disturbing, but just like a dream

I finally filled up all floors of the Hans Trap Door Corporation.

The clothing store on the first floor could use a food stand in place of what is there now, but it would take a lot of hacking to shorten its length by one tile.

Floors 2 and 3 have hotel suites for discreet dates. There is espresso and a pool table.

Floor 3 is a green restaurant.

Floor 4 is a gym and Floor 5 is a spa. Maybe they could have swapped floors.

Floor 6 is a transition area between two elevators and I put a convenience store there.

Floor 7 is a study room because I ran out of ideas what else to put.

Floor 8 is an observatory with a dangerous exit to outside stairs. They lead to giant anti-war banners (lol), a weather station and radio transmitters.

The lot value is 400K, and we would pay $2,032 in bills if we owned it. But we can barely afford a nice house in college now.

Mrs. Crumplebottom is more interested in Drinks than the naked vampyre. And Michelle Kearney has a break on the night shift.

Auto-lights in the hotel suites make them seem more private, and allow for sleep.

The cursed elevator raised my blood pressure. I will post about it in the Peeves section after I have calmed down.

@jonasn You should enter our contest, that's a brilliant makeover!

I can't really build, only furnish. The elevator makes it really terrible for playability, as only one person can ride it at a time, jesus. And of course the elevated bushes outside are not really playable even with my mod as they are in separate rooms at 11 tiles distance. I think they could use the green kids stool, lol.

4 mods are needed to make it work. Selectable auto-lights, lockable hotel doors, Crumplebottom not attacking outside of her line of sight and sleeping in community beds.

In my old neighborhood from years back I thought I had found a "cheat" living on a commlot for free. I built myself an "apartment" upstairs. I had only a few simple mods and used unrestricted Ninja teleport to enter there. CrumpleBottom would pull me out of showers and beds all the time. Now she is a bit short-sighted.

Nice idea of putting crafting stations. I think I could have done that one of the floors. Living on a fallout wasteland is one way of not having to trim bushes, lol.

I think runners would be better off using a fire escape around the building. But I think it is too ugly. In the Volauvent Society I put an elevator in one of the corner towers and stairs in the opposite tower where they are by default. If I start and end about in the middle between them, they still choose the elevator with my reduced stair penalty. It turned out that with stairs only the top square penalty counted. I don't even know where to start looking on the elevator.

First of all, why does it have Obstructs View, and you can see no floor below it. I forgot to paint the walls, oops. But even painted they are ugly. It isn't even like the willow three where something can be under it. It looks obviously better when solid.

Trent is trying to follow Trisha. But the vampyre somehow interrupts him. In the meantime she waits upstairs alone on the bench. Huh, you can't make out on these? How can they Try for Baby in the elevator, if they don't want to ride it together.

But the next day I win. Roxie Sharpe starts dining, but Get Seated Without Delay pulls the boy back in the last moment. But in the end I lost. Do You Want a Ride Home? She gets in the car, and he goes in the elevator somewhere upstairs instead of going to the car.

@jonasn Now that I read again what you say about simulating a private apartment on the top floor... I remember that when I was a child I also tried something similar in that building, although without mods. xD

This was my attempt at an apartment design where each unit told a sort of story. It's design is that of an old motel converted into a full-blown apartment, with the 2-bedroom ones just being 2 individual suites just stitched together with a doorway.

@TigerAnne where did you find that fabulous Cheshire Cat?

@pinkdynamite It's a conversion from Alice, Madness Returns by Sadepäivä. There's a lot of great stuff on their Tumblr.

@TigerAnne thank you! The original Alice is one of my favourite games. Can't wait to use these!

Been building a lot:

No, you've been building MANY lots! (Sorry, I can't resist a lame pun when I feel one. Maybe I'm part English.) I love them, especially the horse corral and general store. Western themed hood?







My latest obsession is cluttered kitchens. I can't help it, I need to fill every shelf with jars and bottles!


The witch house at the Pumkin Patch has also been updated with a self-serve apothecary.

Tigerann: actually the horses are not a lot, just hood deco. Love your pics - it's all those little bits that make it interesting

@TigerAnne Sorry but I must know what that cat/plant thing is in your third picture and where my sims can get it!

Aww, thank you!
