I'm not sure about putting the fishing spot up on the exchange. The lot is set on the diagonal with one of the corners going back into the cave at the base of the falls and the opposite corner to near the edge of the drop off at the front of the lot. I placed it elsewhere to see how it would look, and while it's not so great without the falls, I think it might be worth re-landscaping a bit to work on its own for the exchange (although I don't know if people actually download fishing spots much anyway), but thinking maybe it would be best to simply send this version to Jessa for inclusion in the world. What do you all think?
Edited to add: Not sure I was making sense. Was certainly running on, though. I want the lot as it is (or at least mostly as it is) to be added to the world and not put it as is on the exchange, if that's ok. Was thinking if I did put it on the exchange, I'd rather do a separate, modified version of it for that.
@suzses, your container home is so spacious, has a nice layout and nicely decorated. I love that you added the deck out front. And your fishing spot looks awesome, but I'm curious what's inside the building, lol. Restrooms? The name you chose for it is certainly fitting. I think just sending it to @Jessabeans is fine for the world, but I agree, an edited version for the exchange would be nice.
@ciane, your Chalet family home will be a nice addition to the Alps area. Looking forward to seeing it once it's put in the world.
I'm always happy to see potty chairs for toddlers included in restrooms on lots where I might take tots. And, you included all-in-ones while still have the normal plumbing!!! Those bathrooms are perfect!
@Jessabeans - Will a row of townhouses be too dense for the area?
I just couldn't image a single dwelling. If it helps, I can only furnish one of the apartments.
The Venice Train Station is a port lot that's modeled after the real life modern styled version (inspiration pictures in spoiler).
The lower level features the ticket machines, a services office (computers are not accessible and are just for show), retail shops (bookstore and gift shop with registers), a cafeteria offering several dining options (including buffet table, food register, croissant bar and bakery items), a pizza shop with food register (along with self serve snacks and snow cones), locker storage, a seating area by the ticket gates, vending machines, photo booth and restrooms. On the dock side there's an outdoor eating area that overlooks the canals.
On the Upper level is a large eating area open to the below level, 2 lounges with computer stations (one with a bar and all-in-one restrooms and is accessed by interior stairs, and the other is accessed by an outside elevator that overlooks the trains). The ticket gates are color coded by ticket color (idea stolen from @soocoolsim, lol).
Lot also has a subway and a houseboat; planning on uploading the boat separately.
In addition to store items and venues we've already used, I also added one other store item (sorry) - the tropical fruit bowl.
[Note: in case anyone is wondering, those long white moving signs from ITF are supposed to emulate train schedule information you might see scrolling across. I hope I wasn't too far off, lol.]
@Sandraelle It turned out really great. The ITF signs work for me. I think my favorite part is the lounge with white furnishings and wall murals. Looking forward to seeing your houseboat, too.

Aww, thank you @suzses...I soon realized that I was running out of space on the inside to be able to make it a more spacious area, so it ended up being kind of crowded. I'm glad you liked that bar lounge because I was second guessing my decor, lol.
I've got 5 minutes and I've got to head out. Will try to get back this evening.
I finally got my cottage finished. I would love to claim something else but I'm unsure of the amount of time I will have so I shall look around. I've tried to keep up with all the new builds and get them rec'd cause they all look so awesome!

Wow, only you could make a train station look so cool @Sandraelle . Everything looks so very stylish. I especially love the deli area. Links added to page 1. Well done!

@Sandraelle great job on recreating the train station! @romagi1 That cottage looks so lifelike- I want to live there! @suzses That fishing spot is so impressive. I had no idea a fishing spot could be so interesting! @ciane I'm looking forward to exploring your alpine lot.
Okay good news @Jessabeans I put on a successful show at the opera house so will be uploading it today.
I have done a few other builds just to get the town running well and may request their corresponding lots after checking availability.
@Jessabeans, forget everything I said - I got it to work!!
Instead of bulldozing the lot, I went into edit lot and removed the dock, fencing and boats, and the title/description of the lot. Then I tried placing my lot, and it worked!!!!! OMG, I was freaking out that I would have to start it all over, lol.
The only things I had to fix after placing was the left edge of the dock where the boats were, as it was not flat, so just CFE'ed that and the boats were hanging up in the air, so I just repositioned them. Whew!!!
Thanks for the info about the backup, etc. That makes sense now. I'm so relieved!!!
It didn’t work when I first tried to place @Sandraelle ’s station even after bulldozing the existing port lot once. However, the method she used about first editing the existing lot to remove the buy and build objects worked so I’m re-posting in case others need this info too. The boats did hang in the air after placing, however once I grabbed and hit escape they dropped back into place. Looks even better in game 😀
Edit! Sandy, the game replaced most of the chairs upstairs with defaults. What set are the the white and red armchairs and bar stools from? Silly me, I couldn’t find the subway station then found out I didn’t have Late Night enabled.

@Jessabeans
I put NPC rooms and one furnished unit into @HollownessDevour Venice apartment shell- should I upload it?
I also built a circus tent ( uses world of wonder and some boardwalk set) performance park in the Procuretie if you would like to use it I will upload that along with the opera house.
Edit... Didn’t think we were still going to use WOW any longer to mitigate CAW concerns, but that decision was pending. I’ll update the creator notes once Jessabeans makes a determination.

Oh yes, I was thinking the same thing so I am not at all offended if it is not used. I just thought since its built to offer it. I needed the lot to get my sim leveled up enough for the opera house and got a little carried away!

@Jessabeans , @KarilynMonroe2 ... sorry, I do hope you understand, but I do not think the Procuratie is an appropriate place for a circus.
