Gamepack for Malls-Shop 'Til You Drop
I would love to see an addition to the gameplay and build mode where you can build a complete functioning mall and not have a household own it in order for it to operate. As long as you have the required items for a retail lot, the NPC sims will show up and work. Now once you have a sim purchase it, then they would be required to manage it. But having a mall, would open up so much creativity for the sim builders. I remember in the Sims 2, there were "coffee/espresso carts" that you could place on a lot and your sims could buy or treat another sim to coffee. They should bring that back! The food stalls that were in the Sims 2 allowed you to create a food court. Please EA, look a little more into malls/shopping centers with various commercial lots allowed. Sometimes, the decided lot zoning options can be restricting, perhaps a rental retail space. This way different households can purchase different stores on a retail lot (i.e.. a strip mall).
