Moving "necessary" lots, is it possible?

Have you tried saving a copy of the lot to your library then bulldozing the lot? If you can't change the lot type to residential you can always plop down the one you saved or just try it in a fresh save you can delete if your plan doesn't work out.

I think the special lots are locked to one lot type. You can get creative and do other things on those lots, but you can't actually change the type.

I've been afraid to mess with them. Lol. But, that's probably the best plan.

Some clearly are, like Von Haunt and San Myshuno park. I'm sure I can do some creative remodels. But there are others that aren't locked.

I'm really curious about what happens to the lots that I can move. Like Strangerville information Center and 8 Bells. If I move them to another world, will military Sims still hang out there? Or do they only hang out there because of the lot's location? If I move the Moonwood Collective hangout and put it in Newcrest, can Sims still access it through the tunnels and access tunnels through it? Or does it absolutely have to be in that world?

I think Strangerville has to have a bar and a library, but you can change or move them. The lab can't be changed in any way. I don't think if you put the original lot in a different world it will get Strangerville story visitors.

Any bar in Strangerville will attract military sims, and any library will attract scientist sims. The bookshelves will also generate some evidence for the story. You can change those lot types freely. If you copy 8 Bell and Information Center to a different world, they won't attract the special Strangerville sims anymore.

Military and scientist sims as well as conspiracy nuts will always be generated as walkbys in Strangerville, re-zoning the lots won't stop that. Because you can catch scientists and military sims "in the wild" to help with your story tasks, you don't strictly need a bar or libary in this world.

The underground bunker in Moonwood Mill isn't an official hangout, it is just a part of the bar lot. The Wildfangs' hangout is the trailer with the bonfire nearby, and the Moonwood Community's hangout is the tree in the forest, both of which we cannot edit or remove. (You may be able to grab them from debug mode, I'm just not sure if they will work in other worlds).

I don't know what happens in regards to tunnel traveling if you bullzode the bunker or move it to another world. I've had a sim exit in the bunker only a single time. If I had to guess, I'd say the tunnels can connect to any of the special werewolf doors, but take that with a grain of salt.

The library in Moonwood Mill seems not to have any special function, I changed it to residential and so far haven't felt I'm missing out.

The bar on the other hand will always generate a werewolf bartender who can give you the werebies cure. If you don't care about that, you may get away with changing the bar lot to something else. (I didn't try so far.)

I don't know about the pub in Henford, but would like to know, can I have a pub elsewhere in that world (in the Bramblewood, for example) and will the pub owner with their special errands spawn there?

About the werebies cure, other than the bartender there is an option to sleep it out, but it doesn't have 100% success chance.

On the other hand, it's a moodlet, so MCCC's function to remove moods, UI Cheats or the moodlet solver potion from the reward points store should do the trick with no need to keep a bar around?

I don't use mods, but I'll keep the other options in mind, thanks!

I thought I read somewhere that the library in Moondwood Mills had books with legends on on werewolves. Do those spawn at other libraries as well?

I don't know if they spawn in other libraries, but the werewolf books needed to unlock Lunap Epiphany and the Read 3 werewolf books aspiration task can be bought normally at any bookcase. My latest werewolf lives in Oasis Springs and was able to progress through his aspiration without ever having set a toe into Moonwood Mill.

More important for the lore are the objects you can dig up in Moonwood Mill: books/magazines unlock recipes and the pottery reveals more history.
