My New Lot Department of Family Services

I have no clue where TS3 creative corner is, I hope they put it back. If the mods need to move it, so be it, thanks.

I thought about creating this lot a couple of years ago as part of Briah's story

This is a new lot I recently made, partly inspired by the Social Worker career mod at mod the Sims. All of the info is on my blog.
I decided to build this lot as a place of employment for my Sim, Ciara Ford. I was inspired by the Social Care (Social Worker) mod at Mod the Sims.

The Department of Family Services is a state run department designed to meet the needs of the citizens in your town. Maybe your Sims have fallen on hard times and needs government assistance to buy food, pay bills, or find affordable housing. 30 x 30 lot, made it Hidden Springs, can use in any world. The custom content included is in package form, the lot is a Sims 3 Pack.

The services provided:

*Job Listings

*Section 8 & Low Income Housing

*Food Stamps/EBT

*Medical/Dental & Obamacare

*Adult Computer Classes & Resumé Building Workshops

*Arts & Crafts

*College Classes Planning Workshop

*After school childcare & tutoring

*WIC Office (Women, Infant, and Children) Vouchers for specific dietary needs

*Food Pantry/Food Bank

*Psychological and family counseling services

Our social and case workers are here to assist you in signing up for various government benefits that you and your family may qualify for.

I had to correct the painting at the front desk, I re-uploaded the lot

Once your Sim arrives to the Dept of Family Services, they are to take a ticket (decor only) and wait in line to be called up to see an intake specialist. (Some of these pictures were taken before I changed some things around in the office, such as adding more windows)

Depending on the need of your Sim, they may need to see one of the case worker supervisors who can better coordinate the services they may be eligible for.

Upstairs, you’ll find the WIC office &Food Pantry/Food Bank. You first see the intake specialist who will issue your voucher so you can get food from the grocery store. You are welcome to get food from the food pantry as well, even if you do not have WIC.
