I'm ok with fewer lots due to the multiple households per residential rental lot... however, nine is still on the skimpy side even with the residential rentals in mind. After all, most of us aren't going to just have a world full of apartment buildings and nothing else. I'm nowhere near firming up my plans, but just off the top of my head, I'd probably want at least a couple of apartment buildings, a couple of vacation rental lots, and at least one single family home, which brings me to five lots immediately. You just know there will be a premade bar or lounge, so that brings us to at least six lots.
That leaves only three lots, at most, to choose between libraries, parks, museums, community lots, restaurants, pools, gyms, spas, retail, wedding venues, etc. I rarely use gyms, and I'm probably willing to give up a park (since we have the animal sanctuary and botanical gardens, even if they are rabbitholes), and I'm probably willing to not have a restaurant since we have the night market, and can set up our own food stands with Home Chef Hustle. But I think I'm going to want to try to squeeze in a spa and at least one retail lot, to make it feel like both a vacation destination and a place where people actually live. So... it's going to be a tight fit. Even 10 would be easier to make work.
To a certain extent, we should be able to use the shared spaces in the apartments to get creative and replace some of the other things. Like making pseudo community gardens. And your sims could teach yoga or set up their food stands in the shared spaces. But it won't work for everything.
