Wedding Venue Lot Type

I'm hoping that the Wedding venue Lot type is associated with having NO random sims visit the lot and very minimal autonomous activities outside of what the events prompt, so that guests pay attention to the things that the player is controlling for the events, rather than "doing other stuff".

This is what I'm hoping for too. When I made a wedding venue and had to set it to a nightclub (only one that the build met the lot requirements) all the Sims wanted to do was to hang out in the bar and a lot of Sims who weren't invited showed up and chatted with the wedding guests. The uninvited Sims looked so out of place in their casual and party attire too.

I'm also hoping that the wedding venue lot type doesn't have any strange requirements that will be out of place. For example: a park requires a chess table.

I use parks mostly for wedding venues with a custom lot trait for wedding venue, but that also means dealing with random sims not at the wedding. I tried to use Natural Park for one, but for unknown reason that isn't allowed (stupid). I'm looking forward to the new venue type.

Now if I were running the game, all venue types would be possible to use for all types of events, leaving it up to the players what they want to do. But then if I ran the game, lot types would also be combinable through lot traits and service sims would show up on all community lots if there was something there for them to show up to.

I tried to have a wedding at one of my venues -- I think it was a karaoke bar -- but the game wouldn't allow it, so I had to temporarily change the venue type to something else. I agree that weddings should be allowed wherever the Sims want. If they want to get married at a bowling alley or on a desert island, that should be up to them!

I use Myshuno Meadowns for most weddings, there's hardly anyone visiting.
As I always have 15 guests, the couple, the caterer, bartender and musician, that equals to 20 Sims already so there aren't any strangers showing up when I throw the wedding at a lounge or park.
Still, I always love getting more venue types.

The wedding pack was originally scheduled to be released 02/17/2022. I've been trying to preorder it for days. When can we actually order and download?

I believe game packs may not be available for preorder.
