I'm in the process of rebuilding/populating all of the worlds for my game.I think I have more than enough residential lots(I've been turning some of the bigger lots into multiple trailers or condo's to house 6-8 sims each), but I don't really know what I want to do with Magnolia Promenade. I think I've visited the retail lots there a total of once,,,, when they came out lol. So, what did you all decide to do with Magnolia Promenade? :>

I have two played retails there now (clothing and woodwork), a huge gym with climbing treadmills (instead of that big empty and sad trade center) and a spa from Maxis gallery.So my sport and wellness Sims go there a lot.I actually like the promenade itself and the world in general.

I put in Sunnyside diner and left it as it was apart from that.

I've created a restaurant promenade with Magnolia Promenade. Currently I have Diner, Asian, Seafood and an Italian restaurants in my most recent save file.

Magnolia Promenade is my go to for retail lots. I tend to view it as a town centre/shopping area. Sometimes I add a bakery, restaurant or cinema. My main sim has a little bookshop there where he can do his freelance work and write and sell his books.

Turned into a make believe college town. Two apartment buildings, a nightclub, and a park.

What did you do with Magnolia Promenade?

In one save, I turned it into residential with brick warehouse-type homes; everyone that lived there were artists. In another save, I used it for restaurants and bars, kind of a party square. Its one of my favorite places because it is like its on little place.

Most of the time I ignore it. In my current save I have a general store, a bakery, a carpenter's shop and a books and collectables store.

It’s nice to have a small neighborhood to do something with a theme. I used mine as the religious center with a large cathedral, small chapel, graveyard, and Vicar’s cottage.

In two iterations of my ancestral game save, I placed my Sims' Trading post. Another time it was his father's Tavern.

All community lots, mostly restaurants and bars, a gym, a park. The name Magnolia Promenade just screams outdoor mall to me.
