The Sims 4boasts one of the best building systems in any simulation game, so it should be no surprise that the community has come up with some very unique lot designs over the years. Even without any expansions installed, people have designed builds weird and wonderful that stand out among the rest of the EA Gallery.

There is an option inThe Sims 4to create custom content that anybody can install separately – some builds do require these assets to be installed to work correctly. Players should make sure to check the requirements for any build they download to make sure it is compatible with both their game version and custom content.
10Club Las Vegas
Club Las Vegasis a finely-detailed build featuring vibrant colors outside and a roomy interior perfect for dancing.

The build is under the Nightclub lot type and requires no custom assets to function properly. In-game, it costs around 289,414 Simoleons.
9The Bazaar
The Bazaaris an intricate masterpiece of mansion-building inThe Sims 4. There aremany mansions inThe Sims4– no-one can deny it’s fun to build an interactive dollhouse, after all. But some mansions shine above the rest, and The Bazaar’s three levels, beautiful architecture, and sprawling grounds certainly set it apart.
The Bazaar is under the Retail lot type, requires no community content, and is 40x30 in size. The high price of 309,941 Simoleons won’t get the Sims a bathroom, though!
8Ancient Ruins Coffee Shop
TheAncient Ruins Coffee Shopis listed as a Generic lot type, but it’s anything but generic. The stone walls are carved just like ancient ruins, it features a comfy medieval-style interior, and it works as a retail space despite being a generic lot type.
