospital, now an asylum:
The beauty of Pitstop Valley is that it is supposed that 40 souls dump at the highway, so my nonexistent building skills don't look out of place here.

Cool places, do they require custom content?
Also as for community lot, i use mostly vanilla ones, the ones i created are mainly recreational lots (lots of fun, hanging out,...)
Some do, unfortunately.
> - church (wedding enabled)
There is a wedding arc on the lot, because the neighborhood's creator had a mod that allowed them to place it on a community lot. I don't have that mod myself, but I think I could use the wedding arc nevertheless (haven't tried).
> - unfinished skate park (with invisible skating rink)
Mod adds an invisible option to the skate rink, but it isn't strictly required for the lot to work.

> - Afterschool Science club (Simlogical active school, Pitstop Valley teens only)
I was going to say this one needs a mod, but come to think of it, the teacher could just invite the teens with the group system.
If you want to look into school from home, here is the mod: http://www.simlogical.com/sl/Sims2Pages/Sims2_School.htm
> - Police station (residential, sims rotate in an out)
I placed a cc shooting range, knife throwing boards and a servo charging station, but none of this is really required, just for atmosphere.
The sims living here go to work normally. Usually they are the lower ranks, when they advance a bit and found families, they move out to real homes. The only permanent resident here is a zombie.
My third subhood is Bluewater, but I’ve made it quite large and changed it a lot. There I have a central area with lots of business and shops of all kinds, a few bakery’s, larger parks, many restaurants etc. By the beach there’s a lighthouse restaurant, a boardwalk, and so on. I also have a huge castle on the mountains that functions as both a historical building/museum and a wedding venue.
On campus I have a bowling facility, roller skating place, small shops, a small club/bar, a park and a library.
Downtown I have so many restaurants and coffee places, big and small parks, sporting facilities, many clubs and bars, a motel, a little boulevard with stars in the ground and malls and shopping centers.
Here is a tea place (Owned business with a custom menu)
Here is a bowling alley
And here is a fancy restaurant
Terrific Family Play
Too fun
The sims 2 forever
