Hi 
Few months back I started working on exotic island. It was supposed to be like mix between Roaring Heights and Sunlit Tides, but it turned in a different direction. This town has art deco influences, but interiors will be retro, mostly 80' vibe. I want to make this town without store content. There will be some of CC like RH rugs, cause it too less space for normal rabbitholes.
That's how island look from above
And that's town centre
It's inspired by Miami art deco district. It's kinda too colorful, but I think it's blending well together, so I leave it for now.
Details of buildings
And pic of island from different perspective. It's stormy here, that's why water is that dark.
Probably I will reshape island later or even create another, but on bigger map, because this turned out to be too shalow for diving lots. I also don't have place for any empty lot bigger than 40x40. It's kinda wasteful to have beach almost all around island so that will be probably reduced in future. Now I want to continue working on this island, after I finish all buildings I may relocate them on bigger map. I change my mind constantly, so creating a world is hard thing to me.
These pics are from various past and present stages. Some buildings may also teleport all around the island, cause I'm not sure yet, where they will fit the best.
Next time I will tell you more about buildings in other parts of the island. But that after they will be done, at least from outside.
If you want to see more pics of this project and catch every update, you can follow my tumblr here.

But... the rabbit holes do not match your theme. If you plan on using the RHrugs, you can go crazy and build your own stylish buildings or find some lots that others have created to share with the community.
Floraflora over at MTS has some very nice, deco style community lots - http://modthesims.info/d/573389/old-l-a-art-deco-nightclub.html

@Bettyboop55 You mean venue from store? For now I don't plan to include any store in this world, but I will try to leave few empty lots for venues. Maybe in the future, after a world will be done, I'll do some alternative version with store, but it's hard to say for now. I always prefered to create new things instead of making alternative versions.
Hi @chojrak ,
Aquamenti looks like it will be a very interesting world to visit
Even though I'm usually not that much into bright colours I really like your buildings based on the Miami Art Deco District ... you've captured this style of building extremely well!
The lots of the new district are wonderful too and I am looking forward to following your progress

@Bettyboop55 @StephSteb @KiearaPhoenix Thanks for leaving a good words, it really motivates me to go further with this world.
Today I want to kinda show off with my buildings I created a while ago. They're bigger than others and more ornamental. It's not finished yet, at least from inside.
First is in white-yellow palette, I think it's the most ornamental building in town. Despite it has no brick on elevation, I want to use it at the end of street in brick area.
I want to make elegant mosaic in front of this building. It's probably gonna be base camp or resort.
And there are some big brick houses.
This bellow it's probably my favorite so far.
And at the end of this post I want to show you cherry on top, the centre of town. I wanted to create something special in this place, not typical park. So I created postmodern square with ancient Greece accents. There's still many things to do, but you can see shape of it and minimalistic garden at the middle. It give zen vibes, very relaxing space. (Sorry for pics at the dusk, when I finish it, I'll show you in the noon time).

It's coming along great. I love the colors and builds. Keep sharing pictures and Happy Building!
Today I want to present a few of interiors from this town, there is still many buildings to furnish though. These bellow are from various buildings, commercial and private. Architecture was meant to be in art deco style, but in interiors I wanted to make atmosphere of 70s, 80s, 90s, and sometimes also mid century modern.
I was also testing clubs. On these pictures bellow not fully furnished yet.
*Doesn't pay attention to what's happening in bathtub
Public swimming pool. It has balcony to relax and looking at the ocean. It's shape was supposted to remind seashell from the street but it's not visible here.
And here are various things - fitness club, restaurant, place to hang out, etc.
and glimpse of interiors 👀
now more tropical
and a few pics from park with young deer
I forgot to take pictures of finished postmodern square I posted few weeks ago. I added a few surrandings and neons to give these buildings more vaporwave look. Think now I'll wait till I finish the world to be this bigger surprise.

Requirements
During making this world I had all expansion packs installed and bellow stuff packs:

- Outdoor Living

Some were almost non-used though. The things you need the most is Island Paradise, University Life and Late Night. Quite many things were also used from Showtime and 70′80′90. You’ll also need some mods, but this is attached to download bellow. Fortunately, I could attach it all to download. Most of it are for rabbit holes. If you won’t download, some will be missing. There's also mod with custom loading screen for this town.

Ok, now pics. This is how the whole town looks from above.
Town centre
Postmodern square. Inside there is bowling alley, games arcade, clothing store, pub and cafeteria.
Small district with spacious swimming pool.
Another shoreline
Beach-tropical district
Resort at the end of the bay.
And three red buildings inside of collapsed caldera. I built it at the end of making this world. In this district there is quiet many empty lots for your use.
Bellow some interiors from clubs, important part of this world. I tried to keep 80s & 70s interior design, there's also mid-century modern in some of houses.
Notes
All non-empty lots have description. In some you can read about town history. English isn't my first language so there may be some typos, even though I checked everything few times. Hope you'll like playing in this world and that it'll supply long satisfying gameplay for you.
I have to make a break from CAW, but if you want to know if I create something new, you can follow my simblr. There's many reblogged stuff tho.
