Get to Work Neighborhood Question

I'm thinking of getting this pack and have read that it comes with a neighborhood with just four lots, not a complete world. For those who have it, do you have your sims live in this neighborhood or just visit occasionally or to work there? If a sim lives there, is there enough for him/her to do during their downtime (fishing, plants to harvest, etc.)?

  • It's a very pretty area but small and lined with sidewalks. I usually leave it as a retail business area.. sometimes adding a park. Once I put in "zoo" with weird animals simmers had created from Cats&Dogs.
    I've also have it in one save to house some Old Town community lots (from Sims 1).
    I've had a restaurant there with no issue .. but it's been awhile since I've played that save so something might have changed.

    Thanks, @Karababy52 ! I have yet to find dragonfruit so will have to check out the fishing there. I chose the scientist career. No aliens yet, but I'm enjoying playing with the inventions.


    You're welcome! Have fun with the Scientist career and the rest of the pack! You'll be seeing aliens before you know it, in fact, perhaps you've already met one without realizing it! O.o *cue Twilight Zone theme song* ;)

    I have a mall, indoor ice skating park, cafe, and restaurant. I visit often. Plus it's a good spot to catch rare fish.

    Thanks, again, @Karababy52 . I finally saw my first aliens after 1.5 sim weeks. My scientist was talking to a coworker, and suddenly I noticed one standing nearby. I found five as I wandered the lab. I'm also loving all the inventions. Very pleased with my purchase :)

    @Aphodile love all of those ideas! I heard that restaurants are glitchy there, but maybe that's been fixed. Maybe when my fascination with the aliens calms down a little, I'll add my own shops, etc., to the neighborhood.

    You're welcome again! ;) Oh cool! Reminds me of when my Not So Berry Founder was in the Scientist career and one of her tasks with the satellite was 'Detect nearby aliens.' I was shocked when the circular beams of light came down and encircled the lab receptionist. I had no idea she was an alien until that happened. lol Happy to hear you're enjoying this pack and the inventions, they're so much fun! <3
  • The vet lot in Brindleton is insanely large for a clinic. The space is better used for a family home in my family save. I dl a cute little two exam room vet clinic from the gallery. It's on a 20×20 in Magnolia vs the 40×30 lot in Brindleton. It's not like my pets get sick all the time but when they do I still like having a vet clinic.
