I have been working on a request build for Queenie08, a fellow simmer whom I met through BishopBettie. You see, BB gifted me some pretty amazing things, and her wishlist was empty so I said I would like to do a build for her because she was so very generous. She suggested I make a build for Queenie, who had the Brunch at the Old Mill set and wanted a venue that would go in her Appaloosa Plains town. After befriending Queenie, she and I hit off very well and she gave me really good insight as to what she would like to see in her build. I posted the facade on the forums, but since they are down I have no place but here to share my pictures.
I worked quite extensively on the interior of the build. Making it cluttered, southwesterny, cozy and rustic. I am so excited to show off the inside. I still need to give the ceiling color, maybe "wood" beams on something that appears to be corrugated metal or punched tin...Punched tin... yes, that would be great! I love that pattern anyhow! ;)
Things not shown in some of the pictures is that I filled the nectar racks in the rooms that have empty nectar racks showing... all with perfect nectar. I used a few tomb items to create secret entrance into the subterranean basement, plus some other goodies. Not really all that special but fun to mess around with!
You'll also see that I used the savvy seller doors in place of the double swinging doors that I originally had. I wanted a way to set the hours of the building itself. (outside the registers)
Otherwise it is mostly done! :D I can't wait to finish and share it with the community and I especially cannot wait to for Queenie to use it and tell me how she likes it!
The Chuckwagon:
The Chuckwagon's kitchen
The Trading Post using both the savvy seller and the bakery cash registers!
Outdoor dining that overlooks the stream (this build is next to a large body of water, so ignore that)
The walkout basement and cannery: (I need to get some canned goods on the shelves!)
The subterranean basement (Oh! not pictured: added clutter to make it seem more cozy)
I really hope you like what you see Queenie!!! I also hope others like it as well! I have had so much fun with this!
I can totally see my family hanging out there. And one of the elderly women is a bookworm, so she'll love the books XD. It's so cute!!! 3 of them like to cook/bake. It'll be good for family outings, which I try to do every so often. Or even for scenes between two to three sims. I'm excited about it! It looks awesome! I'm impressed by your skills, for real. Wow. I'm glad we've hit it off too :) Thanks BB for introducing us!
ReplyDeleteYou flatter me! There are so many builders out there who are so much better at this than I am. But, I have been learning quite a bit through watching their builds. If I had room, I would have added an "upright" piano in the chuckwagon... but alas, there was very little room left. However, if you would like me to I can try to re arrange and see if I can find a bit of room. :)
ReplyDeleteJust telling the truth, in my opinion. ;) It's always good to learn and grow though. It's alright if you can't :) I'm sure there will be more than enough for them to do there with what is currently there :)
DeleteAll that exposed brick makes me feel warm and safe :)
ReplyDeleteI was really hoping that the exposed brick wouldn't be too much of a contrast from the wood siding outside. But I really do love it. I am so glad it makes you feel warn and safe! :)
