The old factories along the canal that haven't seen use in many years have suddenly become attractive again. Suddenly, living loft style is all the rage in Belladona Cove and disused factories are being converted into trendy apartments.
Former Lothario & Sons has been converted into two small apartments. Each has kitchen with dining space, living space, office space, bedroom and 2 bathrooms. Both have several balconies.
The cheaper apartment is decorated in a sleek and minimalist style. It costs 2,393 a week.
The other apartment is more rustic and with visible ceiling beams. It coms at the cost of 2,513 a week.
The canal adds atmosphere to the communal outdoor areas, where sims can barbercue, relax or play games. There's even the odd fish to be caught in the canal, now that it's not being used so heavily by ship traffic anymore.
There's even a parking space for the active family's car. Since it's impossible to place cars once the lot has been rezoned I have already placed a car on the driveway, which will become visible and useable when the lot is played.
lot size 2x3
lot price 2,393 – 2,513
flashing items in hood view
I should've written that the molded belt deco from AL for some reason flashes blue in hood view if you don't have the latest CEP update. EDIT: updating the CEP didn't seem to fully do the trick. Since I find flashing blue items in hood view annoying when playing, I've posted an alternative lot file without the belted molding. The file's clearly marked, so it's your pick ... - Thanks to wickedblue for mentioning the issue and testing a lot as well.
note
The lot has been build with AGS, a copy has been tested without issues and it's been cleaned with CI. Also, to avoid confusion please be aware that pictures have been taken within my main game with all the EPs and packs that I own.

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

About Me
I've moved on to TS3 and I love playing and building with it. I've never been able to resist cc before, but this time round I'm really striving to make lots cc free unless absolutely necessary.
My aim is always to create lots that stand out, either in style or theme. I don't have a preferred style but thrive on variety. Nature, Scandinavia, modernist (and contemporary) architecture, the makeshift, vivid colours, and interesting cc are some of my inspirations when creating lots.
If you like my lots have a look at smmishing.wordpress.com, my blog where I also share some lots.
I hope you like my creations. Don't claim them as your own and do not repost my lots anywhere else. You may use my cc freely in your own lots as long as you give credit and let it remain free. Also, no TSR!
As a rule of thumb, I don't take requests, simply because I dislike building slavishly after floor plans.
