I have not dealt much with these types of buildings in my towns and I'm running into an issue now that I want to do this!
Generally I like whatever the base game gives us for rabbit holes so I never bothered with them.
I usually just place or build houses and the open community places like arcades or dance clubs that I can build myself. But apparently rabbit holes are very different! But I don't really understand this because I have built a graveyard in the past and placed a Mausoleum and never had issues. So why can't create a new lot and place the the Gypsy Wagon or a different theater or hospital?!

I wanted to add the Gypsy Wagon to Riverview so that one of my sims can have the fortune teller career. But I keep getting a message that for the lot to behave correctly I need to remove the building! I tried several different settings from making it a park to no visitors allowed and I still get that message! Am I not able to do rabbit holes and replace bookstores or schools with a different building? Just so everyone knows I did I Google this problem and found Carl's Guide, but it talks about putting them in a basement with stairs and such, but I don't want to hide those buildings I want them to be visible! Is this not possible? And if not, then why give me community buildings in Edit Town!?

I ignore that message and the lots I build with rabbit holes work just fine.

It's a generic message letting you know that the rabbithole will change certain aspects of how the lot will function. It can be safely ignored.

Thanks to you both. I was wondering since I tried that and it seemed like people were still able to go to the wagon and get their fortunes. I needed to be sure I wasn't screwing something up. LOL.

BTW does anyone know what the building "Thomas School of Art" does in the game? It looks a bit like it's from the campus and says it's a "school of art," but will it work as anything in if placed in a regular town?

That's the art school rabbit hole from University. If you have homeworld university setup properly it will be used, otherwise not.

Thanks. I don't have homeworld uni.

One last question about all this; Is there any way to remove part of a duo rabbit hole? I wanted one of the more attractive schools in Riverview, I think it's one from the Monte Cristo...I mean Vista world, but it has the Stadium attached and I'd like to just use it as just a school if that is possible?

No but you do get the advantage of saving some space so once you put the combo-rabbit down you can get rid of the other stadium. But make sure you place the combo-rabbit down first before removing the school and stadium so your sims don't need to be reassigned. Also do a Save As then exit to the desktop and reload so the game reads the new rabbithole properly.
