I am even more glad to hear that, Joria. This SP will be a wonderful addition to Bridgeport 2.0. Thank you EA, for spoiling us! ;D

A non rabit hole cafe and others? That would be awesome! I've always thought those where only installed after The Sims 4 (whenever that will happen of course).
But how about the spa? And some of the work buildings? I really love the fact of having a nonrabit hole cafe.

Now let's hope EA didn't turn things around, like: 'So you players would like to have a non rabithole cafe, right? Good, but than we will make ALL residential lots rabit holes instead.'

A new non-rabbit hole grocery store would be cool, but sometimes it's just easier to buy it all at once and get out fast. It might take more time if you have to go down all the aisles and go to the register. If it is true, it still would be pretty awesome!  ;D

Oh jeez that would be horrible!  :o

I'm not sure if I'd like a non rabbit hole grocery shop, if it's anything like the real deal, there will be routing issues! I'm a fan of Curtis, although only for his buildings, his updates aren't always reliable.

Yes, I am wondering about that too: how about the routing issues? Probably a lot of objects will be decoration only and I asume you simply click on the cassa to buy your things.
I hope the building can still be owned by a property owner in this game but probably it can be upgraded now to provide more money, just like some buildings like the gym. We will see.

The Sims 2 had a decent set-up for a non-rabbit hole grocery store and I wish EA would bring something like that back again. 

I discovered the following on Sims VIP

♦ There are 3 New Rabbit Holes which were selected via the Community Poll back in December. The 3 new Rabbit holes are:
-School – Par Excellence Preparatory School
- Bistro – Scrumptious Nibbles Café
-Grocery Store – Fresh and Frozen Express Grocer


Sims VIP also has some other useful information regarding this stuff pack.

How did a thread about the new stuff pack turn into a discussion of non-rabbit hole lots?  Let's keep it on topic, please.

I believe because most people were confused that the Stuff Pack would replace some rabbit holes such as the Grocery store with non-rabbit holes. But it's not true, according to the information Mtglady's post, and the Sims VIP link.

It is still on topic Pam. You may have missed it, but Town Life Stuff seems to include non-rabit hole lots. I mean, they will replace the Bistro to something you can follow your sims into. Now I read the same count for the school, and grocery store. ;)

Leto, I think you are still confused.  Those three lots (the grocer, Bistro and school) are still not something you can follow your Sim into.  They are just new designs with new names but are really the three rabbit-hole lots that we have always had. 

The pack will include four pre-built lots (library, gym, laundromat and playground) with new items to update and/or change them to suit your taste.  These are the lots you can follow your Sim into. 

So you can actually change the look and/or feel of your entire town with this SP if you want to.  For instance, if you changed all the community lots in Sunset Valley to these new lots, you could call it Sunnyslope instead ;).

Yes, I know. And I was about to edit my post just when my internet connection got so bad I couldn't even access this forum anymore. But I see what you mean now.

Sigh, just like the rest... EA is really horrible at clothing, in my opinion. The last EP/SP that was good (in the fashion sense) was... Late Night, and it barely scraped by. I just find myself using the standard clothing.
