@Rflong7 Your gift (the empty version of the world) has been checked and is CC free.
Like before, I installed and took a look. Nothing unexpected shows up.
Gifting an empty version is perfect for those who love to build! What a thoughtful gift.
@LMC6255 Oh, I do like Henry, and I think he'll make a great prince for Ginger. His papa gave him some very good advice. I like that you placed his home in your Renaissance Gardens and the lot name, Henry's Hopeful Abode, is perfect. I'll have to agree with ciane about the dining spot inside the bay window being a favorite.
@suzses Your gift has been checked and is CC free.
Lupin Lane Townhome Apartments is such a cheery place! Love the exterior colors and individual decks in back. The interior of the playable apartment is cozy and charming, filled with comfortable furnishings and decor. Sims will enjoy living here, whether they own ... rent a room ... or house a small family.
Dear Buddy,
I've finally got gift number one presentable with updated pictures. It was ready before today, but well then I tweaked a few things and suddenly nothing matched the pictures, so I had to get a whole new set of pictures for the gift.
The park was originally built in Great Bear, and then moved to Sunset Valley for further testing.
There is a fenced version of the park available here.
The reason for the fenced option:
I had to replace some of the plants (not pictured) before moving the lot out of Great Bear. Those deer get very hungry and will even eat certain specialty plants.
Ps, it is not set as a festival lot so it changes at 3 am on the first full day of the new season.

Henry is handsome and his humble, hopeful home is perfect for an adventurous Sim like himself! Hopefully, he learned the lesson his father tried teaching him and won't be a lonely hearts for long.
@LMC6255 Henry has had it hard in his life. I bet he'll make a sweet Prince Charming.
A quaint house. I wonder which house the couple will live in later.
@ciane It must be fate if she meets the perfect Sim.
I've been busy making (adjusting) my Sim to play in my two gifts. I decided they'd fit in Pangaea. That way I could switch between them.
The Cave fit very well in the old Volcano.
She stayed in learning to cook and cooking.
There was a crashing sound outside which scared my Sim so much she didn't even want to see what it was...
When it got late, she decided to kick the thing. . . Which really could be an interesting story of Past and Future turmoil!
I switched while she was sleeping...
The Pixelated Legos fits in quite nicely.
I love the garden on the Balcony!
While she cooked something to eat, I had him do laundry.
Late night snack and checking out some views.
They're going to go make some friends so I can check it out with parties. It's been a while since I had Sim parties.
@Mmdrgntobldrgn That's a sweet little festival lot and perfect for Great Bear. Sometimes I'm looking for a park on the smaller side, and I'll definitely keep it in mind (probably the fenced version, because yes, I have experience with those deer!).
@Mmdrgntobldrgn - So you don't have to label it a fest lot to have the seasonal markers work?! I wonder if I've kept the park designation or always change them to fest lots. It's good not to lose a day to set up! And it's always awesome to have a smaller fest lot! Great idea and awesome execution!
Woot, @Rflong7 - it's awesome knowing that you have already placed the lots and moved sims in. I love the pics you've shared. I hope the party goes well!

Nope, festival mode is optional as is the day of construction mode. If you peak way back to the depths of my studio I've used the seasonal marker before on a diner build. While some items will respawn on the lot as the season turn, other items such as plants once destroyed don't come back.
Juniper Farm Park makes perfect use of a smaller space! Good to know that lots don't need the festival designation in order to have seasonal activities year-round. LOVE the variety of activities and their placement for each season.
Good idea to provide a fenced-in version so pesky deer and other animals leave the plants alone!
Some of you are sharing screenshots showing the fun you're having with your gift! this ... what a beautiful way to "say" thank you.
To those who haven't done this, please consider doing so!
And now I realize that I completely forgot to turn on the moon phases and test for zombies, oops.
@ADWilson while my gift from Puddinroy is downloaded, it's not installed yet so that I focus on the other build which is completely rebuilt, several rooms are 100% back in order & casted again, which leaves about 50% to put back in order. So the rest of today is going to be spent focusing on that project.
@Mmdrgntobldrgn Juniper Farm Park is lovey! I adore the way you set everything up! It is charming! I look forward to seeing this beautiful park in game!!

I love that idea! Just give me a couple of days so I can get some really good screen shots!! I look forward to seeing all these beautiful lots and Sims in game!!
Hi Buddy, I've always admired how interesting your builds are. I never know where to look, there is always so much going on in them. I usually take a more minimalistic approach but I thought it would be fun to try and build something for you, closer to your style. This started out as a steampunk santa's workshop but slowly it blobbed and globbed back into it's current state. I like to think it's somewhere in between? Either way, it's been fun for me to make and hopefully you will like it too.
Santa's Workshop a 40x40 Hangout
Toy workshop and toyshop themed bakery. With a cafe and restrooms downstairs, and a workshop and play area upstairs. The third floor is where the elves and santa live. I used gnomes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Jessabeans Your gift has been checked and is CC free.
This gift turned out even better than I imagined! And ... I got a sneak peek, too. LOL
The items from KPST are perfect for this type of build. I saw a lot of clever MOO and arrangement of decor & other items. LOVE the colors and the layout. There seems to be a little bit of something for every Sim that passes through the door to do.
@Jessabeans The Santa's Workshop is simply amazing, and mostly unique! I love how you used KPST, makes me really glad I got that SP! Especially now I will get to enjoy your fantastic build in its full glory!!
