Hey Buddy . . .Have You Figure(d)itout who you are yet? «123...Next Go

LadyEmillye

I really enjoyed the openness of your letter as I really got my creative juices flowing. I hope that you will enjoy each of the gifts. I really went outside the box on a few of them, but I think you will enjoy them. Some have some "unique qualities" that I won't get into until posted. Your first gift will be after work today (later in the evening, roughly 12 hours away). I know torture right, but I am pressed for time. I am sure it will be worth the wait.

Have a great day @figureitout01

Guess I will snag this as your index of gift

LadyEmillye

Hello Figureitout. While I don't know you on a personal level, I hope these gifts will tell you a little bit about myself and I hope that they are everything that you would hope for. Your letter was very open and left much to the imagination, so these gifts were from my own mind, and I hope you like them.

The first gift I am going to share is the Coastal Sands Pool & Bistro. This was a complete tear down of the community pool in Sunset Valley and then remade into something more modern and classy.

What sim?

Oh That Sim?

Pay NO attention to that sim in the picture, she's just helping me out at the moment to show this off.

So first, a nice big blue roof and an open and airy area. Pools are made for the summer and this is a great way to enjoy the sun but stay cool.

The white wall kinda hides the pool from the front, but you shall soon see why.

Side entrance really shows off the openness and as you can see there is some seating available.

It's a nice big area for the size of the lot it is.

There's the bistro as well in the back. No light in the kitchen as I would imagine the bulk of the orders would happen during the day. You can set the menu to anything you like. Maybe something light to go with the airy feel.

Glass walls surround the kitchen so everyone can see the chef prep and cook. I believe all of the bistro tables were designed for a table of two.

Birds eye view of the kitchen, washroom and shower room. They are for both genders.

I hope you enjoyed your first gift. More is on the way of course

Very nice pool and bistro Emillye I agree that that pool needed some help and this is just perfect.

ciane

You know they enter and exit those showers just like normal ones (from the left of the shower head), so I think only one can be used that way. But, if rearranged just right, all could be used. That said... I really like the build. Combining the bistro and the pool and restrooms is perfect and it looks great!

ADWilson

A poolside bistro is a much welcomed addition/renovation to Sunset Valley! Easy to see it "finding a home" in other worlds, too.

Kgaff

I spy with my little eye...
A permanent replacement for that boring old Sunset Valley pool!

Nice job

Thank you Tanu. Normally I'm not into redoing community lots. I never even use the pools, so I thought, nice change of pace to kick things off lol.

Thanks Ciane. I think I was thinking, more for decoration than actual functional use. I'm not a shower in public showers type of person, but I know they're there O.o

Haha, I'm sure they'll be popping up all over the place.

Thank you and I believe so. I rather like it so I'm sure I'll be getting some use out of it myself. A place to go in the summer on days off, or a date.

LadyEmillye

I'm going to post your second gift now as well. It sorta goes with the first, in that they are both community lots and no other reason. This isn't a replacement lot either, but I hope you will find a home for it just the same. This particular lot is unique in that there are three eating establishments. Well, pictures say a thousand words, so without further ado, I introduce to you, The Triad.

(They kinda look like Sandwich triangles . . .I may have been hungry at the time of build O.o)

First up is the little Bake Shop and fully functional. A small little eat in area and everything you need (the bakery stove and fridge to create more, if you want to own it)

Next is the Coffeehouse. A place to sit down, have some pastries and coffee and just groove.

Screenshot-7 by Lady Emillye, on Flickr

Screenshot-8 by Lady Emillye, on Flickr

And finally, we have a High End Restaurant. It's small, so it's exclusive as dining seats are limited. You can hire a chef and set the menu to whatever you prefer. And of course a bar as well for any sims wanting to moonlight.

Each restaurant was designed to be minimalistic in nature in case you wish to have a sim own it and run it.

Gift 3 will be posted tomorrow morning, which ties into Gift 4, which kinda ties into Gift 5 but has no bearing on Gift 6 lol.

ADWilson

The Triad "sandwich ring" is a clever idea! Sims can't decide whether they want something baked, brewed or beautifully arranged on a plate? Not a problem because this lot has it all. Yum!!!

