What did you do with the strange lot between two streets (18 celebration street) near the recreation centre. I do not see a house there.

I put a "marketplace" there. I took the coffee shop marmalade(YouTube builder) created for that lot and edited it to be a community space/marketplace lot, added a playground and a pizza cart. Now it doubles as a pizza and coffee shop.

I built a giant green house there, one side has a cafe, the other side has a roller rink. The lot functions as a cafe. On the first floor is a walkway that goes all around it so you can see the plants from above. I might change the roller rink for some planters and create a real gardening space for the sims in the future, but I quite like it as it is for now, it has a really nice feel to it especially when it rains heavily outside.

@crocobaura is that lot on the gallery? Sounds like a pretty cool idea & build.

@Starfree It's not finished yet, I haven't added all the decorative plants inside, it' supposed to look like a jungle, but I can upload it later tonight if you want to look at it.

I used the various shell buildings as a template and built a series of townhouses with stores and an art gallery on the ground flor. I use it as a retail lot. Like you I didn't think it fit with a house.

@crocobaura I'd love to see it, but I can wait until it's finished. Just post a link when it's ready :).

@Starfree It's on the gallery now. I was too tired last night to start the game.

The lot wasn't ringing any bells for me so I just went and had a look at it. The first thing that came to my imagination was a drive-thru burger joint, like an In-N-Out or Sonic type of thing. It would have been perfect if there had been a second cut curb opposite of the one that's already there. One cut curb says residential, two would scream commercial. When I get some spare time I may still give it a try and make a little restaurant.

The lot needs to be a community lot, preferably somewhere sims can eat as there is so much open space in that neighbourhood and I imagine after a power walk in the park one needs a coffee at least. :smiley:

A little coffee shop, maybe a place that serves smoothies and organic snacks. With the size and shape of the lot @JAL has the perfect setup, two-four little shops each doing something a little bit different. I'm already thinking, a coffee shop, health food store, and a little restaurant that serves organic dishes.

It doesn't take much anymore to get my builders imagination going.?

Edit: I just looked up and saw your build. That's looks beautiful!❤️ I love lots and lots of plants and flowers in all my builds.
