Sunset Valley is packed with locations that Sims can visit, use, work at and more! These include Papyrus Memorial Library and the Sunset Institute of Modern Art. Lets look at some others in more detail.
The local hospital is called the Sacred Spleen Memorial Hospital. As well as this being one of the work locations which Sims attend (the medical career kicks things off with the Organ Donor job), they can also attend for other reasons. Pregnant Sims can visit the hospital to have their baby if they choose, and later down the career path, Sims can come here to donate organs! There are apparently several body parts that a Sim can donate, their spleen being one of them!
The dead centre of the neighbourhood (pun intended) is the Pleasant Rest Graveyard. Sims can visit to mourn loved ones and engrave an epitaph on their gravestones. They can visit the mausoleum and even get a part time job here as a grave digger! They can also pull fish from the graveyard pond!
The Wilsonoff Community Theatre is the workplace of Music Career Sims, but they can also visit for a tour of the theatre, to watch a movie, or attend guitar classes. Hogans Deep Fried Diner is a great place to go and eat or drink alone or with other Sims. You can also visit here to join the Culinary Career and attend cooking classes.
Something new to me (and most likely you) is the fact that your Sim can buy into the partnership of these Community Lots. It's costly (around §7,000) but your Sim will then earn an income from that Lot. They can then go on to buy out other partners until they eventually own the business (at a cost of around §20,000). Once you own the company you can rename it, fire the staff if you don't like them and make use of its facilities for free, so free food or books or movies. You can eventually buy up many or all of the properties and have a Monopoly of the town, but given the huge expense this would be something you might aspire to later in Sim life when you have lots of funds and fulfilled many wants.
So that's a huge update on Community Lots. Back soon with a great new topic I've been experimenting with all day!

Pretty neat. I wonder ... is there going to be dating and dates ... and if so, will these locations be the only places the sims can go? Or ... considering this is a base game ... will we perhaps see dating with a later EP? These are rhetorical questions, of course, that don't really need an answer. I guess what I'm getting at is this - are these locations the only locations (besides other houses) that our sims will be able to visit (that aren't "rabbit holes")? Thanks for posting!

Oh, Wow! That's pretty cool how you can monopolize local businesses, and I love the names. Can sims donate their brain to turn free-will off?

After making your family when you are setting up family relations with the family tree thing, are you able to make a sim in the family you have just made related to a sim in another family that you have already made?

Awesome! It seems that they are incorperating quite a few of the TS2 ep.'s main functions into TS3 (i.e. OFB (business), Seasons (gardening)). I'm happy about that because that means EA won't just be waiting to release these options in future ep's. We may FINALLY get away from them just repeating the ideas of the previous versions (i.e. Nightlife v Hotdate, Unleashed v Pets, Vacation v Bon Voyage). Thanks for the update Steve!

If its got aspects of seasons does that mean the weather will change too?!. Seasons and open for business are my favourite EP's

How exactly does the hospital work when it comes to having a baby?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing as -reilly-. I imagine a cut scene though. I'm not complaining in the least; I think this new idea is fantastic!

I hope that you can see your Sims at work/school and see what they do and how they do it plus, their surroundings

Why would you say $7000 is costly. Has the level of pay decreased for sims or is sims 3 money worth less than sims 2 eg Sims 3 $10000 = sims 2 $25000
