Four City Folks

Ever the early bird, Jazlyn goes for a sunrise jog. 

In the hallway she catches Keon checking his mail. 

Jazlyn: “Heyyy, Key. What’s good with you?”

Keon: “I’m just chilling. Paying my bills, you know how it is.”

Jazlyn: “Right, right. Mind if we take a picture? I’m trying to build up my Simstagram. I know my followers will appreciate a new face.”

Keon: “*chuckles* I’m cool with that. Might find me a bae.”

Jazlyn: “Bye, Keon! *incredulous laugh* Okay, make a cute face! Let me tag you. What’s your follower count like?”

Keon: “*long pause* I’m not on Simstagram like that.”

Jazlyn: “Say less. Consider this your lucky day. I’ll put you on if you promise to make it up to me.” *opens apartment door*

Keon: “Alright. *looks past Jazlyn* You got a fire bar tray. Mind if I make something?”

Jazlyn: “Oh that? Go ahead. I don’t really drink like that anyways.” 

In the commotion, Kidist wakes up and head to the bathroom.

Kidist: *double-takes at Keon*

A knock sounds at the door.

Yonas: “Hey. Keon’s in there right?”

Kidist: “Yeah. I didn’t know you two were coming over.”

Yonas: “Yeah... *lost in thought* I didn’t know he was heading over. I... I brought something for you.” 

Kidist: ???

Yonas: “You mentioned getting roped into a lawsuit way above your paygrade because of the controversy at the company Jazlyn and I work at. 

As a regional manager I’ve been going around deescalating the situation.”

Kidist: “Oh, wow! *opens cupcake box* 

Yonas: “I know its corny *bashful* My co-worker recommended a bakery. Since I didn’t know what you’d like... I got something generic.”

Kidist: “That was... thoughtful of you. *smile* You didn’t have to get me anything though.”

Yonas: “Cool. *smiles* Nah, It’s no problem. I’m just doing my job.”

Kidist: “*embarrassed* Oh... No, I get that! *confused heart twinges*

District Four's Market

𓆟 𓆜 𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆜

꒰ 🪸 ꒱ ࣪𓂂 ׅ Main shops:

Fish Market stalls: buys fish from the fishermen. Their stock is often common sea fish including blackfin tuna, bluefin tuna, redfish, red grouper, salmon, and king Marckerel. The capital had alternated most fish species to be able to live by District four, which is why there is many varieties of fish. Stalls often near the pier

Seashell sellers: they collect and sell seashells from the beach. All of their shells have to be full, non broken, and pretty. They sometimes have have dried out seastars, washed up urchins, and sand dollars. They have small buildings near the peir, sometimes more inland, but not often.

Ship repairs, wood: they repair old wooden pirate like ships before they embark on their journey out sea. They are paid by the government, but not much as wooden pirate ships aren't, in the captial's words, good enough in comparison to the metal ones. Little do they know, the most successful fishers have had more luck on wooden ships than metal. They are on the edges of docks and peirs, close to ships.

Ship repairs, metal: like the wooden boat repairs, they repair the metal fishing boats. They are given more money by the government, but their ships aren't the best repaired, which is why sailors use the wooden ships more often. Again, they are near the peir and docks.

Net stalls: they hand weave all types of nets. To keep them dry, they set up stalls more inland. The higher quality nets are sold in upper class areas.

Hooks and baits shops: nice, small buildings that sell hand crafted hooks and fish baits. Most hooks and baits shops don't have high quality products, but if you live in the upper class areas you will find better hooks, and sometimes rarer baits. They are all over district four.

boat shops: there is only 3 of these buildings, as the boats take a very long time to make. They are on pairs, so you can take your boat out the moment you get them.

Deep sea creature buildings: these make money. They buy lobsters, red crabs, oysters, squid and octopus. These are typically very expensive, so residents of district four have to be "wealthy" to be able to buy some. These shops are in high class areas.

miscellaneous items: these are most likely necklaces, messages in bottles, pieces of coral that wasn't wanted by seashell sellers, pendants, ships in bottles, books, maps of the sea, candles, or fables for children. Found everywhere.

