Notes:
I had an idea for a small wedding themed rustic mini mall in barn, mixing the mall theme with the furniture store option ....it totally didn't work, but it somehow morphed and grew into this very girly build! I haven't done much retail, and pink isn't really my thing - I had great fun haha, thank you for the challenge @luckyheather ! I built in Magnolia Promenade but the palm tree in the gallery pic irritated me so it got moved to Brindleton Bay. (In playtest I realised no one could buy the dresses so I removed the raised displays and put the mannequins on the floor, but I don't have time to redo all the screenshots, sorry!)
So welcome to the one stop Wedding Planner Mall....find everything you need for your big day all in one beautiful location. On the ground level you can choose your dress, your flowers and your cake, then it's upstairs to meet with your wedding planner and look around the displays to choose the theme for the event. After all the shopping is done, relax in the gardens with a cup of tea or celebrate with a glass of wine (or two!)
The Wedding Planner Mall is such a very beautiful build! @AliSim19 It is very lovely!Very pretty exterior design,pink color, patterned windows, glass roofing m blossoms,floral arches and large water fountain!Very lovely outdoors areas! Sims will enjoy having food and drinks from the food stall and bar counter and having them at the tables. Very lovely layout and furnishing of each of the interior areas! The models look very nice in their wedding outfits. Very nice shop area with the cute heart teddies , pretty floral wreaths, flowers on the wall and the variety of lovely flowers! Very nice wedding cakes area! The upstairs themed wedding areas are very nice! Sims will enjoy working out their wedding details there.
It is a very special wedding mall! Thank you very much for using my art! You used it so lovely!
Thank you so much for your lovely review @rosemow i nearly made myself late for work trying to get this up today because I knew I don’t have much time the rest of the week, then it was a pretty tough day....your attention to detail & kind comments have just made me smile so much, a beautiful end to a very long day, thank you
Well @AliSim19 you really did an amazing Wedding Mall, 'The Wedding Planner Mall' is a stunning building both outside and inside! I am not into pink but this I Love its got all Sims need for beautiful Weddings and all displayed so well in each area. I love the indoor seating area and the Cakes! Cake testing is way better than canteen food! The florist is so pretty and the clothing display so gorgeous, I cant find a better word than beautiful The gardens are so pretty and perfect for a drink and rest while thinking about their wedding plans. I am so pleased you enjoyed the challenge, stunning work all round.

Notes: Welcome To Ikea your number one shop for your furniture needs. I went with mostly Base Game items. i needed tons of items for this build lol. There is some items from other packs in the not for sale areas. base game doesn't cater to my tastes for decor. most the art is from the gallery. I loved the Idea of making a showroom and then just decided to go for an Ikea. There are over 70 Pictures there will be a link below to see the whole gallery if you would like. I'm just posting some of my favorite rooms and areas.
Thanks to All these lovely people for their art: Juwels64, Babewire, Mags6002, @AlJay , @Taoron , @rosemow , FruitLoops40, Mbarnet, Nat052970, PinkoMoon, SimSationalToo, and FruitLoops40. I really hope I didn't forget anyone.
Your IKEA store is such a very great store! @Pepper61 It is so very detailed and lovely! Each of the rooms and areas have been designed and furnished so very well! Very creatively nice themed rooms and the store room areas with many of the same items together looks very great!! Very nice design of the checkout area! The carpark area and roads are great! It was lovely looking at the slideshow of all the pictures. Thankyou very much for using my art!
I am so sorry that you can’t upload it
Thank you so much @luckyheather I’m not into pink either haha, kind of grew on its own this one! I had a canteen area behind the cake store, and originally a burger van in the garden, but neither seemed to work once everything went really girly so I thought putting out bakery tasters would cover it - glad you think that was ok!
Thank you too @coolsim9999999 i’ll look forward to seeing your entry
@luckyheather I love your Hygge store, the displays look just right and match perfectly with the building - I’d shop there!
@shakerella what a gorgeous mall! I was so surprised it was a 30x20, your proportions are great and your stores are lovely too - very nicely done!
@Taoron So sorry to hear you’ve been poorly 😕 Really hope you’re much better now and back to real food 🤞🤞🤞 your superstore is fab, I love your display rooms and such a good choice to do cats & dogs. It’s always the little things that get me though, that delivery truck at the back is a genius touch, adore it!
@Pepper61 Wow, just wow - that Ikea is immense and so detailed, it must have taken you forever!! Such a shame it won’t upload because it looks fantastic, it deserves to be shared! (Know it won’t be quite the same but maybe you could remove/swap some of the NoCC art out, I’m sure I’ve read that that’s what takes up some much file space)
@Pepper61 - try removing some of the paintings done by other players as they increase file size exponentially. Max limit is 10Mb to upload. Your Ikea looks gorgeous
The IKEA store just blows the mind away!!! @Pepper61 Fantastic Store and each room so well done Im sorry it will not upload but I agree with Gwiniel take out some paintings and try again. I had that with an Art Gallery so thats what I did and it uploaded still with loads of Gallery Art.
I also think you should upload some of the rooms on their own I love the Red Office, Sunflower Room, Love Bedroom, Pretty Dining, Pretty Living room, just a few examples im sure simmers would download lots of the rooms alone
The outside is stunning as well, fantastic car park! We can all see how much work and love you put into your IKEA, thanks for your entry its amazing.
2. This mall may be micro/mini, but it’s 4 stores are macro in size! Inside, find a toy store with a display train set outside the store, a laundry appliance and accessory store, a wallpaper store and a computer store, along with a café/bakery, and restrooms. Outside, children can enjoy swinging in the strip mall’s landscaped outdoor seating area. There is a parking lot, car park trolley and taxi included, as well. Screenshots:
thank you all so very much for the advice!! i got it up in the Gallery!!! it ws 30mb lol i think i got it down to 9. super sad i had to get rid of most of the gallery art. some still remains. hope you can download and tour it yourself. it is a 64/64 lot
I am very glad that you were able to upload your special IKEA furniture store to the Gallery! @Pepper61 That is very great! You put so much work and details into creating this very lovely store! It is a very creatively great store build!
Oh, that's awesome @Pepper61 ! I'll look at it as soon as I get my photos of my mall up! I'm so happy for you!
@luckyheather --- I have to re-upload my lot in the gallery --- because as I was taking screenshots, I noticed that one small, but important detail was missing!

Macro Micro Mini Mall @coolsim9999999 is a great Mall with more than I expected when I saw the imgur screenshots Fantastic kids areas, love the bright coloured room and seeing kids enjoying 'testing' the toys before parents buy them Stunning Cafe/Bakery with the black and white flooring with Pop of golden yellow, really stands out! I Love all the cars in the car park, if only we could sell them too. Thanks for your great entry coolsim

Notes:
1. This particular 64X64 lot is Center Park in San Myshuno, and so, it's technically generic. However, I have cash registers in each store and in the cafe too - so it works as retail if you want to place the 64X64 mall on a different lot in your game --- and set it to retail.
2. This mall may be micro/mini, but it’s 4 stores are macro in size! Inside, find a toy store with a display train set outside the store, a laundry appliance and accessory store, a wallpaper store and a computer store, along with a café/bakery, and restrooms. Outside, children can enjoy swinging in the strip mall’s landscaped outdoor seating area. There is a parking lot, car park trolley and taxi included, as well.
