MrzNSmith - I like the layout of your build. Your landscape is amazing! And I love how you did the glass roofs. I love that your eatery is basically all out doors. And all the little details you added with decor pieces really makes the bakery wonderful!
Oh good another build is up. I have been wanting to do another one! I am getting sick of doing LPs at the moment! At least with builds I don't have to talk
Join me for fun on my YouTube Channel where I create Let's Plays, CAS and build videos.

LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 40x30, 223 Cotton Branch Drive in Riverview, $75,000 even
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: The Orange Blossom Cantina & Market is a Spanish-style produce market and cafe with menus created by the renowned chef, Purrsia Lightfoot, which feature locally grown produce. Patrons can dine inside, either in the dining area or at the bar where they can watch Purrsia in action. Or they can choose from several outdoor options, either under the covered patio area or in the open courtyard next to the beautiful Spanish fountain. At the rear of the courtyard is the community garden greenhouse, where patrons can get their hands dirty and learn to garden. Gin and Persephone are always there to answer a gardening question or lend a hand. Sims who volunteer their time in the garden receive discounted produce from the market, after they've hit the showers in the restrooms, of course! The produce market is bursting with locally grown produce, fair-trade coffee beans, nectar, and an abundance of decorative plants. After feasting on Purrsia's latest culinary creation, Sims can grab a reusable shopping bag from the wall and fill it with fresh produce to the sounds of Latin music and the courtyard fountain.

LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 40x30, 65 Maywood Ln Sunset Valley. abt $74,636
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: I think I struggle the most with community lots. My build is simple because I wanted to keep it user friendly like a lot of my stuff plus I forget sometimes about all the stuff I actually have.
The outdoor area is a quiet, secluded, enclosed spot to enjoy your Italian breads and lasagnas in the evening moonlight. The inside restaurant and bar area is Asian inspired with music from the wonderful city of Shang Simia, China. Taste the wide variety of items on the menu and relax while having some wine imported from Champ Les Sims, France. Out front is an outdoor market inspired from Al Simhara, Egypt with the finest produce grown organically from the garden of the world famous Megami sisters, with a community sample garden just outside the patio area.

MrzNSmith - I like the layout of your build. Your landscape is amazing! And I love how you did the glass roofs. I love that your eatery is basically all out doors. And all the little details you added with decor pieces really makes the bakery wonderful!
Thank you for the compliments. I was at a loss on what to build. I think I feel asleep when artistic and creativity were being handed out and got an extra dose of critical thinking and analyzing, but the good thing is I have learned a lot even though I'm still not good with certain things no matter how many tutorials I look at.
Erm, would modern Japanese qualify? Because I've been to heaps of places with a sort of modernized Japanese style which I find really nice and simple, weirdly relaxing.
ArikaB - Your build is really lovely. I especially like your cafe; the colors and patterns go well together. And they are inviting and relaxing. Your market is lovely. Your parking lot is lovely; I like all the plants you added by the stalls.
redkitty42 - I like the architecture of your cafe. I like how you put the little market in front of the cafe building. Your outdoor cafe eating area is lovely; I really like how you landscaped it.
MaryKup - Your build is really lovely. I like your cafe and out door eating areas. Your market is really lovely and has a nice setup. I like how you did the well and flowers in picture 21. It was really fun that you went with a Tuscany feel for your build!
O this is going to be a tough one. I am not really good at coming up with a floor plan from scratch I usually look for some online and go from there. But I can't find any that are Japanese style.

Ruairi and Eve Ryan are new to Sunset Valley. There are rumors that their marriage is a cover for Eve to gain information on the corrupt politicians in the city. I mean, why else would total opposites get married???
Rauiri is a Sagittarius who loves to cook in his spare time. He's adventurous , which is why he agreed to help Eve. Charismatic, flirty and ambitious, he sometimes forgets he's supposed to be married.
He loves sushi, Chinese music and his favorite color is red
Eve is a Libra, she wants balance in her life always. She also loves sushi and Chinese music which is why her best friend is Rauiri. Her favorite color is yellow.
She is hot headed and has commitment issues. Her fake marriage may be her only one. She's athletic and brave so she loves her job.
LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: $135,279 before playing. 457 Sunnyside Blvd. Sunset Valley. 40x40 lot on the beach.
without cc the build was $144,244
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: The "Ryans" have picked a house that would stand out and get them noticed quickly. Rauiri is a top level business man from Dublin and his best friend Eve is in law. She was asked to take down some corrupt politicians that have had free rein for far too long. Being outsiders, they needed a cover for Eve so Rauiri agreed to marry her as a cover story.

Thank you very much.
I am not really happy with the way I left the roof, it's not the best I could have done, but I liked the patio and the restaurant and ran out of time. I will probably be practicing more on Japanese/Chinese style roofs and homes before entering this next challenge. I get frustrated with roofs soo much I have to take frequent breaks so I don't throw my laptop when building! :evil: But when I do get them right I really am happy
