@Vyo4 I love this idea! An arcade (or similar) or similar lot type would be amazing! It would also be great if on this lot people could add a bowling alley (if they own that pack) if they like that would be useable to those that visit. It would be amazing if the Sims visiting this lot could play video games (on computers, or even via console/tv), and of course all of the gaming aspects you listed from all of the packs, if owned. If I'm dreaming here I would also love if I could own such a place as a business where I sell items or serve food... perhaps where they could just purchase food at a counter (somewhat similar to how you can at a bar now), and if it's owned as a business the sales from this food would be your income... perhaps even along with payments per use for certain games? And to push it a bit further, if this could be combined with a movie theater, if desired, how fun would that be?!
Anyway, if any new lot type(s) could make these gaming aspects workable in the manners you mentioned for dates, teens, kids, etc., this would enhance the game to me as well! You have my "XP" and "Me Too"! 🙌
Added my Me Too! I make many lots like this and usually end up making them a bar to get foot traffic, but then have to add more things to meet the lot requirements.
I did initially think that Generic would cover these types of lots but I get zero foot traffic on my Generic lots, even with social lot traits. My bowling alley was totally deserted until I made it a bar. My kids play castle was changed to a National Park because it has less restrictive lot requirements. I detest lot requirements, mostly because they don't carry over to different countries. In the UK we would never have chess tables, BBQs, tables and chairs in all of our parks for example. In the Sims by the time you've placed a roller rink on a little park it doesn't make sense to put chess tables around it. I did add one successfully to a retail lot (shopping mall) though and that does get busy. So I'm going to do the same for a new bowling alley.
So a lot type like this is a great idea, I'd like it with no lot requirements at all so we could make it just the way we'd like it to be and still get visitors.
