Another Build - Polish Apartments [CC]

Last day of Easter holidays was very productive. I thought that I need some Polish touch in my BACC. I sat down and built my new flats.

It's not the building in pastel colors like the one where I'm currently living as a human, not Sim version of myself but I think it gives ✨Polish vibes✨

On the background there is a small playground. In Poland they are mostly in front of the building but I didn't plan it too well so...

I didn't furnish the apartments because I thought that furnishing 24 units would kill my soul so it's up to you how the interior will look like. I only left lightning in halls and some garbage chutes.

On every floor in every block there are two apartments with two bedrooms and big living room and one apartment with one bedroom.

The floorplan:

I didn't know what to do with the back of the building so it just looks like that:

And how the whole hood look like:

My BACC looks better and better.

New build - The Basil Restaurant [CC]

My sims from BACC missed a place where they can go on date, eat delicious food and just spend time eating. I thought that maybe I should build them some restaurant.

I present you "The Basil". It's industrial restaurant but I think inside cold, brick walls your sims can find warm, cozy atmosphere.

On the entrance you have few tables and in the nook you can find a bar and coffee bar.

On the left there is a kitchen from which you can go into bar area.

And in the corner you have a bathroom with little nursery. I'm not sure if in TS2 you can take a toddler to restaurant but I think it's a nice sign that it's a family friendly restaurant.

On the first floor there is a mezzanine with tables.

The floorplan:

Enjoy!

I tried to fix it once again and finally I have apartments! It had to be modular stairs to the garden or second driveway. I'm not sure but after a lot of pain I finished this building.

My inspiration were modern row houses in Poland now. I truly hate real estate developers but it's my tribute to their idiotic house building in the middle of nowhere like here, for example:

So I present to you my White Posh Houses, only 4120 simoleons in rent.

I had some problems with roofs so I just left it like that. I'm sure developers wouldn't mind.

The back is empty so you can place whatever you want here. At least I created some space you can enjoy. Not like here:

The floorplan looks like that:

So in the basement there is a bedroom (maybe) and two rooms that look like bathrooms but I thought than one could be a laundry room. There is a corridor so your sims can go outside and cherish their garden.

The entrance leads to big kitchen and dining room and on the back you can havbe living room and some office space. You have also small bathroom and doors to garage for one car.

On the highest floor is master bedroom and a huge bathroom. I think I was really crazy with those measurements but I don't mind if you add some walls in your game.

I hope all CC is included.

Enjoy!

I've built it!

But I can't change it to apartments :(

I tried everything with invisible fences, deleting custom garage doors, nothing works for me.

Is there someone who can help?

I can even share this built so someone can look at it.

New dorms for my sims

I was tired of the dorms that come with Sim State University so I thought that maybe it's time to build my own. I found the photo of some building on Pinterest and created new place for my YA sims to lose their soul during writing thesis and learning.

It looks like a regular apartment building but I think my sims can afford something ✨modern✨ I think it lacks a landscaping but I'm not the best in it (yet).

On the back it has a patio and some area for playing basketball and chill under the trees.

I can imagine long talks about life on those chairs.

Inside we have some space for dancing and partying when the weather isn't nice. I added some hanging keys so they can simulate that sims will take it and go to lectures.

Next we have kitchen which is obviously black and white. I think I made those the two main colors in this building. It looks cool and modern so that was my thought when I was furnishing it.

There is a quiet room for those who want to study or read something in peace so no one will interrupt with watching tv or playing games.

I created a space for playing chess, watching tv or play console games.

I thought that having a private gym would be also nice. It's not much but still it can help with gaining muscles and loosing weight.

All bathrooms look the same. Behind the sliding doors there are showers. I know that on Uni they can take shower with other people in the same room but I think some privacy can be nice.

All bedrooms also look the same. I thought that I don't know who will live there so for now everything looks bland. Whenever I'll move someone here, I will adjust rooms to theirs personality.

On every floor there is a small kitchen space with table and two easels. They have to practice creativity somehow.

On the rooftop there is a bbq, chess, bar, some tables and chairs from crates and telescope. I imagined that on the summer sims can have fun here, invite friends and chill.

The floorplan:

I hope you enjoyed my new dorm. If you have any suggestions, what can I improve, I'm open to that. I'm not the best builder and I still learn something new!

Pleasantview's Retirement Home

I'm building again!

I have more elders in my gameplay and I thought that for some of them I could find a new place where they could not be alone. That's why I've built a retirement home.

It has a garden where elders can sit and enjoy weather, prepare bbq or work in garden.

On the ground floor there is a reception, toilets, big living room, big dining room with place to dance, kitchen, sauna and massage and workout room.

On the first floor there are 6 rooms. I thought I will have two rooms with double beds and other rooms with one so 8 sims can live there but in the middle of the furnishing I decided to create only single rooms. All of them have private bathrooms.

The reception has desk, some clutter, sofa and computer.

I didn't have a place to make photos of toilets but those are simple appliances, nothing spectacular.

The dining room has a big table where all sims can have meals together. I placed the bar and stereo system in case if sims will have a party.

The kitchen is simple with a lot of appliances. I see now that one counter changed place, I will fix it later.

The living room has a huge library, pool table, mahjong table, piano and easel so sims won't be bored with the same activity.

I even placed an Xbox. I thought that when our generation will be in retirement home, there will have to be some kind of console haha.

Glass corridors lead to all bedrooms.

The sample bedroom has a bed, a nightstand, desk, built-in wardrobe, armchair and small tv. Sometimes you need privacy and watch beloved soap opera just by yourself.

The bathrooms are simple: shower, toilet, sink, mirror and towels.

If sims want some fresh air, they can sit on the bench outside or do some gardening.

Sometimes they will need some relax, that's why they have sauna and next door, room for massage and fitness.

I know I'm not the best in the clutter yet but I'm trying my best. I hope you'll enjoy the photos :)
