@Mikkiness Thank you for your lovely compliments! I agree with you, the ROM windows are beautiful... and interesting as well. And as soon as I added the ROM fridge to the kitchen and chose the 'stainless steel' coloring for it... I wanted it in my own kitchen and it instantly became one of the items I would not consider for downgrade if needed for those tough budget cuts in the end.
@AliSim19 Super cute and whimsical town layout!! Love it!!
So a couple of questions - I’m virtually done with my build, although still need to do slideshow - do I post like a normal entry? And then can I just say which one I’d like to try next? (Two weeks to kill with my newfound building addiction, I’ve got to try another right??!)
@equuest Love those flower buildings, clever! @Taoron So cute! Not sure I’m hitting whimsical inside but you’ve nailed it! 💖

@SimTresa Thank you 😊And you made a toy box haha, love it!! That rainbow lettering is awesome 🌈😁😁 Personally I’d keep the two tone, think it makes the sign stand out better in the day light. (I was inspired by your rainbow nursery for my build this time btw, we’ll have rainbows everywhere!)
Loving all these whimsical builds! This concludes the initial sign-up period for this challenge. At this time, you are welcome to claim an additional building to work on. Please only have one building claimed at a time to give others a chance to participate. Thanks, and let us know if you have any questions.
DETAILS: Welcome to the Abandoned Railroad Diner. Traditionally Diners where small informal restaurants situated next to railroads and other large trade routes, so the owners of this old railroad depot thought to go with the theme when their depot found itself in the middle of a newly zoned residential zone....

DETAILS: Turns out building a whimsy research lab isn't the easiest task, but I did my best: This is RS128. You are probably guessing what that stands for? Well, it basically says Research Station on 128. 128th is the road we are on... but don't tell anyone, the guys here like to keep their secrets! Kinda like Area 51, which you know, is the Government Testing Area 51. Just with the difference that we actually have Alien plants here.... ups, I wasn't supposed to tell you that I guess?! Hmmmm, well, I can show you around the public areas today and if you promise to keep RS128th secrets I might be able to show you what we have in our domes.... maybe.... with a signed confidentiality agreement....

CHALLENGE #128 - Whimsyville (Community Lot)
FORUM ID: SimTresa

LOT COST: 2,000
GALLERY COST: 82,850

ENTRY DETAILS: Originally, this build was inspired by the giant toybox prop from Get Famous. When I couldn't find a way to get the roof (lid) to look right, I switched to the closed lid version. Though the gallery shows it has 2 levels, it actually only has one, the upper level existing to give the illusion of a deep toybox with handles on the sides. The toys available are varied, though in most cases only one version of each is actually offered. I imagine merchandise would be swapped out as items are sold.

I think I might have driven straight through Whimsyville and on to Absurdia with this but it’s been such good fun!! So many items that’s I’ve never found a use for before (who knew that Flower Power lights spin around??!) and probably never will again haha, and lots of playing with resize and moveobjects.
So welcome to the whimsical world of Another Sim's Treasure, an eclectic thrift store collective where there's a preloved bargain for everysim...... made up of four different stores that each sell different kinds of items, with a small bedsit apartment above for when the owner needs a well deserved break. Like any proper treasure trove, sometimes sims will have to wait until one item has been moved/sold before they can get to the one they’ve spied. Sadly I couldn’t make the photos show the spinning flowers or the bubbles coming out of the water but it’s a fun store to play in game 😊

Okay. I'm working on some rooftop gardens atm for the petting zoo.
I've got a roof I can't decide which way to go on, so can I grab some opinions?
So I've extended the roofline while I try to do a compare and contrast, and it's only go to be as big as the area between the white columns, alternating black and red lines. I'm just not sure whether to place reeds down on the two black rows, or bushes up on the three red rows.
@Talea12345 two great builds! Your slideshow for the research station is my favourite thing though, made me giggle the whole way through, so clever 😂😂
@SimTresa rainbows inside too haha, love it! Not sure I’d ever get my sim kids out of your store, they’d be in heaven!
@Mikkiness I like both of them! From the side view I’d chose the reeds, from the top view the bushes.....overall I think the reeds pips it for me but only just
If I ever recover from this travel day (9hour flight, a 8 hour layover due to delays, 2 hour flight and then another two to three hours by different trains) I would like to do a bus station. Hope that is ok
@Talea12345 two great builds! Your slideshow for the research station is my favourite thing though, made me giggle the whole way through, so clever 😂😂
Thank you! I had a lot of fun building that one
@Mikkiness I like the reeds better I think. They offer a better contrast when looking from the side, which is how people would see it from the street I guess

If possible, I'd like to throw my hat in for this location. I'd be building it on the Rippling Flats lot. Thank you!

Too sweet. Thank you. I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm having some pictures made now for it, as well.

And the change I had to make so the sign would be visible int he morning. Thoughts? Should I leave it as is or make the lower part the same color?

Same roof, just overhead.
Any thoughts which looks nicer here?
