Question Slash Suggestion

We have a whole Bowling themed Stuff Pack. Why was Bowling Alley not a new Lot Type? Perplexing to me. Please add Bowling Alley to Lot Type. That is all.
  • If you put a bowling lane in a bar, lounge or nightclub, it'll function as a bowling alley with random teams coming in to play.

    I think movie theaters might work well if built on retail venue where you have nothing set for sale, or maybe something very cheap that they buy quickly. If they have nothing else to do they will settle and watch TV. If you fill the popcorn machine they will even grab some popcorn to eat if they are hungry.

    You get me. My point is that we can make things work but that they should work as intended by simply establishing the the Lot category. As far as I experienced in Sim3 Lot categories worked as intended Vampires congregated at Vampire Lounges for example. Granted it had a bunch of rabbit holes but the is besides the point. Open Lots work as they were supposed to be. It seems in the Sims 4 we have become accustomed to making do with less rather than its done properly the first time.
