Well. I have several lots for story purposes in New Crest. A community pool, a brunch restaurant that is very popular for my Sims' friends to invite to, Maxis' Chez Llama restaurant (for more fancy dates) that is NOT so popular, a church (nightclub because it doesn't work as a generic lot) for wedding venues, a cityhall for same purposes, a spa and a community center. I also have at least two retail lots (a market place in New Crest and a mall in the Magnolia hood).
For the other neighbourhoods, I'll do some changes as well. I want to put a restaurant in Windenburg, for instance and I also have some other ideas I am not sure about. The Pets world is too new to me to do anything, atm.
In Willow Creek I want to do some changes. Ages ago, I replaced the original Gym there with another, Maxis made one that has a yoga studio and a sauna facilities. Really love that gym so he will stay. The rest of the community lots, I am going to do some changes and even replace. Just haven't decided on what, except I've decided on a graveyard for my dead. I am also toying with the idea of changing either the museum or the library into an bookstore/internet café. Keep the buildings as is and just change the interior and designation.
Same with Oasis. Both the lounge and the snake bar will stay. I really like that bar and it was one of my favorite places (when I only had the basegame) to go on a date or just meet others and the old people (adults and elders) need a place for themselves right? :wink: The gym was scrapped with a bowling alley, and the park will go bye bye and replaced with a big science museum dedicated to, yes, science. It will have ALL the skill building items dedicated to logic and sciency-stuff. Its also a museum showcasing all the crystals, fossils and rocks, etc.
I am also going to plomp down either a restaurant, like a diner, or a café in Oasis.
I am also toying with the idea of putting somewhere a café/faux bakery. I've saved two very creativly created bakeries from the Gallery that could fit that purpose.
The Community center in Newcrest is designated as an arts center and there I have a lot of skill building items for all ages, game tables, game consoles from the kids pack for the kids, a bar (which does work), a café (I have to hire server into), those smoking things, a pool, computers, an area for toddlers/kids, a basketball court and an balcony area with several yoga mats. I've brought my Sims there a few times and its working like a charm. One of my favorite hangouts for my Sims and I even put one of my own created clubs there and planning on putting more there as well. Maybe even moving one of the Maxis created ones.
Newcrest also has a downloaded bustop/park where I created a little underground nightclub (beneath) with a DJ booth and gave it a teen trait. I am going to change it into a karioke bar instead and chuck the DJ booth for the kareoke machine because my Teens can't DJ :lol: It's supposed to be a 'secret' hangout for the two teen clubs I'm going to create.
