How to Make a Community Lot in Sims 2: Nightlife
A community lot in the "Sims 2" series of computer games is a city-owned property that allows any Sim resident to visit and utilize its services. Creating a community lot in the "Sims 2: Nightlife" expansion offers the user a choice of new locations, access to restricted items (not available for residential lots), and new group-oriented activities.

Tips & Warnings
If you are aiming to maximize the amount of time Sim residents will spend on a community lot, you should consider a Sim's basic needs when you are placing objects. Sim residents that do not have access to restrooms, for example, will leave when their "Bladder" meter decreases; similarly, Sims that do have access to "fun" activities will leave after a short visit to the lot. The "Sims 2: Nightlife" expansion offers a number of group-oriented items designed for the community lot (owing to their large size) that can keep Sim residents entertained.
