    Wow @bekkasan , I didn’t realize this was also your showcase thread. Please forgive the lateness of my comments on your DMK builds 😉

    First up… Azure Haven. Such a very pretty build with lovely exterior choices and detailed decorating on the inside. A gracious and grand home absolutely perfect for a large family!

    Next is Daffodil Lodge. A cozy and rustic little home well suited for a couple starting their journey together. It’s so good they have the garden to also help with their income. A great starter indeed!

    Fantasia Emporium… a large undertaking, chock full of details. The nighttime screen shot is indeed impressive. Sims can spend all day browsing and enjoying the many activities. Lol re the basement. Surely a test of willpower.

    Last so far, but certainly not least… Fantasy Folly. A totally adorable little home. Love all the whimsical touches. So cute inside and out.

    I’m so glad you’re enjoying building for Disney’s Magic Kingdom and expressing your creativity with the different styles and types of builds. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Well done! 🌸🌟😀

    @soocoolsim Thanks so much for your sweet comments. Sorry I'm just now responding. I got sick and then life got really busy with work once I was better. I finally worked on my last build recently and did the finishing touches and pictures Wednesday and popped in this thread today to showcase it and found your comments. I hope to have it on the DMK thread this afternoon if it uploads without issue. :grin: I'm always nervous about that.

    Life got busy, but I did finally get this build finished for Disney Magic Kingdom.

    Nestled in the woods of the wilderness zone is Walt's Campground and Theater. A fun adventure awaits the nature lover in this campground. I had my large tester family visit the lot to test it and they seemed to have a good time. I hope your sims enjoy as well.

    I love this first image as you can see the Contemporary Resort and Astro Orbiter in the distance. I build in a blank world and then to take pictures I usually put it in the world that has all the current builds. I love moving around and seeing all the fabulous builds as they come to life in the world with just homeless sims wandering around with my testers.

    These are views from the lakeside. The cabins are built so the back porch faces the lake. I gave each cabin some outdoor furniture. In my build version I removed the big green tree in edit town from the lakeside. I wanted a better view of the lake, but forgot to remove it in this version. Note to self!

    I'll be honest, I didn't like the pics of the outdoor theater I found on the Disney sites, so I used my imagination for this. I hope y'all like it.

    It wouldn't be a Bekkasan build without something for the kids. :grin:

    Bathroom overview
    52026223136_626534e10d_o.jpg

    Cabin one. None of the cabins have bathroom facilities. I remember camping as a girl and we all had to use the one big bath/shower room. So, my sims gotta do it that way too. :lol: All the cabins have a fire-stove. This cabin has a bunk bed, single bed and a separate sitting room which could be converted to another bedroom.
    52026223186_a6da58da55_o.jpg

    Cabin 2 and 3. Cabin 2 is cozy with a bunk bed and love seat. Cabin 3 includes a cot and highchair for a baby/toddler.

    The lake will provide many activities for your sims including windsurfing and fishing. A dive spot is nearby but has not been completed yet.

    Sims can prepare meals at the grills and tables are available for eating outside.

    What an adorable starter @bekkasan , and I love that you considered items for a cat and also a scooter. Love the pop of colour in the bedroom. Well done! 🌸🌟

    @bekkasan Cedar Bay Starter is so charming! I love the colors you chose, the décor looks so pretty! <3 The front porch is so welcoming, it is wonderful that there is also room for a cat, which I like cause I am a cat person, myself. :D
  • bekkasanbekkasan Posts: 10,171 Member

    @soocoolsim Thanks so much for your comments! :heart: I do love cats and thought it would be cute to add a few things.

    @LMC6255 I'm definitely a cat person too! Thanks so much for the sweet comments. :heart:

    I took some liberties with the inspiration from Disney since I was converting an ice cream/food shop into a toy store. I also didn't want all that cement. Kids need grass to play on. :grin:

    Kites can be flown after they are made and in the sims inventory.

