    Love the thread :) These are so helpful. Will probably grab a few of these when I'm ready , I don't know that i wantto build many on my own for this world. Everything looks great.

    @ Aznsensei I wonder if it'd be a good idea to make a Master thread for these world sharing threads, maybe you could get that stickied, it'd be great to not have to hunt down the other ones.

    Hi Krimsonnox,

    I will definitely link all of those in my first post =D

    I made a cute little house for AS. It's small, but has 2 bedrooms and a bath. http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7032033

    I have a question. When I want to do screenshots of each season on a festival lot, do I Ctrl+Shift click the season and wait a day for the change?

    I am working on another lot for a festival grounds in AS, The Blue Lagoon.
    Nothing to see. I don't even care about the forums.

    I did a major remodel of 57 Velkominn Road, Inberg residence (25x50 lot). When you start a new game, they are a family of 3 Mom, dad and son. Mom, Iris, is pregnant again so this is a perfect family to start playing with and use all the toddler stuff as well as the recent Lullabies set that was released a couple of weeks ago. This turned out to be a really great house and could be used anywhere in Aurora Skies. I knocked out some of the upper level to make an outside sitting area with a BBQ Grill and telescope. The house also has a man cave complete with the games. The upstairs master suite also includes the sauna, massage table, exercise equipment, etc. The rooms are super large and roomy and the bathrooms are also spacious.

    EA actually did a great job of making Iris, she is a really pretty.

    :oops: I found a mistake on my lot. I'm so sorry. It's a small cosmetic error. Just two tiles that didn't get deleted. So, if you don't want to redownload, please delete the two tiles circled in the pic, below.

    Since I had to reupload the corrected lot, I decided to add a bit of landscaping to improve the lot, a little bit. So if you want to redownload, you'll be rewarded with a slightly better lot.

    AznSensei: I'll leave the old picture and lot up for a little while, until you get a chance to change them out, so you won't have any broken links.

    I am not familiar with the that part of the world, I did look up some images of residences that is suppose to be from that area and started building homes. I am really bothered by the boxes with no real definition, and was telling some of my simming friends about that. So I was challenged to use only the base game and Aurora Skies assets to create a residential lot for the world. I was allowed to use Ambitions laundry stuff too. :)

    There are at least 3 complete laundry sets in the store, washer, dryer, misc decor items. So laundry at least counts as part of the base game now. :)

    I do most of my builds with only base game stuff too. Its a lot easier if you have a 2nd PC you can install just The Sims 3 on. I've got a laptop that's not beefy enough to actually play games, but I can build just fine so I use that. Then copy the lots or sims to my main PC if I want to add something from a specific EP. Doing it that way helps keep "phantom EPs" out of the exchange.

    Oh yeah, and your house looks great. Keep up the good work.

    Here is my version of the Competitor's Delight Stadium with a few additions to make it more fun/useful. I changed the lot to "Visitor's Allowed". I added a team bench, two soccer goals, a ticket "sales" booth, a seasonal concession stand (set to change with each season) and a restroom with a shower.

    The restroom (with the shower) is on the backside of this building. The entrance to it is inside the fence.

    This stadium is a rabbit hole that comes with Aurora Skies. You must own AS for the stadium to show up in your game :D

    I wanted a karaoke bar/live venue that fits into Aurora Skies better than EA's Mick's. It is a simple (and not very large) building placed at 90 Edgewood Ave. I don't know if the spiral staircase or public speakers (I set them to Indie) will need to be reset. I play tested this lot for several sim days. The mixologist and proprietor showed up within a day. I did not encounter any stamping feet/routing issues, but I did not play test it during a Simfest. If you discover any issues with this lot during game play, please let me know at my creative thread - http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/628651.page :D

    I am working on another lot for a festival grounds in AS, The Blue Lagoon.

    I'd probably do that, unless you don't mind the grid marks on there, then just go into build/buy mode and shift + click the seasonal lot marker.

