Read Maxon's post again, she explains how to do it. Trying to find it at
MTS2 is too much trouble.

It works really well - I've created a nice English pub with bedrooms, a
hotel and several refectories (that's cafeterias to our American friends,
apparently) on campus using residential lot objects. If the lot is going to
be one that your sims live in (i.e. a dorm or home lot), you always need to
start with a residential lot because the game generates a mailbox and
dustbin (trash can) when the lot is placed. If you don't have a mailbox on
a residential lot, you will get the repo man even if the bills can't be
delivered.

Best wishes

BIG THANKS... these worked splendidly, would be great if more of these and
similar objects/packages were better organized without having to search and
sort through thousands of posts, cus if they were easier to find i would
have found them WEEKS ago before i even asked on here...
