[AA] Custom Venues are missing features

DESIRED SOLUTION:
As a user, I expect a custom venue to allow me to mix all existing community lot types combined in one lot.
This can't be achieved due to the role creation criteria.

Role criteria
It doesn't make sense to have options such as Barista, Bartender, and DJ, but not have options such as Massage Therapist available.

On top of that, it seems that the option to select skills, traits, and careers only serves as a way to filter sims instead of a way of choosing the best sims options for the role, since it doesn't make any difference to select for example the skill veterinarian if you can't create that role due to the lack of the activity option.

Activities Missing
Attend stalls (Vendor Stall)
Sale products (Retail Employees)
Veterinarian
Hair and Makeup Artist
Spa Massage Therapist
Reflexologist
Yoga Instructor
Meditation Instructor
*This list could be incomplete

UI IMPROVEMENTS
Role Criteria = Age > Child
If this option is selected, the option to select a career as a criterion should be grayed out, since a child can't have careers. The same thing applies to Romantic Orientation, Relationship Status, and the traits and skills that don't apply.

  • Missing interactions I noticed so far:

    • Bee Box
    • Insect Farm

    These could fall under new or tacked onto "Care for Animals".

    Another important feature that is missing is the ability to assign private and public areas, as well as the option to close doors based on role.

    And actually, the game would benefit hugely if all the available customizations from Community lots, Businesses and Hobbies, Getaways, and Custom Venues were merged. There is no reason to limit the user to those random limitations. I'm not referring to include the functionality that allows to manage business, but to allow the creation of venues that include all the NPC roles to be able to visit them with your Sims (for example, a mall that has retail businesses, a food court, a movie theater, a hair salon, etc)
    Even in terms of business model, it would simplify the game development a lot, and it would only be necessary to add new items and activities in future packs.
