Unique Lots

Hey guys!

So I am OBSESSED with adding cool new lots to my worlds (I usually just play one family per game so I have a LOT of land to redo as I want. For example, I currently changed Sulani to Neverland, Oasis Springs to Santorini, Newcrest to Westeros, and San Myshuno as Gotham City). Because I only play one family I really don't need dozens of residential lots so I like to get creative and place more Lot types.

I am CONSTANTLY running out of ideas so thought I'd ask you all for your favorite original lot ideas. Or, have you made any in the gallery you think I'd like?

Examples of Lots I have:

-Goddess Temple
-A Church
-Space Needle restaurant
-Shipwreck hotel
-An Escape Room


  • Oooohhhh.....I have a couple you might be interested in.

    If you look through my catalog, you'll find many other Community/Restaurant, etc. Lots. You might like the Book Library I did. The online Gallery is being a fool now, or I'd show that too.

  • @Taoron Get out! This is crazy-- I already downloaded your Grand Theater! It's freaking amazing!

    I added giant movie billboards so it would look more similar to the theater down my street but holy crap do I love your work.
  • Senor Lamas... that name

    You know I encountered a living llama, downtown, like 3 days ago. I was weird to see a llama on real life and in that place surrounded with tall modern buildings. It had that typical blanket llama owners put on them and a red and yellow wool earring. They are large animals, yet smaller than horses.

    @CaptainElsa oh man, there's some fun build ideas here! I think my most unique build is a community centre? (And more images here.) It's set as a library, but it also computers, a cafe, a skills space, and a sleeping, eating, rec space. The idea I had was that it's for people who have nowhere else to go to be able to do whatever they need in a safe environment, I had the Runaway Teen challenge in mind when I made it. For your Gotham City, I can see it being a Wayne Enterprises idea, absolutely.

    Others I didn't build but absolutely love:

    Brainwash Suds & Duds by SimDoughnut. Combination laundromat and bar/nightclub!

    Earthly Paradise by whyeverr. A stunningly gorgeous paradise garden!

    Oasis Valentine Temple by crisldicrisl. Beautiful lounge/wedding venue with a great aesthetic.

    Mineral National Park by BakedSimsBuilder. It's so sparkly.

    Verdantis by Darthlilos. Full magical village!!

    Hobbiton Museum by CharlyPancakes. I put this one in Del Sol, seems to fit it well!

    Super Surf Internet Cafe by whyeverr. Perfect for off-the-grid households, might be a bit strange in Neverland ;)

    I also recommend a ton of other stuff by whyeverr, crisldicrisl, and Darthlilos, they have a ton of really creative stuff. Darthlilos especially does a lot of fantasy and sci-fi-related stuff.

    A couple I can't link to directly because they have CC - I absolutely adore Culpepper Heights by bottsbotts, which is this glorious build with a comedy club, luxe bar, adorable cafe, and wonderfully seedy subway station. And this is The Orangery by Linea - probably the prettiest pool I've ever seen!

    I've linked the most unique and different builds above, but I have a list of all the builds I use in my game here, including the above and a whole lot more. They're all beautifully built!
  • As I do have rather a lot of Unique Community lots... here are Links to a just Few of them. I hope useful :)

    LOL It's a tip of the hat to Senor Frogs. We had Llamas. =) Yeah. I've seen them before. Cool animal, but they can be nasty buggers. A lot of Alpaca farms around me now. Similar. Maybe a little less nasty. LOL
