[@scottdavie7057]

A while ago I built (most of) a rec/community center in Kiyomatsu Point (50x50). I got the idea while I was doing the stolen parents scenario and wanted a place they could go for activities and community instead of an empty house, and have a warm shelter if in theory they lost the house. I used the community lot from Eco Lifestyle, and because Shigeru(?) doesn't want it developed, I challenged myself to not move/delete any of the trees, and keep the above ground building minimal. So it's basically all underground with an elevator down (everything except the climbing walls was designed to be wheelchair accessible), and skylights fit between the trees (that are permanently snowed on and dark T_T). I probably spent the most time on putting together a spreadsheet of all the plants, and having a program organize them into seasons (three greenhouses and an above ground garden for winter). It has a gym, yoga room, meditation room, a couple massage rooms. A crafting room, and sell tables where you can donate your crafts or buy others' to help fund the center. Locker/shower room, pool (with a small room on the side for the toddler pool), sauna, hot spring. A community kitchen for cooking classes, but also a place to make your own food using all the produce grown there, and serves the cafeteria. Cafeteria is great for parties, and comes with a stage for musical/acting performances. There's a library/computer lab, with a behind-the-bookshelf room for the owners. Two rec rooms - for kids, and adults. And emergency housing rooms with storage lockers and laundry facilities. There's also a space for strays to stay out of the cold, and the snow jungle gym above ground. At first it was just kind of a branch here, a branch there, sticking skylights and the rooms where they'd fit between the trees, and just connecting them with hallways. I ended up using almost every tile of that lot 'XD

[@kyndalblackwell2003]

Just watching you build this is making me want to build a recreation center of my own with a pool, separate toddler and kids’ playgrounds, basketball courts (both inside and outside) and a designated skill building area for any skill I can think of that would be commonly used/considered useful aside from the required skill building items.

My thing is that I hate how all the big lots are usually already dedicated to something community-based, and are situated dead-center of busy areas. There aren’t enough large residential lots. They don’t have to be 50x50 huge…but maybe 40x40 or even 40x30? 30x30 and 30x20 lots seem so small to me. You end up having to sacrifice either house space or land space.

I have an idea for a Sims challenge that might be fun to try out 🤔 Move into a house, whichever size you want to, but the house is completely empty and you need to furnish it. The rest is kinda like rags to riches, except that you are not allowed the usual tricks of any successful get rich quick schemes, so no painting, digging for treasures, frog breeding, fishing etc. You are only allowed, at the start at least, to earn your money via your job, which you start at lvl 1. Then, you need to furnish your home in a realistic way, meaning, you cannot buy a, f.e. tread mill before you buy the basics (bed, toilet, fridge, oven, shower/bath) and you can buy those in any order you prefer. Next you are allowed to buy things that will help you gain skills you need to lvl up in your job, like a mirror for charisma (you are not allowed to use community lots or other sims' houses to upgrade your skills; if one wants to be more cruel toward your sims, it could be fun to have the additional challenge of not being able to use things like toilets, showers, beds, kitchens (or any free food for that matter) from any other lots than your home) You can eat your meals elsewhere, so long you can pay for them - no stealing from other sims or eating food that other sims make!! Only then you can buy other items like a PC or an easel (and only then you start to earn the money via painting, writing, programming etc). If anyone ends up trying the challenge, I hope you have fun!! 😊

I feel like the "kids/toddlers/infant" space is more like the "daycare" portion of the Rec/Community center, even IRL. A lot of time parents are coming for their own needs and drop their kid off for an hour or two in the daycare space, especially if they don't have classes for the kids that line up with what the adult is there for. My local Y also has an after school space which is unstructured activities for the most part. Kids can get help with homework/do their homework on their own and if they don't have that, the activities for the day are random. Everything from playing on the playscape to obstacle courses and relays out in the field or just tumble time in the "soft gym" indoors if the weather is crummy. The Ys where I live are pretty amazing. I admit that. But for the cost of a family membership, you get access to some amazing stuff if you have kids that would cost triple or quadruple the cost if you had to pay for them independently.
