      For gift number 2 we will move from the wooded campground to the sand and surf
      I would like you to have
      Colorful Beach Shack

      Decorated in the colors you mentioned in you letter, this beach house is ready for any party you want to throw with a huge deck and pool area.
      When you just want to relax the cozy bedroom overlooks the pool with views of the beach and water.

      Built in Sunlit Tides Well maybe not a shack but it is colorful! This house has color to spare from the aqua and red accents to the yellow and orange in the living spaces. There is a rooftop party area as well as a pool and spa.

      Okay are you ready for gift number 3???

      In your letter you expressly requested
      "a lot that combines a few different things (a bookstore and cafe in one, for example)."

      So I made you exactly that!

      Garden Path Books & Angel Cafe

      On one side is the Garden Path Bookstore with wonderful selections for young and old alike. On the other side is Angel Cafe ready to tempt your taste buds.

      For your fourth gift I decided to make a cottage inspired by a picture I found. It's a little bit fairy tale, a little bit Celtic and a little bit farm. I let myself get carried away a bit and got a little crazy with the wall coverings but I think it came out okay. :)

      Marit's Cottage

      This is a fairy tale cottage with one bedroom and a large open living area.
      Outdoors is a chicken coop and a pre-planted garden. A large pond fills half of the front yard.

      Please note: There are two spawners on this lot, one for butterflies and one for fireflies. There are also two fog emitters in the fountain in the pond.

      I just DRFed this. I really love the waterfall and the use of the archery set. :) I especially love the terrain paint you used on the waterfall gives it a really nice natural look.

      Glad you like the campground, it was fun to learn how to make a waterfall :)

      I love the beach shack Kgaff! I really like the flower lights along the deck and the tree as an umbrella :) The colors of it remind me of houses in Bermuda where you'd be hard pressed to find a dull colored home! What do you say we pack up and go find a house like this in the tropics and just relax for a bit? Lol I also really like that it's available as a barge as well. I just love your creations! :)

      I'm right there with you! We really don't need to pack too much, just a couple of swimsuits will do! <3

      This is the tutorial I used, I found it very easy to follow and was really happy with results. I did have to go back and forth between build and live mode a few times to make sure the water was "falling" in the right spot.

      Oh my, thank you so much! I am sitting here with a giant smile on my face :smiley: The campground is so amazing! I love the waterfall and the way you used the Bohemian set is just perfect. Definitely a place I would love to camp at, and I'm sure my Sims are going to love it as well!

      The Colorful Beach Shack is so tropical and colourful, and it fits Sunlit Tides perfectly. It also seems like there's just no end to all the fun! I'm so amazed by it! It just makes me want to jump into the screen and relax by the pool <3

      Aaaah, I really can't wait to explore them in game! I'm gonna have a closer look at everything tomorrow (as it's kind of late here). Again - thanks so much *big hug*

      @Kgaff Awww I really like the campground, the waterfall especially and the name is just fitting. :) The colourful beach shack is very cute with just enough colour to make it pop.

      Haha @SjappielovePaul In this case I'll gladly let you win lol. :# I'm glad my day at work was very busy so I wasn't really able to feel the lack of sleep. But after dinner it really hit me haha. Still going in game though to work some more on my last gift :smile: I hope you had a wonderful day!

      @Kgaff Great job on the Garden Path Books & Angel Cafe! Both the bookstore and cafe look very cosy and the aquarium window is a lovely detail :blush:
