Which premade lots do you always replace?

Most of them. Some I've replaced with made over versions from the Gallery but the majority I just bulldoze and replace with Gallery lots.

- that ridiculous gym in Windenburg.
- the library in Willow Creek.
- the museum in Willow Creek
- the karaoke bars in San Myshuno.

And all of the pre-existing residential lots.

Literally everything. Im a builder and thats what I do ?

I tend to replace everything in all maps with gallery builds, including apartments in San Myshuno, but never Vlad's mansion in Forgotten Hollow. That mansion is iconic to me, as is Vlad, so it has become taboo to remove either of them.

Everything. Though, for some like the gym in Willow Creek, I kept the bare bones of the building, added a basement, with a pool, suana and hot tubs and massage area. Main floor has the gym equipment and climbing machines from fitness stuff. The top floor is a yoga studio, snack bar and a little playpen for my sims with toddlers. Outside, there's a basketball court, a roller rink and monkey bars for the kids.

The lounge in SM, because of Seasons, I added a roof and walls, but with full glass windows. Put in a dance floor as well.

Mostly the lots in worlds where my sims frequent most. Nearly everything in WC, except for that huge white mansion - it's too beautiful. The rest is so generic looking, I end up replacing it with either a couple builds from the gallery or attempt my own. Keyword here is 'attempt'. Oh, and most of the apartments in San Myshuno and the boring bars in Oasis with a few more adult activities.

I don't know if there's any I ALWAYS replace, cause my games are pretty inconsistent, but there are definitely some that are pretty frequently done away with. Everything in Magnolia Promenade, for instance. That other cafe in Windenberg, the "not the south square" one, I don't even remember what it's called, lol. I usually replace the in game ruins with some cooler looking ones too. That's probably it for the "basically always replaced" ones.

There are others I USUALLY replace, but I'll still sometimes leave them, depending on the type of game I'm playing, so I won't go into listing all of those ones here, lol.

I remodel more than I replace. For example, just adding a door from the lobby into the area with the exercise equipment makes a big difference. I also added an indoor basketball court in the basement next to the pool, and I made room to add a few of the wall-climbers from Fitness Stuff. I kept the Discotheque Pan Europa but I changed The Narwhal Arms into a lounge. Cafes seemed to be broken so I replaced the one on the docks with a seafood restaurant, and the one in Old Town with a karaoke club.

Magnolia Promenade is probably the biggest change because it's my entertainment district. I have another karaoke club there, plus a nightclub, a lounge and a bar.

Willow Creek still has the museum (I have a wedding venue in the basement), but I also has a bowling alley/bar, a diner, and a spa; I moved the library to the Potter Splay lot and used a different lot.

Oasis Springs has anothe bowling alley (though I may replace it with something else), The Solar Flare lounge that I converted to a nightclub, my CelebuSims Gym and a burger joint (basically I took the Hogan's Burger Stand and enclosed it after Seasons was released). I also have a community pool where Johnny Zest's trailer is.

Newcrest has a combination of community lots and housing; another spa, a library, a park, a small community pool and a restaurant (The Breakfast Club from one of LilSimsie's save files). I also have a vet clinic but I may replace that with a house and just go with the clinic in Brindleton Bay since my Sims don't have pets all that often. I also have an indoor play park for when my Sim kids want to play but it's too rainy or snowy.

San Myshuno: I turned The Old Salt House into a bowling alley/lounge, built a restaurant, World's View, on the penthouse lot in the Arts Quarter, and replaced the Stargazer Lounge with a residential penthouse, Uptown Glass, from the library (it was a 1BR olace but I remodeled it to make it a 4BR with lots of cool fun stuff).

I haven't done much with Brindleton Bay other than concentrate most of the commercial area in downtown near the docks -- have a small spa, gym, and library, plus replaced the Salty Dog Saloon with a vegetarian restaurant. Looking for either a nightclub or lounge for the space near the harbor.

Del Sol Valley I converted one of the lounges (Orichid a Go Go) to a karaoke bar, replaced the small park with a clothing store (eventually my Sims will buy it out after they've unlocked all the career outfits) and added a spa and a fancy restaurant, and I moved my Arts and Science Center from Newcrest to the Pinnacles. I moved Judith Ward to a San Myshuno penthouse and aged her to an elder.

I put a restaurant there. I can't imagine downtown DSV without a restaurant. Actually I made the Brown Derby, a legendary restaurant in old L.A. that was popular with celebs.

I was thinking about the Derby myself when wanting to replace the lamer club in Del Sol. It's not a restaurant, as I think I was also channeling Club 54, but I like to think I gave it a good name... Hatville Bowl.

Every single one of them. Gone.
