Line 1:
A '''Community lot''' is a public lot which serves as the basis for commercial or recreational buildings/facilities in a neighborhood, such as shops, parks, etc. These lots often provide important services for a [[neighborhood]], such as selling clothes, groceries, and magazines; and providing gathering places and entertainment. [[Townies]] and playable [[Sim]]s alike often appear on community lots to browse the goods, socialize or just hang around, so community lots are great places for Sims to make friends. Community lots are great places to meet the hard-to-find service Sims as well. Some (commercial only) objects can only be placed on community lots, and likewise some objects can only be placed on [[residential lot|residential lots]].
==[[The Sims]]==
Community lots first appeared in ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]'', and each ''[[The Sims]]'' expansion pack after that introduced a new [[sub-neighborhood]] with its own community lots. In order to visit community lots outside of [[Magic Town]], Sims must call a [[Taxicab|cab]], and may have to pay for the ride. (Magic Town's community lots may be visited by using the [[A Hole in the Ground|Hole in the Ground]].) When Sims visit a community lot, their [[residential lot]] is saved, and will not change until they return home.

==The Sims 2==
Residential lots also become static when a Sim visits a community lot. Sims do not age while on community lots, but their [[aspiration]] level will still decay. Babies and toddlers cannot visit community lots.
===[[The Sims 2: University|University]]===
[[Young adult]] Sims are able to build skills on university community lots. University community lots cannot be visited by Sims in any other age group unless they are invited by a young adult Sim. The semester timer continues to run while a young adult Sim is on a university community lot, but time on the residential lot will still be stopped. However, if a young adult Sim visits a community lot in the base neighborhood or in another sub-neighborhood, the semester timer will pause until he or she returns to the university sub-neighborhood.
===[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]===
Nightlife introduces the ability for Sims to have cars, which they can drive to community lots.
===[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]===
Playable Sims can buy community lots, and establish businesses on them. A lot's owner, and members of their household, can build skills on that lot, though the progress bar will not appear. When you send a lot's owner, or a member of their household, to that lot, you will be able to access their [[inventories]], enter [[Buy Mode]] and [[Build Mode]], and even to save.
===[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage|Bon Voyage]]===
Bon Voyage introduces the ability for Sims to walk to community lots.
===[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]===
Apartment Life allows Sims to visit community lots in a helicopter if they own the helicopter and if there is a helicopter pad on the lot that they want to visit. If the Sim is a witch or warlock, the "Fly to" option appears also. They just take out their brooms and fly there.
===[[The Sims 2: Pets|Pets for Nintendo GameCube]]===
Unlike in the PC version of Pets, in the Nintendo GameCube version, there is only one community lot in the whole game, being the park. The park is a place where you can take your pets to interact with other Sims and their pets, where all the events are held, and also where all the shops are located.
