my jungle explorer sim Maya Jaguar and her housemate Anita have set up an Explorers Emporium which combines a Selvadoradian Museum and Gift Store with Barista Bar, together with a Private workspace Basement that holds their exploration office, archaeological work room, scientific research labs, herbal cookery area and insect collection and a vault to hold their finest treasures, and they also have a small garden growing foreign plants (Selvadorada and Granite falls) and an observatory, and finally a flat for them to live in on the top floor.
It is quite a large lot, and i've placed it in Oasis Springs which seems the natural location for such a building... but im finding it a bit slow to run on my laptop so maybe i need to split the shop and museum space out from the rest of it. But what i like most is that my 2 explorers go out and explore... collect treasures and insects and plant cuttings/fruits, buy up supplies from the markets and then come home and uncover their artifacts, authenticate them, uncover the fossils, brew herbal remedies from them, research the the plants, breed frogs, send off chrystals and rocks to the geocouncil, refine them etc etc and then stock their personal collections. Whatever is left over and is duplications is what stocks the gift shop alongside fruits from the plants, the supplies purchased at the markets and the home brewed herbal remedies. Its their living!
I too am doing over my worlds and wanting to set up a game save and am looking for interesting community lots. It would be really nice to set up a thread for people to share their more unusual uses for community lots, retail spaces, themes for bars/nightclubs/lounges etc that are useful and fun additions to the world beyond your basic cookie cutter pub, library, museum. Things like someone said they made a swimming pool in to a water play park for kids and toddlers and also assigned it to be a teen hangout so it was a great place for their teenage sims to visit to make new friends. Im searching for those kinds of ideas really, but maybe i just need to start a thread asking people for their input?!
