@debjameswhite - Hooray for your first update! The Lighthouse is the perfect for Brindleton bay. I love Toby!!! What an adorable name. I had a hard time coming up with pet names. He looks so sad though :( Maybe it's connected to one of his traits? Like Jenn said when they're upset you can ask them what's wrong, and my animals keep getting randomly spooked by different objects in the house, could be that. I wish the Vet career counted as a real career too, but I am having SO much fun with it. I love that Matias is the one who's a vet in your game. I wonder if Matias was looking at the waves by the beach? omg a pregnancy in the first update! Risky woohoo I suspect. At least it's Rayen who's expecting the triplets and not Naomi lol
@OJenn - omg Sadie is so so so cute! I love getting to see all the different dog breeds in everyone's updates. I'm definitely gonna have to get a Sadie in the near future ;) I love the picture of little her watching Carl play chess. The pictures of your simself with her are perfect too. I'm in love. I'm seriously getting attached to everyone's pixel furbabies. I really hope they have long lifespans.
@Rawla - The kids aged up nicely, they look a lot more alike now that they're kids. Aw lol poor single Mr.Cat :joy:
My town feels so empty and lonely after bulldozing everything. So I've been trying to reno the community lots that came with Brindleton bay. I loved the Salty Paws Saloon, and thought it had really great bones, so I started there. It's now a restaurant, The Seafood Shack! I use restaurants more then any other community lot, and this pier location was too good to pass up.

There's outdoor seating, and a bar that looks into the chef station.

Inside the nautical theme continues. I love the furniture that came with this pack.

All the paintings and rugs are perfect for the theme.

I get a bit of a Cracker Barrel vibe from this pic. I think it's the fireplace lol

Of course Naomi had to go and test it out. She approves, and more importantly everything seems to run smoothly.

When she was leaving for the night I got this shot which I think really captures the beauty of Brindleton bay. I am completely in love with this town and pack. It's easily my favorite EP for ts4. :heart:

I had already bulldozed my neighborhood before I read that some of us would be leaving the original lots for awhile. I wish I would've waited too, because I rushed to make this little Vet clinic for Naomi. I'm happy with how it turned out though.

Inspired by my Vet, it has a dog entrance.

The reception area is pretty lackluster so I'm gonna redo it.

The exam room, aka where Naomi spends 90% of her time. (I wish she could bring her own animals to work to hangout)

And the surgery room.

That's it for now. I hope everyone's having a great weekend. It's football Sunday and my Cowboys are playing so I'm gonna sim for a few hours before watching the game. Happy Simming!
