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.

If The Sims 3: Ambitions is installed, the player can join the Architectural Designer profession at the city hall.

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.
