Another Apartment Lot!

THE SIMS 2 - Wine Counters

Local restaurant

Hello there!

I finished most of my city so now I can post more of my buildings. Today I present you restaurant on the corner which I imagine as a high-end romantic restaurant. It has a big kitchen, a pantry and a lot of tables. Also I added nursing table so it's a family-friendly restaurant.

Let me know what you think.

Pleasantview's Retirement Home

I'm building again!

I have more elders in my gameplay and I thought that for some of them I could find a new place where they could not be alone. That's why I've built a retirement home.

It has a garden where elders can sit and enjoy weather, prepare bbq or work in garden.

On the ground floor there is a reception, toilets, big living room, big dining room with place to dance, kitchen, sauna and massage and workout room.

On the first floor there are 6 rooms. I thought I will have two rooms with double beds and other rooms with one so 8 sims can live there but in the middle of the furnishing I decided to create only single rooms. All of them have private bathrooms.

The reception has desk, some clutter, sofa and computer.

I didn't have a place to make photos of toilets but those are simple appliances, nothing spectacular.

The dining room has a big table where all sims can have meals together. I placed the bar and stereo system in case if sims will have a party.

The kitchen is simple with a lot of appliances. I see now that one counter changed place, I will fix it later.

The living room has a huge library, pool table, mahjong table, piano and easel so sims won't be bored with the same activity.

I even placed an Xbox. I thought that when our generation will be in retirement home, there will have to be some kind of console haha.

Glass corridors lead to all bedrooms.

The sample bedroom has a bed, a nightstand, desk, built-in wardrobe, armchair and small tv. Sometimes you need privacy and watch beloved soap opera just by yourself.

The bathrooms are simple: shower, toilet, sink, mirror and towels.

If sims want some fresh air, they can sit on the bench outside or do some gardening.

Sometimes they will need some relax, that's why they have sauna and next door, room for massage and fitness.

I know I'm not the best in the clutter yet but I'm trying my best. I hope you'll enjoy the photos :)

Splitting the Ottomas family

After David Ottomas' death, Justyna, his eldest daughter from the first marriage, agreed to stay in home with her husband and take care of step-siblings until Marek reaches teen stage.

It was the morning of his birthday. Whole family ate breakfast together and had a little chat about the plans. Justyna already knew she's pregnant so she announced it and told that they will move after party.

Marek invited all his friends and blew the candles. He's a teenager now, family aspiration. He wants to become a super hero so right after party, he found a job in law enforcement. I'm proud of him. He will now have a tough job to take care of his little sister, Waleria.

Justyna and Shea moved to rented house. They can't afford buying now but they need more place for the baby.

They have now the son, Mikołaj Johnston!

After few days Justyna reached the top of the army career so she wanted to be a chef now. She changed the job and maybe she earns less now but at least she has a fun in reaching the goal.

Mikołaj also had birthday.

He lost his mind (head) over it.

Since I'm seeing the original Steve Buscemi sun post going around again, and this has been sitting in my drafts for over a year, it seems like a good time to actually post it. This project started (in 2021, apparently) because SimNostalgia's sun inspired me to make a Paul Reubens moon, then made my own Steve sun to match. This was originally intended for personal use, and was almost shared last year but got left in drafts and later shared with some Discord friends, but I think the time has come to release these handsome celestial gentlemen into the wild.

Credits:

@simnostalgia for the idea, 100%! ♥

@lowedeus for the default package files I edited to create these.

Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! (S01E03) for the Paul Reubens moon (I literally just cropped and resized a screenshot from the show).

Unfortunately it seems I didn't save the source for the sun image I used, and when I reverse search it now I get mostly various fandom wiki links in lower res, but I'm pretty certain I originally saved it from some "download free pngs" type of site. I put the original unedited image on Imgur, if anyone wants it for anything.

Steve Buscemi and Paul Reubens for their striking visages. ♥

Ottomas vs Gavigan - better daughter

Sorry for not posting for so long! I had many issues related to my work and private life, so I had to take a break. I have many photos from the game and stories, so buckle up!

This time we're visiting Mirosława Ottomas, one of the Ottomas twins and sister of Miłosz from previous stories. Her boyfriend, Kamil Gavigan, came to see her with his father, Nathan.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, young lady."

Kamil didn't want to wait for the proposal so he did it in front of her house. Of course, she said "Yes!"

"I can't believe it's the second time Ottomas girl marries my son! Isaiah also wouldn't believe it!" - Nathan was laughing about it but Mirosława and Kamil weren't happy that he mentioned Isaiah. Everyone knows that he and Sharla had a difficult relationship and he died in a mysterious fire when she just got off to work.

"Dad, don't mention Isaiah again. It's different this time. Mirka is a better Ottomas daughter." - Kamil was so sure of his fiance. - "And we know that you secretly meet with Sharla. I want you to be careful."

"Don't worry. Sharla is not that bad girl."

So...I built more 'apartments'...

I built these yesterday, but I don't like them for this corner of the town and I wanted them to blend in more with the style of the Resident lot. My favorite part of that lot is the community feel between the units, especially as I play it as a residential lot. Some of those characters will be moving out soon, and these are very similar in design but with more space that they need.

So these are 8x double bedroom units and have a bit more space than the other lot, and still has the garden design that I like. Albeit the driveway only has 3 parking spaces but better than nothing.

and they fit in so much better! 😍 😍 😍

it's more than a little bit green around here...

1000 Follower Gift Part 2: Penrose Manor CC Free Version

Thank you for 1000 followers! For the the second part of this gift here is a CC free version of the house I shared in part one. So if you would like a CC version then check out part one!

This is a large house with lots of landscaping so still might be more intensive on your game. It's quite interesting to build without CC after such a long time but I'm happy with the result! I hope you will enjoy it too.

To install use Sims2Pack Clean Installer, you can check out what defaults and fixes I use below if you would like it to look like the screenshots. But of course it's optional! Please let me know if there are any issues!

Cost: £119,000~

Size: 3x4

Defaults:

Clear Glass Windows & Doors Default

Lush Terrain Default

3t2 Terrain Paint Default

Hedge Default - I use jodeliejodelie & Plant Fixes version

Plant Fixes Default

Ivy Replacements + Shine Fix

Upwardly Mobile Staircase Fixes

No Bump Maps On Certain Floors

No Sheen On Iron Garden Fence

Additional:

Higher Quality Tree Lot Imposters - Not required, it will be more intensive for your game! It just changes how the trees look from neighbourhood view.

The defaults are very much not required, but these are what I use in case you want it to look like the screenshots. I would recommend a version of the hedge default as it reduces the texture size of maxis hedges which can improve lag.
