Ocean's Simtown!

Sul Sul!

This is my simtown Skate park. Naturally, I built it on the "Pro Skater Dream Pad" 18X18 lot. Its impressive skating ramp and graffiti-covered exterior made it the perfect candidate.

The park contains many items from the Urban Outdoors event: the silver spray paint supplies, the black and silver retro boomboxes, and the abstract roller rink and dance floor (both bold and pastel).

I added 2 basketball courts in the corner, a snowboard rack in lieu of a skateboard rack, 2 movie cameras to capture neat tricks, a breakdancing boombox (from the hobby section, not to be confused with the 2 retro boomboxes), 3 oak school benches, a blue dumpster and a fire hydrant.

For the patio, I was torn between grey slate and blue sports ground. Ultimately, I chose to create an old, well-loved park, and the grey slate made more sense for that look than the more modern and vibrant sports ground.

Here's the layout:

This is my Simtown hedge maze. I built it on an 18X18 "Café Grandé" lot due to its surrounding trees, but any similar driveway home would do.

The idea here was a fun, quaint roadside attraction. I imagine it as an old, family-owned business that everyone in town knows and loves. They also sell flower seeds, coffee grounds, and home-made jams!

I created the maze using tall hedge. The pathways are 1-block wide, and I also made 1-block gaps in the walls to allow the sims to navigate.

I thought it would be fun to include a little surprise at every dead end. I added a scarecrow, a totem pole, some flowers, and even a nice bench to sit on and take a breath. There's also a gold party archway at the exit.

For those who prefer sitting outside, I added 2 dark romantic seats. I like their natural and rustic look.

Here's the layout (the light green is the grass, the dark green is the hedge):

This is my Simtown's hockey rink. I built it on an 18X18 "Lofty Lifestyle" lot of 2 reasons:

It has a parking lot, which is fitting for a public area.

Unlike the other driveway homes, it gets fully covered in snow while the others only have it outside the grid.

The rink contains a frozen pool (of course), benches, a cash register, street lamps, picnic tables, and a concession stand. It's surrounded by a white frosted fence, and the patio is grey slate.

I also added a weather machine to make the weather nice and wintery. As I do in all my lots, I placed it in a 2X1 room in the basement where it doesn't take up space or stand out.

Here's the layout:

And here's a bird-eye view of the concession stand:

That's the rink! This is my first post here, so I decided to go with a relatively simple design that most players can easily recreate.
