I agree - I wasn't too keen on the idea of OFB when it first released. I wasn't bothered about being able to build shops and have sims own and run them. But the fact is, the change to how lots are handled - specifically the fact that sims can own a community lot that other sims can visit - makes a huge contribution to gameplay possibilities. Just as big as the introduction of seasons or dating did with their respective EPs. For me the big transformative EPs were Nightlife, Seasons and OFB - and I guess AL if you play apartments. The others all contributed varied gameplay but those three changed the game significantly.
After not using it much for quite a while at first, over the years I've used that feature more and more and more. All my service type sims (doctors, vicars, funeral directors, (chief) policepersons, (chief) firepersons, school teachers, judges, bank managers, publicans etc. etc.) own lots of some sort. Only the publicans run their lots as a business. But sims visit the other lots ALL THE TIME. I have shops and restaurants and clubs too nowadays.
I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.
