Yes, I will send my sims pretty much where I want to. It especially gives my poorer sims an opportunity to get around.
I will say that Mt.K, Sulani, Sivadorado and Granite Falls are used more as vacation worlds. Oasis Springs is my Palm Springs with almost all lots being some type of venue.
Many of my lots have more than one purpose such as an office building/cafe, cafe/bowling ally, Arcade w/small park/pool, bar/spa ( in brightchester ), Museum/photo studio, many can be converted from lounge to night club, many others such as parks, museums, even the admirals wreckage nightclub also have wedding spots, and some lots have mini motels. I have a few large malls where my sims have various options such as shopping, swimming, bowling, bar or nightclub, arcade, movie theatre and photo areas, all the malls are quite different with different types of areas, most were downloaded from the gallery and changed up a bit. Even most of my cafe’s and restaurants have some type of recreation indoor or outdoor, like video games, musical instruments. I found one outdoor cafe on the gallery that has a bar, kids play area, and a pool split in half with the slip’n’slide, the ice cream shop I have has a play area for kids, I have a karaoke bar that also has a scout room ( on top ), laundry mat and toddlers playground (underneath ). In strangerville I have a lot with a small laundromat, a small gym and a small cafe. I have many more lots too that do do double or triple duty. They get more traffic from my sims. I found a Grand Canyon on in the gallery that is a spa, outside I added a tent, a bar-b-que and picnic tables, even a campfire for roasting marshmallows, so my sims could camp there too.
I found out one of the community lots ( via Eco living ) that I set up at the salthouse in San Myshuno, has a garden, marketplace, and maker space ( all in one in each slot ), …..and when I sent a sim there the other day, I saw sims gardening, selling things from the tables, and using the maker equipment, it pleasantly surprised me!
