Where do you take sims for dating or family activities to become closer?

I replace all community lots in my game with better versions from the gallery that have a lot more "stuff to do" on them because they use alot of packs. The lots that come in the game itself simply don't, because they never make lots that use more than one pack+the base game.

With all lots in all worlds replaced with better versions, there's no where I do not take my Sims. I go everywhere with them. My favorite places though are parks when the weather is good, because there are so many fun activities for a family there, and pools. That's for families. For dating, generally restaurants, bars, nightclubs and lounges. I have a bowling ally/arcade in my game that is also a really fun date night. It has tons of games, and also a bar for food and drink, and of course, bowling.

But truly, I take my sims everywhere. Even just a afternoon to go grocery shopping is fun, because the grocery store I built in one of my worlds has a bar and cafe inside the store and around back I put a small park with playground equipment for toddlers and kids as well as a basketball court, so when my Sims need groceries I'll bring the whole family along and let the kids and teens play in back while the parents go shopping, and perhaps enjoy a short break at the bar, inside.

Wow! Is your gallery name the same and do you have that grocery store up for download? Also do you need a mod to go grocery shopping in sims4? Eta: i never know where to take groups of Sims, particularly across age groups, because most community spaces and venues are so narrow in focus that it's not family-friendly, and the date spots are so barren and empty.
