@SerraNolwen That's a good use for that lot. I've never done it, but it's crossed my mind to do an artists hang out type bar there. I feel like it would be a perfect fit for the neighborhood. Your restaurant looks really good.
@DaniRose2143 Oh! That's a good idea as well! I'm having the artists generally hang out at my new arts center, but a venue just for hanging out when they leave the arts center after a performance or art show could have been great!
@SerraNolwen You might even be able to rework a small corner of that build to include a bar area. Like you see at some real world restaurants, have a bar just off the main dining area.
Thinking about it, it is more true stating that non of my NPC have their own homes as the sims living in houses and apartments are all playable.
This apartment belongs to the premade Rasoya family with the female sim Gudrun Hansen added later.
Note, that household has a yoga mat, an ice cream maker, a washer and a dryer like most of my households.
Jørgen Carstensen and Erika Murakami live in one the apartments next to the one occupied by Rasoya.
I don't recall why they don't have any yoga mat or ice cream maker. Perhaps some space was needed for mice.
Erika Mori and Hubert Juul are second generation in this apartment. You can tell from the urns from previous inhabitants found in a bookcase. This apartment is located next to the ones occupied by Rasoya and Murakami, among others.
As you can probably see, some previous and present inhabitants were painters.
I finally had time to put together the introduction to my SanMyshuno builds I went through the trouble and added all the gallery info this time. My own gallery name is musteni.

So hoping to bring this thread into the light again, as I think I just finished(?) my own version of San My (and hoping people will catch on and add more of your builds). I really do love seeing what you do, it's a fantastic way to get inspiration and San Myshuno needs a bit of love too.
San My took some time to figure out, but I think I'm mostly happy with what I have now. Generally I've gone with my usual principle of touching as little as possible of the outside of builds, but instead just improving a bit, but there are a few exceptions to this. So I start off with my first community lot build, which I've since added to:
Myshuno Meadows (Botanical Gardens):
I showed you my version of the Meadows just a few posts up so I'll leave most pictures to be found there, since then I added an underground work place for gardeners, botanists and floral designers working in the Botanical Gardens:
This is a part of my ambition to have functional work places for all the semi-active careers, thereby making them active. I then create clubs that go to work there and complete their work tasks for the day.
I also used TOOL to add a toddler playground outside the park: [img][/img]
My next communal build was Waterside Warble:
This was the second place I fixed up as there were just a few too many karaoke bars for my liking in town (I mean how many do you need?). The whole open wall design didn't really work for me either, not in a town which sees heavy snowfall in winter, so that had to be changed. Now Waterside Warble is an indian restaurant:
Unfortunately they have about three items on the menu since we have very little indian food to complement allt he indian decor items. Really EA, it's time you added more. Now if I could only stop the game from generating blond people with afros and Japanese names as waiters I'd be happy.
Upstairs is a bubble bar: [img][/img]
The build that caused me most problems, especially since I left it nearly intact was Planet Honey Pop!
Seriously, what is up with the snow inside? It took me so many attempts, but I think I have finally fixed the issue while still being able to keep the stage. What I have mostly done here is turn the place into a teen/YA hangout with games to complement the karaoke machine.
I pushed all the tables and chairs off to the bar side, and changed the bar too one more to my liking:
Another build I kept mostly the same was Stargazer Lounge:
Although again, what is up with open walls in a city which sees snow? This would be useless half of the year, so the first thing I did was add windows and doors:
And as the name is Stargazer Lounge I felt it needed something to actually gaze at the stars with:
Inside, I added the spaday light everywhere (I love that lamp) and made the furniture a bit more cohesive and high end:
Finally I added a dancefloor and some more windows, so you can dance while watching the lights of the city:
Cabash Gallery
I didn't do that much with this either, but added a few roof top windows and a glass ceiling to the build itself:
I also reworked the welcoming hall:
And changed the bar area into a canteen more alike what you'd actually see in a museum (what is up with needing a bar to complete the art center? Seriously? At least I now have staff in my front desk, even if they are offering people a drink). I use LMSs autoemployee mod to make sure the canteen is functional.
Most of the art center is what it used to be, but at the top floor I added a few bookcases (since San My doesn't have a library) and a few computers and research machine. I'm thinking this is where (art) critics work, though it is also open to the public which Nyla is taking advantage of in the photo.
One of only two buildings to be completely demolished and replaced was Skye Fitness Centre:
I really hated the look and feel of that place, and wanted a much more high end feel to it. Now it's not only a gym, but a fitness centre that focuses on the entire body and has the coolest infinity pool in town:
From the top to bottom this is a building in glass and wood, with a full size outdoor basketball court next to the building itself:
Dressing rooms, showers and saunas are in the basement:
Ground floor is the actual gym:
There is also a reception desk at this level:
Next floor is a relax department, with a meditation room:
And a massage room:
It also has an outside seating area where you can relax while waiting for your massage:
Top floor is where the pool is. This floor also contains a yoga room:
And a café:
I hope my builds can inspire someone, and now I really hope more people will share their versions of San Myshuno. Come on, show me what you've built.
Moreover, I advise that the cart button must be destroyed!
I turned Torendi Tower into a Youth Centre and the Old Salt House into a Community Centre/Library.
Torendi Tower Youth Centr works as a gym, spa or nightclub. It includes pool, gym equipment, cafe, cinema, half basketball court, dj/dance floor, yoga room and meditation space.
SM Library and Community has the library, but also a 'room for hire' by clubs like scouts and a cafe.
I am rather proud of them. San Myshuno being one of my favourite worlds for a long time, they got a lot of attention. If someone can help me link to the Gallery, I'll share. EA ID is moppy14w

Yeah I've been struggling with wanting to rebuild that lot since I got CL and I just always end up turning it back to what it was
maybe one day I will finally succeed
