Top 5 Lot Types

I was just going through my worlds to see what I had in each and have discovered a big imbalance in my community lots! Here are my top 5 quantities:

Park = 11
Bar = 10
Restaurant = 9
Library = 9
Lounge = 6

That seems like an awful lot of certain lots! But somehow, when I want to take my sims somewhere I never seem to have enough places to choose from lol.

So what are your 5 most widespread lot types and which is your least?

My least is the vet clinic - I only have 1, which is in Windenburg.

    Fairly balanced in my game, with many lot types being tied. My main save has:

    8 retail stores
    7 parks
    6 bars, libraries, museums and restaurants
    5 community spaces, rentals and spas
    4 cafés, lounges and night clubs

    I'm a little surprised about retail stores winning because my sims barely visit them, but then again, it makes sense to have one store for every kind of product. I have one clothing store, one for plants and flowers, one for bots and androids, one for bikes, one for everything alien-related, one for occult stuff, one for animal treats and livestock upgrade parts, and one for Selvadoradian relics. If I ever run out of space, I'll just combine most of them into one big shopping mall for everything.
  • I didn't count rentals since I clump them as "residential" type. ;)

    Still haven't quite sorted out where to put a restaurant in Sulani.


    in Sulani I have one with my luxury hotel build

    but I also have yacht (granted it hardly looks like yacht due to my ship building skill or lack there of) which can be turned either to nightclub or restaurant which i think i forgot to count actually huh.

    could also see like nice pier restaurant or maybe the bar could be turned to one
    or maybe pirate ship turned into pirate themed restaurant hmm

    I'll have to go back and count, but my prediction (I'm absolutely certain, actually) is that my top three are easily restaurants, retail, and spa, in that order. Bars might make it into the top five only because I haven't bothered to delete most of the premades; the same might be true of libraries.

    I have too many saves to count, but I know I have most restaurants and bars. Then cafes and libraries.
    Not sure about the last one if it's parks, gyms or nightclubs. Probably parks.
  • I think it's something like this:

    1. Restaurant (6)
    2. Pool (1)
    3. Park/National Park (0)
    4. Lounge (2)
    5. Cafe(1)/Museum(1)

    The numbers in paranthesis are from my newer rotational save.

    I never counted. It varies among my many different saves, but I know that bars are most numerous on average. A few of those are really bowling/gaming centers, though. Gym/Spa type places are probably next highest overall. After that probably comes nightclubs (some are bowling alleys). I don't delete any of the parks that came with base game or various packs, but I never put in any new ones. Same with libraries and retail shops, and I may or may not keep existing museums (I prefer Art Centers, but I don't usually have more than one or two in any given save). I only ever have one vet clinic, and usually only one or two restaurants, one karaoke bar, and maybe one or two lounges at most. I have however many cafes that came with Get Together. A few saves have an extra Community Space or two besides the ones in Evergreen Harbor, but some saves have only one or two, and only in Evergreen Harbor. I have no Pools at all (as a separate venue from gyms or spas, that is), so that would be my lowest number. :lol:
  • @EnkiSchmidt how come you have so few? Do you not have many packs?
