thanks TreyNutz, I really like the idea of a resort tower rabbit hole. It would go perfectly on my small lots. I looked at simsasylum, but couldn't find one. Do you remember which creator it was? I managed to find a package version of one by MistyVG somewhere else, but although I have put it in with my other package mods, it doesn't seem to show up anywhere in the game.
thanks

Hi Sheridan, I don't know where to get the resort Tower RH but Misty's are usually RH rugs. If its the rug you've downloaded it should show up under rugs.

Yes, the rugs are by Misty and I thought she had joined simsasylum and made her RH rugs available there...Looks like only some are on simsalysum. Others are on her personal website.

They show up in the Decor>Rugs section.

Ah Ha! I was looking in 'build' mode, where my other rabbit hole rugs are found. thanks so much. absolutely perfect.

thanks. I am really glad I started this thread - I am thrilled about the RH rug.

Not sure if this will help at all --> More VIP Check Ins at Resorts
The creator's added several different flavours but they do say it made their resort appear more lively, so I immediately thought of this thread. Not sure it'll do what you're looking for but maybe it's a start?

that looks really interesting thanks Missy. there sure seem to be sims staying in that resort. I will give that a try.

thanks

I've played with owning all the IP resorts.

My observation about the presence of other Sims has been that just like with other public lots, when I have at least one active Sim on the lot, then there are other Sims present. If I don't, then there are few to none Sims present. Often the check-in desk, bars, and food stands won't even have Sims attending them until a while after one of my active Sims arrives.

I concur, me too I've noticed the exact same thing, your description of this behavior is very accurate compared with what I've experienced as well

That's unexpected! I've seen those sims use the VIP rooms and occasionally turn in at the resort towers too. I just assumed they were actually checked in.

yep, altho' rarely, me too I've noticed some of the town's sims using the VIP rooms, and as soon as I've switched to that particular sim, using the VIP room, when trying to use that exact same room, was telling me "you need to check in to use the resort facilities" - hence they were using those facilities for free, until I took over manually...

that being said, leads me to believe that the revenue per resort is purely based on the stars level, as such on your investments in the resort, employees, salaries, environment and beautification and such, but has nothing to do in fact with the actual visitors we see enjoying the resort

since this conversation started here, I specifically tested this a bit more, and indeed, the visitors, town's sim and/or tourists out-of-town are there just to provide a "live" look and feel, but it's not related with the revenue of the resort at all... I'm almost sure, we could see just one visitor or 10 visitors, or none for that matter, the revenue would be the same...

'cause with the mods we can easily adjust family funds as we need or want, for me the revenue is not that important anymore, that's why I find it extremely funny when I see it in-game... I literally took over a sim that was in the hot tub, enjoying "bubbles" then tell them to exit and right away to go back into the hot tub, and yep, I need to check-in to use it... it's so funny to me, I can't stop laughing... hehe...
