Dagger - there is no restrictions on any of the store venues to date.  Both the Al Fresco Market and the greenhouse seem to be advantageous but as Shirin said, advantageous to one Sim is not the same as advantageous to the family as a whole.  If it were an item that would help everyone get their requirements done faster then it would most likely be banned like the wishing well is.

Any hint as to when we might get some approval on a few of the UL items?  My grannies are boooored and it amuses me to think of them running around tagging Monte Vista.

Are we free to install store venues when they are released? or must we wait until the next expansion comes out?

You may install the store venues when you buy them but only the next time you play the game.  If you play your dynasty and forget to place the venue then you've lost your chance.

Same as when you have a new expansion - you're allowed to use Edit town to place the lots as soon as you get the expansion and play the game.  If you play your dynasty file after you install the expansion and forget to place the lots that came with that expansion.  You can't place them at a later date.  It's a one time only deal.  You either need them or you don't.  Which is why we told people to wait to play their dynasty files until we'd had a chance to look at the expansion.   If you got University Life and have played your dynasty, you've lost the ability to place any buildings we may approve.  Having placed buildings before we approved them is a loss of HOF.

We haven't approved any UL content at this time.  There is no ETA and it will happen when it happens.  It won't take us a month but we can't magically snap our fingers and there is a lot of ground to cover.

Sorry that wasn't the question I meant to ask. I meant are there any buildings for UL that can actually be placed in the regular neighborhood?

My answer doesn't change.   The game doesn't prompt you to place buildings if that's what you're asking.

From what I understand, any of the UL buildings are placeable, but won't offer the class options like in UL. Those buildings will act as rabbitholes in which your sims can tour/tour with.../take various classes.

Mind you, I haven't tried it out myself.

Right and placement of any buildings need to be approved before you can do it was my point.  As far as dynasties are concerned, no lots are placeable until we say to.  Like the nectary and academy before, no one placed them until we said you could.

I actually didn't even know that we could place the nectary and the academy.

Have you read the Edit Town post at all?    It's linked in the rules.   http://www.carls-sims-3-guide.com/forum/index.php/topic,1810.msg254051.html#msg254051

Yes I have read that post, but I didn't realize you could take lots from the WA worlds and bring them into the regular neighborhood.

We generally allow any EA made lot to be placed.  Nectary and Academy are EA made lots.  There is no advantage really as the game likes to delete all the grape plants from the nectary and you can't do a tournament outside of China.

I think the biggest advantage there is getting the board breaker and karate dummy before going to china as well as the nectar maker.
