Good! In that case,  I think I will try and remodel a house. I am glad I read through all the House of Fail threads. I wouldn't have known about Awesomespec otherwise. I really want to try and make a home with this in mind. It seems like it would really make a huge difference.

Awesomespecs is good. The only thing I change about awesomespecs in my own houses I make (although I upload the proper thing to here) is, I remove the wall to the stairs as I don't care if visitors traipse about upstairs and I place desks in the kids rooms for their homework. Sometimes I remove/move the fences too from the front of the lot and just pave everywhere.

@eevilcat; good! If no-one else picks a house then we will use that one. Whoever wants to submit a house for next month, go ahead and do it. 19 Chorus Court can be a stand-by.

I just realised that I haven't changed the letter box. 

Are your sims hungry?

Send them here!



With an organic garden providing most of the food prepared fresh for you, why eat anywhere else?



Are you a smoker?  Need to get fresh air?  We have plenty of outdoor seating for you and your friends.



Have a drink and relax at the bar.



Our booths are nicely padded for your eating pleasure.

It's not playtested yet - I suspect the corner booth may have issues.  The nightclub room needs to have transparent tiles on the ceiling to make it look better.  As before, I forgot the letterbox -> phone thing, so you'll have to do that.  But I did remember to put something other than carpet in the bathroom!

Also, I don't know why people are so against comm lots.  And when I said "make a rule that comm must stay comm", I mean it as in we make rules about decking and fireplaces and foundations, so why not, for one lot, make a rule about it's zoning.

Swirlicular booths are an extremely BAD design in TS2. If a sim sits at a swirlicular booth, it will be trapped in the spot and unable to get out (or possibly even in to begin with), and any plates that spawn from a waiter tray into the inner spot will be unaccessible. therefore, if you use a booth seat, you must make sure that sims are able to actually reach the plates.

The sims using booth seats sort of jump out, but plates can't be cleaned up when more than a 1x1 size table is used. Even using a 2x1 table like this:

   bb
b t t b

-doesn't work as they can't lean across the table to grab plates for some strange reason. I shift-click-force error-delete stuck plates. Mind you, if someone else sits in the place where the plate isn't cleaned then their meal just goes on top of the dirty plate. Not a big issue in a restaurant really. It is if you use booths in a residential lot that it can become a problem.

They can't reach across the table, but they can reach over corners, so plan accordingly. While the plates do no immediate harm, they will prevent cleanup, and if enough such swirlicular tables are used, they will eventually become disgruntled by the flies.

Booths used in homes that cause no stuck plates/diners can be:

  b
b t

-and that's it. Better off placing a 1x1 table and sticking 4 chairs around it.

Ugh.  Why give us the tools to make booths if they fail anyway?

The only cleanup problem I've found was after I put a couple of kitchen cabinet/bar tiles facing a wall.  Sims could reach the plates on B2 but not B1 which was wide open, but when I shifted it down from the corner it worked.

...bad............good
...|..............|
...|_____.........|_______
...B1 B2.............B1 B2

Anyway, I like the way the community lot conversions turned out.

I'm trying to decide between a dorm or a hotel for my next one.  I want to try to get one more in this month.  At least with dorms you can re-zone them to residential if you're not dormy.

An hotel.  Grin

I don't play University, so from sheer self-interest I'd have to say build a hotel.

I did a renovation of 111 Stratford St. for one of my 'hoods, around the time that BV came out.  It can be made eminently liveable, although I don't think I adhered to the "don't move the original walls" rule.  It also has certain features that suit it (in unmodified form) mainly to 'hoods without winter.  It would be fun to have a go at it again.  It would also make a nice comm lot or business lot.

I'd just like to point out that the Pleasantview house was the very first House of Fail. 111 Stratford Street would be very interesting though. I'd love to see what people do with that corridor.

oops..sorry about that, I should have double checked the posts first..

I was going to post that farm house up on the hill in Riverblossom Hill as a suggestion, but unsure of who has what EP's, I stuck to base game hoods

111 Stratford Street looks like a good choice. I'd like to suggest that, in addition to the usual limits, the outdoor tiled areas & garden are kept in situ but should be restyled.

Oh, that's a good idea!  As long as we can build around them and potentially turn them into a courtyard or indoor tiled area, I'm all for it.  I can has ideas!

  I give you 130 Sim Lane.


  No nursery this time and I left much area open for your own skilling preferences.  It is lightly play tested, mostly to check routes and other arrangements.   I wish that the mannequins were redressable, but I am satisfied with the overall effect.


  Submitting now before I change something,yet again, which leads to more changes which in turn leads to even more changes.  I know that there will be just one more thing that I want to fix no matter what so I am stepping away and saying Done.

 More pictures.
