More Awesome Than You!

I just came back to the game after a really long hiatus and after getting sick of Bridgeport, I went back to my old fave, Riverview. I'm currently in the process of converting old homes into bars and clubs that fit in with the town. I converted the trailer home "Low Water" on 50 Ely Road into a Dive Bar to fit in with the low-income look of that part of town. It turned out pretty decent IMHO, so I thought I'd see if anyone else would want it in their game.

In an attempt to make the place look as low-key and low-budget as possible, I went easy on the decorating, so the lot is pretty light on CC (3 deco items from MTS and 1 store item) and I ended up only using items from the base game, AMB, and LN. The only thing I changed on the outside was the color of the siding and the decks. Other than that, the original exterior is intact. I tore down the walls inside, so the bar is pretty open with just one unisex restroom with 2 stalls. For entertainment, there's the bar, a stage w/ instruments, one arcade game, a foosball table, darts, and a small TV with benches on the back porch.

I have all EP/SP's and I'm fully patched up to 1.22, but as I said earlier, I only used items from the base game, AMB, and LN, if that matters.

CC recommended but not required*:
Cigarettes and ashtray by lemoncandy at MTS (http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=373503)

The Never-Spill Bucket Store item (I can't remember which set it's from.)

*I used Delphy's CUSTARD to clean the lot but It's My First Day, so please let me know if that attempt was full of fail.

Any other feedback would also be greatly appreciated. I'm also working on rebuilding "The Water Hole Juice Bar" to a LN-compatible Watering Hole, from the ground-up, converting the warehousey-looking pool into a dance club, and converting the rowhouse "Plum Place" to an antiquey consignment store, so if there's any interest, I could upload those, too, when done.

I am always looking for SMALLER lots for the various bars and clubs. The ones that came with LN are just way too big. Thank you for this. I will install it today and test it out.

This is a really good job. I was upset that the only club Late Night gives you to actually put into neighborhoods is that big Waylon's Bar or something. I'm playing Riverview now so this will be perfect. Thank you!

I probably shouldn't have decrapified this, but I was doing a bulk lot with the Gothique stuff. Anyway, it shows in the library as an unnamed file that cannot be placed. I will try with an uncrapified version.

I actually decrapify all my lots, and put them in the Library folder in .package format. Haven't tried it with this lot, but it generally works fine.

Is there any downside to decrapifying when it isn't needed?

No. If you decrapify a house with no crapified content, absolutely nothing happens.
