City hall

The City Hall is the chief administrative building of neighborhoods in The Sims 3. It's also a main landmark in the towns and was featured in many promotional videos and snapshots for The Sims 3.

Gameplay descriptions

At the city hall, Sims can get a job in the political career, take a charisma class, change their own and their children's names (both first and last), register to be self-employed in a skill career and tour city hall. Sims can WooHoo here but they might get caught by the security and be asked to leave.

City halls generate the following red map tag in-game:

Protests

Protests can often occur outside of City Hall, and the player can direct their Sims to participate, though the player cannot start a protest without the help of mods. Protests have about a 15% of starting, and are more common at the beginning of the game when a Sim or family moves into a new neighborhood. The topic of the protest is displayed on signs held by the protesters; the image shown on the sign is random. Joining a protest gives Sims with the Rebellious trait the 'Fight The Power' moodlet.

Sims can start a protest with the "me too" megaphone if University Life is installed, and they do not need to be at city hall.
