The Mall

So, I'd like to add pictures now from the mall and how things worked out in live mode. Which concerns an area in the game I never really checked out before. I had a lot of fun with it, I must add though I'm curious how long that will last, if it's not a 'till the novelty wears off' thing.

The first visitors were my sim's plantsim sister Bryony and her family. At 6AM mind you, such enthousiasm. While mom immediately headed to Lady's Fashion, the guys took the elevator to be able to enter the sports shop upstairs (since the door downstairs was still locked, opening at 8AM). Mom didn't have a problem to enter Fashion's because those stores are behind the barrier-to-entry system (thanks for that tip @CravenLestat , when I started building this). Set to respectively just allow males and females, to keep the ITF mannequins strictly the gender as intended.

Sometimes life is simple and just seeing a couple of sims using an elevator you placed, enough to make you ecstatic.

Next time I opened my game the bakery appeared to be very popular. Nobody bought the cakes, created years ago by genie Silas but still very delicious. Absolutely perfect, to be more precise. Sims looked but didn't purchase though.

Lady's Fashion had non buying clients as well.

In the meantime a guy I initially named mister Bald had entered the bakery, apparently determined to make a scene by attacking the poor cashier.

After this I saw him leaving the shop, heading upstairs. Curious what he had in mind, I followed him.

Sometimes life is simple and just seeing a sim using a launderette/laundromat you created for looks, enough to make you ecstatic.

Back in the bakery the dust had settled again.

The launderette got another customer.

Sims really don't like noise do they.

Nothing wrong with doing something useful while waiting for your clothes to get clean.

The only shop that constantly was crowded was the bakery. But the pies stayed untouched. Were all residents on a diet?

And why is Cameron's very married friend Naomi drinking tea with some mysterious, goodlooking stranger!?...

I was a bit worried what would happen to the laundry in the machines, so when I witnessed mr. Bald going upstairs again, I waited expectantly.

Yeah yeah yeah, noisy, I get it.

https://kobayne.weebly.com/uploads/1/7/3/2/17320944/screenshot-478_orig.png

YES!

Sometimes life is simple and just seeing a sim actually sitting down on one of the chairs you put there for exactly that purpose, enough to make you squeak.

Naomi appeared to have left mister Sunglasses to check out some bridal dresses. You're already married, girl!

"So? I like them and I have the money."

18:00 PM, closing time! Everybody out please.

And sure enough, Naomi appeared to have bought the third bridal dress as well :D

If people have malls to share (pictures or files), please do! Actually I remember it was a topic like this that once inspired me to build this one.
