When you play Sims 4, you might face limitations. The game restricts venue types to specific worlds (e.g., you can’t add a spa in Willow Creek unless the world allows it). To unlock full flexibility with venue types, you can use the Universal Venue List (UVL). It is a file that contains information about what kinds of lot types are available in a specific world/ region.

Main Features of this Mod

You can easily add any venue to any world, even if it’s not normally supported. - Required for Other Mods
Many mods (like Basemental Drugs) and venue-type add-ons need UVL to work properly. - Custom Lot Support
It helps custom venues (bars, cafes, schools, even illegal club lots) to show up correctly. - Compatibility Friendly
UVL is just a library, so it doesn’t add anything on its own or conflict with most mods.
What is Universal Venue List?
It is a popular mod dependency for The Sims 4 created by Basemental Mods that allows custom lot types and venues made by various creators to work properly across all game worlds. Players use it because it only needs to install one up-to-date venue list rather than separate lists for every single mod.
