What did you do with Magnolia Promenade?

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? :>

build and buy

I have Chez Llama there and a fancy resort hotel with a bar/lounge, salon, spa, retail shop, pool, and guest rooms on the biggest lot and I use LMS Resort and Hotel mod to make it a working hotel. Then on one smaller lots I have a Chanel store and on the other a high end bridal boutique. So it's sort of a Sims version of 5th Avenue in NYC or Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills CA, I guess.

I'm using MP for community services. I have a Council House there, and a creative build, called Fun Factory. It contains a theatre, meet and greet area, small studios fror freelancers etc. Also planning a hotel, and have a big bakery/bank combo.

It feels like a relief having one world with no residential lots, LOL

@Gordy I’m not sure, but it sounds like it would work! Let us know if you do it, that’ll be fun to see.

Just checked with a convenience store I built in Sulani. It works.

Sadly though, I can't sell Voidcritter booster packs in stores. Otherwise, I'd have a store based entirely around Voidcritters merch. But I keep a computer at the store lot, so my sims can order packs when they visit.

@Gordy I actually made one as well after reading your original post! :> I've yet to play around with it yet, but I also installed a mod that overhauls cooking and includes and ingredient system so shopping for groceries makes more sense in-game.

Its here if you feel like checking it out vv

I have Le Petit Fee Restaurant, Hipster Gastro Pub, Sam N' Ella's Diner and Laughing Llama Rollerrama - so three restaurants ranging from dive, mid-range, to super fancy and a roller rink. I kind of wish there were more lots so I could make it a larger business district. I never used it with the original shops. I could never get the hang of retail in the game.

@Cellardweller Same! Even just a couple of districts with 2-3 lots each, so I could make a cluster of restaurants/cafes, some retail lots, and a couple to do something different with.
Heres to hoping for bigger future worlds!(Gotta love Windenburg, its huuuuge)
