Multi-purpose lots
I wish they would not limit us to one classification category when defining lot types. By that, I mean why can't a lot be both a gym and a retail store for example? I want to have a gym but also sell ...

This could be solved if they made more vendor booths that were a little more generic.
Something like the Realm of Magic booths, where they have a version that looks like a building, except less overtly magical.
You could have booths that slot into a wall, that resemble storefronts. Your Sim could enter the store, talk to the vendor, and buy groceries (ie fresh ingredients), new unlockable video games, or unlockable clothing. Something resembling the stores in the Sims Freeplay's Sunset Mall:

With something like this, any lot could become multi-purpose, to an extent. Own a retail lot? Now your business is one of several, in an actual mall.
Going to the gym? Why not stop next door first, and buy a smoothie?
We have the vendors stalls, but you need to pay the NPCs to show up and then they stay for like 3 hours and leave. I tried to make a sort of outdoor market with all the available stalls but it doesn't work that smoothly as when the vendors show up by themselves and stay on the lot as long as your sim is there, or at least longer than 3 hours. I would like for my sims to be able to sell their stuff in in a grocery store, so a real store would be much nicer, and you can decide what to sell in it. Alternatively, EA could build an entire neighbourhood shaped like a mall, with individual lots placed where the ownable shops should be. Each floor would be a different sub-neighbourhood. And there could be different stalls, like you suggested, between the ownable lots.
