I have two problems. Well not real problems. I've fallen in love with a marvelous, detailed world created by Rflong7. It's Industrial Island.
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/838670/industrial-island-o-o/p1
It's a small, empty, uninhabited world that's suitable for a once busy industrial town that has fallen on hard times....or...maybe that apocalypse. I'd really like to do both and it's just taking too long to get the world filled. I'd like to play soon.
Oh I said I had two problems ..... the other is Sim points still in my account that I need to use so I'll use them to randomly gift things off your wishlist.
Here is what I'd like.
Commercial or residential lots suited to the island.
I do own all EPs, SPs and most of the store. That includes all the worlds. Right now I have my favorites installed WA, LN, Ambitions, Supernatural and Movie Stuff. While it's not a hard and fast rule I'd rather not add more EPs.
If you use CC I would prefer that third part CC be limited to the grungy creations by Cyclone Sue.
http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/Cyclonesue/
My reason for this is that I've used her creations for years without any adverse effects to the game or any mods I add.
If you have a fabulous Sim that would fit the world post them too.
Tell us their back story and why they'd fit the theme.
Do you know about a mod that would enhance an apocalypse?
Great zombie mods or something that would enhance the theme of the world.
When you post your creation please also post your clean wish list.
The challenge will close when all the Sim points are gone.
Ready....Set....get grungy!

That's pretty much it. I'm filling up Rflong7's Industrial Island. I'll probably do both a run down version and an apocalyptic version. Unique Sims and building or even links to mods to make better zombies or to enhance the town.
It might be a good idea to get the island because of the lot sizes and to get a better idea of what the world is like.
And yes....for that I'll gift you something off of your wish list.
Thanks for letting me know.
I am excited about this and will be watching your thread
Oh, my WL is about as clean as it gets

It's loosely (very loosely) the stairwell of an old two-story apartment building with the super's apartment in the basement and a broiler room below that.
It comes complete with my founder Tanya Pagan who married Michael Bachelor. Tanya lifted the criminal restrictions as Emperor of Evil and Michael is working his way up the business career, though he really, really, really wants to be a politician. They have three boys and girl (and she just might be pregnant with her fifth, which was another boy in my game).
You may or may not find that the dwelling or family might fit your world. It would, at least, offer more young ones as a possibility for future generations.
If interested, I could upload the current family and or lot with the two oldest children now full adults and the other four are young adults. The parents (both past their prime at 108 and 93) are both stock brokers (at the top of business). One of the young adults has a police cruiser and has topped the DNA forensics branch of law enforcement. They have three moodlet managers in their possession and all but one have maxed athletics (the one with the cruiser - he obviously prefers to drive, rather than run).
Their story is in my siggie, if you are curious.

I looked at the stairwell in your story (the part after leaving the university) and it's a really interesting concept. I don't think I've ever seen a build like that before. That takes real imagination.

*psst...whispers* you're supposed to have a wishlist.
And an idea for you......did you know Cyclone Sue has these great broken walls for a collapsed building?

I looked at that thread and there was something about a deadline of July 3rd or something and I wasn't sure if my thread would work there. I'm not looking for gifts....I'd like to gift others.
it will work... it seems like my HS thread...
+ there is 1 deadline each month.... you just join in on all the next rounds by joining now....
This was my first attempt at an Apocalyse Challenge, and I did add add more walls and fences (two per day) until Michael made it to the top of business and I could finish adding all the fencing at once. It's actually very playable for me as I can see what they are doing easily without walls. Of course, I'm playing without seasons, but so are you! Of course, I do have uni loaded and all the SPs, so that might cause problems for you. But the only other EP I have in this game is Ambitions, which you are playing with too.
It is however, a very different look, and I do understand that it might not fit the look you are after (though you might enjoy changing that).
Have you ever used Any Game Starter? It's what I use (by Velocity at mts) to limit what EPs/SPs show up my game. They are technically all available, but everything in an unchecked EP/SP stays hidden and doesn't load for you. I really love it. I can keep all my EPs installed, but I can turn off the ones I don't want to play in a game.
I rename the sims 3 folder in my documents a lot! I keep Any Game Starter on my desktop and just click on the icons to uncheck the EP/SPs I don't want and then save. After I'm done playing that game, I rename my sims 3 folder to add ULAmb so I know which EPs to load for that game later. Then I rename my old sims 3 folder back to the sims 3 and click "restore" and "save" to have all the options available again.

Though I don't play with pets much either, I still like some of things that came it with.
I like the tube elevator from ITF, but I rarely go to the future. I never thought I would. But, like you, some of the furnishings appealed to me.
Show time careers and sim porting appealed not at all to me, but again, I found some of the stuff that came with EP - maybe windows - very appealing. So, basically, I use the "stuff."
I'm probably the only person who most was excited about the instruments with Late Night. Who cares about apartments in a big city with Vampires and clubbing? A lot of people! But me... I just wanted the piano and drums!
So, I play with aspects from most of the EPs now and then. But I am forever returning to the base game only play. For me, the best EP is Ambitions and that is the one I miss when I play base game only.

Ambitions is one of my favorites. Love having evil, insane inventors who go around town and blow things up. Gotta have my time machine too.
LN was about the music instruments for me... still is
if I had to un install 1 EP it would be IFT.... and maybe showtime
but for all EP's there are items and litlte interactions and traits that I like. so I keep them.
season I use very much, pets it depends on the family I play.
The Bunker
So basically what I created is a bunker that one would go in during an apocalypse to wait it out. It is very simple in it and how I would imagine something like that very bleak. It is sort of like an underground loft, with the only other room being the bathroom. It has everything you need to keep your self entertained well also staying within the budget of most Sims.
I hope you enjoy it. I had a lot of fun creating it! If it sucks let me know also so I can learn. oh also there is something in it from pets but I cant figure out what so if anyone finds it let me know and I will go in and edit it. Last question is there a way to delete past creations from the exchange? I uploaded another version I had saved by accident and I would like to remove it.

Outside the building.
Inside the building an elevator takes you to safety.
Looks like everything you need to survive.
