What are people doing with that empty residential lot on the mountain in Snowy Escape?I normally don't play on big lots at all. I never know what to do with all that space.What have you been using it for? Show me what you've got and your ideas for it!

I plan to build a house for my family in my main save, but I haven't gotten to it yet - other things I want to do outside of TS4 are preventing me from having the 5-6 hours of straight play I'd need for it.I'll post it when it's done, but it probably won't be sooner than the next weekend, if that.

I made the lot a national park. I tweaked one I found on the gallery. It had an ice rink, food stall and some picnic tables. I added a tent area, a sauna area, a fire pit with logs.

I don't normally play on large Lots, but I did think it would be nice to have one residential on the mountain. I found this one, made by ptamsin and it is not overly large or crowded, which I like, though you could easily add more to it if you feel it's too empty:https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xbd498wr7fqeune/11-22-20_1-02-42%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0More pics under the spoiler.Spoiler (Highlight to read)https://dl.dropbox.com/s/nupb36uq8ef4qud/11-22-20_1-02-58%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0https://dl.dropbox.com/s/15taf388tzg4or8/11-22-20_1-03-12%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0https://dl.dropbox.com/s/bcl4g0z4drq8iel/11-22-20_1-03-29%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0https://dl.dropbox.com/s/nupb36uq8ef4qud/11-22-20_1-02-58%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0https://dl.dropbox.com/s/15taf388tzg4or8/11-22-20_1-03-12%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0https://dl.dropbox.com/s/bcl4g0z4drq8iel/11-22-20_1-03-29%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0

Good question, and answers. I look forward to more suggestions. I always make the large lots communal places, reserving the small lots for residentials. I have yet to decide what to do with that lot in the mountain though, as I do not want repetition to the rest of my world, and also to utilize the snowy mountain aspect.One idea is to make a monastery, with a large temple and court yard. Give it lot assignment residential, and create a large household of unrelated sims to be the monks. Make one famous, to attract the masses, have the lot trait Celebrity Lot. Place some items down to simulate religious life, and have large parties inviting only the criminal sims in the world. I think I see a path for the young Ito girl..

I think mine will end up being some kind of retreat or temple. I could also see turning it into some sort of hidden palace. I haven't had any hikers yet. I've only recently sent a few vacationers who were getting to grips with skiing & snowboarding so I haven't gotten to that part yet. I have sent them to the onsen and they've used the vending machines.So, it's early days for me but unless it's a palace or similar, I probably wouldn't make it residential. I won't put a single family home up there, I don't think.

Why of course I built a Mountain Rescue and Research base. First thing I did when I got the pack. It’s been on the gallery for a while:
Name: Mountain Rescue ‘n Research
Gallery ID: CPTN_NXR7
NO CC. NO MOO.

For the brave mountaineers ‘n such. I still haven’t used that hot pot on the table. Been too busy training the lads. ?
Note: Rescue dog not included. He just wouldn’t get out of the way while I was taking the real estate shots. Lazy beast.
There’s also a rec room, a research room, a gym, a shower house and a dog training area. I didn’t include all those images.

It's too daunting for me to build on that size of lot so I went to the gallery and found a ski lodge.

I turned it in to a park so that more sims would visit it. There's bedrooms up on the top level, so I will use it as a place to spend a few days while on vacation.

My testsim reached level 10 Fitness tonight and unlocked the option to Practice Fighting, which I thought was hilarious.

I also thought of the Sumo Beya, and how it might fit that concept. The sims have a dust cloud fight, and then hug it out. Not exactly wrestling, but perhaps it could be useful anyway.

I think I'll create an Osympics holiday for sims to compete in made up games; and might use that lot to build the stage for it.

I haven't decided yet. One of my sims got married to a Mt. Komorebi resident and they might move back home to be closer to the parents. They're pretty well off, and I'm not sure which empty lot I want to move into. Constant snow seems to be a neat theme, but at the same time nothing standing between you and the cold wind but paper walls year round sounds pretty miserable.
