{{Era|TSHD|TS2|LS|PS|CS|TS3|TSM|TS4}}[[File:Thesims3-62-1-.jpg|thumb|A park in ''The Sims 3'']]A '''community lot''', as the name suggests, is a public lot which serves as the basis for commercial or recreational purposes, in addition to allowing Sims to meet new faces. The number of visitors may vary between community lots, but can be greater than of the residential type. In general, a community lot can be a great place to acquire friends or foes.

Depending of the [[lot assignment|assignment]] of the lot and/or available objects, it can provide leisure activities and goods for purchase that aren't available anywhere else. Community lots will spawn their own set of [[NPC]]s to tend to certain objects or establishments, such as cashiers for [[cash register]]s and [[hotel]]/[[resort]] for lodging accommodating staff.

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.

Some (commercial only) objects can only be placed on community lots, and likewise some objects can only be placed on [[residential lot]]s. Community lots can be identified if they lack a mailbox, or are replaced with the [[telephone booth]].

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 [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] level will still decay. Babies and [[toddler]]s cannot be brought to community lots, but [[Child#The Sims 2|children]] can, if they are accompanied with 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 come alone.

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.
