Over the past years the Sims has been around there have been concepts that Maxis & EA have gotten right and instances they got it very, very wrong. So this post is about examples of things I would lo...
Sims 5 Suggestions Continued - Section 10 - Neighborhoods & Community Lots
I would love to have sub-categories of lots to help identify what kind of lot it is or influence its patrons in the Lot Panel. For example Retail-Florist Shop vs Retail Candy Shop vs Retail - Grocery Store. Or Restaurant-Indian vs Restaurant-German. Bar-Night Club vs Bar-Pool Hall.
All Purchasable Community Lots Should have selections in the Lot Information
Name of Business
Community Lot Type & Sub-Type ex: Restaurant - French
Address
Hours of Operation
Owners
Lot Traits - 2 to 3
Lot Challenges - 2 to 3
I hope lots can be moved as long as they snap to roads
I'd love to snap another lot to the edge of an existing lot as long as there is room for things like farms to attach fields of crops or a manor house with a huge garden. Or as with the Equestrian Center having the building be on one lot and the adjoining exhibition field where the jumping obstacles can be placed or a racing ring
I want service lots too like Tattoo parlors and Hair Salons as well as Spas and Restaurants. But I want them to be ownable, open, and to be able to set employees either by hire or from ones own family
If you have a Get Famous/Superstar style Pack - I think you should definitely have a big world for it. I would make it a combination of the Hollywood Hills for a few famous Celebrities to live and a section of town that looks like Superstar's Studio Town with soundstages set up for different productions like a Western, a Sci-fi movie and a Soap Opera. A spot for modeling shoots. A concert stage. Then I'd add at least one really cool looking Night Club, A Movie Theatre thats like the Chinese Theatre and the walk of fame, A Hollywood Forever Cemetery facsimile. A fancy Beach, High End retail shopping center with spots to fit one clothing, perfumer and a jewelry store. Then add an (or leave room for) an upscale restaurant and a Spa. Bring back Lana the Production Coordinator. Limit Paparazzi to this neighborhood because they are annoying.
I'd really like an NPC tour guide and Curator for Museums
Museums should come in different types.
Museum - Art
Museum - Archeological - Ex: Egyptian, Classical, Meso-American,
Museum - Natural History
Museum - Oceanographic & Maritime
Museum - Science & Technology
I want bar bouncers in this game too. They were fabulous in Sims 3
It would be so great if there are cars there are the parking lots or spaces for them in the community. I'd really love a Lover's Lane spot
Car Wash Rabbit Hole would be fabulous and teenagers can work there as a part time job
I'd also like a mechanic shop because if we have cars we should have car trouble
List of Non-Rabbit Hole Businesses and Community Lots I'd like to be able to have in Sims 5 - Special note. I dislike Retail lots that aren't specific as to what kind of retail store they are.
