She can enjoy books and tea in silent room.

I'll comback with more stories but I need to find more inspiration :)

Pleasantview Update - Birthdays!

I managed to fix the game but probably it's temporary.

Currently I'm playing 12 round in Pleasantview. My rounds last 5 days so one season.

New birthdays!

A lot of birthdays happened so let me introduce sims with new age.

Felix Ottomas (son of Tommy Ottomas and Kinga who was a townie) is a child now.

And his sister Kamila is a teenager.

Rajmund Williamson (son of Georgia Newson and William Williamson) is also a child. William died after birthday in a fire so now Georgia is a single mother.

Orion Terrano is an adult now. Still living with parents.

Dariusz Pleasant is no longer a baby. He's a son of Eliza (daughter of Brandi Broke and Benjamin Long) and Robert (son of Daniel and Kaylynn).

Kinga Broke (daughter of Ginger Newson and Dustin Broke) is also an adult now, living her best life in Downtown.

Emilia Goldie (daughter of Sergiusz Goldie who is an adopted child of Goldies and a townie who's name in Engligh is not provided but in Polish is Małgorzata Cień) is in her teen stage.

She's now a girlfriend of Olgierd Newson (son of Lucy Burb and Gallagher Newson).

Barbara Ramaswami (child of Hiacynta Picaso and Sebastian Ramaswami) is a toddler and her mother didn't show up for her birthday (more on that later).

Sharla Ottomas can finally retire but not from breaking hearts and finding new love interests.

Angela Pleasant also is now on her final stage of life as her husband, Jacek. Also their son, Paweł is an adult now and switched places with his uncle, Wiktor (more on that later).

Tessa Gieke (maiden name Ramirez) is also an old woman now (I love Alexander Goth in the background)

And last but not least, Małgorzata Goldie also reached her final age stage (I think Olgierd didn't approve).

That's all for now. Next stop NEW SIMS IN THE HOOD.

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 :)

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

Gavigan family - Choosing the side

Nathan felt like those were his last days. He was sick almost every day and it was a blessing that Mary prepared a lot of Granny's soup before she passed away. At least it could remind him of his late wife.

He decided to spend those days in a fun way and do some things that his son may not like but he felt it was the right way to do so.

He wanted to go Downtown and enjoy maybe the last day of his life.

He enjoyed bowling.

And he even mixed some music. That was a great day!

But he also had to do one last thing.

He invited Sharla and his granddaughter Berenika to his house.

"Listen, we need to talk inside. Berenika can have fun in the snow."

"I wonder what's that."

"Maybe... You could move here with Berenika instead of renting this awful apartment. I don't want you to live in the place where tragedy happened. It's not good for the girl."

"You're not afraid of what people say? And Kamil? He won't be happy when he sees me here."

"Do you think I care?! I want you to be here! And to have B close! And to give you a better life!"

"You don't have to shout. I want it. I wasn't sure..."

"I'm so glad we're gonna live together!"

Sharla and Berenika took their things from the apartment and quickly moved to Nathan's house.

"You're gonna live in the same room as your dad. I hope you'll enjoy it." - he said to Berenika at dinner.

"That's cool! I'm glad we can live with you, grandpa!" - the girl was excited about living with her only grandfather. She didn't have a chance to meet Peter.

"I'm happy too, B."

"I'm so happy, Nathan!"

Work in progress lot downtown! The exterior is pretty well done here, it's just the interiors I need to do.

This is going to be a kind of community arts centre - one building will be devoted to arts and crafts, and one to music. The outside is a kind of food fair type area!

I'm loving how it's shaping up - now I just need to recharge my inspiration to finish the inside xD

Barbara and Ernest are children now so they could meet in the Picaso's house. She wanted badly to meet also her grandma, Jessica. Behavior of Hiacynta was problematic but Ramaswami family thought it would be cruel to cut the child from the normal side of the family.

It looks like they really like each other!

Meanwhile Paulina and Miłosz decided to have another baby.

"It would be nice to have a girl."

"I just hope it will be healthy."

On the next evening they welcomed a son, Norbert Ottomas!

But the happiness didn't last long. Jessica Picaso unfortunately reached last day of her life, jest right after sitting on the toilet. Life is a great mystery.

At least she died with platinum aspiration.

Custom College Project

I've started working on a new custom college hood for TS2, and I've just finished the first dorm :)

I've had the idea for a while but I've only just started working on it (after many attempts to make a terrain in sim city 4), but im gonna start posting updates to it as it develops ! I'm starting this project because, as much as I love the 3 default colleges, I really want to create an urban & artsy/party college campus that is nestled in the middle of a city. Academie le Tour is usually where I send my 'artsy' sims, but it feels very prestigious to me, so I'd love an alternative ! Right now, the working title is Urbania Polytechnic, based off of the uni in Urbz (DS version). In the future (the long ... long ... distant future), I'd love to make the playables / townies within this hood reflect the sims from the Urbz games

I've been playing TS2 for a long time, but I've never really ventured into mods or CC until recently. Honeywell's build set is an absolute godsend though, the windows and curtains are just sooooo chef's kiss and have made building a much more enjoyable experience :) ePSYlord's NY building set is also a perfect match for the vibe I'm going for, and I've been using it to decorate the neighbourhood and create that city feel. when making the terrain in SC4, I tried to make the grids in such a way that would compliment the size of the building props! I'm also planning to create a suburban side to the neighbourhood, where the frats, sororitys, and college houses will be, as well as some rural amenities. In the city, i'm going to have nightclubs, restaurants, etc - the usual nightlife amenities !

so yeah! This will be a fun project and i hope i can stick to it !! everything is a work in progress and things will most definitley change as time goes by, but I can't wait to work on this hood so I can start sending my sims to an urban university :)

New build - The Basil Restaurant [CC]

My sims from BACC missed a place where they can go on date, eat delicious food and just spend time eating. I thought that maybe I should build them some restaurant.

I present you "The Basil". It's industrial restaurant but I think inside cold, brick walls your sims can find warm, cozy atmosphere.

On the entrance you have few tables and in the nook you can find a bar and coffee bar.

On the left there is a kitchen from which you can go into bar area.

And in the corner you have a bathroom with little nursery. I'm not sure if in TS2 you can take a toddler to restaurant but I think it's a nice sign that it's a family friendly restaurant.

On the first floor there is a mezzanine with tables.

The floorplan:

Enjoy!
