Shaymantha's showcase

Your Thankyou gift build for 20 followers is a very lovely outdoors arena/party park! :) The design, layout,and furnishings are very nice! Very great red curtained music stage with very nice side dressing room areas! The clothes and shoes racks, and beauty items are great for sims to use when preparing to perform, Sims musicians will enjoy perforning and playing the piano and the guitars. The star, cat musician and neon signs on the wall look great! Very nice glass roof side areas bar and stools counters! Sims will enjoy sitting on the stools having drinks from the bar. The neon bar signs and drinks are very nice on the walls, Lovely dining tables and chairs area to watch performances and also have drinks from bar. The griill and picnic tables area is very nice! Sims will enjoy meals in the outside air at the tables that they have cooked on the grill. The flowers on the patio edges are very pretty!
Very lovely exterior design and layout of the castle! :) The arch windows are very nice. The surrounding fencing area with towers on the corners is great! The moat, the bridge with knights statues and the balcony are very nice!

My S3 band would have loved to perform in your park! Love the castle as well! Then again, who doesn't love a huge castle! :)

2 more really great builds! :)

@Shaymantha lol, glad your not the only one that has noticed no drums in 4. :/

@Shaymantha OMG! A pirate band lol. :o Now that is hot! B)

Was gonna say, I don't think 4 has bands either. Unless the ability to form a band came out in a later pack. I'm not sure as I haven't bought a pack in ages. As popular as bands were in 3, hard to believe they wouldn't put it in 4. Then again, where are my doorbells? :/

@Shaymantha Ya, it really sux that you can't start a band. :/ Closest they come is in Get Together with a club, but it still isn't even close to being able to go do gigs at awesome venues. Think I'm gonna cry. :'(

And let's not forget...what's a band without the drummer? :o The drummer is the focal point of the band for crying out loud! :o

I was gonna say something, but I forgot either due to dementia or the "few" drinks that I've had tonight. :o Anyway, this whole drummer thing reminds me of a summer in the 90's when a lot of classic rock bands were touring and I was able to attend a lot of their concerts.

The best concert I had the pleasure of seeing that summer was performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd. I actually consider them to be country rock, but that's besides the point. The stage was dark and out comes...the lead singer? NO. The lead guitarist? NO. The bass guitarist? NO The guy on keyboards? NO. The backup singers? NO.

The DRUMMER came out and when he started playing the drums they lit up and the crowd went wild. Then the band members came out one at a time and joined him in jamming down. The lead singer was the last one to come out and then it was one jam after another the whole night long. Hands down the best concert I attended that summer! :) Of course, Free Bird is my all time favorite song. A 15 minute rendition of Free Bird as the last song they played as an encore went a long ways in determining my favorite concert that summer. :)

Sorry, I didn't mean for this to be such a long comment, but I wanted to emphasis how important a drummer is to music! EA really let me down when they didn't put the drummer skill in 4. What a travesty! :/

@Shaymantha Getting this thread back on track, I visited your gallery. I'm really jealous! Your builds and your sims are really awesome! Really impressive to someone like me who has no artistic talent whatsoever! Keep up the awesome work! :)

@Shaymantha Big mistake complimenting my storytelling ability. :o Now I'm just gonna have to tell you another story. :p Hopefully, to get your day off to a great start with a big smile. :)

That castle you posted looks so rad! I love how you did the roofs! Great job. The color scheme is nice too!

My first ever sim in TS3 was named Hannah Montez. She was a Hispanic bootleg version of the Disney channel original character (I was young, and I made bad decisions ok?!?). I made her to be a rock-pop star. She only ever performed one concert. Sadly, I grew tired of her after cheating her into owning the Lone Wolff Manor. She would have loved this stage. I miss her sometimes.

Ahh yes "Castle Shell" :joy: I really like the looks of this one. It's a very nice late French medieval castle. It looks authentic and the bridge crossing the moat is a nice touch. I love the guard knights by the threshold. I remember when it was just a smol boi, look how much it's grown now :cry:


Lovely work @Shaymantha! Keep up the good work! :)
