Lilsimsie had a redesigned school in her video. I'm hoping she uploads it to the Gallery because everything seemed to flow much better. The cafeteria was a separate room. The entire school was a bit smaller and students didn't seem to walk so much to get anywhere.

might be only lilsimsie build id ever add in my game :lol: actually seems more fun than the original lot
although gym and woodworking being on second floor is just so very wrong on every human level so i would change that

as for lot sizes I actually like small lots much better than bigger ones
so that to me is plus if i were to get this pack

there is enough huge lots for mansions in other worlds
and I still haven't filled even half of them

also like there isn't really objects in game to put for ridiculously large lots
it always ends up hundred toilet fest

I like the look of it, but I would end up totally redoing it. It's the same reason you mentioned, who puts the gym and the shop classroom on the second floor? Ok, lilsimsie did, but other than her, who would do that? There is some logic to it, it gives the students exercise getting to P.E. class.

On the flip side, the next school board meeting would be stormed by parents who are furious because they have to walk up stairs to go watch their kid's game. Worse still in their minds, they'd be so worn out by the effort they wouldn't have any energy left to yell obscenities at the coaches and referees and other parents who's stupid kid should have passed the ball to my kid and we would have won the game!

I noticed Ash used y'all in her segment on high school years. This is giving me Smokey Mountain vibes. The mountains with a lake for swimming and boating are so familiar. The park is reminiscent of many areas in the National Park and many state parks as well. The pier gives off the tourist trap vibe of small towns that are gateways into the Smokies. The bubble tea thrift store would not be out of place in Boone, NC. And of course, the mining brings to mind the back stories of Dolly Parton and Loretta Lynn, though it would have been coal instead of copper.

Probably it is supposed to be reminiscent of many places, but I love being able to find elements of my region there.

I may place a bowling alley/skating rink on that empty lot. I'm also planning on moving my adult married couple there. Right now they live in Glenbrook.

I made a pool lot for that empty 20x20 and I'll swap it in winter for an ice skating rink. I made a fun zone for the 20x15 lot in the town square that has the teen hangout lot trait. On the upstairs level is a bowling alley, main level has karaoke and an arcade, and in the basement is a roller skating rink. I can't wait for my teens to hang out there with their new school friends:)

This world is too small. :s
I am going to have to bulldoze the library to put in a bowling alley.
Why they didn't put in another sub-hood is beyond me, especially since this is the only world with a high school.


Never mind.
The way the area is designed, a bowling alley would look odd in that particular location.
If my sims want to bowl, they will have to leave Copperdale.

Can it be possible that for once we did not get a new bar? :D

Well i mean the boba place is kinda like bar just that the drinks are boba instead

To me the pier feels really out of place with the rest of the world, I have to say.

The pier is something you'd find in a major coastal city. Meanwhile the rest of the world is like rural Colorado or something.

I wish I could pick up the pier and put it in San Myshuno or Del Sol Valley, and then have Copperdale a rural pineywoods Western tryin-not-to-be-ghost-town not too far from Moonwood Mill.
