Lunar Lakes Sharing Thread- *Updated 10/11/12*

This is a fully functional dome park, play tested and working well. I called it Memories of Home, because it is a combined lot of primarily Sunset Valley and HS, but a little Barnacle Bay is represented there, too.

Please note: I took the pics before I play tested. And I discovered EA's pretty little bridge does not work right. A sim can cross if directed to cross the actual bridge, but will not cross if given a directive to do something on the other side, like play chess. This is not acceptable to me, so I removed the platform they had on the bridge. My bridge may now be more plain looking, but it works. And I'll take function over form in this game, every time. I don't appreciate routing issues. Also, fish are in the pics, but I removed the spawners before I uploaded, so you'll have to add your own fish spawners, and butterflies, too.

I have added what I consider park essentials, shown in the pics below.

Firepit (If you place bird spawners, make sure they do not overlap the firepit, because the firepit will not make chairs if a spawner overlaps)

Full garden, both base game and wine-making grapes--also a water feature for birds, if you choose to add a bird spawner

Flowering trees and real green grass, for ambiance (memories may fade, but the grass in them shouldn't)

Chess

Barbecue and table with chairs--also, a money tree (I have a green default replacement in my game, so if you don't then this tree will show up with the orange and white money leaves)

Art easel (I like the wrought iron, and if you don't have that one, I think it will default to the wood one--but you'll need to change the color to match the other wood in the dome)

All fruiting trees, not just apple, if you have expansions

Care provided for wild animals and the homeless

Understated wood tones for a natural look

Because I combined domes, I have a lot open for other things. The pic below is only for reference. It is NOT included and I will NOT be uploading this lot. However, I will tell you what I did to make it look this way. I bulldozed the dome lot, entirely, and placed a 64x64 lot. I covered up the green outside the lot boundary with rocks and trees/shrubs. Then I carefully painted the lot in a way that was not so obvious, and looks a bit like the way the hills are painted, to cover the green dome paint. I added the lake and island, and landscaped.

I'm not sure if I will make this lot a showtime venue, or if I will turn it into a house. But no matter what I do, it will be much more fun than another dome I don't need in the game.
