Torendi Tower as Community Lot.

I renonated/decorated the Torendi Tower Penhouse as a community lot. It is part of my makeover of San Myshuno.
I guess it is a Youth/Entertainment centre.

I imagine that some philanthropist {or maybe greedy person; probably named Torendi} took their large trust fund and the penthouse {at least} and turned it into a place for young people. Maybe they wanted the youth to have a healthier alternative to bars or something. o:)

Anyway; there is a basketball court, gym and yoga studio downstairs. Also a front/help desk and locker/shower rooms.
Then upstairs is a small movie theater, cafe bar with karaoke and a dance floor. B) Upstairs is also where you are able to enter the pool.
{I considered two or three bowling lanes, but they wouldn't fit :/ )

What I need to know is what might be the best lot type to set this on?
It fits the in-game requirements for gym, cafe, karaoke bar, nightclub, pool and even spa. Can I maybe change lot type mid-game, depending on what I want to be used? For example, a gym {or spa} during the day, karaoke bar weeknights and nightclub weekend nights.
Will Sims use the basketball court when it's set to gym?
I understand that Generic lot type is liable to result in lots of Sims milling around, using none of the awesome stuff. {Is that even true, still?}

  • I have a youth club in Oasis Springs which I have had for ages and it works as a generic lot.
    Generic is a good idea BUT it won't spawn any random sims to visit the lot. It will only be your sim and who they travel with.
    With cafe, you will find most people will mill around the coffee bar/service counter and not use anything else. Similar for the gym, people will generally use just the gym equipment.
    Spa is nice but you will find sims get obsessed with the lockers and changing into towels constantly.
    A pool might be a good way to go. Sims generally gravitate to it but will wander round using other stuff too. Obviously most people will be in swimwear though and weather, if you have seasons, can have an impact.

    Basically, I feel your pain here. Having a multipurpose centre is hard to classify but I love the idea and what you've done.
    You can certainly change the lots function/type as you go, however, doing this while in play mode while the sim is visiting can be a little tempremental.
  • Thanks @hadklax. What about changing periodically from Manage Worlds before they visit?
    Admittedly my game is already experiencing some technical issues. I will need to minimise the impact.
