I present to you my first upload to this site: the Midtown Mall.

This location, constructed with all expansions up to Open for Business and no stuff packs, received its inspiration from a real-life mall and was designed to give a realistic mall experience.

The mall has three stories: two full stories plus a ground-level food court/indoor playground and can house a grand total of 31 businesses. Just under half of the stores have been left vacant to allow for individual player customization.

Ground level: Food court (2 restaurants & coffee shop), playground, mini-arcade.
First level: Shops (bookstore, clothing, Game Stop, hair stylist, jewelry, sporting goods), bowling alley, restrooms
Second level: Shops (clothing, florist, Hot Topic, ice cream shop, toys), dance club, restrooms

The rar file includes two files: the lot file and the included custom content. You need both files for the mall to function properly.
