IslaRose's Build Showcase - Vampire Stuff!
I figured I'd share my retail/career lots in one thread. I'll keep this first post updated with cover images for all of the lots below, just to save some scrolling :smiley: Vampire Stuff http:...

Sprinkles Bakery!

(Nevermind the hedges, I just used a larger lot for the cover image, and wanted to fill up empty space...)
I wanted to build another bakery, but I was a bit stymied as to how I wanted to decorate it. I find that when I'm in that position, I can usually find some inspiration if I get a bit ridiculous, so .. that's what I did. I wanted to figure out how to do a masnard/French roof without that specific tool in TS4, and then I found a roofing pattern that looked like glitter/sprinkles in the sun (it's a base game roofing pattern/texture). Then I thought it looked like a cupcake... and at that point, the obvious answer was PINK EVERYWHERE. Cornea scalding pink. And now, it's my favorite venue I've made so far. (I also made the venue in black and white later, for personal use, but it doesn't have the same appeal now).

For the sake of the bakery owner that has to spend their days surrounded by bright pinks, I made a small apartment upstairs with a more calming, serene light turquoise color scheme and dark woods. There is a spare room as well, open for further retail space or expanding the apartment/living quarters. The basement, of course, has a full-scale professional bakery kitchen (in white!).

I also love that the glass tables, with the new egg/cup/scoop/whatever seats (I don't know what to call them!) wind up looking like flowers.

The lot I built it on was rather small, so in moving it to larger lots for better images, I had a lot of space to play with, so please disregard my super fun hedge mazes (my motto is now "open space? put a hedge on it!").

This was just a fun image to capture how the roof changes depending on the light/time of day. It's much more sparkly/reflective in game, and I'm a little obsessed with it now.
Also on the gallery, and without any CC or crazy MOO use (I did originally have a supersize cupcake from debug on the roof, and some giant llamas, but then I realized the cupcake would still spoil and no one would be able to get it down, ha). If you use the lot, you may need to use the IGUE cheat to duplicate locked items.
Oh, and I almost forgot! I made over these little ladies to go with the bakery, "Sprinkles Employees".
