Like Mia, I thought this was a house at first. WOW! This has great curbside appeal and makes me wish I was a Sim so I could go here. The colors, textures and furnishings are relaxing, elegantly casual and very appealing. LOVE that there are many things to do ~ dining with or without live music, grab a pastry or a beverage (or both!) and even do a spot of stargazing. This is definitely a place for dates or ladies who lunch.
@ADWilson This build makes me wish I was a Sim to..
@Puddinroy : Spaceship, Spaceship is Custard checked and CC free.
Is that a commercial version of the one you did before? Looks like an arcade - how neat! Arcades are fun things to have in a world. I always end up deleting any salons (I do NOT want the game changing the looks of a Sim I made, thankyouverymuch!), and replacing them with things like Arcades. Lots of Sims hang around them and have fun. And the wall paper makes me think of the TARDIS, which is very cool.
I too really found the wallpaper interesting and think this arcade looks like so much fun. After meeting for lunch on Saturday, I think we should all hit this arcade!
@all: I'm trying to stay awake. It's not working, opps my head mets my keyboard. Did a little house cleaning where I live and now it's catching up with me. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. Night
@ADWilson I really enjoyed the back story and the house is adorable! I especially loved the garden and the decor! It has that cozy feel, makes me wish I was a Sim!
@Puddinroy That was a fun surprise! I wasn't expecting to see the spaceship design ... how fun.
Like others, the interior did remind me of a TARDIS and we should definitely swing by after our lunch at Stargazer on Sunday.
I have the item installed, I'm not sure what's up.Does anyone know why?
This is the second time with a download that some objects get replaced with
a random item even though I have said item installed LOL
@GraceyManor EA tends to replace store items with proxies, check your roof decorations to see if it is listed there.. Also the decoration is from the Mother Russia Set, do you have that set? If you don't have that set, I would suggest you go to roofs and select the round pointy roof.. I tried it and it look great on the tower..
Lots of possibilities with both of these gifts! Can easily see the build placed in a number of towns. The exterior architectural style is very nice and having all that extra property is a really good idea. Your background story gave us a good feel for the couple as well as a direction they could go in.
I originally planned to have a row of holiday shoppes on the same lot as Santa's Workshop. When it didn't work out I decided to divide them into smaller lots. I uploaded them out of order so I guess I'll start from the end.
A place to warm up after a day of holiday shopping.
Okay so I'm posting 2 today because I couldn't get on to post a gift yesterday. I hope that's okay. This is another of the mini holiday shoppes.

Find some bargains and hidden treasures for that special sim. Or maybe trade your collection for some extra simoleons for the holidays.

I don't have the entire set, but I have that particular roof piece.And its installed.I know I do, because I have a medieval themed world that uses it.
My game did this to me with a lot I downloaded from DNA to, and I couldn't figure out why? XD
I might have to reinstall the the roof...but for now I used your tidbit and it worked great!
@GraceyManor : LMC is right - you might own the item, but it's not actually installed. Can you see it listed when you go to roof ornaments? If you can't, you might want to go back to a vanilla install (just rename your Sims 3 folder under the My Documents folder), and then reinstall the store items. Yeah, I KNOW that can be a big job - believe me, I know!
But if you don't see the item in your roof decorations, I would suggest following @ciane's method for installing the store. (She can link you to her thread where she tells exactly how to do it.) If you don't, then sometimes the game creates .ebc files that are too large, and even though an item is technically "installed", the game can't find it when it needs to. It's a bit of a PiTA to install it with her instructions, but trust me, it's worth it! I've owned the store for a long time, and I would find that on occasion I would install something from one of these exchanges, and stuff would get replaced with random things. Even though I KNEW I had the item installed, and the game even said it was installed. Only after reinstalling the store via Ciane's method did those problems go away.
Just a suggestion. On the other hand, if the item IS in your roof decorations, you can replace it for yourself. And then I'd have no idea why it didn't show up in the first place.
I've had fun looking at all the gifts and writing comments down, I'll type them all out as soon as I can get the site loaded on my computer. I hope I got the formatting right on my gift posts, I couldn't preview it because my phone kept closing it out.
@ADWilson I have more gifts planned but I've hit my studio limit. If I can find something else to delete from my studio tomorrow there will be more gifts.
@MiaSkywalker
No, I don't see it installed.I will have to try that.I actually have all my store items backed up on a hard drive(pre-downloaded) so it might be okay.I might try downloading it first and see if I even have installed.For some reason I always think if I own the items it will automatically download with the lot.LOL
