@haids5987 cool cemetery and stories!!! Love the anchor in the pond and the mausoleum and the ghost pics!!
SO I started a build on an angle then realized it wouldn't work with stairs. THEN I started building something new and now I think I need to add another story underneath the two I've already built. As the pirate would say: arrrrrgh!
Prehistory Challenge #: 18
Origin ID: carolynrosser
Gallery Link (if applicable): Davy Jones's Tavern
Skill level: Whatever comes after intermediate, but before super-big-excellent-expert
Back story: According to some stories, the legend of Davy Jones's Locker--a perilous final destination for sailors, located at the bottom of the sea--originated with a greedy tavern-owner who kidnapped sailors who tarried too long in his pub. On the surface, this tavern is a lovely and congenial place (not to mention very dog-friendly). But beware the locked door that leads to the basement, for no sailor who has descended those stairs has ever come back up again.

Just a nice, ordinary seaside tavern. Nothing to see here!
Downstairs, there's a storeroom. That seems pretty...uh...normal...
Looks like it's open to the harbor--is that a shipwreck?
And beneath the surface...
A ship crashed on the rocks, helmed by a ghostly captain...a table set for a haunted party...
The graves of lost sailors...strange lights...treasure spilled across the ocean floor!
May the name of Davy Jones be forever spoken as a warning to those sailors who want to make it back home alive!
The design of Davey Jone’s Tavern looks great! @carolynrosser It is a very creatively designed build! The top level of the build looks very nice how it is has been set up as a Tavern. The tables and chairs look nice how they have been placed on that level for sims to enjoy sitting there having a drink from the bar, near the fireplace . The drinks cabinets are a nice touch on the bar area wall. The next level down with the crates and bottles on the walls and walls shelves looks a great storage area. The furnishing of the lower basement shipwreck level looks so very great! The large shipwrecked ship and the skeleton captain helming it looks great! The skeletons in the various areas of the room sinking ink the objects, the ghost gnome, tombstones, the outline of the body on the ground and fish bone fish look great! The brambles and greenery on the walls gives a great look to the room! The crates add to the feel of the level. The treasure chest and treasure spread across the floor looks great!
It is a very creative build for the theme!
Wow, @carolynrosser, I love it! I'm really impressed that it literally looks like it is off the coast and on a pier! May I ask how you did that??? Did you build on a pool? I'm so intrigued by your ingenuity!!
EXCELLENT! This was a very exciting round to judge! Everyone was so creative, and it was just the most fun! You can find the judgement HERE and I hope you enjoy reading that as much as I enjoyed your builds! Just excellent! I'll start working on round 19 today so keep your eyes open for that! #prehistoryparty
Round 19 is up! It's a Star Wars inspired build! IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE ACCURATE TO THE MOVIE! I'm not a die hard fan looking for the same thing as the movie! Just be inspired by some of the cool pics I posted! Be inspired by the sweet landscape and the stairs, and the dust, and the cool arches! You won't lose ANY points for straying from starwars, make up your own place that would happen on that planet! I can't wait to see how you interpret that!
(If you haven't noticed, I'm pretty easy-going about the judging so feel free to go wild! I love your build already!)
There's a three week span for this build because of holidays and what not, so take your time if you like! Wee!

Thanks, @Haids5987! The lot is on a pier in Brindleton Bay, the town that came with the Cats & Dogs pack, which seemed like the perfect location. But I think you're asking about the build itself: I built the pub, then added a basement which covers pretty much the full dimensions of the lot. Then I built a pool in the basement, stretching out to the edges of the walls. I only left a little bit of floor area, where the stairs from the main floor are, so it gives the impression of being a dock on the water.
It is seriously so beautiful, @carolynrosser. Seeing other people's creativity has been my favorite part of these challenges so far. Not only are you ladies all smart and beautiful, you are multitalented!
AH I can't believe I've missed two builds. The pirate one seemed so cool! (I still might build one for myself anyways) Sorry guys I was just so busy with final exams and papers.
Everyone's designs were so creative I love them all!
The huge sci-fi fan that I am, I've never actually seen any star wars film. I will try my best with this challange though!
Hello @24Lunaa I hope that the results of your final exams and papers turn out as you would like them to be. You will enjoy having a rest after studying
Cool...so now I have a choice...finish a pirate ship...finish a scary cathedral or try a Tatooine...YAY! And I'm with you guys..seeing other peoples creations is so much fun! Love the amazing different takes people can have on the same theme!
Haha I can't keep up with the builds either haha I didn't even have time to turn on my computer since I posted the results haha It get's really busy for everyone this time of year so no stress everyone! Just fun!
I'm a bit late to the party but thanks for the nice/funny comments about the vets @fabtiffsim@rosemow@Haids5987@Ainsleyf@carolynrosser
sorry, real life got a bit crazy there with Christmas prep & a 7th birthday party to organise -McDonalds next year!

Not sure if I'll get anything built for the next challenge but I'm for definite going to try, very excited about this theme and cant wait to see what everyone does for it
