I believe I saw something about this at MTS, but, as I recall, they were more "decorative" items, and not anything that could have an (real) impact on the goal objective.
They are (or were, when last I looked) reportedly functional in the sense that active Sims can use them in the same ways as the original versions. The question is whether they will attract other non-played Sims since they are sitting on residential lots. So, I wouldn't dismiss them with the word decorative, but if they do not function for townies, they aren't the (complete) solution.
Thanks, CheritaChen! I've downloaded them, however someone else asked the creator whether they could be used by non-played Sims autonomously if placed on a residential lot, and so far has not received an answer. Wonder if someone who is a mesher could just make some subtle changes to the exterior of the office building maybe and then that could be used as the "apartment building" rabbit hole Pescado has been talking about? Any ideas?Quote from: J. M. Pescado on 2009 August 20, 15:40:23

So, the idea is it has to be a rabbit hole? Because if you just wanted to create an apartment building, you would not need a mesher, right? I wouldn't want my controlled Sims to live in a rabbit hole, so I assume the idea is just to introduce more Sims you don't play into the neighborhood?
Well, the idea is that while it is probably not the most DESIRABLE place for a sim to live, it is rather difficult to find anything worth buying on 16K.
Pescado, would the unlocked office building rabbit hole work for an apartment building?

I tested one of the residential rabbit holes, and placed the Military Base at such a lot. It worked fine for the residents in the building, but not so fine for the soldiers living off base. They had to "go visit" the house to be able to work or take the mechanical course. Which in the end made me rezone it back to community and move the inhabitants back to the old dorm.
SimmyNik:
I like this lot, I was working on something like this I may just give up and use this. 1st decent community lot I've seen yet.
;D

What? You can place this lot in Riverview.
Rivers End is the only 64x64 lot and it's not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing spot to put this lot, but hey, it works.

I actually liked this idea so much I made my own lot. I have the bookstore, grocery store, theater, spa, Doo Peas, bistro, gym, picnic area, playground and pond. Using this kind of a lot does free up many extra lots in the hood. I have a 2nd lot that is not finished yet that has the hospital, warehouse and diner on it so that frees up 3 more lots in the game. You can find my Central Park lot here:
