Remodels …
If you are like me, you have often found yourself wondering exactly what the builders at EA were drinking when they made stuff for the base game. I am no expert builder by far … but some of the stuff they include is absolutely hideous.
Over my time here in the forums, I have seen a lot of Simmers that do awesome remodels of existing lots. Most have their own build threads, but not dedicated to remodels. So dust off you old copy and share some of your best remodels (pictures are welcome … commentary is encouraged). Please include links to projects you have uploaded to the Exchange if you feel like it.

The original build, and a pretty scary place.
I found it to be bland and unwelcoming … as well as an eye-sore across the street from the City Park.
There is a new owner of the gym in Sunset Valley.
Sammy decided to buy and remodel the gym when she figured out dancing on the counters at the local watering hole was not a sufficient workout option.
The Newly Remodeled Raleigh/Henderson Fitness Center
Right inside you will find the concierge's desk …
The pool and downstairs entertainment area have been improved.
One of the new additions is a hot tub.
The second floor includes more workout stations and upgraded entertainment additions.
Bathrooms and showers have been upgraded, and the facility has surpassed all the requirements to reach the highest rating possible.
Revised Floor Plans ...
Come On Now People … I Know You Have Remodeled Some of the Houses … Lolz!

Thanks for the comments Will ... and I will upload it as soon as I make sure all the appliances are upgraded, and then test the lot for heavy traffic again (probably tomorrow time permitting).
As For sharing ... Please Do.
I have done several remodels, but this thread doesn't have to be about my work ... I want to see some stuff from everyone. I know that there are some folks out there with some talent. Chances are they have remodeled standard houses and buildings that came with the game.
I know what I did with mine ... but what did you do with what EA gave you to start with?

Have Fun …
The name comes from the two Sims that bought and remodeled it.
I am sure you have some remodels you can share.

If anything, the facility doesn't look as "Mickey Mouse" as it did.
AHENRICHs ...
You did a major renovation on the house.
I like the longer windows on the second version.
I also would have never thought of using the pampus grass in the front beds.
Good Work ... Good Luck In Your Endeavors!

Okay … No Offense, because this EA original lot was not all bad.
It was still a little dated concerning available resources and the initial offering.
My Sim investigates earning opportunities in Sunset Valley.
She thought she would remodel the public pool and see what kind of return it could bring in.

The high walls were removed to maximize the views.
Opening up the exterior of the property makes for a less confined feel.
There are additions to the property.
Additions include a hot tub, grills, and a full service bar.
The bar is open 2pm-2am.
The Bathrooms have been upgraded as well.
The place can get busy sometimes …
I uploaded the remodel in case someone wants to give it a whirl …
There is No Custom Content … or Store Items included.
All appliances and fixtures have been upgraded to unbreakable.
Dive In … Good Luck In Your Endeavors!
