Turn the shared areas of your Residential Rentals into community lots or improve community lots by adding new features related to another lot type.
Translations: English, French and Spanish. If you want other languages to be included, you can find the list of strings here for all my mods and send it back to me, I will try and include them at the next update.
Last Update: 12/06/24 - Added the Relaxing Spa trait (in a separate file) and adjusted some filters. Be sure to extract the .zip archive ;)
Next Project: I'm currently working on making cash registers functional outside retail lots, with the ability to choose what type of stuff should be bought there!

🪅 Multi-Purpose Lot Traits
This mod is designed to help you build multi-purpose lots, using lot challenges that add functionalities related to different lot types, including staffing NPC at designed hours and visitors using the amenities related to the lot type. It can be used in two different ways:
In Community Lots, it helps designing multi-purpose lots. You can add a café in a park, add functional food stands in a bar or any combination you like.
In Residential Rentals, it allows using the shared spaces as a community lot. You can design a bar or a café in those spaces, and visitors will include your neighbors and other visiting sims.
List of traits and features:
🍵 Brewed Delights: the lot functions as a café (if there's an Espresso Bar) or a Thrift Shop (if there's a Bubble Tea stand). It's open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
🍕 Meals on the Go: the lot automatically hires stall vendors (up to 2 stalls) and/or a cafeteria server (using University's Cafeteria Station) for lunch and dinner.
🍸 Drinking Spot: the lot functions as a bar (if there is a bar in the shared spaces). This also includes karaoke if a machine is present. It's open from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m.
🧩 Fun Zone: the lot automatically brings in children and teenagers to enjoy the on-site facilities (outdoor or indoor games) from 10am (weekends)/5pm (weekdays) to 9pm.
🏥 Care Facility: this lot takes car of its tenants by offering them all the comforts they need on a daily basis: a catering services (using University's Cafeteria Station), care and visits from the loved ones.
🙌 Curious Visitors: the lot automatically brings in people to enjoy the on-site facilities from 9am to 9pm, and automatically hires stall vendors (up to 2 stalls) for lunch and dinner.
🌺 Relaxing Spa: the lot functions as a spa (if there is a massage chair or a massage table in the shared spaces). Visitors will use the spa amenities present in the shared spaces. It's open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. This trait is included in a separate file that you can remove if you don't have the Spa Day pack.
The traits are located under lot challenges. You need to assign the lot challenge to every unit in Residential Rentals (at least the one you are playing)
Those traits work on Residential Rentals and Community Lots. I had to modify all autonomies so that visitors only use objects in the shared areas.
When used in Residential Rentals, among visitors, neighbors living on the same lot are used to populate the shared areas, in addition to the other tasks they normally perform.
If the lot trait Private Dwelling is used, only NPCs will be included, and visitors will be limited to Sims from other units. I use this feature, for example, to have a bar in my hotel!
In the current configuration, I favor played sims for visitor groups (not for single visitors). I'll have to see how I adapt this, as it's the most relevant in my way of playing, but I could change this setting.
A Janitor NPC is included except for the Fun Zone, to clean up any leftover glasses and plates at the end of service. I wasn't able to limit them to the shared areas entirely, so they may also clean your active family's home.
Required: For Rent, Get to Work, Get Together, University, High School Years. + Spa Day for the Relaxing Spa addon. For the mod to work, you need to download Injection Tools from BrainBlasted updated by Andirz by which you can find here.
List of altered tunings : I tried to limit myself, and in the future I plan to use the Lot 51 Core Library for most of them, but it seems at the moment the injection of static commodities doesn't work that well :
eat_to_clean_from_sit: to make visitors' dirty plates and glasses disappear like on a community lot - otherwise your lots would be a mess after 1 day! It doesn't work 100%, but it helps. As a side effect, this effect also applies to your sims if you have the lot trait, which means less dishes!
bubbleTeaCounter_PushOrderDrink_Autonomous & bubbleTeaCounter_PushOrderFood_Autonomous: to add the static commodity that makes visitors route to them when they are spawned on the lot. I doubt other mods affect those, so it should be ok!
autonomousSimPicker_MassageChair_GetFootMassage & autonomousSimPicker_MassageChair_GetHandMassage: to remove the restrictions related to the lot type for autonomous behavior.
