What lot category do you use for a church?
I just built a cathedral (pic on my blog soon), but I have a problem. I made the lot a Museum, which was a huge mistake because all visitors insist on *view* items on and near the altar. In other w...

Thanks, all! My problem was now solved, but it's still cool reading all those alternative ways of arranging a church lot.
My problem of visitors flocking to the altar area was smaller than I suspected - I had used a cc candle that was programmed to get admired (probably like the hand crafted candles are meant to be). After switching to a different (and older) cc candle, I have not seen a single sim walking up o the altar.
Yes, some sort of fence would made it, but I prefer the open line from the centered path/aisle (sp?) to the altar, not the least at weddings.
I don't quite get how so many play a church only for weddings. I'm not a religious person, and I never played very religious sims either, but I have several churches with assigned priests/caretakers, and they normally have other functionality, too. Like the main cathedral of my state religion, Church of Similius, is actually categorized as a retail store (!) because the wife of the High Priest serves the shop that is always part of the CofS churches. I found that selling wedding bouquets in the church was quite practical :) There is also a herb garden which is base of some products she cooks for sale, and a meditation area. Most churches are also great arenas for (secret) paranormal clubs.
No space for retail at the San Sequoia cathedral, but I don't think the Yacobians are into that sort of business anyway :)
Btw, created clubs for both my religions, it's harder finding good members than I expected though, as Likes/Dislikes and more come into play...
