Smokey Town

Well, I decided to hop over to my other Victorian world for a bit. The last time I did this world, I called it Spinner's End. Sadly I lost all of the lots I did back then, during the death of my last computer. So I have to start over. Oh well.

Anyway, this is one of the commercial lots that @yourpicasso25 created for this world. I plan on using it for my business/journalism rabbithole.

Here's another view - from way back when. I don't think I'll bother with that roof addition this time, since I'm going for total grunge this time around.

This is an adjoining lot - the town's bistro. Their selling point for potential customers is "Well, at least our food won't kill you!" I need to grunge up that outdoor patio area a bit, since it looks way too clean here. I actually need to look for some grungy cobblestone terrain paints. The ones I have are all too "clean."

And this is the city workhouse where all those "evil" sims are sent to pay their debt to society. There are some rumors that they're still plying their nefarious trades, but that can't be right, since the building is owned by the super-respectable Landgraab family.

And here's a bird's-eye view of the place. To the left, is where the town orphanage is. It's pretty grim. No sense in spoiling brats whose parents died to get away from them. Good Victorian values!

And this is just one of the typical houses in this part of town.

As you can see, this is NOT at all like the other world I'm currently playing. But that's good, since I tend to have the attention span of a gnat, so by switching back and forth, I should have them both ready for a Victorian Christmas this year. Go, me!

A bakery and elixir shop

Since I have gardens all over town where sims can steal produce, I deleted that Azalea Garden lot EA created and placed my elixir store there. This lot came from Mod the Sims - Shadow something (I downloaded it ages ago for something else) - and was originally just a regular consignment store. But with a name with Shadow in it, I figured it would make the perfect elixir store. The original was also on a smaller lot, so I added parking in the back.

This is the ground floor of the shop. I got rid of all the regular consignment stuff and added some Supernatural stuff that I have.

And this is the 2nd floor. I left a few of the original things - like the fish tank, since I figured that's where they store all those newts for eye-of-newts. Or whatever.

Then right next door, I placed another lot that my good friend Manu created for her Bourgeneuf world. Thank you, @yourpicasso25! Anyway, this is where the town laundromat is located - along with a bakery. Again, her build was on a much, much smaller lot, so I added some stuff. I also redecorated the inside, mostly because this is an old build and a lot of new things have come out since she built it. BTW, that dome came from SimsKey and after my last computer died, I had a devil of a time re-finding it.

And here's the inside. Only the ground level is used in this build, since the upper floors all have that 'skip level' marker. Anyway, as you can see, the one end is a bakery, while the other is my laundromat. I used Sandy's Laundry set and some store items for it.

And that was all I got done today, because my whiney dog won't stop with her "You're ignoring me and I'm starving!!!!!" Liar.
