BTW @flstrider , I was exploring your world a bit more last night in live mode. That area with the waterfalls and river overlook is totally fantastic. I love the concept and execution. Looking forward to the release of your beautiful creation

@soocoolsim Yes just a standard basement and good old MOO. The tower does not show on the first floor at all but you do have to remember to decorate the basement a bit so the sim does not get the unfinished room vibe and make sure the routing is available they do need good access from the first floor. Thank you for the comments on the world I am enjoying building Eagle Harbor. Oh about the upgrade that is up to you, even though it is my request, it is your build and you will be listed as a contributor for the world so your choice.
Yeppers worked perfectly. Resort running to capacity and is now 4.5 stars. I'm building out the insides through the upgrade option and having lots of fun building in between running around with Christmas preparations, lol. Whatever rich sim buys this resort is going to shell out some serious simoleons. Really glad for the motherlode cheat

You have refiected in simform the inspiration picture of the person very well! He looks very nice! His clothing for the different outfit categories looks very nice.
Hello team, I have a request and please don't feel rushed as I'd much rather have someone take the time to really pay attention to detail
Username: TnT_Terry
Preferred builder* (If none, leave blank): @AIRIS6962 or Paula ( @soocoolsim )
Sims 3 or 4?: Sims 3
Type of lot (laundromat, club, library, park, etc.): Super Mall
Which EPs and SPs do you have? All
If you have Showtime, which edition do you have (basic, Limited, or Katy Perry)? limited
Lot size (dimensions): 40x40 or 50x50, whichever you need (you can go up the entire 5 floors as well.)
Public restrooms? yes some per floor please
Favorite color schemes: I tend to like soothing nature colors...ie...greens, blues, creams, browns, black and white, with splashes of other colors as accent.
Colors you dislike: I am not crazy about yellow and orange, but used as accent with the right tones is fine with me.
Do you want it furnished and decorated? Yes please.
Can patterns from Create-a-Pattern be used? Yes as long as links to original are provided.
Please list the Store content that can be used: Everything!
Please list the Dr. Pepper and T-Mobile promotional items that can be used: Everything!
If you will be placing this lot in an EA world, which one? LP or AS, your choice for inspiration.
Link to specific building or plan: Just want it to fit into the world.
Special requirements (subway, parking, registers, etc.)? underground parking, restrooms for f/m per floor, registers indeed, subway stop would be awesome.
Additional instructions? ok I'd like for there to be several shops of all kinds...clothing boutiques, furniture stores, sporting goods, bed and bath goods, appliances, plumbing, whatnot shop, gardening supplies, patio's and the great outdoors, hair salon, tattoo shop, spa, restaurants/food court, icecream shop, security center, electronics shop, gym, really anything you would find in a realistic super mall, arcade/children's area, heck even a rollercoaster running through is fine with me (think Michigan lol). Just whatever inspires you.
Like I said no rush, I understand the holidays are on top of most of us, so no worries. I can't wait to see what you come up with. Oh and please pm me or email me if needed (email addy on my simpage about me section), as I get tied up in other threads at times and don't always check them all and besides I spend my time in the GG.

Hi @TnT_Terry , got your PM and have started on your request. A quick check-in with you before I go further...
Option 1... 40x40
I've started a shell on a 40x40 lot - see screenshot below. Since an interior rollercoaster would be more tricky to accommodate without blocking the stores, I'm thinking of creating a focal fountain area in the middle of the first level and keeping the rest of the center levels clean with cross-over walkways.
Option 2... 50x50 or larger
If you really would like to include a rollercoaster, I would move up to 50x50 and expand the WIP shell. I think there was only one empty lot in this world and it didn't have a full street frontage so I would either bulldoze an existing lot or create in the other world.
Question: Which size option would you prefer? I've included a screenshot so you can see the size of the WIP 40x40 build in relation to the other lots. To me, it looks more like a standard mall rather than a 'mega mall' which typically would dwarf the surrounding buildings, however the smaller size may give you more options for placement. Let me know your preference... I'm good with either options.
WIP below will change as I go along...

OMG that is an extremely awesome design and I love it! The rollercoaster idea was just a thought hon, not a requirement, so no problem. I could even see this mall in RH as well. I would only want bigger if you don't have room to place all the shops hon, 40x40 is fine with me. I would just hate to see you near complete and run out of room so to speak, so be sure it's enough room for you. I am simply loving the design thoroughly, so just fly with your awesomesauce inspiration!

Cool, I'm glad you like it so far. Don't worry... if I run out of room I can upsize to the larger lot with no problem. Once I add a few store items in each area for placement I'll figure if I need more space. I also have something in mind that I need to experiment with before I cast the die. TTFN

Did you want each of the shops within the mall to function independently (i.e. each with their own Savvy Sellers door) .... or is just having the Savvy Sellers register in each shop (along with the rugs, etc for sims to purchase the specific shop items) good enough?
I'll use a couple of the other registers (books, bakery, etc) as appropriate as well.

@TnT_Terry , the difference is the savvy sellers door allows you to name and set the opening/closing hours for that particular store.... e.g. if you wanted the children's store open only during the daytime and the sports store open all night.
Since there will be so many stores, I would NOT recommend using the savvy sellers door for all of them. I'm planning to use standard doors/arches and IF you want to operate a few of the stores like a real business, you can just replace with a savvy sellers door.
Terry, I suspect you just want a place where your sims can purchase a variety of items so I think having the cash register in each store is more than enough and would give a 'realistic' touch to the mall. If you don't want the stores to the staffed, I can even leave out the registers. If memory serves me correctly... the game should auto-populate with cashiers if you do not own the lot, therefore when your sims visit they can purchase anything that sits on a savvy sellers shelf/rug/pedestal. You can hire/fire sims if you purchase this lot as real estate.
OK basically the door should only be used maybe on something open all night, like if there were a club or something? So I would go with registers and only use the door where needed for 24 hour places? And yes auto cashiers are fine with me, I can always fire and rehire if needed lol. I just want everything in one place so to speak, makes it so much easier and takes up just 1 lot.

Hi @TnT_Terry , hope you are doing well. I've been chipping away at your mall. I did upgrade to the 50x50 lot and have started on the insides. Playtested a bit since I am experimenting making shop signs without using patterns... will see if that 'sticks', lol.
Anyway, I enlarged the building and painted the walls. Had to remove the fountain décor at the top since when you exit and re-enter the lot, sometimes it just hangs in the air instead of automatically fading out. I've instead added that winged sculpture but let me know if you find it too overpowering and I can easily remove.
The underground garage was a challenge. Since this lot was not built on a foundation I experimented with CFE as you can see better in the second pic to make the sloped driveway. I just need to make the elevators work all the way down to that level then I will be happy.
What I really wanted your opinion on is the colours I used since I would be taking that to the insides as well. Are you good with the colours or would you like another colour scheme instead?
