Which lots spawn vendors for (food) stalls?

Parks you have to hire the vendors, I know that much - unless they are on the offlot parts. Might depend on the stall, but I always add the drink stall to my park, and I always have to hire the vendor.

That is a very good question, and according to my web research there is only one lot type with food stall vendors: the market place variant of the Eco Living community space.

Any variant of it spawns food stall vendor in my game.

There's a food stall not on but near one of my lots where one of my families lives. I often see the vendor run past their house on his way to his stall. This is in Newcrest, funnily enough.

This is correct! Any of the 4 Subtypes will spawn up to 2 stall vendors, included in this is the Boba Tea Counter and the University Buffet vendor, if you want to set up a "cafe" or something like that.

In my Willow Creek, I have a separate simple park with no vendors but I also have a large Center Park that is actually the Community Center. Because it's in its own "neighborhood" (Magnolia Park has no adjoining properties), it can never be any other kind of lot subtype--not a Community Garden, Marketplace, or Maker Space. However, it still triggers all the same behaviors as both a park AND a community center AND any subtypes---kids show up to play in the playground, the marketplace tables fill up, two food stalls get vendors, and people fish and garden.

From all I know, only the Community Space and its subtypes (Community Garden, Market, Maker Space).

I want to build a community lot where my sims can go shopping. I don't want a retail store but a community lot with the stalls that sell produce and ingredients. The stalls I want to add are the grocery stall from cottage living , the fish stall from cats and dogs and the produce stall from city living. Maybe also a stall from realm of magic. The reason why I want to use stalls is because I want my sims to able to buy ingredients like milk and flour.

I Is there any lot type that will automatically spawn vendors for these stalls?

Another thing--I think even the Community Space and all 3 of its lot subtypes will NOT spawn the Cottage Living stalls. Correct me if I'm wrong but I am obsessed with these lot types and I haven't ever been able to get them to spawn.

What will spawn vendors: almost any other market stall, including the Fish of the Day from Cats and Dogs, the debug produce stall from City Living, and the Florist from MWS.

I remember someone said they did spawn, just not nearly every time. Not in my game tho, and I overuse the EL lot type. No voting in mine, all are sort of "all in one" versions.

@KestrelDC is talking about stalls in neighborhood terrain (not on a lot) which do always spawn vendors.

I have had trouble getting vendors to spawn in community spaces when there are already stalls with vendors in the neighborhood terrain. I'm not sure if it runs up against the total sim count allowed in the area at one time, or if there's a cap on total vendors at one time, or what. This was in San Myshuno.

I don't know if this is relevant to thread but I did found out that the mod Auto Employees from LittleMsSam can spawn vendors on lots with food stalls.
