I've been working on this Wedding Venue in Newcrest the last few days. It took a lot of work but the details that went into it was well worth it.
"The Wedding Place" is beautiful inside and out.
There's an indoor venue and an outside one as well. So, no matter the weather the wedding can go on as planned. There's a small kitchen in back to cook up a feast and wedding cake. A wishing well garden and two woohoo bushes plus a shower and dresser for planning the right outfits.
I'm going to add some at some point when I'm not quite so swamped. I had an issue where using the gallery caused an error code so I actually haven't looked at the gallery itself for absolutely ages. But I'm going to be checking it out again. I've sent a picture of your cat building to all my friends!! The more you look at it, the more details you see.

@simsplayer818 Thank you for that wonderful comment about my creations. I just want my Sims to be comfortable and enjoy their surroundings when I take the to places.
I've seen a lot of beautiful creations on the gallery but some don't build for the Sims to use them, there for looks only.
I hate it when the sim raises their hand and waves at you with an x through the request because they can't get to where they need to be.
I'm pretty good at making sure that doesn't happen in my builds. But occasionally, I miss something and have to go back in and fix it.
This is a build I did yesterday. It's a little honeymoon cottage for henford-on-bagley on the small 20x15 lot in the village.
Has a gym, spa, pool, sauna in the basement. There's 6 different woohoo spots, so the couple has choices.
It can be used as a rental or residential, it would be great for either one.

This is a restaurant, The Squat & Gobble, I made for granite falls. When I've went on vacation I wanted to eat out not stay in and cook like I did everyday at home. So, that's why I like restaurants in my vacation worlds too.
This fits in with the surrounding forest and is quite functional.
- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@Busmover50 What lovely ideas! These are some I hadn't even thought of!

This was my weekend project. A lighthouse restaurant and wedding venue.
I enlarged one of the galleon replica and placed it in the water to look like a ship stuck on rocks and another shipwreck.
It's a beautiful build for Sapphire Shores in Sulani I just realized I misspelled Saffire. Whatever, close enough. LOL

This is my newest creation. It's a sunken gardens style Asian restaurant for Mt. Komorebi.
The restaurant is underwater with glass walls. The surrounding water has fish, ducks & swans and an underwater garden with statues.
There's a custom menu and uniforms for the staff. I also included a wedding venue along with a make out bush and showers.

This is an Italian restaurant I created the beginning of the week.
A romantic beautiful place with custom menu and uniforms.
No wedding venue but there is room to add one if one wanted to do it.

@Busmover50 Your Italian and Asian food/restaurants are lovely! They are so creative and interesting... and both would be lovely atmosphere's to dine in! 🙌❤️

@SheriGR Thanks! I appreciate the comments. I wish they made the Asian dining sets compatible with dine out dlc. But the restaurant requirements doesn't recognize them as dining spots.
That's something I believe programers neglected to address, which they should've!
It's still a good game regardless.

@Busmover50 I agree... I enjoy the Dine Out pack and making/running restaurants! Interesting... I never noticed that. I know they have some Asian dishes that you can choose to be served/on the menu when you make a restaurant, but it's been a while since I made a new restaurant. I'm not sure I am interpreting your meaning correctly - when you say that the game's not compatible with Asian dining sets, what do you mean by that? Is it something that came with the Snowy Escape pack (such as the low table(s)?
- 3 years ago
@SheriGR What I mean is if you put those Asian dining sets down and then go there to eat, clicking on the table won't bring up the request table option so your sim can be seated at the table. So you don't have the options you do with a regular dining tables in the restaurant.
- SheriGR3 years agoHero
@Busmover50 That's unfortunate. I just did an experiment, and I removed all of the dining tables and dining chairs for one of my restaurants until it registered as "0" in the seating requirement. Then I added an Asian style dining tables (low table) - which comes by default with seating for four (see first screenshot). The game did not acknowledge these four places to sit and dine as seating for the restaurant!
It looks like it's because you don't use chairs for low tables. I say this because I then tried to add s different dining table and as soon as I added a couple of dining chairs to the table the restaurant saw those as seating. However, if I placed two more dining chairs near the table but not snapped into place at the table, the game did not see those as seating for the restaurant:
I wonder if that is an oversight. If you want, you could post a thread mentioning this fact, or even see if it is accepted as a bug report? You're welcome to use the screenshots I took. - 3 years ago
@SheriGR Thanks for checking that out. I'll do that. It would be nice if they could fix that so we could have an authentic Asian restaurant using the correct seating sets.

I was going to report that bug until I saw all the stuff they want to know. It's to much for me to want to tackle. Sorry.
- SheriGR3 years agoHero
@Busmover50 I can put it up, that's fine. There is a good chance it will be moved to general information as feedback/a suggestion, but either way it will be up. 🙌
Edit: I put it up as a bug report since I did not find a bug report on this, but unfortunately I didn't also see this topic outside of bug reports... As you can see in this link this is a 'by design' feature, and not an oversight. Sorry for not seeing that sooner.

The interior of my previous version of, The hare & Hedgehog, was flawed. I found this out when I went there for a date and the date wanted to carry on a four romantic relationship with the neighboring tables.
I quickly cancel that date and went in for a redesign.
It now has semi-private dining to help block unwanted conversations.
There's also a bar and wedding room upstairs. And let's not forget the make out bush along the side of the building. There's proper signage out to detour unwanted peepers.
It has a custom menu, all of the experimental dishes with a mix of regular foods too.
I made custom uniforms with hats and masks.
I like my serving staff in hats cause it's easy to pick them out and it gives the place a theme.
All in all it's quite the transformation from the dinky lil' cafe that once sat there.

This is more of a simple edit than anything I would consider a full creation, so I hope it's okay to post this here.
I recently noticed that while at The Solar Flare, inactive sims were glitching when it comes to using the stairs to leave. After reading a bug report from someone saying that it was happening to their played sims, I tested it for myself and sure enough my active sims were also glitching when using the Go Home interaction (which I rarely use that interaction). So I decided to remove the need for stairs altogether, and shift the main floor down to ground level.
I started by deleting everything on the ground level except the regal planters. Next I simply copied each room of the main floor, and put them down on ground level. I then turned everything in a 180 degree rotation, that way the little deck area that's normally in the back of the place could now serve as the entryway. I took the little entertainer area with the microphone and instruments and moved them to the spot where the stairs used to be, and added a door in the back (though no one seems to use it lol). I also slightly expanded what is now my entryway, and took that piece of wall with the sign on the roof and put it on top of the entryway. I've added a couple decorations to the front, but yeah decorating isn't really my thing so it's probably staying as is lol.
I've tried to include some screenshots, so hopefully things work well though if not I'll just edit this. The first should be the view from the front, the second the view from the back, and finally an overhead (and sideways) view of the interior. I didn't really change much about the interior other than moving the entertainer area and making what is now my entryway larger, so I didn't include any other interior shots.
I also realized as I was proof reading that I didn't properly show the exterior with the walls all the way up, so now I need to redo those exterior shots lol.
