Title: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: cwieberdink on 2006 May 28, 10:18:41 http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=160861 (http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=160861)
The perfect home for sim JM. The description from MTS2 reads: Quote Maybe you're paranoid (or maybe 'they' actually are out to get you). Maybe you need a quiet place to plot your world-domination schemes. Or maybe you're a five-star general who's outgrown life in the Quonset Hut... Whatever your reasons, you will finally feel safe in Bunker 7. This austere mountain retreat perches high above a gorge on enormous concrete pylons, giving you unique views with unobstructed firing lines. The walls are concrete, 1 meter thick, and can withstand the blast of a nuclear explosion. Access is by stealth stairs. Inside this haven of safety, a cozy single floor is subdivided into a living area, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. So stop worrying about the upcoming apocalypse! Instead, move your guns and your family into Bunker 7! At $48,830, it's a small price for peace of mind! Bunker 7 sits on a 3x4 lot. c Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 May 28, 10:20:41 Hehe. I like his description, but I still like Emma's bunker better.
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 May 28, 11:16:30 Eh, that's actually not so good. en7en should stick to pagodas, bunkers are clearly not his thing: I could demolish that with nothing more than a backpack's worth of C4, and can easily approach that position from the blind spots and cover available. Clearly the man knows nothing about how to design fortifications.
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 12:20:29 Doesn't appear to be an underground nuclear shelter which would be much use!
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: TaWanda on 2006 May 28, 15:35:44 I like Enzens stuff, have several of his Pagodas, but that bunker sure looks like a parking garage at one of the minimalls in my area :D
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 15:43:13 Or a diy store!
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 May 28, 15:45:40 I like Enzens stuff, have several of his Pagodas, but that bunker sure looks like a parking garage at one of the minimalls in my area :D Meh, did you honestly expect the pagoda-man to know anything about bunkers?Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 15:50:35 When do we get to see the one YOUR Pescado-sim lives in, JM? I mean, I'm sure you've added your own little embellishments to the original....
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 28, 17:22:49 Hehe. I like his description, but I still like Emma's bunker better. Thanks hun :-* I saw this earlier, it looks more like a pillbox :D I like the way it is built though, even though it is far too high up to be secluded. Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 May 28, 17:29:31 When do we get to see the one YOUR Pescado-sim lives in, JM? I mean, I'm sure you've added your own little embellishments to the original.... I don't know if LIVES is the right word, but here is where my sim presently resides. It's a small image, and no, you don't get to see the insides, because it's an owned lot and thus cannot be visited by casual clicking, but here:(http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/crapola/pyramid.jpg) Maybe the next time I visit it, I might deign to photograph some more of it. If I remember. Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 28, 17:38:54 It looks like a roof :D
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 May 28, 17:40:25 It looks like a roof :D Pssh. Shows what dumb Emma-type-people know.Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 28, 17:41:25 How many bathrooms does it have Pes? :P
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: kewian on 2006 May 28, 17:43:46 Actually...I beleive that might be a pryamid type dwelling.
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 May 28, 17:43:55 How many bathrooms does it have Pes? :P Bathrooms, or terlets? There aren't any actual bathrooms, but there *IS* a line of 12 terlets for the afterlife.Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 17:47:08 Well, it's got a nice dark roof! But we'd love to see inside!
These are interior views of my latest house, which is an attempt to recreate the Apple Barn form the cat who... books. I don't have an exterior view available at the moment, I'll have to take a few shots. Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 28, 17:52:23 How many bathrooms does it have Pes? :P Bathrooms, or terlets? There aren't any actual bathrooms, but there *IS* a line of 12 terlets for the afterlife.Pfft no bathrooms? Thats terrible :D Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 17:58:47 Well, it is a bunker after all! No doubt he uses Inge's apartment sink so they can all autonomously have a strip wash in their
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 May 28, 18:04:45 Pfft no bathrooms? Thats terrible :D When you're dead, you never have to pee. Keep in mind my neighborhood is nearly as old as TS2 itself and I was created way back in the original game. I've been dead for a very long time now. That's my tomb. You people aren't very sharp.Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 18:12:15 And you never felt the urge to get resurrected?
