Tumbleweed Rest, a plain, eerie graveyard and church in Strangetown.
















Simblr.
I'm also on GoS. I go on here for the community, not really for the downloading. Just being honest.

I'm currently running a 50s neighbourhood due to my obsession with the era, so here's the interior of a diner I built, very loosely based on Arnold's in Happy Days. I'll update with more pics in a bit, I just happened to stumble on this thread.

I will add some more pictures to this tomorrow, but I am proud to present.....

Sunset Island's Town Square





I am currently setting up a new 'hood, Sunset Island. In what is a complete first for me, I have built all of the lots myself. I am particularly proud of this one, the Town Square. It takes pride of place on the island, surrounded on 2 1/2 sides by row houses and overlooking the beach.

At the centre of the square is a gazebo, which will be used as a prime playing spot by buskers (if I can get that to work how I want!). The main entrance is between the toilet block and the playground, but there are four paths leading from the edge of the square to the central gazebo. The paths to the gazebo divide the rest of the square into four distinct areas.

In the upper left corner is the picnic area, which has 3 picnic tables and a fountain. During the summer holidays this area is turned into a children's area - the fountain and one of the picnic tables are dismantled and stored under the gazebo (in my mind!) and a wading pool and a bouncy castle take their place.

In the upper right corner is the wedding area. With seating for plenty of guests and a wedding arch (albeit an invisible one) this spot is perfect for weddings. Sims can bring their own flowers to customise their wedding, and there is a 3-tile table for wedding cake, champagne, chocolate fountains and whatever else they may want for their special day.

In the lower left corner is a small children's playground. It features a lovely climbing frame/playhouse, a slide, a sandpit and a bee spring rider. Ideal for children and toddlers alike, this playground will make the Town Square a great location for family outings.

Finally, in the lower right corner is a small garden area, with seating and a small fountain. Oh, and the toilet block - very important! There are also two vending machines for sims who didn't bring a picnic and fancy a quick snack whilst they're here.

I can't wait to finish setting up my 'hood and play with this lot! I am definitely looking forward to sending my sims here to mingle! :-)

**ETA** I sent a test sim here to try out my busking and picnicking ideas, and they both seem to work! Yay! :-)

Jodie Larson recently opened a home business named "The Garbage Sale." Really, it's just her "clever" name for the three tables from which she sells random crap she's dug out of her yard.





It hasn't been hurt by its negative review either: garbage expert Difficult Subject came out to see the place and she liked it far better than the stuck-up reviewer did.





She brought in a good number of customers through word-of-mouth, too. ("Difficult was right: it is full of garbage. Jodie's got some brass ones on her, that's for sure.")





Even rain couldn't stop Jodie from making a quick buck! (Though Sharla Ottomas did get confused by the concept of "line-dancing.")

Bookstore by Peni G, on Flickr
Welcome to the Enlightened Bookstore! Polly Esther Curian gave up on finding work in the saturated Drama Acres education market, and bought the old 3-in-1. It needed a few modifications. For instance, there's now enough light to read by in there!



Bookstore Dirt Dishing by Peni G, on
The coffee bar is a good place for dirt dishing, but it took up way too much space, so when I got round to Polly Esther's household in the rotation I took it out and it's now the magazine section, with the espresso machine on a counter by itself in the room with the couches. Brittany's dishing about the Ghotes' marital woes. Given how many times her own marriage has been hit with that stick, you'd think she'd display more sympathy and less Schadenfreude.



Geez, Kevin, will you just buy a postcard already?



The front room is now educational toys for sale, so the one set up for customers is in the larger rear space now. Much handier. My chief problem with this lot is getting clear lines of site even with walls down.

All you can do is the best you can do.
(My most recent book is Sullivan, That Summer. In case you care.)
