Hotels

I guess if they don't give us hotels in the near future, one workaround (at least for owning a hotel, not staying in one) is to build your own hotel, but you have to live in it (residential lot), and use the roommate feature in DU to have "hotel guests"? It's not a perfect simulation of the concept, but it's better than nothing. Since I don't have DU, and one of my fave households to play is the Hotel Cortez from American Horror Story, I have my Sims lure unsuspecting passersby into the hotel and lock them in rooms. It's still fun in a way, haha. Of course this method works for this kind of storyline, but my Sims don't earn money from the guests. Not directly, anyway. I guess you can pretend that they are by cheating money per day the Sim stays in the room (if not using the roommate feature). Though once you play another household, the trapped Sims escape or teleport out of the room they were in. I mean you could technically own a restaurant and build it as a hotel but the customers will come in, eat, pay and leave, and will only use the beds when sleepy (or if you have autonomous WooHoo turned on via MCCC) and won't really stay overnight.
