Shoppingcenter 7000

The shopping mall of a Sim's dreams. A safely indoor, weatherproof, and centralised point of gravity for whatever a Sim may wish for. Designed to not rely on too many expansion packs other than those needed for shopping, to save town space by making various existing lots feasible to delete, and is also a quick way to add features to neighbourhoods that weren't designed with them in mind (e.g. Riverview, Starlight Shores, etc.).

Since the previous uploads of malls by others on ModTheSims did not seem to me at a surface glance to rely on rabbitholes, I decided to fill that niche by making a lot that does rely on them.

The lot is 60x60, but can very quickly be adapted to fit 64x64 by simply extending the outdoor pavements.

Install Instructions

Quick Guide:

1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file.
2. Select the .sims3pack file you got from extracting.
3. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
5. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Select the house icon, find the lot in the list, and tick the box next to it. Then press the Install button below the list.
6. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the lot to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
7. Run the game, and find your lot in Edit Town, in the premade lots bin.

Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.

For additional shopping joy, I personally recommend the following links' mods to extend the grocery store and book store item selections.

If you have Late Night installed, NPCs can access the rooftop park with this mod that allows them to use subway stations.
