Where do you take your Sims (except Newcrest)

Sulani, best place to visit, worst place to live

I wait until a festival and go to it from the popup. Or I wait for someone to invite my Sims to a party and join THAT from a popup.

If I'm going on a date though, I always go to Rattlesnake Juice in Oasis Springs. There are benches outside, and you can complete all the date goals without even going inside. Get gold dates a few times and BOOM, done, they have a relationship and I can get back to the fun things, like holidays and festivals.

I rarely used to take my sims out, but I'm starting to use clubs to help with that.
I get them together and they travel all the worlds.
My sim has a family club and a teenage club. Makes it more interesting.

I tend to use Clubs a lot; Get Together is actually an essential pack for me thanks more to the Club functionality than the (absolutely excellent) world that came with it or the DJ system which i barely use at all. Especially since you can turn most things into club activities so you can have an all-ghost club that just go to random libraries and haunt things and scare other sims. For example.

To explore the jungle.

BTW - what is the shortcut key for travel mode?

My sim is a busy stay at home parent to a clingy toddler, so he doesn't have much time to go out, but he does like to get of the house when he can. I tend to use Newcrest for venues simply because I have nowhere else to put them, but my sim travels to most worlds. His family currently live in Brindleton Bay, but like to go on family days out to the beach in Sulani or holidays to Granite Falls. He sometimes goes to Selvadorada for family/couple holidays and to study archaeology. He also goes on dates with his partner at restaurants, bars, lounges, museums and parks, and they sometimes go to the festivals in San Myshuno. He sometimes visits the spa with a friend when their partners are home to watch the children or they take their toddlers to the park on play dates. My sim is also the leader of the Avant Gardes and meets at their café hangout in Windenberg for club gatherings. He will be spending a lot of time in Britechester soon too when he becomes a student and later Magnolia Promenade when he buys a retail store there to start his new career as a freelancer/business owner.

My sims go all over.
Since I realized that my play style has me currently never playing more than three households in a single world, and I'm gradually marrying the premades into my households and freeing up their lots, the larger neighborhoods are filling up with more and more community lots. Forgotten Hollow doesn't have any, and Glimmerbrook only has the bar, and Evergreen Harbor is a little full with all the community spaces so it really only has the one bar that sims would visit, and I don't own Britechester yet, but pretty much everywhere else has at least 4-5 lots divided among the various lot types.
Most of my clubs have an "any (lot type x)" as a hangout so that for example the Powerhouse club visits all my different gyms rather than being tied to just one.

I have an Arts Center I built in, you guessed it, Newcrest. :) (Though in a few saves I've moved it to Del Sol Valley because the views from the hills are spectacular; I've had some of my favorite proposals there.) I have pretty much all the skill-building items there; computers, observatories, art studio, crafting stations (woodworking, pumpkin carving, candlemaking), chess tables, a rocket ship, etc. I also have a kids' playroom with puppet theater, science table, toys, Don't Wake The Llama, etc. I'll take the whole family there so they can all work on skills and I don't have to clutter up the house or try to fit in items that don't fit, and since they're all on the same lot it's easy to switch from one Sim to the next. Mom might be in the observatory working on Logic, while Dad's working on the rocket ship, the teen is developing their painting, and the kids are giving puppet shows while the toddlers watch.

I also send my painters out to different places once they reach the level to Paint from Reference and have enough money for the Digitalistic Sketchpad. Reminds me that I want to send my current Sim to Glimmerbrook to paint the gateway to the Magic Realm, then maybe go through to sketch some of the scenery, and Try for Baby with one of the spellcasters to see if she can get a spellcaster baby...

Question - do your Sims do these activities on their own, or do you have to set them up to do them?

Best Gym: My reno of the gym in the finance district, or my reno of Lilsimsies reno of the gym in Windenburg. Best bar / fun place? The Pan Europa Nightclub or Lilsimsies reno of the karaoke club in the spice district.

my sims usually go to the park, pools, or bars and clubs. sometimes i switch it up and go somewhere else but those are my main go to places depending on who all is going. kids and familes are more likely to go to the park or something.
