Your WEIRDEST source of inspiration
I draw inspiration from just about anywhere when building in this game. You know, the usual, floor plan sites, real life houses, etc. but I've discovered lately that I have found inspiration from some...

I'm terrible with naming things, except Sims and pets. Every now and then I'll hit a good one like my bowling alley I did a while back (Pins & Juice). But it's very few and far between.
Pins & Juice, I like that! :) Another inspiration tool I use sometimes is Pinterest and good 'ol Google. Sometimes I just get stumped trying to think up a name for a venue and try doing a search. For instance, when GTW first came out I made a painter/baker Sim and built an art gallery/bakery for her. It needed a name, so I tried out a couple names; Pleasing Palettes and Valentine Canvas & Cakes. But neither one seemed exactly right.
I looked up 'unique bakery names' online and got back:
Bake My Day
Half Baked
Wild Flour
I liked these, but realized I forgot about the art gallery aspect so I started brainstorming stuff to go with art and food. By looking at the names of the different baked goods Vanessa had made, one dish caught my eye, Alien Tart, and I finally came up with:
Artsy Tartsy
So I guess you could say in this case the weird inspiration was a baked good. lol
