What community lots do you have in your game?

Didn’t read through all of carefully so sorry for any repeats.

~Laundromat (though they’re not really that functional as community lots but still a fun build)
~Movie theater (I don’t have the movie night stuff pack but still doable with base game stuff)
~Hotels/vacation homes/condos (and now you can actually make them vacation lots for your sims to use if they want to stay over in another world!)
~Homeless shelter
~Fire station
~Skating rinks (for people who have seasons)
~Community pools
~Bridal/wedding shop (for get to work - themed shops are fun! Now that I have seasons I’ve been wanting to make Christmas store)

One of my favorite builds I did was a combo vet clinic/bistro called Tails and Treats. It’s technically just a vet clinic but you can call a bartender/barista to work on site so it does actually function as both. I even have a pond/pool dogs can swim in and some training equipment out in the back so it ends up being a very usable lot for pet owners. There's even a tub you can wash your dog in if you don't have a bathtub in your home.

Oh wow these are awesome!

I'm going to add more community lots, but now I think I have the following. Some I got from the gallery. I also put activities in different sims' homes, so that when my sims visit one another, they have things to do together.

• toddler-focused playground (but there's also stuff for children)
  
• giant community center (it has all kinds of stuff: cooking area, dance studio, music practice rooms, a little cafe, garden, woodworking area, etc.)
  
• a redone Foxbury Commons
  
• a PC bang (like a computer cafe)
  
• cafes (one like starbucks, one for dessert, and some others)
  
• restaurants
  
• wedding venues (a barn-themed one and another)
  
• small movie theater
  
• photo studio
  
• bowling alley
  

I'm working on adding maybe a couple concert venues and maybe a special art studio/gallery and later a museum with all the things my sims collected.

Tails and treats is adorable! That is a great idea :)

I have a psychiatric hospital.

For anyone who wants a functional laundromat littlemisssam has a laundry mod that let's you put dirty clothes in your inventory. So after I get enough clothes I remove I from the hamper and take it to the laundromat ?

Once again for anyone who uses mods littlemisssam also has prefences lot trait mods.
So for example I make an arcade and add the lot trait to it preferences for playing games and dancing. And sims will come and automatically start playing games.
I also have her mod more visitors and with mccomand I raise the cap on how many sims are allowed in a zone. So my arcade is jam packed with tons of sims using everything around.

My restaurant was so full I couldn't get a seat ??? just letting you know because these really spice up my community lots and make them fun to visit! And I have tons.

One more mod of hers I want to mention is auto employees. So if I put a bar in my arcade for example an employee will automatically show up, giving the lot multi functionality

Oh, I liked the psychiatric hospital idea, I have built that as well, in Strangerville, with lots of motherplant seeds all over the place.
Designated as a residential, with a live-in doctor and nurse. Moderately presentable on the upstairs floor; and a cellar representing the grim history of the unscientific experiments allowed to go on in that area.

I also saw in another thread that the large toddler playground makes the toddlers imagine it as a pirate ship, so now I need to build a park for children for it!

I have just finished rebuilding Foxbury Commons too; geared towards the distinguished degrees object-wise; will do the same for the other university. I have NAP Body and Mind for Foxbury in mind; and Support the Performing Arts for Britechester. All that violin playing, poor students, so many idles to deal with in one day.
I realised that I will find the university gameplay much more fun if I placed a lot of residentials for silly misbehaving professors in the world, only having one university housing for each university section, so that is my current sim-project.

I mostly have cafes, restaurants and retail stores... I seldom make pools.

All these are great mod suggestions that I actually didn't know about. I will definitely be using them :)

I have the ones that came with the game and all EP's, SP's and some restaurants from the gallery.
