Best lot type for rinks?

I haven't tried it yet, but with bowling allies they always label those lots as Bars, and the other sims use them. I would see if that labeling it as a bar might work, but I'm not sure.

I’d say gym. Lots of different gyms in irl have different perks and I’d say having a rink is one of them.I tried to built one with the upper level open so sims can sit and view from above but I didn’t quite get it to look good.

I built one as a gym but no one except my sim actually used the rink, everyone else was using gym equipment. I also used one from the gallery that was a cafe lot type and had the same results.

Maybe they’re broken, if no one is using them beside our own sims. I remember early on when it released some said on the lots where rinks appear for the seasons, sims still don’t use them

I had some townies use some rinks specialized as parks. They work well as bars as I've tested.

I downloaded an indoor skating rink classified as night club and no sims would use it except mine but the bar attracted a lot of sims.

I think their going to have to patch skating rinks like they did with pools so sims will use them.

I still dont know why we didn't get a skating lot type.

I built mine as a pool (with a pool in the basement), but it didn't cause anyone to use the rinks. And everyone except my Sim showed up in a bathing suit.

I had this same problem =\ I spent a lot of time building this really nice lot with an ice-skating rink at the bottom and a pool at the top level, classified it as a pool at first and people only used the pool showing up in swimsuits. I tried lounge next and I think maybe one or two sims ended up using it or one tried to, but it felt off to me because I needed a mic and music instruments to classify it as a lounge. I even tried generic and that didn't do much either.

I'm hoping that they'll just make a skating lot type as well and I'll just separate my pool from my indoor ice-skating rink.

Try bar and see if that works.

Tried a skating rink classified as lounge and npc sims still aren't using.
