What are your Top 5 Favorite Venue Types
The Sims 4 has many different types of Venues, and each venue can affect who shows up in different places. What are the top 5 venues you visit most often and enjoy building? Share the types of venues and why in the comments.
Here's a screenshot of where you can change the venue for a build.

My Favorite Venues are:
1. Beach Venue
2. Pools
3. Karaoke Bars
4. Art Center
5. Micro Homes
Most of these venues have simple requirements and make gameplay more interesting.
While I find visiting a Gym causes townies to bulk up, I noticed that regular beach visits make sims much more lean. The same thing happens when going to a pool.
Karaoke has a ton of fun songs, so I almost always visit one with my sims. Karaoke Bars also meet most of the requirements of Lounges, Bars, and Night Clubs. If I want to mix things up, I sometimes make a venue that can be changed into different venues. Makes new sims appear, causes different events to happen, and it can mix up the fun with a simple click.
Art Centers have so many activities, and that's how I learned that when you have more stuff for sims to do in a venue beyond what is required, you can essentially get more sims to show up. I have a beach lot that I put a tv in... It's fun when Sulani Sims show up for scary movie night. It's not actually an official island event, but at night with a high enough quality tv, it's not unusual for sims to go to the beach just to watch some horror movies.
Micro Homes tend to be excellent and simple homes. I discovered that there is a sweet spot for how much you put into a sims home before the volume of clutter and things cause lag. Micro Homes force me to build a little smaller, have nice impacts on social interactions, and create a challenge for building. That being said, I can still put a lot more than I thought into a micro home.
