Challenge number: 9 - LEGO Build Origin ID: AndyMeadeson Gallery Name & Link:Homeward Tavern Notes: Multi-level and multi-purpose building featuring a bar and residence with outdoor spaces. The lot can be tagged as a residential home (1 bed with 2 bathrooms on upper 2 floors) or as a bar (lower level with 2 bathrooms). Attic space is available, but currently inaccessible. Eco pack's ladder may rectify this issue and can allow for additional build space. Artwork:@juwels64 and @OxanaKSims LEGO MOC:jksaare's Modular Lego Wine Shop Building Tips Feedback Wanted? Yes, please! This is my first true attempt at building something so massive. Though I constructed it on the smallest lot, I typically keep my builds limited to two levels. This is also my first foray into using some recently-acquired packs. Tips and tricks welcome!
Homeward Tavern is a lovely bar and home! @AndyMeadeson You have reflected the Lego model so very well! It looks just like it! The flowerbox windows are pretty! Very lovely furnishing of each area and level! It looks very creatively great the way you have placed the various sizes pictures on the bar wall! Very nice dining areas both indoors and outside on the patio. The furnishing of both levels of the home area very nice. Very nice blue and brown colours.
Wow! The lego builds so far are so good! I like every one! Mine will probably be late. I have a question: If I tune the lighting (colour/brightness) before uploading to the gallery, when someone downloads the build, will the lighting be as uploaded or will it be the default for that light asset?
Hello @JojoMOMSTER You could test to see what happens with your build, by tuning the lighting, saving it to your library then placing it on another lot. You can then see if the lighting remains.
Hi @JojoMOMSTER im sure that what ever you do to the lights stays as I change lights to white or the odd colour here and there and I have seen them still changed in the gallery pictures. You could try it with a room then delete it from the gallery if you want.
Thanks very much @rosemow I will wait for a bit to see if they sort it out before trying a new save game as I only use one. Thanks for the link I can keep an eye on
I have some catching up to do, my right hand still bandaged so I will not write as much on the review, you know what is included in your builds So a shorter review and Feedback, Tips and ideas the same. Sorry for keeping everyone waiting I have health and family problems recently so my mind has been else ware, so I have used the Eco pack to keep me amused and happy
Hello @beckablitz I am now looking at your 'Rubik's Neon Nightclub' and it really stands out as a Nightclub with its Lighted walls at night and the great modern entrance. Inside I love the stage and how the front is decorated/lit with colours and the entire room has fun colours and 2 great neon Bar's its great to see more than 1 to ease traffic at the bar. Up the neon stairs to a Photographers room where you can either take photo's or pose for them and you can have a nice frothy coffee while you wait or just relaxing. Great color room and choice of background for the photographs, good that you put a camera on the tripod it would be easy to forget to do that! I like how there is toilets close by for those coffee drinkers in there. Up again to the top level that has a pretty fish tank and seating near the VIP doors into the very Romantic room for possible dates. In there is a long bar and seating for relaxing, chatting or cuddle on the sofa. Great wall decorations all around, the Vintage art looks so nice in here. Handy to have a nice bathroom in the corner near the bar to save walking downstairs. Outside at the rear is a umbrella table and bench for those who prefer to sit outside at night or in the daytime. Its a very good Club for our sims to enjoy thank you for creating it for the challenge.
Now for my Feedback, Tips and my ideas I hope are useful. I love the ground level and that great stage, clever how you stopped all sims gathering up there! I will use that fence sometime! The only thing I would have done was add a sink by the bar as I usually do for sims that make mistakes or need to clean glasses away if they took over the Bar job as they can. Also I would have moved the bars forward a little as it was very narrow behind with the juice cabinet behind them.
Up to the 1st level and again I like the room, its great to have toilets there but I would have chosen a color theme more in keeping with the room next door as the white was a bit stark in comparison I feel. Plus being as they will get hot dancing I would make sure there was a shower included. Oh and you missed wall cover in one toilet, just one side, no doubt we all do that sometimes, I recently missed wall cover in a whole room as it had a ladder to above so it was dark in there Lol.
