    Thank you ladies. The Hidden Springs Lighthouse lot is now available for download => thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8724719

    Inside the main structure is fairly simple... open concept living, dining, eating main floor. Second floor contains 3 bedrooms, nursery and small play area. The tower houses the bathrooms, TV/reading room, basic gym, designer room and access to the top of the tower where sims can paint. Various artist and crafting activities throughout the lot. Some activities for children also added... space to add whatever you want.

    Cows, chickens, bees, 1 fish spawner included and garden with most of the BuyDebug plants and trees. I've left some 'perfect' seeds in the garden for optional future use. No CC or CAP used. Custard checked. Made for @anettesb 's wish lists below. Hope you like it :-)

    9) the ecofriendly artist collective
    see wish 5 for basic info - a home for many (8) non related sims + at least 1 toddler
    using the ecosets (free) solar panels and/or windmills
    room for following arts: painter, writer, sculpture, glassblower, street artist, inventor, designer, music.
    little garden for keeping them self with food (maybe the chickens)

    25) the old lighthouse
    an old light house working as a home, where you can go up in the light house with an attached caretaker hut/house white washed. Bonus if some of the roof deco from MH/DV is used. lot size 40x40

    @socoolsim, looks Beautiful and Quaint! Rec'd and stole! :D

    There used to be a fog emitter code that did the light house light but you had to get it up off the floor for it to look right. There are probably work arounds to do that.

    Thanks for your comment and rec @romagi1 . I wish I knew about the fog emitter lighthouse light before I uploaded. Ah well... it still looks OK with the searchlight. Glad you like it :)

    Think the sky light + big garden ligt do the job for light house just fine.... didn't knew you could do the fog emit thing... though now you say it I think I might have seen it done....

    Hi @anettesb, before I go any further do either of the 2 options below work with your vision of what the SimFu Academy in Hidden Springs can look like? I was trying to do modern Asian but am wondering if too Asian for what you were thinking? Of course, both concepts are just starting points and I may likely tweak. Thoughts?

    both will look a bit out on the lot.... but thats ok
    I think B is best
    if you want I can find an area foto for you
    actually this is pretty good

    if you look at the left picture
    the free lot right next to the yellow building... just acros from the blue school

    you see the front of the school here

    I do love the use of Bauhouse with a few asian detals onthe outside.
    maybe it is only the red that might stick out... and as I said thats ok....it could have been build for the purpose....

    Hmm... I can tone down the red a bit and maybe change the texture to fit in more with the area. Good thing the other buildings are colourful. Will go in game later today to have some fun.... makes it easier now you have chosen a place for the lot :smile:

    I don't think it needs tuning down, moderen with an Asian feel is perfect, like it is a new build for the area.
    Maybe more of the gray stone, like if it was taken from a stonequarl in the mouintains
    But just maybe as it looks great

    OK, what about this tweak? I recoloured wall patterns from your inspiration Early Learning Centre since I don't have the other buildings in my version on HS. If you think the black is too heavy, I can perhaps use a lighter floor pattern at the front entrance or make the fencing white. Here are some views so you can see where I'm heading.

    I think of an academy as a grand institution so that's why it's so large for the downtown area. In my studio I have a simple build which I'm thinking may be more the style for the university lot. If I decide to build that version too, you may want to take a look. It was one of my very early builds made for my Toronto Islands world...

    I like that you match it witht he learning center (that isn't in town, it was just for inspiration)

    lot it be on 2B 30x30

    I like the Black.. it is very moderen yet ties in well with nordic and asian... I could see this in a Danish town (if some one had money to make it for that sport, they normally jsut use school sports halls)

    your studio lot looks amazing for uni (though it would need some season friendly house for training ectra) a true thematic lot for that town.
    I have found 2 I need to test in uni... they look ok on the outside... so maybe that knock them of.

    OK, I'll go ahead with flushing out the lot for HS and may tweak more as I go along. May not get time to play Sims until next weekend with work but will see how time goes. Hope you have a great week ahead if I don't touch base before then :)

    Hi @anettesb, I have been chipping away at this after work every day. Most of the rooms are now laid out with furniture so next step is to recolour. I couldn't resist starting on the landscaping since that's my favourite part. I'm happy with the back of the lot. Still not too happy with the front but will leave it alone for a bit while I work on the insides. Sneak peak of the meditation garden with koi pond :)

    Hi! Hi! The designs looks amazing! I'm not the greatest builder, especially compared to all these wonderful buildings, but I'm thinking I'll give this another shot! I can definitely make something halfway decent....

    maybe you can remodel something... use the bones from an EA build... that could be cool...

    well for that I think a small farm (free lots in area A) might work (you could import an MH house if you wanted and repaint and remodel or farm homes from AP or homes from 🐸🐸🐸🐸)... or if you want to make a shop the old gasstation from LP.... or maybe a RH building would work remodeld for Pascals shop. there might even be a building that would work for the apartment building.
    I'm really happy you like to help me
    I have a more detailed wish list in @NagyGina 's thread

    sounds fantastic, don't think it need much light (inside or out) and what is there could be old looking...

    maybe a few of these for out side

    Thumbnail_300x300.png

    as that is what is used on most public lots in that area...

    maybe some of the old mill yar lights inside... or the wagon wheel lights from pets
    DV also got some lights that might be great
