ENTRY DETAILS: For most sims, life on the beach in Brindleton Bay would seem idyllic. Not so for Xenia, who's come to a horrifying "realization" that most of the sim government has been taken over by robots who want to destroy simanity and rule the world. Xenia may enjoy post-apocalyptic video games (maybe a bit too much...), but she certainly doesn't want to live through it for real. No, she's going to find out how these dastardly androids tick and put a stop to them, with the help of man's best friend, of course. Xenia and Foxbacon
I took some inspiritation from Fallout 4 for this one. Another inspiration was the Shingles style, which I felt fits into Brindleton Bay very well.

Has anyone encountered this bug, and what can I do to fix it?
This appeared in my game yesterday, before the lot was fine.
I have tried to fix it by repairing my game and started a new save to no avail. ( No mods or CC )
The extra shadow? Yeah, I've seen that before. It was much smaller though, looked like a llama stuck to the side of the house. What I ended up doing was building a pond directly around the shadow then deleting the pond. That took the shadow with it.

Maybe I wasn't too clear. I mean the shadow/line right at the property edge. I know the pic is a little dark. It looks like the lot sits higher and not blending in with the surroundings. It looks like this all around the property.
Unfortunately I can't build or put anything down since it's right at the edge.

LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: HERE
ENTRY DETAILS: Xenia takes shelter in an old observatory on an island off the coast of Windenburg, specifically on a plot of land called Mid-Nowhere. The observatory was abandoned until Xenia moved in and added a few security features as well as some additions in the basement. The interiors are mostly concrete and steel to withstand harsh weather conditions, and cameras are hidden in the trees to warn Xenia of any trespassers. The one-bedroom home is equipped with heating and cooling as well as the secret bookcase leading down to the basement lab. The lab has the work area, a holding cell, and another bookcase door which leads to the storage room; this is Xenia's escape route just in case the feds are onto her.

LOT: Strange Safe House & Lab
LOT NAME: Built on Old Penelope 50x40 lot, $3,500 (Strangerville)
GALLERY COST: $41,280
LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: https://imgur.com/gallery/xLg1K4y
ENTRY DETAILS: In Brief: Are you a bit unsure of what’s up with Strangerville? Feeling a little paranoid and need to feel safe?? Then this is the home for you! This spacious lot features a border of hills, boulders, plants and fencing for privacy. It’s dog-ready for your ‘guard’ or ‘alert’ dog, has a surveillance camera, and a secret lab with supplies in the basement. It features the ‘Private Dwelling’, ‘Science Lair’, and ‘Peace and Quiet’ lot traits...
In Detail: The Property: The property perimeter is a combination of hills & boulders, fencing with a locked gate, trees & plants. Of course, all outdoor plants are away from the home (since Xenia suspects outdoor plants of being ‘bugged’), and are selected to blend in with surroundings. There is one exception … Xenia aspires to become a great cook, so she has a small garden at the top of the hill with the fruits, veggies and herbs she will need for those recipes. The garden has fencing and a locked gate to make sure no-one messes with it, though.
The Home: Nosey neighbors? No problem! If any of them manage to get past the fencing, locked gate, hills & boulders on the outer edges of the lot, Xenia is prepared. The door and windows have the appearance of allowing for a chance to peek or get in, but they are locked up tight. The porch is well lit with glass in the door and a surveillance camera to see who’s there before letting anyone in. Even the dog-door is locked to all but her faithful companion and ‘guard’/alert dog, Pinky. Also, all of them have iron guards, just in case, and if a nosey sim tries to peek in, what will they see? All things normal, that’s what. The upstairs is just a normal home.
Though Xenia is leery of outdoor plants, she loves indoor plants… as long as they have been checked properly to make sure they’re safe… and all of hers have. There are a few statues of the strange local plants, but they are also safe, and ‘housed’ in containment cells, just to be extra safe. In her secret lab room, that is…
Speaking of the Secret Lab… there is a locked, ‘secret bookcase’ door in Xenia’s bedroom that leads to the basement lab. In it she has a computer for research (and occasional simming!), her lab with a mysterious live local ‘strange plant’ and ‘tendril’ safely encased in her containment cells. There are ‘spoiler items’ that she can use or not use – it’s up to her (you) - she won't be able to use them unless you make them available) - in/on a protective display case (the spoiler items can help you out a bit, if you want to use them - includes a hazmat suit, infection scanner, evidence, infections vaccine, secret dossier, and more). Either way they set a mysterious and inspirational atmosphere, right!?! There is a table to purchase bugs and listen in on other sims. A toilet & sink make it more practical to enjoy her coffee station while reading some of the interesting local books and running tests… And a cloning machine will make fast work of reproducing your.... ummmm... spoiler item... **infection vaccine** ....'cause you really want enough to go around. There are a lot of weirdos in this town. Just sayin'. (No chemical analyzer... only the ones in the town's 'secret lab' work for that step...)
Xenia and her 'guard dog' Pinky are all set to hold up in Strangerville in their new 'Safe House' and figure out what this mystery is all about! Pinky has loyal, jumpy, and sleuth traits. Will she run and hide or bark at strangers? Or will she assist Xenia with her mystery? Xenia has ‘nerd brain’, bookworm and paranoid traits, which matches up well with the lot traits of Private Dwelling, Science Lair, and Peace & Quiet. It’s as if these two were made for this lot… or was it the lot was made for them? I forget…

(Sim entry slide show) Here
ENTRY DETAILS: I imagined Xenia to be both eccentric and a little loony so a run down house seemed fitting. There nobody would even expect anyone to live and she could carry on with her secret experiments safe from government agents and snoopy neighbors. Bring your imagination and come along for a tour!
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes, please
