Rabbit Hole vs Non-Rabbit Hole

How do we even get venues that aren't rabbit holes? I'm kind of new to TS3 as in I have not played it much in the past. All the venues in my game minus the park seem to be rabbit holes. I'm only playing with base game and seasons installed atm so I don't get overwhelmed with to much stuff to learn all at once.

I'm so sorry if I'm hijacking the thread. This just seemed like it was related to topic. :#

Unfortunately some of them you need to buy some stuff to make the non rabbit hole version like for resturants you need to buy the venue but you can also eat outside the rabbit hole building, as for spas i bought the massage chairs to make mine and added them to the salons where you can see sims get fashion makeovers. You can make clothing stores if you have into the future but i havent tried myself so hopefully others can help you with that. For laundromats you need washing machines, if you have ambitions you will have some in your game. There are other venues you can also make with store items like a street market. To run a bakery you need the store venue too lol sorry if this is discouraging you. I feel in your case it is better to just play with the open venues you can make with the expansions you own since you dont know how long you are going to play ts3 so it seems better not to invest this much yet, but if you decide to buy something i advice to do through research before to see if you like the way it works because it is not the same as other games, like your resturants wont function the same way in ts2 so you wont be able to work as a cook and whatnot.
