Hey guys welcome to my in-game CC builds and play.
I finally actually started playing the game and wanted to come up with a concept to showcase my CC builds in my game and decided to make it a combined effort showcasing the builds through the eyes and journeys of my sim as I play, build and move along.
Call it build by story if you will lol

So this is Rene, she is a young adult and single (I hope) She used her inheritance from her father to by her own boutique and this is where her journey and my building starts...at home and work.. and where-ever she takes us...this thread is for showcase purposes only :)

I do have another thread for non-cc builds which could be found on the gallery, the builds here are all loaded with cc and is not available on the gallery

    Looking for a property 2 buy was an easy decision for Rene. She knew she wanted to live in the Sea Bay (Windenburg) area and the moment she saw the Old Steel factory building that was transformed in2 lofts she fell in love with it. She adored the little shops below and was over the moon when she learned that the penthouse was on the market. She clinched the deal and phoned her mom to arrange the move..yes, she is a little spoiled..
    The old Steel factory - now called STONE BRIDGE LOFTS

    Rene arrived at her new loft apartment with the last few boxes

    Finally settled and appreciating the view from her top floor loft

    Time 2 explore the loft,

    The entrance hall is narrow but inviting, with minimal furnishings and big paintings on the wall.

    Bath Room

    The bathroom is black with gold and beige tones. She is happy to have space to do her laundry.
    The bathroom consists of a Jacuzzi (Definitely spoiled), modern shower and double basins

    ..and off course she had 2 test the Jacuzzi (now I'm convinced she is spoiled)

    Bedroom

    The loft is mainly open plan with only glass doors separating the rooms. Looking at her decorative taste as a young adult, Rene has some tomboy tendencies, which showcases her strong personality and diversity

    The bedroom area is smaller with space for a double bed, build in cupboards and a dressing table

    Living Room

    The living room is spacious and flows in2 the kitchen. Beautiful views from the steel windows over the city of Sea Bay makes this room her favorite place in the loft

    Kitchen

    Even though space allows it, Rene opted not to have a dining room preferring to have her meals in the living room or outside at the pool area.
    The kitchen is compact an in a L-form with a work bench on the opposite side. Perfect for a single sim starting out.

    Study

    The study area is spacious and was a perfect fit, once she decided not 2 opt for a dining room area. This room is basically used as a store room combined study. Above all it holds sentimental value for Rene, as her father's bookcase and desk found it's way here. She mentioned that this room would be her sanctuary.

    Patio area

    This area could be the reason for the expensive price tag off the loft. It features a stunning view over Sea Bay. The pool is a decent size and her father's big old Honolulu Bar completed the picture for Rene. She imagines having a few get-together's here, entertaining friends and family. The patio is completed by big pots and plants bringing the outdoors..indoor..

    ..I doubt that lol but Rene is driven and fashion is her passion. She was excited to open her store and arrived at her boutique early to make sure everything is perfect for the grand opening.

    This building is also an older building that was restored to keep it's natural curb appeal whilst translating in2 a more modern interior. There are 2 levels in the boutique and Rene hopes 2 cater for the fashionista's of Sea Bay and surrounding areas.

    Rene's Loft Apartment and her Diva Boutique that she owns looks so very nice! :) The cc furnishings look so very great! It was very nice seeing pictures of the areas in each of the builds. They are very nice places for her to live in and to run as a boutique store!

    There is a lot of style and unique designs here, and the small details like the dog and cleaning equipment behind the counter make it so much more interesting to watch. Details are important and give that live-in feel. I'm a writer and i am enjoying Rene's journey so far.

    Rene is happy how her 1st day at her new boutique turned out and makes her way to Bibi's Bakery for some well deserved treats and fresh bread.
    Bibi's bakery is not your traditional "granny bakery" Nope, Bibi is a worldly lady and she likes the finer things in life but everybody knows that she is a bit shady and that the bakery actually belongs to her soft spoken husband Carl.

    Rene arrives at the bakery

    fkrnobe.jpg

    pcSd8yo.jpg

    kpgWqbU.jpg

    Once inside she makes a quick stop at the ATM but big Alfie beat her to it. He is such a gentle soul and a regular visitor here at Bibi's bakery

    sSJx1F0.jpg

    Oh and this is Carl. He does all the work in the bakery and has yet to learn how 2 put Bibi on a leash..if only she wants 2 stop spending..

    bVTvyUf.jpg

    Talk about the shop-a-holic Prada addict.....Bibi acknowledges Rene with a slight movement off her head when Rene enters the baked goods section

    8emsJWD.jpg

    Alfie is already eyeing the creamy cakes as Rene walks over to the cupcake and doughnut section..

    C3XxWsK.jpg

    EyGio9s.jpg

    Rene greets Lola, who has been here since the bakery opened and orders her fav deserts

    bYBM032.jpg

    On her way to the other pastries, she sees the other staff member Gilda and customer Mrs Hildebrand engaged in a light convo

    x5pgGfN.jpg

    Lola comes over to help Rene decide and recommends the caramel ..but Rene is eyeing the chocolate bar in the vending machine. She decides to rather visit her fav part of the bakery, the fresh baked bread and rolls

    gtR8vBQ.jpg

    Oh how she loves the smell here..hmmm maybe what 2 choose?

    cjv28JA.jpg

    JYnsi3G.jpg

    After making her selection, Rene turns around and sees Hilda, a rich widow and Bibi's bff, teasing Carl's cat, Kietsie...mainly known as the bakery cat..

    cNY88eQ.jpg

    On her way out she forgot to say cheers to Carl, but he is surely hard at work, baking cupcakes for tomorrow...poor Carl

    rHqF0tm.jpg

    Oh my its already getting dark outside, Rene makes her way to her car and heads home ....

    ol7ufJi.jpg

    ***

    Tomorrow is Friday..wonders where will Rene visit or shop next? Or maybe she will pop in at the new bar in Sea Bay ...

    Bibi's Bakery is so very nice! :) The cakes, bread and other baked goods in the bakery look so very nice! It was very nice seeing pictures of Rene 's visit to the Bakery and meeting the staff who work there. The cc furnishing of the bakery looks very great! :)
    I hope that she enjoys her visit to the bar tomorrow.

    @Zita1966z
    I don't have a clue as to where to start except to just simply say WOW! It feels like I'm looking at a totally different game or maybe Sims10? :o
    I can't even imagine having the talent to say "Hmm... (Blank) would look good here, so I'll go MAKE one"!!!
    I'm in complete awe of you!
    Fondly,
    Shelby