The top level the Romantic room is a lovely idea, personally I would have not added a VIP door but its what you wanted. Love the wall decorations but I would have used different furniture not the older style as the rest of the build is very modern and as you have some great packs I will change the furniture and take a screenshot for you. Oh and I would have made the wall height the same as the other floors below. The bathroom I think was too white in contrast with the other room so the red/black counters would look nicer I think and a shower in there would be perfect and useful for whoohoo! Oh and a Tip that I like to use the only No breaking toilet in most of my public builds. I thought the 'VIP Bucket' would suit the main room on the bar or tables, plus some music in there. The bench out the back I replaced with a Get Famous bench called 'Snog The Loveseat' as the other one was green and the table set is white. I hope my feedback, Tips and ideas help and of course you can ignore them its just my view.
The changes I made to the Red room I feel is more Cosy and modern, I hope you like it.

Hello, JosieAnglin @netxpre2 I am going into your 'Natural n' Modern' home, by the way its one I have an image of and might do sometime. First I get to admire yours and right away I said Wow out loud as the landscaping is so beautiful and the home a modern gem sitting inside the land with a stunning river front and rear.
Now going inside and the fresh green and white is gorgeous inside and it has a nicely used hall area with chess and books, I feel perfect to use just to kill some time before heading out to work. Then we come to the entertainments for family or friends with the Piano, computer and wall screen to enjoy a good Movie after a meal. There is also a long Bar matching the open kitchen area in Lime green with the white floor throughout it looks perfect.
Going upstairs to see a small area to the left that has armchairs and a Fireplace, opposite is the double bed with a bamboo screen in front and close by a relaxing Fish tank that hides the main dressing area, that has a wall of mirrors and Designer clothes plus a styling station and modern seat, a very nice area to try new outfits on. Behind are glass screens with a long sofa and opposite a fireplace and bookcase's so you can read here by the bathroom sliding doors. Inside is a large bathroom beautiful and continuing the green and white theme, the corner bath with greenery behind is so perfect for that relaxing soak after a long day. Very nice sink units and you used my favorite speaking toilet by the attractive leafy plant. Back behind the Bamboo plants I see the door to outside and on the open rooftop garden are planters ready to use and Yoga mats and meditation stools for the couple to use and enjoy the fresh air and fantastic views of their garden. Such a beautiful home and likeness of the original Lego home, thank you for sharing it here. I hope you will add the Gallery Link with your entry so others can see/fave/dl it.
Now for some Feedback, Tips and Ideas I have. First I must say your home and garden surrounding it is stunning, the central tree at the front ruins the 1st gallery screenshot its a shame. I noticed that the Get Famous 'Freeze Freize' would not go on all the edges you wanted it to, I would have just used the base game 'Stepped Exterior Trim' in its place as it worked better on this home. To get it to go on all edges use the Get To Work 'Fence for Window Shopping' along edges then add the trim.
Outside I noticed there were no lights at all not even in the river, what I often do is pop outdoor lights made smaller, under the odd rock! or in plants as It looks neater and lights the garden nicely. My Fave light is 'MothBGone Outdoor Lamp'. I will add a screenshot or two to show you how things look. By the way the inside of the pool has no wall cover at all I would use rocky wall cover inside a natural looking stream or pond. In the screenshots I show the difference of lights under rocks and in the water normal pool lights just under the edges hidden by the plants and rocks.
Inside I noticed the kitchen area only had seats for two, personally I think a table with at least 4 chairs would be more practical if they have friends over. Upstairs I noticed the stairs had no railing, no doubt I have done the same in the past! In the lovely large bedroom I do not think two fireplaces would be needed, maybe the one by the stairs could be for something else like the Massage Table from Spa Day, I do love using that in a bedroom or on a balcony, adding incense burner and towels under it. Out on the balcony I would have added the Spa day radio speaker just to add to that beautiful Zen view. In the rear garden I would personally have some objects for sims to enjoy such as diving board, loungers or attractive seating etc just so sims would use that stunning garden!

Notes: Custom lettering courtesy of @FruitLoops40 . Thank you for your artwork! This was the most fun I've ever had in a challenge. This is so outside of my typical build. Working with all of the colors was inspirational. As it was not possible to copy the interior of the Legos build, many liberties were taken with the layout in order for their to be access to each floor. Thank you @luckyheather for hosting such a great challenge!
