After sending my sims to Selvadorada lately, I am also interested in going back to Granite Falls. But I feel it kind of needs an update. I really like the public lots in Selvadorada and now I'm planning changing 1 or 2 vacation homes into community lots. With seasons an indoor activity sound like something useful. What do you think Granite Fall needs? I'm particularly interested to know why you think a particular community lot might fit here.Right now I'm thinking about a Pub with a bowling alley, dartboard and foosball table, perhaps with a little indoor playground for the kids.I include those options I am considering right now. If you have other suggestions, feel free to share them.

I honestly feel like a spa is a mandatory lot to place in granite falls. Seeing as it's a vacation destination for your Sims to take a break from regular life it just makes sense to have somewhere they can have a pamper day at some point on the trip. I've mostly turned granite falls into my spa getaway with one lot being a massage parlor, another being a yoga studio and another being a pool with hot tubs. I'm considering building a restaurant too but haven't gotten around to it yet.

I'd put a spa in there, with windows out to natural views.

I'd add a nice rustic steakhouse.

I've always found the idea of an outdoor nature spa to be an ideal place to be in Granite Falls; can't really see much of anything else going for it there or it might lose the "nature" aspect of the world.

Funny, I was considering bulldozing the 2 more expensive lots. :)

Ski-lodge, for cross-country skiing. I know, we don't have that in the game, but we can have the lodge! :grin:

Having trouble getting this to post; crossing my fingers it doesn't double-post!

I don’t have Outdoor Adventures, but from the pics I’ve seen (especially since seasons) I think it would be cool to have a rustic bar/pub with a fireplace, set up with an Apres Ski vibe.

It would be fun to have a single world devoted to a vast Simsonian complex or campus for sim scientists, archaeologists, treasure hunters, art restorers, artists, sculptors, et al. to explore.

So far a adding a spa seems to be the most popular option, with a bar being second. You all have good points. Thanks for your comments.

A spa is very useful to escape the everyday routine. I'll try to create one which feels natural enough to be in that world.
I think I'll add a bar or restaurant as well so my sims have 2 places to go indoors if the weather is bad.

I actually have both a spa and a bar in mine. I bulldozed the useless 50x50 forest for the spa and put the bar on one of the 40x30s. Works nicely for me.
