Spa day: How to offer a massage on community lot?

I have a couple sims that will be masseurs. It's not a real career, but I'm good at pretending :)

This sim is into Wellness, and do some yoga and meditation, to stay in the loop, and offers massages to household members for a start.

But I have a problem offering massages on a community lot. The idea was to add a small room with the massage bed at the local gym, then go there to "work" occasionally. I thought that, like with bars and cafe desk, the massage bed would be operated only when the lot is categorizes as a Spa lot. But no... the game's masseurs are flocking to the bed no matter what. And there is no no way my sim can operate it.

Is there a way to offer massages away from home? I didn't manage to put the massage bed in my sim's inventory, so there is probably no way to bring "your own bed" to a location away from home?

    You should try to build a small gazebo at the park, the NPC will not use it and your sim can do his job ;) This gazebo is for two tables, and is not huge; it can be smaller for one table and you can make it match the deco of your park:

  • Thanks! Will it work because of the lot category = park, or the build in?

    @Simmerville because of the lot category. The gazebo idea is only because it looks nice at a park :D and because of Seasons... you need a roof with the rain. I have parks with a community house, that works too. Also you can create a club (if you have Get Together) with your sim and customers.
  • @emere Great idea using a club for customers! Because random sims on a given lot might be more interested i other activities, I guess.

    I only tried giving massage on Spa and Gym. Park will do fine, or maybe I could add a basement "mini-spa" at one of my shopping malls... Your gazebo looks nice for warmer worlds, but , but might be a bit chilly during freezing winters? Massages can of course be seasonal, everyone needs a break :)

    Shopping Malls? That sounds like fun :# Just remember that clubs do not work at generic lots. You should take some pictures of your gameplay!
