A '''community lot''' is a public lot which serves as the basis for commercial, recreational, and social purposes. Depending on the available objects on{{Vgversion|TS1}}{{Vgversion|TS2}} or [[lot assignment|assignment]] of the lot,{{Vgversion|TS3}}{{Vgversion|TS4}} community lots may contain goods and services that are not usually available elsewhere. Community lots will spawn their own set of [[NPC]]s to tend to certain objects or establishments, such as cashiers for [[cash register]]s; dining hosts, servers, and chefs for [[restaurant]]s; and DJs for [[DJ booth]]s. Some objects can only be placed on community lots, usually commercial objects such as [[food stand]]s. Community lots do not contain [[mailbox]]es, and can be distinguished from residential lots in this manner.

==The Sims 2==
As in ''The Sims'', residential lots become static when a Sim visits a community lot. Sims do not age while on community lots, but their [[
Any Sim [[teen]] or older can visit community lots. [[Baby|Babies]] and [[toddler]]s cannot visit community lots, but [[Child#The Sims 2|children]] can if they are accompanied by older household members. If a child is taken to a community lot, neighborhood children may appear with one or both of their parents, while [[townie]] children will come alone. NPC children will not appear if the currently active [[household]] did not bring a child along with them to the community lot.
Much like ''The Sims'', all community lots have at least one [[phone|telephone booth]] and garbage bin. By default, these are located outside of the lot's boundaries and cannot be moved without the use of the [[moveobjects]] cheat. However, additional phone booths and garbage bins may be purchased from [[buy mode]] and placed anywhere on the lot. Sims cannot build skills on community lots, but can build [[Fitness (attribute)|fitness]]. However, there is a [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,11216.0.html mod] that allows Sims to build skill on community lots.▼

Travel to community lots is not instantaneous, and the game clock will reflect this. Since time stops on a Sim's residential lot while he or she is visiting community lots, this is primarily for "color", and has no real effect on gameplay. Sims must leave community lots using the same method of transport they used to get there. For example, if a Sim called a [[taxi|cab]] to get to the lot, they must call a cab in order to leave the lot, and cannot use a [[car]] or [[walking|walk]] to get off the lot. Likewise, a Sim who walks to a community lot must walk off the lot, and cannot call a cab to leave.
Certain NPCs may only be or are primarily found on community lots. ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' introduced [[Mrs. CrumpleBottom]], a prudish old lady who appears on [[Downtown (The Sims 2)|Downtown]] lots and reprimands Sims for performing romantic interactions in public. ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage|Bon Voyage]]'' introduced the [[Unsavory Charlatan]], a pickpocket that may appear on any community lot at random
Until ''Apartment Life'', non-controllable Sims on community lots did not need to be greeted before being able to interact with them. Starting with ''Apartment Life'', Sims on community lots need to be greeted before other social interactions become available, much like ''The Sims''. Sims may also autonomously attempt to greet Sims they have not greeted yet.

===Lot assignments===
{{Main|Lot assignment}}
There are several classes of community lots, largely determined by [[lot assignment]]s. Upon release, the game determined these classifications according to the objects on the lot, but a patch altered this.{{which}} They are now set either in the [[Create a World]] tool or from a drop down menu in edit town mode.

Other community lot types have specific functions and visitors, and they each usually have a set of required objects that must be placed before they become functional. For example, a [[lounge]] requires a [[musical instrument]] for NPC [[entertainer]]s to play and a [[park]] requires playground equipment. Sims can travel to almost any lot through their [[Telephone|phones]], or if the player exits to the [[Manage Worlds]] screen. Most venues can be edited in [[Build mode (The Sims 4)|build mode]] at any time. Some lots, however, such as [[Profession|active career]] workplaces, can only be accessed by working in said careers and edited through using the "bb.enablefreebuild" [[cheat]].
Aside from residential lots, there are a few [[business]] lots that Sims can
==The Sims Medieval==
In ''The Sims Medieval'', community lots are generally owned by [[Hero Sims]] and partially function as residential lots. Owned lots have a section that is meant to be open to the public, and a section that is meant to be used as private living quarters. The structure of lots cannot be changed, as they exist in [[shell]]s, but they can be furnished.
There are
