What do you search for in the Gallery?
I've been reading the Things Builders Do that Annoy You thread and it got me thinking about something similar: What do you search for in the Gallery? What kind of lots do you download the most? ...

Depends on what I am looking for really. In my new save, I've been primarly searching and downloading all kinds of varied townie groups of the Gallery to fill my worlds with. I am only playing with one household in that save so I haven't gone any househunting yet and I remodelled Willow Creek's nightclub into a restaurant.
In my old save I have primarly been downloading buildings for various purposes. I can't build to save my life so I am dependent upon the Gallery and the great talent that recide there. My searches are varied; from looking for that just perfect house for a certain household to looking for a type of house to fit a certain theme. For instance the other day I looked for a house for the Hallow Slough lot in Willow Creek (accross from the Goth house) that would fit with the kind of style that are already on the adjcent lots, Umbrage Manor and Parkshore.
New Crest is now filled with varied community lots along with one residential area. The residential area has a big apartment block and the rest of the lots have a modern looking houses to compliment that building.
I also went on a search and download spree for Oasis Springs that would fit with the Hacienda type houses that are found in Skyward Palms, where the Caliente household is located. I wanted more consistency for that world and found that kind of housing for the rest of the hoods in that world, even replaced housings in Parched Prospect and in the newbie area Bedrock Strait (but I left Zest's trailer though).
Then I have searched for some really nice restaurants, like a western type restaurant and an icecream parlour for Oasis and a restaurant that fits in with Willow Creek commercial district that I turned into a vegetable/vegan type bistro.
I also have downloaded buildings and even shells of buildings with the purpose of building upon and remodel to fit my purpose. That is how I found my BFF apartment building and my community center.
Soon I plan on finding a bowling ally that fits better within the Hacienda theme in Oasis as the one I already have found and placed next to the Rattlesnake Juice bar isn't suitable. If I can't find any suitable bowling alley I will download a Hacienda type house and remodel it into a bowling alley.
