Random lots

So today, I thought I’d show you a few, random shots of the town.

These first 2 are of that pool that’s located over there by those “apartments” on Sunnyside. The Lofty Cerulean Blue Pool – or some such nonsense. Anyway, I added that slide and some of cyclonesue’s “unmaintained cobblestones” around the edge. In The original, there was just dirt, but in real life, the hardscape – or at least some of it – would have survived a meteor hit. So I added it. I also switched out the basegame columns for some of her steel set ones, then added some clematis vines from an old Suza set that I have. I also aged the fence, just because.

This is the “city hall,” which I basically left alone. Well, I did add that Yeti thing, up close to the building and that aged, dead tree with some weeds. Off-screen to the right, I added an underground “basement” for my rabbithole rug. The main build shows up as a rabbithole on the game map, but sims can’t access it. In fact, the only RH they can enter, is the crime one. Anyway, I want to have sims in this town who have formed a “new” government. Vita Alto has elected herself the new mayor, and a couple others will be on the town council - Gunther Goth, who’ve I allowed to live, is now a local representative. I only plan on having a few rabbitholes – essential services for the most part – plus one non-essential one. But I want my sims to get back to work and start rebuilding their lives.

Speaking of which, here is the non-essential service – a new soccer field – aka: my stadium rabbithole. Since the Sekemoto and Keaton families survived, I wanted them to have someplace to work. So, in my town history, the city fathers decided to raise sims’ spirits by giving them someplace to go, to get their minds off their troubles. So they cleared this piece of land, planted some grass and erected a few huts. And viola! A soccer field! (The original field was a baseball diamond built by My Sim Realty, that I’ve used before. I just changed it to a soccer field, since EA never bothered to give us baseball, even though we asked for it. Not complaining, mind you.) I removed the huge building they had in their huge basement – made that much, much smaller and used a rug instead.You enter it, by going into that little building along the fence-line.

The next one is a house. In the original Sunset Valley this would have been the house between Kennedy and Alvi. Since Kennedy’s house was destroyed and is where I stuck the “new” town diner, I moved Erin into this house. When you open this game, this house is missing its roof and some of its walls. But since Erin is a member of the military and considered a 1st-line defense against the marauding zombies, her housing needs jumped to the front of the list. So, the military slapped up some tin siding they found and put on a semi-new roof. (They’re using materials that they’ve salvaged from other lots, which is why everything looks old – just in case you wondered).She’s also one of the few sims in this town, who is living alone.

Inside, it still needs some work. And for now, she has to make do with an outhouse – since the original bathroom got flattened by meteors. But she does have windows with shutters that can be pulled up when the zombies show up.

And this is where the Harts lived. Bebe and her mom survived – the husband didn’t. But this is one of the more livable houses in town, so they will be no doubt be evicted and the house given to essential workers. Sucks to be them. But when you don’t have much to offer to the town’s survival, such is life. And next door to it – to the left – you can glimpse the new Landgraab Research Facility. Also, behind it, is the Bunch house, which sustained almost no damage. They get to keep their house, since both have essential jobs. I did kill off Ethan, and plan on moving Kaitlyn Langerak in with them.

Next time, I’ll take you on a tour of the science facility.
