This time, I tried to create a cute but functional place for my girly sims and those who live for a self care session.
Thank you to all the amazing CC creators.

A little on the BTI (Behind The Interior).
I created this small business because I was suddenly inspired by a randomly generated sim that I had to makeover for the purpose of my storyline.
Let me explain : When one of my main male character friend paid him a visit on a random wednesday, I embraced it. And so, said friend then met the new baby for the first time. The interaction was so cute that I decided that this random NPC, would not be random anymore, but known as uncle Connor ! How sweet!
Obviously, if you are being promoted to the uncle status, it means that you now have to have a full life, and that my friends, is how it all started.
From there, I got it into my head, that uncle Connor needed to have a cool job, a nice house, and a perfect match. That is how, Mica enters the chat room.
Mica Barrows - owner of TIPS salon.
As I previously stated, Mica Barrows, was a randomly generated townie that conveniently already was in Connor's relatioship panel. No need for me to create a completely new sim, I would just make Mica over and voilà!
The plus in that, was that Mica was also in my main sim relationship panel, which was the perfect opportunity for me to play it out in my storyline through the ingame matchmaker interaction.
Well, it could have stopped there but, you know me (well not really but you'll learn...).
Once Mica was made over, I then had a full on story and background for her that needed to be fleshed out.
That is how that young, sweet and bubbly blond girl, passionate about self care, easy going and self-assured was born in CAS. And SHE had the idea to open her own salon in the town center of Windenburg.
Renting a tiny one bedroom appartment* in the building next door, she is thriving as a passionate and determined business owner who also happens to be falling in love...
*I might post that one but I fear it would be redundant with this post here? still debating...
TIPS Salon is the place to be !
