@soocoolsim ok where do I begin? OMG!!!!!!!! You really have outdone yourself as always, but this is beyond the sim holy grail! This is by far the best ever shopping mall I have ever seen, and there have been plenty gracing the exchange for years. The details in each area and shop are totally incredible Paula, and I think the one surprise that made me smile big, was those simple back doors leading to a loading dock with truck backed in and all, I was like whoa she thought of everything down to the last detail! One question though, it says cinema on the 1st floor and all I can see is like an entrance waiting type area on the right back corner, so is it that darkened area where you have placed the rabbithole by chance?
I so wanna get this is game to see up close and discover all your hidden secrets, but I have to wait for my ITF disc to come in so I can install all my games again with the 1.67 patch as my game stopped working due to the last update.....grrrrrrrrrrrrr EA! But just going through all these pics has me drooling to see everything in game play. I think the bakery/tea shop is going to be my absolute fave spot though, just thinking about my sim family enjoying a day out shopping and then resting with some tea and pastries (wishing I were the sim lol). The Japanese retaurant looks divine, I can imagine having a quiet dinner out after a busy day of shopping. And that food court is spectacular, loving the 50's style tables and chairs. Fastfood never looks so good until they merge into a smorgesborg of tasty treats, it's so hard to choose what to eat, maybe a little of each lol. And the 50's strikes again moving on into a scrumtious icecream parlor, that cotton candy looks good enough to eat. You seem to have chosen the perfect color schemes for each section, amazing work.
Onto the 2nd floor, I am especially in love with the outdoor/sporting goods and the flower shop, you really used lot of thought in the process to end up with the results that you did. The dress shop looks very ha-tee-da upper class for sure, quality out does quantity on every turn. That toy store will have simmies for miles around lined up to get their hands on everything within. Furniture butique and wine shop are very inviting, I can see simmies purchasing and drinking the spirits and going back to the furniture shop to relax and sober up some lol.
Onto the 3rd floor...., love how you combined the gym to get sweaty, the tattoo parlor to come out happily in agony, and the spa to recooperate and finally the petshop to make it all worth while! I mean after getting shot full of holes on your chosen body part, working yourself into a oblivion of sweat and pain, and then getting a massage and mudbath, you will need a soft furry pet to cuddle. ;) Awesome idea to put the electronics on the same floor as security, shoplifters beware! Our klepto sims and career thieves will think twice trying to pilfer goods in this mall! Last but not least, that parking garage is so amazingly realistic, excellent job!
I honestly can't say enough about this build Paula, you are simply one of the most creative builders I know and I am so over the moon happy that you took my request. Thank you ever so much from the depths of my heart. I will be back once I get my game installed ;)