    I love this thread! :D :thumbup:

    Just thought I would let people know I have finished my revamp of the Tiny Prodigies venue, if anyone would like to add it to their world! I am really looking forward to using this venue in my own game, it is going to be great when my current couple have their first baby to get him/her ready for like at university :mrgreen:

    For some reason the Store items lists the Blackjack Table as being part of the lot however I have not used this item on this lot at all so it is certainly not required! I know a lot of people do not own the Sweet Treat stuff pack, I have used a few items from the pack though it really is only about three or four decorative pieces so it really is no loss to anyone that does not own that particular pack. Other than that my revamp does use quite a lot of content particularly from Generations and several child orientated Store sets!

    Here are a few photos, apologies for the poor quality....

    Better pictures can be found in this thread here, I am going to try and add some better pictures of the lot in action tomorrow.

    If you decide to download it I hope you enjoy, I am looking forward to seeing the rest of people's creations ^_^

    Thanks again AznSensei for creating this thread it is very useful! :-)

    ETA-This lot is third party CC free!

    I present Klokveins Tavern.
    Old World on the outside newly renovated on the inside, Come relax at Klokveins Tavern, your local watering hole.

    Screenshot-244_zpse36feccc.jpg

    There is a pooltable,fooseball,darts, and a place for aspiring musicians to show the crowd what they got! Restrooms are on the second floor, unfortunately they have not been modernized quite yet. :wink:

    Screenshot-245_zpsd33812f6.jpg

    Screenshot-246_zpsc6032d97.jpg

    In the back are a couple spots to play a game of horseshoes!

    Screenshot-249_zps61149b89.jpg

    This is a 20x30 lot that because of the way it's landscaped, looks best when placed on the empty lot at 42 Lupine Lane behind the Day Household. It will of course fit on any 20x30 lot as well.

    There is no 3rd party CC used, but there is alot of items from Late Night. The pool table is from Showtime, and so is some of the decor. I do have all Ep's and Sp's (cept the KP SP.) But I did try to stick to mostly base game,Late night and some showtime stuff.

    NOTE- this lot has been play tested by me several times to make sure there was no routing issues with sims getting to the different items. There are two cars in parking spaces on the lot. You can just go into buy/build and delete them once the lot is placed. Sorry about that. There is only a piano,drums and guitar on the stage (I removed the base after the pic was taken) because for whatever reason I just could not get a sim to play the base instrunment no matter where I put it. Again I'm sorry :(. You could also easily replace the instrunments entirely with the kareoke machine if you have that.
    Also for some reason, the ghost couple seems to love this lot. Every time I had a sim visit, one or both would show up!

    I also have Home Sweet Holm Consignments.
    When the new owners opened a consignment shop in the old home they purchased, most townsfolk think they are just selling the old junk the former owners left behind!

    This is a redo of the Residental House at 86 Edgewood ave next to the gym by the school. I thought it was too small for a house but perfect for a consignment store.

    First Floor
    Screenshot-250_zpsb7ae25c6.jpg

    Second floor

    Screenshot-251_zpsa5b901f1.jpg

    Note- if you want a consignment store that has things to do for your sims, this lot isn't for you. Basicaly the whole place is just full of random deco items. The only thing to do on this lot is buy/consign items and pee. :mrgreen: I like my consignment stores simple, as I generally just want to get in, consign my stuff and get out.

    If you do like the lot, just bulldoze the current home sweet holms lot, change it to a commercial lot and place this one down.
    No 3rd party CC used. I do have all EP's and SP's except the KP one, and have a ton of store content. I was not picky when choosing items for this lot as it's pretty much all deco items. So if you are missing EP's or SP's or don't shop the store, it's likely items will be missing if you download this lot.

    Just gotta say, I'm really impressed with all the creations everyone has submitted. This is the first world I've really gotten into building with. In the past, I've just been a thread lurker downloading all the cool stuff!

    GreenCats do your sims have any 3rd party CC or use slider mods? I've never downloaded sims before because I'm scared to get 3rd party cc attached to them. But I REALLY like your sims!!