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2006 May 28, 18:13:00 And you never felt the urge to get resurrected? Necromancy is bad, m'kay?Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 18:15:16 Very true - and back then you didn't have the opportunity to become immortal!
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: kewian on 2006 May 28, 19:25:05 i told yall it was a pyramid...jeesh! ::)
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 19:33:42 You mean Pescado-Sim is a MUMMY???!!! :o
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 28, 22:04:14 Pfft no bathrooms? Thats terrible :D When you're dead, you never have to pee.

You people aren't very sharp.Ohh nice idea though-a mausoleum! I might just do that for some of my long-established sims when they finally snuff it :) Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 22:05:24 I must admit, though, I'd have thought he'd have preferred a crypt!
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 28, 22:07:03 Nah, too above-ground for him :D
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 28, 22:10:16 Or maybe just too churchified? After all, I suppose if you're a god, you want something that's just for you! Me, I'm surprised he didn't create his own Taj Mahal!

Is this what you had in mind? Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 29, 08:38:55 This looks more like it! I was think of the place where the British Government planned to run the resistance from in WWII if we lost the war. I can't remember what it was called, or I'd google it!
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 30, 11:22:43 Wasn't it 'Codename Paddock' ?
Don't quite know how I know that........ :D Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 30, 11:24:52 Might have been.......
You're right, as usual, Emma! http://www.stadiumha.org.uk/data/network-assocation/data/bunker/html/about-bunker.html (http://www.stadiumha.org.uk/data/network-assocation/data/bunker/html/about-bunker.html) http://freespace.virgin.net/roy.smith5/paddock.htm (http://freespace.virgin.net/roy.smith5/paddock.htm) http://www.nyclondon.com/blog/archives/2004/09/19/churchills_secret_underground_bunker_paddock.blog (http://www.nyclondon.com/blog/archives/2004/09/19/churchills_secret_underground_bunker_paddock.blog) Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 30, 11:32:23 Haha! I must have been paying attention in History ;D Actually that was my favourite lesson at school, so it makes sense that something stuck :)
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 30, 11:37:05 http://century20war.co.uk/ (http://century20war.co.uk/)
Here's another one. It was still a bit too close to WW2 when I was at school for it to have reached the history syllabus! I only know what I do from what I've been told or read or seen on TV and the old newsreels. Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 30, 11:40:18 Wow, interesting! It looks absolutely tiny, I wonder how Churchill managed to get up and down those narrow spiral stairs! He was quite a big fella :D
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 30, 11:45:00 It says he used the main staircase.
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Emma on 2006 May 30, 19:17:06 Ah. That will teach me to read the whole article before posting ;)
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 30, 20:53:24 I have wierd visions of the cigar appearing round a corner of the stairwell and a couple of hefty marines arriving with ropes and pulleys! ;D
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 May 31, 00:04:50 I have wierd visions of the cigar appearing round a corner of the stairwell and a couple of hefty marines arriving with ropes and pulleys! ;D You mean the vicar? Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: Jysudo on 2006 May 31, 01:39:53 And you never felt the urge to get resurrected? Necromancy is bad, m'kay?Jeez, I never know you are long dead. I always thought you are a vampire and immortal.. :-\ Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 31, 01:47:00 I have wierd visions of the cigar appearing round a corner of the stairwell and a couple of hefty marines arriving with ropes and pulleys! ;D You mean the vicar? No, cigar - Churchill - cigar? Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: BlueSoup on 2006 May 31, 01:53:08 No idea what you're talking about, but I get the idea.
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 31, 01:58:43 Well, I'll try and explain. I have visions of Churchill being stuck on this spiral staircase in the WWII Bunker, with only his cigar visible, and a couple of marines coming to the rescue.
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: MsMaria on 2006 May 31, 03:59:06 Blue, Winston Churchill was fat and he loved cigars. :)
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: kacidama on 2006 May 31, 17:48:56 How did the vicar get there?
Title: Re: Perfect home for your JM sim Post by: ZephyrZodiac on 2006 May 31, 18:10:32 I think Blue thought I'd made a typo (cigar = vicar) and it was the vicar who was stuck on the spiral staircase!
