Want to nominate this GORGEOUS penthouse for an upscale family of five. Uses the Glamour packs and Vampire packs in a breathtaking way. A must see! And the toddler room is so sweet! There's so much to do here for sims--parties, movies, games, kid time, family time--all in San Myshuno!
I would like to nominate this, because the exterior is just gorgeous... in fact, everything about it is gorgeous! Epic Bowling Alley - by Jessiejessan Yay! Thank you Maxis! I'm glad you thought it was as awesome as I did!
Shameless plug here! But I just recently built a bowling alley that I'm quite proud of an would like for it to be considered!
SO I NOMINATE MYSELF:
Disco Bowl by ALovingDiva
**if its illegal to nominate yourself..... I understand *
Reason: Firstly, it is a practical concept to combine multiple activities into public venues, since we are fairly limited in how many lots we have in game. This upload combines karaoke, dancing, bars, arcade machines, and some other things, as well as featuring TS4's newest stuff pack. So it really is a nice way for players who want to try out bowling in the game and have some other things for their sims to do (maybe they have a Sim that doesn't like bowling but their friends made them tag along, role playing things...) Secondly, it's a unique design with the roof shape and the color scheme. As the uploader notes in their showcase, the colors match the clothes on one of the sims their game. I think this also adds a bit of personal touch that really captures what the Sims is about...making personalized buildings that are also well designed, and not just making buildings that are stylish for the sake of being stylish.
Reason: So I get the whole deal of bowling was to capture mid-century / rockabilly lifestyle, so it's natural to have buildings designed that way. And everyone associates arcades with bowling, so those two concepts are often seen together. This one is pretty unique in that it combines the concept of a diner with a bowling alley in both its architecture and the objects in the building. So it adds a somewhat different element of mid-century living that is worth taking a second look at. As SimGuruDrake herself noted once in a forum post regarding maxis curation, it's nice to highlight both the highly unusual and the less flashy buildings. I think this upload is nice because it doesn't look so flashy, but very unique in its own right.

Not illegal if I do it
Uploader: @ALD2.0
Lot Name: Disco Bowl
Lot Type: BOWLING ALLEY...nightcl- SHHHHHHH
Reason: This actually struck a bit of a personal chord with me. So I really got into uploading to the gallery after one of my buildings got unexpectedly favorited by Maxis, and it's really easy to underestimate just how much motivation it can give to a relatively unknown uploader. Honestly, we need more stuff like this and get more unknown builders into the gallery. It's a bit annoying to constantly see the popular uploads simply be 20% from established builders and 80% from re-uploads stolen from previous popular uploads (love the 20%, hate the 80%). For the sake of creativity.
Now, on to the actual lot, since I cannot make a recommendation for the sole reason listed above. Firstly it's a nice design, has bowling alleys to join the celebration of the stuff pack, and overall is a practical building to add to the game. So this already makes it a good candidate for curating. But I also really like the way the dance area is designed and fits the disco theme nicely. Honestly it's pretty unique in the layout and definitely worth taking a look at.
She is new to building and has only started uploading in the past month or so and her builds are very well thought out. This build in particular caught my fancy as I fell in love with the kitchen. She has a very good eye for design.
Edit -
Woohoo The Arlington was Maxis faved! Congratulations Tigerlillysim very well deserved my dear!
Wow, thank you soooo much for the nom @The_Dismal_Scientist !!! Have no words to express my gratitude, especially as this comes from such an amazing builder as yourself! Thank you so much for the wonderful description you wrote of my build and the nom, and thank you Maxis for the Fav!!!

I'll gladly second this nomination, as the Rock'n Bowl by Laebeth (or Ninnster on the Gallery) not only beautifully captures the 50s retro vibe, but builds on it in its gorgeous design and decorating, and expands its atmosphere to a wonderful diner as well. This is such a fantastic and creative bowling alley!
@The_Dismal_Scientist Thanks, but unfortunately I had no idea its not uploading correctly from the game. So when you install the lot from the gallery, the few exterior items (giant lights and one bowling sign) I placed using moveobjects cheat are not placing in the same spot. #fail I need to fix those somehow, but the building doesn't have the same feel without them.
MeaganJo, thank you so much for the recommendation. I am so blown away by your kindness. I have been a follower of yours since Sims3 and have most every one of your fabulous creations in my game and enjoy playing them to date. Now we are on to Sims4 and nothing has changed...still following you and still enjoying your phenomenal and beautiful creations in my game. It means so much to have you, a person I aspire to be like creatively, recommend "The Arlington". It is your attention to detail that I strive to emulate. Thank you again Meagan for your encouragement and thoughtfulness. Thanks to all for your kind words and thank you Maxis for the Fav!