LadyEmillye

Thanks Addy. I love each of the concepts (I love to bake in real life) Maybe I should coin this as the blueprints to my own spot some time down the line . . .way down the line lol.

I enjoy baking as well! And yes, you should coin this for your own blueprints I'd go there if I could.

ciane

Great idea to have sandwich shops!

XxHannelorexX

Your pool remake is great! So great apparently the residents couldn't resist sneaking in while pics were being taken Just too long for her to wait I guess, and it's because it looks like such a nice, relaxing place! Lovely colours and seating, and I especially love the lights you have used! Rec'd

XxHannelorexX

The Triad is such a neat idea! Looking like sandwiches is perfect Rec'd

MiaSkywalker

I love the pool makeover - adding a bistro to it is a great idea! - and the food triad is inspired. I particularly love the warm colors used in the bakery and coffee shop - I can just imagine going to a restaurant with those colors and enjoying the ambiance.

Both of these lots seem like they could do really well in both Riverview and Sunset Valley, which makes them very versatile.

fleshjenn

great ideas! I love how you gave each sandwich wedge its own style lol. and the pool is a fantastic upgrade. lol I have been spending a lot of time in SV lately and it is really overdue for a change.

Thank you and yes that resident does appreciate the good things in life . .at least from what I could see.

Hehe Thanks. I haven't had too much time to really enjoy it, I'll definitely need to put it in a few of my worlds I'm using at the moment. SV is more of my testing zone for some old houses mostly and someone has been going around and redesigning the homes room by room.

Thanks. I haven't really played Riverview before, one of the few worlds I don't really play in as much. I'd be looking forward to placing them in two of the custom worlds I'm using, although as one is at a Pioneer stage, it'll have to wait.

Enjoy the pool haha and the Triad. Hopefully they become hot spots. The Triad is in my world, not sure about the pool.

Hey Buddy, so Gift 3 is ready. It ties in with Gift 4 which you will understand more towards the end of this presentation.


Carbonell - The Inherit Challenge.

Meet Mischa Carbonell, the last known relative of Sunset Valley's Carbonell family.

You never heard of them?

They're as famous as the Altos and . .that other family, lol.

It's that big house in town?

Doesn't ring any bells?

Well, in any case, Mischa will get you acquainted. The descriptions are in both the household description and the challenge is in the lot description in game. But Mischa's grandparents left their home to their only living relative, Mischa, but just the house. So Mischa moved some of her meagre belongings and must turn the Manor into a well lived home, worthy of the Carbonell name and pass on to future Carbonell generations. Now you could ignore the challenge and just continue her life or if you do decide to do the challenge, the main part is you have three choices: Going to Uni, going with the first job that rolls as a want, or get a part time job and work as an author or painter, etc.

Now that you know a little of the back story, you can meet Mischa.

Look at that wide eyed, what did I get myself into, scared look.

And her clothing:

This is a two story building as well, but the stairs are gone.

Soooo Open:

Screenshot-32 by Lady Emillye, on Flickr

Hmmm, Mischa doesn't look impressed . . .

Hey Mischa? Are you signing away the deed to your home? No challenge?

*Silence*

Screenshot-33 by Lady Emillye, on Flickr

Wait . . .Mischa? Where are you going?

Screenshot-34 by Lady Emillye, on Flickr

*To be continued in Gift 4*

LadyEmillye

I will continue to try and upload Gift 3 to the exchange.

ciane

Love, LOVE, LOVE Mischa! Great job on the house and challenge idea!

ADWilson

I'm with ciane! Mischa is marvelous as is the challenge idea Three choices... hmm... easy to see this challenge already being played three times just to see what happens. Curiosity and all that

Edit: Took a peek at the file and the type is lot so I'm guessing Mischa comes along later then.
Edit 2: @LadyEmillye ~ installed it into game & took a look... house AND sim are there!

tanubanue

Love the Triad idea! How nice to be able to have choices when you go to eat! Kind of like a fancy and really pretty food court

Looks like Mischa is on a mission! It'll be fun to see what she gets up to. Love the open and airy house too ~ It will be fun to decorate.

Lol, maybe.

No, Mischa should come with the download. I uploaded as a household not just the lot. Although, I will go back and check!

Thank you! With decorating, a house can be the way a person likes, and I'm all for choices
