Large Lot Help

I don't like huge lots. 20x30 is plenty big and I'll occasionally build on a 30x40  I'm trying to fill in these massive lots and am curious what others have done on the 40 to 64 lots I don't like m...

    As a person who also doesn't like mansions, here are some options I have for your large lots:

    ~ Shopping centres

    ~ Museums

    ~ National parks

    ~ Huge gardens will all fruits/veg/flowers/herbs

    ~ Launderettes

    ~ Cinemas

    ~ Theaters

    ~ Stadiums

    ~ Photgrahy studios

    ~ If you are the type of person who has sim aging on (or kills your sims), graveyards

    ~ If you have the seasons pack, you could use the lot for rollerskating rings and or ice skating rings since it can be hard to find them naturally occuring

    ~ If you use cheats, you could also put food stalls on them so your sims can learn new food recipies or just have access to specific food stalls that aren't always available

    ~ If you have the pets pack, you could build pet meetups with all the agility training equipment, toys, etc

    ~ If the local area is struggling to reach a particular footprint, you could add a bunch of footprint effecting objects to help it

    those are the ones I can think of currently but overall, large plots have a lot of potential for world building, even if you don't use them for housing!

@Idiosyncratic53 All great suggestions! I love community lots. My sims are really active away from home and I wish there was an actual sports arena or some kind of team sport they could play. I think I'll go for one of the rinks, I don't have one in a permanent location.
I recently built a pool lot that looks like a hotel but the rooms feature other activities like pub activities and the "check in" is a more like a movie and popcorn hang out. Plus we have basketball out back. So a skate rink would be fun! Thank you!!

@wahini2024There's a mod called The Sims 4 Turbo Careers Mod Pack which gives you more options to follow your sims to work and includes the athlete career so you could build a stadium/professional gym which you can then follow your sims to during work hours if you got the mod

    @Idiosyncratic53 Oh that's awesome, thank you! I'd love to have more career options in general as we try to play each career including the various paths and are fully running out of new jobs to explore. Totally check this out, thanks!
