Business Lots must be owned by a playable sim. Once a sim dies that property can be sold back to the city or passed down to a descendant. Community lots, such as parks, can either be owned by the Treasurer or owned by the City. Business lots, such as a clothing store, are owned by whichever sim unlocked that particular lot. Every community and business lot earns 1 CAS sim to be added to the town. Business lots must be played at least once during the owner’s rotation. Business lots cannot be built until after the 1st season. A sim cannot own a second business until they reach Rank 5 in their first business (unless the business is government owned, like a Fire Station, or tax exempt, like the Country Club).
