Show me your Willow Creek!
I have greatly enjoyed the "show me your Oasis Springs" thread and get so much inspiration from seeing all your versions of the worlds. So I figure it's time for another: Show me what you've done ...
Forum Discussion
Once more, this forum gives me too much inspiration!
I thought I was more or less done with Willow Creek when I started this thread, then I got new inspiration and built some more. Then I started the Show me your Magnolia Promenade-thread, and was inspired some more about how to create offices. So of course I had to try. And of course I liked pretending that the work from home careers are actually done in an actual workplace and all of a sudden I need offices for all the work from home careers.
So much building from starting one (well two) threads.
After going to the "office" with my Social media sim, and building several other work places, I thought my Trend Setter needed somewhere to work, and obviously it needs to be above a fashion store, and so suddenly I'm removing the museum in Willow creek to build a mall instead by using the basic shells from base game as a model for how it might look. And here is the result:
I present Manicipal Muses Retail

Now I can't wait to bring Anita and her co-workers to work for the first time!

Spoiler
I wanted it through to the feel of Willow Creek, a bit NOLA inspired thanks to everyone here, and a bit high end, with a lively square with vendors so those tables on the promenade could actually get some use.

The shops obviously feature a clothing store (it had to given the office above), but also a flower shop, a nail salon (with LMS autoemployee-mod both that and the vendors actually work as intended) and a pharmacy for serums and medicine and crystals.

One tough I really like is the kiosk I manage to make. I have used Ravasheens retail mods to add things like fish and produce to the things sold, so that Anita can pick up some food on the way home:

I have built one other grocery store, but there is little reason for my sim to go there other than to buy food, and that means that I just don't. I hope this will be more useful.
Finally, there is the office, complete with a photostudio, dressing room, a table for meeting clients and an office to write blogposts and style guides:
