    Definite sound and water motion. The sound didn't cutout. I am just not very good with video uploading. LOL

    Ok I just checked the waterfalls, they are a decor object, so there’s no gameplay attached to them, they just look (very) cool.
    But then this is a kit, so I wasn’t really expecting new gameplay.
    Oh, the drink tray is usable!

    If their decor then how does that explain the pics and another simmer says they have sound.

    No, I meant you can’t click on them/ interact with them. They have an animation though, with water running on them and sound.

    Oh good. Hopefully we'll get one in the expansion sims can play under.

    The new Maxis builds. I placed them both in Tartosa. They're currently both categorized as residential.

    My plan was to make this a rental but there are no living quarters. Hopefully I'll be able to add living quarters to the second floor.
    Or wait for someone else to do it. :D

    The pool house would make a lovely wedding venue. 😍

    Oh awesome @simgirl1010 I was just going to post and ask if anyone had some bistro builds. I was just too lazy to go into game right now and check out the gallery.

    @DaniRose2143 yes, it would.

    @Bluegayle these are pretty nice builds. Allows you to jump right in and start playing.

    On second thought I'm not going to attempt to build a livable second floor. I think I'll just convert some of the existing enclosed areas.

    Thank you @Bleugayle. It's completely different. :o
    Boxart Bowl is almost as high as the chairs, ingame bowl is much lower down. It's a squashed down version of Boxart Bowl. I prefer the big medieval one...

    @EA_Cade would you be able to shed some light on the situation please? I believe something similar ocurred when the Industrial Loft kit was released.

    To be fair nothing wrong with this version either maybe see it more in palace than fort though

    OMG thank you @simgirl1010 So many choices already. <3 I may end up with a Bistro Hood if I'm not careful.
    @Simmingal I think it would be great for a castle too.

    Awww, I remember making TS3 bistro back in 2019 when I remade a whole bunch of Lots from that game for TS4. Here it is, I could update it if/when I get the bistro kit... those ground floor doors and windows definitely need replacing lol and we didn't have the correct roof back then.

    I wish we could get them on the Library directly instead of having to download them from Gallery…I miss the original Sims 4 characters like Babs L'Amour that were always on the Library section of the Gallery but were optional to download to our game saves. :/ Maxis used to put some premade lots for new packs on the Library before but now we need to download them from Gallery instead…

    I just made a bar venue from the Cozy Bistro, that I call Roaring 1920s Bistro. I saved it in the Gallery under my username SEREFRAS if anyone is interested in seeing it & maybe downloading it for their own play. ;)

    Great idea to have this as a residential lot. A rental lot would be good to. I have it as a pool lot so it attracts lots of sims and it did just that.

    I thought that 3 tile seat in the bistro kit was a new dining booth for a restaurant but no option to eat came up. I just put the seat in the waiting room area. I don't know if it makes a difference but I was using a 2 tile table. I'll try again later with a 3 tile table.

    It is a restaurant booth. Maybe your table wasn't placed properly for it to count as seating at a table? My impression was that the tables didn't slot as easily as with other type booths.
