SHARE YOUR FOR RENT BUILDS!
Hellooooo Simmers! Later than usual on account of me having had the flu all week but IT IS TIME TO FINALLY BUILD OUR OWN APARTMENTS. And I for one have been craving this for a VERY long time lmao. Anyway, I'm once again super super excited to see what y'all are gonna build. Perhaps even more so than usual coz I love dropping my sims in apartments so I'm sure imma be downloading some of your stuff! So I do hope to see all your beautiful builds again starting TODAY. In the meantime, feel free to browse the awesome things simmers have made for Horse Ranch, Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Island Living, and Discover University. Or look at some renovated apartments here (that last one being more relevant than ever :love:). HAPPY For Rent Day everyone, and happy building :blush: https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/eacom/SIMS/common/ts4-for-rent-media-hero-tile-16x9-02.jpg.adapt.crop16x9.1455w.jpgShare your Cottage Living Builds!
Since I'm afraid I might run out of time again if I don't post this now, but I do always SO enjoy looking at your builds in these threads, here it is, as for previous EPs (and one I'm extremely excited about): the Cottage Living build thread! Let me start off by saying that I am SO HYPED for this pack. Almost feels like Seasons to me. I can't wait to buy llamas, cows and chickens, live on a laaarge farm with my cats and dogs, in the beautiful countryside. I can't wait for GROCERIES. Yes, groceries. I am a boring simmer. I LOVE not being able to cook anything unless I have some ingredients. It's gonna be so lit! Now, I know the EP hasn't been released yet but there are already plenty of cottages online, and hey: we wouldn't be simmers if we hadn't been mentally preparing for this pack for weeks (some even for years lol). So feel free to drop your cottages below, even before the pack releses. I'd love to see them <3 In the meantime, feel free to browse the awesome things simmers have made for Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Island Living, and Discover University. Or look at some renovated apartments here. Happy Cottage Living, everyone! (so hyped lol) https://i.imgur.com/6RWeC6I.png
retail lot ideas?
What are some of your favorite retail lot types from your own game? I've been thinking about putting a retail lot in the new world, and I've been trying to decide what I might want to do with it this time around. I think I've used the retail system fairly creatively, but I'm always interested in hearing what other people do with the system. Here are some of the things I've done in the past: Art galleries: several worlds. I have an art gallery in Magnolia Promenade, but I also like to add them to worlds my sims regularly use for vacations. For example, one of my all-time favorite lots is an "artists colony" on the most gorgeous waterfront lot at the top of the map in Sulani. It is technically a retail lot, owned by one of my local sims, who sells her local landscapes there. However, it also has bungalows on stilts over the water, a yoga area, lounge chairs, easels on the beach and dock, etc. So some of my sims come there to buy art, and others come to take an unofficial vacation and create their own art. Book stores: Mortimer Goth owns a bookstore in Magnolia Promenade, where he sells books written by my other sims. Bakeries: I have a couple of bakeries, in Windenburg and Newcrest. Takeaway shop: a small shop in Henford that sells grocery items and precooked meals. Department stores: I have Worthington's Department Store in Magnolia Promenade; it is owned by my in-game Worthington family (canonical rivals to the Landgraabs). It sells clothes, appliances, and furniture, and has a beauty salon and photo studio. Camping store: one of my outdoorsy sims sold camping equipment, herbalism creations, and handcarved rustic furniture. However, he has now temporarily closed up shop to be a stay at home dad. Potions and magical paraphernalia. Still working on this one, to replace the bar in Glimmerbrook. Not retail, but related: I have a thrift shop/boba bar with a roller rink in San Myshuno. I also want to put a small law firm in Magnolia Springs, where my lawyer can go when she works from home, but I have not been able to decide which lot type would be the best fit.Share Your Horse Ranch Builds!
Weee another EP is on the way, and while I do have some things to criticize, I can't lie about the fact that I've been wanting to have horses in my game for quite some time and - to me personally - this world looks way better to live in than the one that came with CL :sweat_smile: But ANYWAY this isn't about my opinions, I'm more so excited to see everyone's new farms and horse ranch builds! So I do hope y'all don't mind sharing your beautiful builds again starting tomorrow. In the meantime, feel free to browse the awesome things simmers have made for Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Island Living, and Discover University. Or look at some renovated apartments here. Happy Horse Ranch day, everyone! https://media.contentapi.ea.com/content/dam/eacom/SIMS/common/ts4-official-screens-01-002-16x9.png.adapt.1456w.pngShare your Eco Lifestyle Builds!
Hey simmers, as for previous EPs, here's the Eco Lifestyle build thread! I know the EP will only come out in 2 and a bit hours at the earliest, but a) I can't focus on work (at all) and b) I'm just really, really excited to see what you'll all come up with this time, especially in terms of ecological buildings (green roofs, vertical garden spaces), container homes and trashy places (finally!!!) - so before I forget to put it up when I'm lost in the pack, here's one of my fav threads to do <3 Of course, you can once again share builds you found on the gallery! Happy Eco Lifestyle Day, everyone!!!
