More Than Just A Lot

As shown in the picture below, sims seldom use off-lot objects even if they haven't nothing to do inside the lot, and they're in a club whose unique activity is to use an off-lot object.



This mod adds o lot trait that solves that problem. So, you will see sims autonomously using objects outside the lot they are visiting if this mod's lot trait is active in this lot. As you can see below, almost nobody stays idle in the empty lot when this mod is active. They found off-lot objects to use.




When there are objects inside the lot, sims can choose to use them as well as off-lot ones. Both options have the same weight, but the lot type and club rules can affect the choice. For example, the library influences sims to read or play chess, so will you not see most of them using off-lot objects unless they're bookshelves or chess tables. On the other hand, if a sim is visiting the library and gathering a club that recommends using the playground, they will frequently use off-lot playgrounds (when they are available).



As shown below, you can find the "Lot Trait" linked to this mod in the Lot Challenges menu. Actually, it isn't a Lot Challenge. But, as you can choose how many lot challenges you want, it makes more sense to put it in this category. So, it doesn't use the limited 3 spaces for lot traits.



By default, all sims may use off-lot objects when this lot trait is active. But, as shown below, you can forbid employees, sims gathering in a Club, sim with a generic role, or sims without a generic role to use them. If you don't know, sims with generic role can use any object when visiting a lot. Sims with a specific role (as playing chess or reading) only use objects linked to it. In general, both kinds of sims visit a community lot.
