Rabbit hole

A rabbit hole is a massive object that works as a community building in The Sims 3 which Sims can visit. The player can not see Sims while they are inside a rabbit hole.

Usually they are lot-sized objects (with exception of the cemetery mausoleum). They can provide either a moodlet or an item for a Sim's inventory, or be a workplace for the Sim.

Rabbit holes dictate the assignment of a lot.

Rabbit holes may be interacted with in a number of ways, depending on the Sim being controlled. Teen and adult Sims can go to rabbit holes in order to get full or part-time jobs. Rabbit holes like the bistro and spa offer Sims services for a set fee. The bookstore and supermarket offer goods for purchase (which are added to the Sim's inventory).

Most rabbit hole buildings used in Sunset Valley, the original neighborhood shipped with the game, are identical to the buildings used in Riverview, with some notable variations:

• The city hall in Riverview is a reduced version of the City Hall in Sunset Valley
• The military base in Sunset Valley is much larger than the one in Riverview, and it has a runway with a space shuttle launching platform
• The science lab in Riverview does not have a dome

There was a rumour they would be removed with the release of The Sims 3: Ambitions, but this has been confirmed untrue. However, this expansion pack is introducing new rabbit hole in the new neighbourhood of Twinbrook, including a new city hall and an as yet-unidentified shop. Twinbrook may include more updated rabbit holes.