    What a fun and colourful toy shop. It’s so cool kids can also fly kites. I didn’t know that. Pretty cool 😀
  • bekkasanbekkasan Posts: 10,171 Member

    @soocoolsim Thank you! I just learned about the kites while building this store. It is so fun finding new things about Sims 3 after all these years.

    Pete's Silly Sideshow


    The Big Top tent at Pete's Silly Sideshow soars high in the sky welcoming visitors inside. Enjoy the shows, unless you dream of stardom? Join the simfest and win the big prize. Visit the the fortune teller to see what your future holds. Explore the ruins and drink from the glowing waters if you dare. Make a wish at the well. Be careful what you wish for!

    The Disney version is a meet and greet with various Disney characters. This lot is assigned to the fortune telling wagon. Apparently, the dev's original name of the wagon is considered a slur, and censored on this forum, so I'm calling it the fortune telling wagon. I added a show floor for magical shows under the tent. You can have any kind of show you want though. If you use Nraas debug you can assign a simfest all day with it. The wagon works fine with the lot labeled a live show venue and your sim can have the career if you wish.

    Pere’s Silly Sideshow is such a fun and wonderfully cheerful build @bekkasan ! It’s even more impressive in game! I love the little garden at the rear which is like an enchanted oasis amidst all the colourful energy. Also that ticket booth at front and the dressing room at the rear … so whimsical. What a great use of specialty decor objects inside and out. Such a unique lot. Well done! 🌸🌟
  • bekkasanbekkasan Posts: 10,171 Member

    @soocoolsim Thank you so much for the lovely comments and for visiting my thread! :smiley::heart: I enjoyed building this venue and the first time I did such a large tent.

    I've been working on the dive bar when I've had a few minutes and I'm just about to finish the inside.

    A lovely day to play chess outdoors on a very unique table.

    If you are having trouble financially, dumpster diving can help buy a meal or two.
    52333677196_933fea2029_o.jpg

    A favorite activity at the tavern is bronco riding. It is recommended to have a celebratory cup of juice after the ride, not before.

    Bubbles, bubbles! The tavern has bubbles.
    52332722747_e30876c0e0_o.jpg

    Considering the crowds, the tavern has two bars available.

    What a fun and detailed tavern! Love the testing pics and chuckled at some of the descriptions. So many great activities and I love the themed feature areas. The exterior pics have an interesting look. Are you using a lighting mod? So cool. A wonderful addition to DMK. Well done @bekkasan ! 🌸🌟

    @soocoolsim Thank you! I have two folders for DMK. One with no cc and the other with the lighting mod and some of the builds. I do one final walkthrough in the folder with the lighting mod and take my pictures in it. I use my sims eyes for the details they see. lol...I spotted a corner floor tile that was empty. I went back to the no cc folder after taking pictures, fixed that tile and upload that version. The sky has a grayish tone in the empty world so I quit using it for the pictures. :grin: I'm from Florida and too used to bright blue skies. :heart:
  • soocoolsimsoocoolsim Posts: 6,260 Member
    Aha. I also have two versions of DMK… one as a showcase for the finished builds, and the other to build in. 😀
  • SandraelleSandraelle Posts: 6,146 Member
    @bekkasan, I enjoyed looking at your pictures of Tortuga Tavern and then exploring the lot once I got it in game. It looks great and I love all the fun themed decor objects you used. Especially your front landscaped section and the little corner vignette with all the treasures. A fun place for simmies to hang out and eat. Great that you included the bucking bronco as well for an added fun activity.

    I know what you mean about blue skies. I'm from Arizona and we are the sunniest state in the U.S. and have the prettiest blue skies, so I appreciate your lighting mod you used. :)
  • bekkasanbekkasan Posts: 10,171 Member

    @Sandraelle Thanks! I'm happy you got a chance to explore it.
    I've visited Arizona a few times, mostly as a kid, but once as an adult. I love it out there. I definitely try to recreate a bit of Florida tropics in my weather patterns...except for hurricanes. Those are not allowed!
