The one in Willow Creek is a popular wedding venue in my game. I made some edits so that it is set up for repeat weddings. There's a piano and bar. There's a chocolate fountain. I have an area on the upper balcony with a wedding arch, benches and flower petals. Bring your own cake and keep the bride and groom on separate floors until the ceremony. I think I added a grill or it was already there with tables in the garden for food. It's not a restaurant, it's specifically for parties.
I use the one in San Myshuno as an actual art gallery with the bar attached. My city sims do go there to get out of the house especially if they are creative types.
I almost never use the one in Oasis Springs so I need to think about that. I've only played with Del Sol Valley a few times. I didn't think about sending my other sims there to tour the museum like tourists but it's a good idea.
I'm keeping the one in Selvadorada as-is. I've visited it a lot at this point but it seems like a realistic place to go on vacation. I often send sims there at least once when they arrive in Selvadorada. They do not go jungle-trekking without first going to the museum.
It's true that more could be done with these. They suggested the ability to have gallery parties and I would like these. Maybe we could get art auctions. We do have flea markets. It's true though that it would be good to have an event that ties into the use of the museums.
I'm adding that I do have several churches but they are downloads that I put on empty lots. I have one small historic chapel on the Windenburg Island for Catholics and old mainline protestants. There's this modern "free" protestant church in Oasis Springs that has a bar and party area. There's also a church in StrangerVille that is like a pioneer style church. I have several clubs that are associated with these churches so they actually seem like they have services and socializing. The "free" church in Oasis Springs is a happening place.
There are other religions in my game but not venues for them, I would add a few other different ones. As we get more worlds and lots, maybe. I do say that certain households are associated with certain churches.
The Villareals, some other households in my game, etc, are Catholic. StrangerVille people go to the church in StrangerVille. The Oasis Springs one has a following but mostly from Oasis Springs with a few others.
