INTJ... Apparently

Or, if someone wanted to stick all the rabbit holes on a lot where it doesn't interfere with anything to free up space for worthwhile buildings.

I can't imagine how anyone would need this. Maybe a lack of imagination is the problem!  I can imagine using at least some of those, definitely. While I actually do like many of the rabbit hole buildings, seeing them over and over again gets very tiresome. I can see myself using these inside of other buildings that I have built to my specifications. Thanks for posting about them! |

Now You Can Go Inside Stores: Finally! I hated sending my Sims off to shop and having to stare at the outsides of buildings for forever like I was playing a real-time strategy game and waiting for the battle to end. Naturally, the game also lets you build your own stores and fill it with whatever kind of junk you want to sell. im prone to not belive this. Why bother making them rabbit holes, only to make them not-so in the first expansion 5 months later? It whould be more efficient just to unlock them from the beggining... And if this is true...im sure its like OFB. Plot down plants and sculptures, maybe a small tv... and mark it for sale. Sims come and buy them, then their inventories are spammed with 25 Tvs and 67 Potted plants. But if they need groceries or books they still need to go to the black hole that is Devisarado Books (or whatever its called) EDIT: Sidonzo at the sims 3 forum posted his idea, which makes way more sence and is probly what the original interpretaion meant.: I have a feeling that what this reviewer is talking about is not opening up the grocery and bookstore rabbit holes, but new shops in the new destinations where you can buy souvenirs and things. So if this information is true what it probably means is that we can make little curio shops now, not that the grocery and bookstore will be playable THIS is what i am sure is gonna happen.. objects that only apear when you enter the special....code thing...to unlock tomb building... it will also unclock special sellable items that you can set up and sims will buy. Another point againt all rabbit holes opening is all the existing rabbit holes are also jobs...so what will happen to the sims that work there? Either disapear and become invisable..or EA will have to actualy make animations and stuff for there jobs...which i KNOW isnt gonna happen. I also hear Kataku or whatever...the site that posted that info..isnt to reliable..so.. |

I am also skeptical, but if it's true, it wouldn't be the first time EA has had to turn tales and run in a feature they put into a Sims game. Many people hate the rabbit holes. Or perhaps EA had plans of making non-rabbit hole lots all along and decided they'd make a great selling feature for an expansion pack. It wouldn't be the first time that kind of thing has happened, either. |

Registration only? Blah. I'd like them, because I like customizing how my town looks, but I don't want to register.

Rabbit Holes are not going away, they are merely adding the ability to have non-rabbithole-based stores as well. Of course, with finite lotspace, that is not necessarily great. As for why RabbitHoles, well, that's simple: Their PRIMARY function is as a career. Haven't you noticed how every rabbithole hosts a career? Since making your sims VISIBLY at work is purposeless and computationally expensive, rabbitholes exist for that purpose. |

I must concur on the "Registration" bit, I have enough jun kmail as it is. Is this uploaded elseware? Also, is it worth it? I can certainly see the benefits of having them. |

Also, Tents are coming that let your Sims be truly homeless: Now You Can Be a Real Hobo! The game introduces tents that you can pitch in tombs - or in public parks - and actually gain Energy from sleeping in. Oh, the possibilities. They still aren't homeless. Sims who are present/available in town need a home-lot. And you can already pretend to play homeless Sims by letting them sleep on benches; it's more "appropriate" than tents too. |

Experiments with that have indicated that it is certainly possible to armtwist the game into accepting true homelessness, though.

Really? How? I guess giving a household an invalid lot id would be to simple. And even if an household is truly homeless, they still won't act like homeless bums when uncontrolled. Seems kinda pointless to me. |

Thanks for the download, Gelina.
Anyone try the signs yet? Do they work well for creating custom career buildings?

I put all of the signs on a lot last night and demolished the rabbit holes they replaced. I did not build any buildings for the sims to go inside of yet. The signs work just fine. The only problem I had is that my sims in the family I was playing would not go to school anymore. I haven't tested the school with a new family.

The site added another 5 signs, now covering all the rabbit holes. They have also added smaller versions of the diner sign.
I have tested some of them, and successfully built new custom buildings for diner, bistro and food store. It's a little tricky to place the signs so they are not blocked, easiest is to play test extensively while building. But other than that they work great. Twallans custom careers stick to them, and work fine.

I haven't tried it yet, but from the screenshots on the site it appears that, yes, you build whatever you want, and then strategically place one of the signs to designate the building as a particular rabbit hole.

What the hell was jared_smithson's wall of text?  Anyway, I tried to use the signs. Happily abolished the City Hall for a smaller town hall. I discovered that the "entry point" spawns in different places, but it's always beside the sign. So you can make a sign, have its entry point not behind it (but not directly behind the sign), and then place a door (like in the screenshot at the site) beside it. What happens is that the sims will enter the door before disappearing. Neat.  |

Yeah thats what you can do. Build a house around it. I placed the bistro sign so it appears as they vanish when they enter the door of the Inn. Works great. They either eat "inside" (invisible) or get the food and then sit down either inside or outside - makes the place look like a restaurant . I have a foosball-game inside and a bar, and sims flock there, then eat in the bistro when they get hungry. |

I downloaded the community lot only versions of these earlier off MTS, but I can't seem to find them anywhere now. (As I just found a residential purpose for them of course) MTS is showing that Mel has no downloads whatsoever and has 8 recent downloads at the same time. I'm not sure what is up with that, but none of those downloads listed are these now.
Just wanted to let anyone know in case they were lost in trying to find these from the MTS link.
