I have never had a sim actually go grocery shopping because pre-NL the community lots took forever to load so I always had them delievered.
build yourself a small food and clothes shop with 1 checkout till - that will run nice and fast especially if you use the garden for chess, swings or whatever. You'll have a really useful little lot. Sometimes my sims are terminally broke and the 50$ delivery fee is too much! - they take a friend to a community lot, pick up the groceries, play chess until they are friends and meet someone new. (I put one or two on TSR, but they are easy to build.
Hairfish:
I didn't notice this "feature" until I started reading about it. My Sim-hoods are like my town: there's a convenience store on every corner. ;D
ZephyrZodiac:
I tend to use the lots to satisfy the "buy new clothes" and "go swimming" wants for poor sims who can't afford to build a pool! Also, although I have the clothing hack, using it doesn't seem to satisfy the want. (I only bother with these wants if my sims are very low and aren't generating a nice big 2,000+ want!)
Motoki:
I hate those wants. Most of the time by the time the sims gets downtown, the wants reroll and they lose the buy clothes or go swimming etc if you don't lock it, and a lot of times there's a bigger somewhat more long term want I am working on that I already have locked.
It's even worse with NL too because they have so much more stuff to want to do down there once they get out of the car.
ZephyrZodiac:
I'm not keen on them either, and as I said, I only bother if they haven't any big longterm wants just loads of silly ones that can't easily be fulfilled in time to stop them slipping into the red, so in those cases I do lock the clothes, swimming etc. want. And sometimes they roll a new want that can be fulfilled at the community lot!
