How do I build a Bowling Alley

Where do I find the pack I downloaded, the Bowling one. Where do I find all things to build a bowling alley? I don't understand the process to get one started>☹️

Hi there @CLE777 have you worked it out yet?
1: Make sure the pack is in your game (see arrow on pic)
2: Simply go to a lot you wish to use for your bowling alley (keep in mind the 'bowling lanes' are pretty long as well..)
3: Once you're in the lot, sort the items 'via packs' is the quickest option to find what you need from a certain pack. Bottom Right in the 'build/buy' menu. Let me know how you go. 🙂

Yes, I built the bowling alley in Newcrest on the Twin Oracle Point lot. But now what? Will I need to purchase the lot for ppl to visit it, or will ppl just automatically go there to see what it is? Also, how do I have parties there?

Hi @CLE777
Glad it worked, You can buy a Retail Store, Restaurant and Vet Clinic at the moment, yes sims just 'populate it' when you choose to 'visit' the bowling alley with your sims.. If you do set it up as a Retail Store, just not sure how the 'Bowling Alley' would function.. possibly not as well (staff etc) There are also a few ways to 'get people there' 1: Throwing a party does ask you 'where you want to hold the party' and is created via the phone menu..by 'plan social event'.

2: Start a Club, either have your bowling alley as the new 'club gathering' spot for all the time, or don't make a club venue, and choose it sometimes. (Clubs came with the Get Together Expansion pack)
3: Even putting a water slide there, can get more people over, just by clicking on it.. lol, I do that randomly sometimes.. instant people!
Hope it sorts out now 🙂
