My 40x40 mall lot for Hylewood - Each business on the inside has a different facade (wallcovering) on the outside, and each business on the first floor has its own separate entrance in the front of the building.

I placed a fountain at the other end of the stairwell.

The right half of the third floor contains a recreation center. Near the stairs are a coffee bar and tables.

The basement contains the rabbitholes and chess and dominoes tables. I chose a green stone pattern for the concrete block floor, because it's easier on my eyes than stark white blocks.

Sometimes sims will buy food at the coffee bar on the third floor, ignore all those nice tables nearby, and take it to the basement to eat it.