Different types of food is found everywhere

꒰ 🪸 ꒱ ࣪𓂂 ׅ Black market, Skull and Bones territory:

Exotic fish: Saliors who fish up any exotic or weird creatures, sell them to these buyers, who in turn sell them to any brave person. In the deeper parts of the Black Market.

"bewitched" items: a monkey's paw, a large shark tooth, messages from pirates years ago, all things that may be considered cursed is found here. there is only one of these stalls, so if you want a cursed item you better get it fast.

prostitutes: the women, or men, desperate for money may become prostitutes. Buildings holding them are found at the middle of the Skull and Bones territory.

Bones: many types of bones are sold in the Skull and bone territory. There are shark jaws, fish skeletons, "mermaid tails", and rarely human bones. Stalls found in the back.

tonics: these are commonly made medicines that are needed. Found in the front of the black market.

Tattoo shops: Tattoos are huge in District Four. To get a tattoo, you must have a story to tell, and someone to back it up. They can tell if your lying. Found everywhere, only opens in night and early morning hours.

꒰ 🪸 ꒱ ࣪𓂂 ׅ Bars:

The Trench: District Four has many bars, but this is the most popular. This is a bar and diner with a stage for music or magic shows to be held. They have a variety of great tasting drinks and food. Saliors spend most of their free time here, sometimes they even bring their familes. Found close to the sea, free to enter.

Mermaid Cove: a less popular yet nice bar. This is for people 15 and up, as it's mainly drinking and gambling for pearls and coins. Found in the middle class area.

Davy Jone's locker: the most popular bar in the Skull and Bones territory. They sell drinks that are very questionable to drink. Some food, but not much. Found in the middle of the Skull and Bones territory

The Black Pearl: Has hard drinks that make you believe nothing is real. It has a dark, wet, and cold atmosphere. A popular bar in the Skull and Bones territory. It is found near the beach closest to the territory

I hope you like this^^

Island Oasis

Looking to escape the heat of the city and make a splash on a hot summer day? Island Oasis is the perfect place for you!

I had this queued up and ready to go live yesterday, but Tumblr had other plans, I guess. In short, REALLY wanted to create something a bit unique on this corner lot in The Spice District, and I love the way it turned out!

Full disclosure - it's still early spring in my game, so I cheated the weather so my Sims could enjoy the pool sooner rather than later!

Tray Files (Including Packs Used + CC List) are below the break.

This lot has been uploaded to The Gallery; remember to check ‘Include Custom Content’ when you search!

so being in the spice district is a major time kiara gets to be immersed in indian culture. rohan's been in the spice district plenty of times since he's been born because zoe traveled back and forth to see her parents, but the last time kiara was in the spice district she looked like this

she's been raised in chestnut ridge (and winter felt like it lasted 900 years) so the city feels new to her. and the cuisine and billboards and local residents have her like 🫨🤯😲🤭

Four City Folks

Jazlyn invites Kidist to her local karaoke bar just down the street.

Seeing Yonas and Keon, Jazlyn invites them to join their outing.

Jazlyn: “Hey y’all! You should’ve let us know you were coming out here. I would have passed an invite.”

Keon: “Nah, you good. We almost went to the club nearby.”

Yonas: “Bro, I’m not trying to go to the club on a Thursday night. 

Jazlyn: “I’m not gonna lie *scoffs* any night is a club night when you work at a monotonous af 9-5.” 

Keon: “Dang, it’s like that? That’s wild.” 

Yonas: “It pays the bills. I plan to save up some cash and get out.”

Jazlyn: “Right. It’s not like I plan on working there forever. *laughs* We just have to get it how we live.”

Keon: “Yeah, for sure. I feel you. I’m actually considering moonlighting at the club as a bartender. I don’t know, I might try something new.”

Kidist awkwardly sits alone... too introverted to find a way into the conversation.

Eventually noticing Kidist was lingering back, Jazlyn encourages her to enter the karaoke night contest with her.

the girls gave up the slow life quite quickly; now that they are back in the city, what felt like such an easy choice is now starting to burden our juniper

thought i could put all their belongings from their old house in here to be realistic, but...
