I don't know why I didn't think of that. Well, I found the pre-NL community lots boring so the ONLY time I went there was when my sim was soooo broke they couldn't afford the $50 food delivery charge or they went to satisfy a public woo-hoo want.
Me too. I had been ignoring the Public woohoo wants of my romance sims. I think they will be able to get more now that they are downtown on dates a lot anyway. :)

It really doesn't take that long to load anymore and you can go straight there without having to go to the neighborhood screen first so it's not really that bad.
Loading times for NL are really rather phenomenal. The mere fact that they no longer have to load up the neighborhood screen, (huzzah!) combined with the breaking up of loading into what it's actually loading (neighborhood, then family/lot) cuts down on the annoyance enough to more than make up for the "new EP" weirdness/aggravation.

The only time I visited a community lot in the home neighborhood since installing NL was check and see if I could buy food at that lot after finding that I couldn't buy food at the NL community lot.
Yeah, the pre-NL community lots aren't the most exciting, at least the Maxis ones anyhow. Since NL we can duplicate lots though so what I did was to temporarily put the NL downtown grocery store in the housing bin, then replace it in downtown, which still leaves a copy of the lot in the bin so then I placed another one in the regular neighborhood and another copy of that lot in the college town. I consider it a chain store. ;) I did modify it a little to use a university cafeteria lady/man instead of just that grill indoors because I thought that was a bit silly. (I have the hack by Christianlov that lets you get the cafteria npc outside of the university neighborhood)

OOoooh! I would love to do that! Where can I get that hack?
Thanks.

There's several files there, but the one you want is called GlobalHacks_OnlytestedinEP1University.zip and the file inside that zip that you want is called christianlovResidentialDormcookBaristaBartender.zip and the file inside that one you want is called twojeffs_christianlov_ResidentialDormCook.package.
I know the file says it's only been tested with University, but I've used it with NL without problems. Also, although it's called residential dorm cook, it will also work on community lots outside the university town.
