@Elanorbreton, I like that chapel with cemetery attached and everything. Is it set up for weddings inside too? (I'm just being nosy).

The whole downtown has a a great look, imo. Reminds me of places I grew up. I'd visit there.

Yes, it is set up for weddings inside. It has the long aisle from MWS with rows of church benches and a party basement.

@Simmingal The two brownstones are beautiful, and I really like how the house at Sage Estates gives me vibes of an old converted fire station with that tower.

tbh maybe thats why its looking so off to me :lol: I was going off debug house but the dimensions were all kinda wonky

food for thought though maybe i shall have firestation... or firestation inspired club where firefighters can dance all they want hmm... i mean its not like i can have my sims be firefighters so :lol: and accidental fires have become so rare that they'll have plenty time for clubbing

A few exterior updates and the floor plan is done.

Exterior update: Created a wraparound front porch and deleted the porch in back.

@DaniRose2143 Nice! Looks like you're building an entire building, (Yeah, building a building, heh!), to be complete in one go.

In my experience, building is a mix of having Sims live in it, or go to it for a non-residential, then keep building it to their actions. Of course with a basic plan and idea in my mind.

Keep working on that. Looks interesting. I would love to d/l it from the gallery when you've finished it enough to release it. :smiley:

@Admiral8Q Thank you! I'm into the hardest part, trying to decorate without using any cc. So far the only cc is the purple paint. I could use lots of cc, but I set myself a challenge and I'm sticking with it, other than that one item.

Awesome! I have challenged myself to use only certain stuff. My main one is what I based from "A Series of Unfortunate Events" I used only Base-Game and Vampires.

I have less 'gloomy' builds. Heh!

I have an entire save for building in which I turn off cc where I build to make it all maxis. Then I add it to whatever save I'm actively playing and add cc as I please. I like to keep the base cc-less and then I can change it when I play. That way if I lose or remove a lot of cc in the future the house won't be rendered useless. It also forces you to work with what there is more.

I like that, I never would have thought of it. but I like it. It's been a challenge but it's been fun. It hasn't been easy, all that cc sitting there that would look so perfect. But after @Admiral8Q mentioned wanting to download it, I'm really committed to the cc free approach. I may still upload with the purple cc siding, but I can always list that in the description. There isn't enough space to list cc if I built like I normally do.? Depending on how late I am getting home from work I'd like to finish it tonight. We'll see, but if not tonight, then tomorrow.

And thank you for starting this thread, it has been inspirational.

@JAL @Simmingal I found something else we need, bathroom sinks that are not built into stands or cabinets. Let us choose the counters we want in our sims bathrooms and which sinks to put in there. Free the sinks! Free the sinks! #freethesinks

I did some decorating in the downstairs bathroom before work and had one bathroom sink that I was forced to use because I wanted counters in the bathroom.

@DaniRose2143 Thank to all of you who are answering, it IS inspirational. I love the ideas and the new knowledge I get from these threads so I'm definitely benefitting too.

And yes! More sinks please! And sinks that are of various styles. On the counters, in the counters, without a counter, tiled, mosaics, marble, glass, stone... There are far too few sinks overall in the game overall since it does so much to a bathroom I would wish they'd add more. Speaking of sinks, how often can a sink break? I think sims need sturdier sinks as well.
