Are multi purpose lots next?

In not looking to have residential dwellings along side community establishments but just a gym that is also a smoothy shop or a cafe that’s also a lounge or a cafe with a clothing store next to it but all of the NPCs show up without me having to get my sim to hire them. Much like TS3 or TS2

I hope they understand what we want and not give us multi-purpose lots with multiple units like the multi-family lots coming in For Rent. I’m pretty sure that most players asking for it don’t want different functions on different units on the same lot.

Depends on how separate the units have to be. Given that it seems we can rent out a room in a house in For Rent, from the description, I can't see how this would be really limiting for multi-purpose lots. It would make it pretty easy to go, "here's the retail store/bar" and "here's the living area," for example. That would work for any multi-purpose lot I can think of -- my greatgrandparents' store they lived above, the bowling alley my dad grew up living above, my friend's mom's hair salon room, my grandfather's first medical office, the building my son lives in with ground-floor restaurants and apartments above...

Appears that you are referring to mixed function residential with community lots while I am thinking multi function community lots such as:

- A mall with retail shops and a food court
- A hotel with a gym, a spa, a restaurant and a club
- A book store with a cafe

I don’t see the point in having the ability to add all that to one lot if we’ll need to load them all separately like units anyway as we can already do that except that they’re on different lots.

I would like mixed function residential with community lots as well though.

LittleMsSam has a mod that I LOVE called "Next Door" right now it only has two next door types: Park next door and Cafe next door. Basically, if you add this trait and activate it, a fully functioning park or cafe will exist on your lot, so long as the requirements are met. I prefer this to mods (including hers) that just allow you to fill any vendor or NPC slots, because they don't attract the townies and townie behavior in the same way the "Next Door" mod does.

This is just a long winded way of saying the coding is definitely possible and a modder has already done it, and I would be very happy with similar functionality from the game. Even if only one additional "next door" type was allowed it would open things up dramatically.

while little miss sam mods have not worked for me since cottage living update, I never saw or tried this one. can you send me the link?

As much as I would love multi categories per lots, I think the feature is too similar to For Rent, meaning I doubt it will drop anytime soon. There should at least be one EP in between. Many simmers are not into building.

But I hope this will come eventually. Maybe even as a free basegame patch to prepare the ground for a Hotel pack ;) I think a hotel could be a natural case of benefiting from multi categories. A hotel could then have both a restaurant, lounge and spa, and perhaps a souvenir shop, too :)

I was exited for multi purpose lots, but that dripped away when we discovered that multi units come with loading screens.

If there really is a gaming gawd up there in the universe.... then yes, multi-purpose lots will be coming soon to the Sims 4. She'll make sure it happens for us.

B)

I just miss in sims 2 when sims just used whatever I put down. Anything that brings me closer to that ill enjoy.

It's really well overdue because so many of the game's preexisting lots, willow creek's gym, the bars in windenbery, to site 2 examples are built suggesting such. It would make the game feel more alive and realistic.

Hi Sorry for the delay! I tuned this thread out for the holidays. See below, the mod is actually called My Little Neighborhood. I really, really, really, hope she adds more lot types.
