Players may build on community lots for free. Neighborhood children and pets will only appear on Old Town community lots, and will always appear along with their entire family.

Children can travel to Magic Town on their own if they use A Hole in the Ground. Children can only travel to community lots on Vacation Island and Old Town if they go with their entire family. These objects are usually located within the lot's boundaries, and can be moved around the lot by the player.Įxcept for Vacation Island lots and family members on Downtown lots, non-controllable Sims on The Sims community lots cannot be interacted with until they are either greeted, or autonomously interact with a controllable Sim.īabies cannot visit community lots, and Sims will not be able to visit a community lot if that would leave a baby alone in the house.
