==Rabbit Holes & Community Lots==
*Rabbit Holes are buildings in which your Sims go inside but you have limited control over what they do and you cannot see inside. Work, Grocery Store, Bookstore, Day Spa, Art Gallery and School are all Rabbit Holes. While at work or school your Sim has the option to choose how much effort they want to put into their day.  See the [[Game Help:Sims 3 Careers|'''Career''']] page for options. Rabbit Holes are placed on Community Lots and are objects that can be purchased in the catalog. Minor details such as Landscaping can be changed outside, however, you can't change the look of the actual building. 
*Community Lots act the same as they did in The Sims 2 & The Sims 1. You can see your Sims, tell them how to behave, who to interact with, and how to interact. The Parks, Gym, Beaches, and Pool are all Community Lots.  Toddlers can visit Community Lots but cannot visit Rabbit Holes.


==Outings to make your Sim happy==
Community Lots and Rabbit Holes also have positive experiences for Sims with certain traits, careers, or skills.
