Chenin Blanc Nectary: From Hillcrest Cove

First off, this is am upload. Secondly, it is indeed from my world but i am sharing this one individually as it is for the Versailles project currently running at The Simmers Society. Its a wonderful idea and i am so happy i could be a part of it.
So this is my first ever nectary so be kind. I hope i included everything but i might not have. i got the basics there so i hope that matters the most. It is grand and classic at the same time so should fit well in a country town or even in the World Adventures holiday destination





here are some pictures












well i hope you like my little contribution to the commercial lots out in the sims world. it will take pride of place in my farming district and has already seen some action from the locals. hopefully it is a hit.

A CAW Project: Chase Department Store

well i have to admit something, i hate consignment stores. they just seem so dingy in game (the ones EA supplied) and i didn't want that im my world. i decided to turn mine into a department store. this is located next to the laundromat in a converted georgian townhouse and takes up 3 stories of the 4 story building






















so i hope i managed to create something special out of a community lot that usually is quite dingy and seems like a second hand shop.

A CAW Project: The very elegant Laundromat

well i can't seem to make grungy locations so for those wishing for a dirty laundromat have come to the wrong town :P
the story behind this building is as follows. in the early development of Hillcrest Cove, the center of town was populated by townhouses. as urban sprawl took hold of the region, people moved out of the centre of town leaving the lovely townhouses to fall into disrepair. an initiative was put in place to reclaim these buildings for public use and thus the very elegant laundromat came to life. only the first floor is accessible in this 4 story building but what is there is a wonderful place to enjoy cleaning your clothes, a chore not many people like. so enough background here it is









i still have to play with the lighting but other then that i think its done. also this is the first laundromat i have made. if there is something that is missing please tell me, i am still new to building community lots :)

CAW Project: Country Cottage

well here is another new build for my world in progress or WIP *giggles* (yeah i know not that funny :P ) and it will also be uploaded separately for The Simmers Society Versailles Project. it is based off of a floorplan i found but was change significantly inside as i could only achieve the look with the spiral staircase which is not available in game yet. so less of me rambling and more pictures!




















now as i stated this will get uploaded but until i an ready to do so this remains in game. when i share it i will notify all of you. hope you enjoy this little snippet of whats to come :)
