Sul Sul simmers.
Welcome to my cosy corner of the internet,
I thought I'd start a showcase here as my kids are growing up and have less time to listen to mum hammering on about my latest creations.
My gallery Id is Divapixie.
I don't use CC when building.

well, that's enough chatter from me.
Happy browsing.

*note my family shares the account to play. so if it doesn't have a divapixie hashtag in the description then I didn't build it.

Pinecrest Apartments #402 renovation

I had a lot of fun renovating the smallest apartment in the game.
I made it a 1 bed 1 bath to give the couple I have in mind for it plenty of space

Hi @Divapixie I love your 'Grift N Grill' lot the Vibe is perfect and the colours on the containers really adds to the place

plus the play things for the children is just what they need.

The Apartment looks very pretty and cozy, great wardrobe by the way and I like how you added a desk into the bedroom with nice screens, cool ideas.

The Apartment #402 renovation you can add to the gallery as 1 big room, if you do what I do

Each room you need to delete 1 wall I do where the door is, put a piece of wall out of the room and add the door and wall cover each side, then just lift it into its space again. Do that with each room, then as a Room Save click on a wall thats on an outer wall thats inside, and all the apartment becomes 1 if you did all the rooms

I hope that helps, not all players know this I have done it for years so I like to tell people.

@luckyheather Thank you. The screens are one of my favourite tricks for small spaces

Thank you. I didn't know about lifting one piece of wall back into the space. I usually just leave the gap. I didn't do it with this build as I have this weird glitch that won't let me lower the platform I used in the bedroom back to its original level.

Hi @Divapixie I have heard that platforms can cause problems in apartments, I have only used them in houses I think so far but I know they can be a bit weird at times. I wish they would fix them and the round walls with roofing.

Yes a lot of people leave a gap, I tried my way by accident and found it worked

Plus if you make a Tiny home you can make a room without a floor by doing that little cheat to add a room on the side of a house and then pull roof over it

If theres no floor it has no tile count and you can still add flooring its just in the day the room is darker but lights work at night just fine. I have also made a greenhouse or shed that way for a tiny house, I even had a Maxis Fave with a Tiny house with a cheated shed for a Juice fizzing machine, so they dont mind as its not a mod.

910 Medina Studios renovation NoCC

Trashbag legacy build

Viewing apartments was making Plastic Trashbag feel all squirmy inside. They were too clean and all those windows didn't help the constant feeling that she was being watched. She longed to go back to the Grift 'n' Grill but mum had insisted it was time to stand on her own two feet.

"It's not right" she sighed as the landlord looked at her expectantly "Just show me the apartment no one else wants"
"I have got something else that might suit you. But it's not exactly an apartment" He grinned.
A few moments later Plastic found herself in the block's maintenance room. "It's perfect" She agreed to let the landlord keep some of his tools in the room and he agreed to let her spruce up the place however she liked.
A few days of hard work and a couple of trips back to the Grift n Grill was all plastic needed to make the place feel like home.

Great apartment @Divapixie I love it and no doubt Plastic does too

you even managed to use the rug I really like with the face on it and the side tables next to the bed with the stars and moon on look so good there, I dont think I have used that swatch yet, great work

I love that rug, it gets pulled out and tried for a lot of builds but I can rarely make it work as anything other than a bathmat in a teen's bathroom.

Very great design of Grift n Grill!

The layout is great and the furnishings used reflect the theme very well. The renovation of Pinecrest Apartments #402 is lovely, and very nice industrial style renovation of 910 Medina Studios
