Best lot type for rinks?

Hi, everyone. No Sims (but mine) are using the rinks in the lots. :( First I made a generic lot. It was terrible: no Sim even showed up there. Then I made a bar. Nobody touched the rink nor the bowling. I tried a restaurant. Nothing again. It's so frustrating... :(
I hope SimGurus take a look on it.

For bowling they ll do that if it's a bar unless the patch broke it.

Nope, still works dandy for me. (on the bowling anyway)

This question is really frustrating and I posted the same thing here: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/comment/16589290#Comment_16589290

Sims simply aren't attracted to rinks, and to me it doesn't make the slightest sense that this object doesn't work on lots classified as parks.

And the problem is not only that, the Sims are EXTREMELY compulsive by chess tables. This object is a real curse. They became extremely unbearable. Sims use this object excessively, and it's annoying.

Children use only playground objects from the base game. They don't use the swing introduced by The Sims 4 Seasons, at least not autonomously.

I added water slides and plastic pools to the Sims on a summer day, but they practically paid no attention to those objects added by me. They were just paying attention to what I added to the lots after I deleted those damn chess tables.

These chess tables are a real problem.

Producers need to review WITH URGENCY objects that Sims may develop interest in using in community lots, because we add stuff, and Sims simply don't use it at all. It's an irritating and frustrating experience.

And isn't it a park requirement to have a chess table? I don't want chess tables in my parks.

As for the skating rinks, I just click on them and invite other sims to skate with my sim. Of course, it would be nice if sims used them on their own, I'm sure it will get tweaked eventually.

Bury the chess table :) I have lots with doorless sheds, stairless attics, and underground bunkers for things various lots "need". There's an entire pirate ship buried under one park!

I'm of mixed feelings on the NPC skating. I'd like to see them skating without having to make it happen, but on the other hand, I don't want random played Sims in rotation learning to skate if I don't want them to.

OK!!! This is it! From now on I will go to my Parks and bury the chess tables, because they are required for Parks... The second picture you posted is such an eye opener! WOW! The Sims seriously use other stuff, if no chess tables are around!

I've built a Roller/Ice Skating rink building myself. I call it the Rink-O-Rama. Question is, Should it be a lounge (Because I also have a karaoke machine, bar, bubble smokers, etc.) or a community lot? Not really sure.
