#co2bellabrand

Published: 5-27-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY “Inspired by the wealth of Bella Goth lore from the Sims/SimCity franchises (aka the “simsverse”), the Bella Brand Series includes more than a dozen sets and 230+ new business-themed items. Lore suggests that the wealth/influence of the Gilman, Crumplebottom, Bachelor, and Goth families increases considerably under Mortimer and Bella Goth, especially the latter. So, this series imagines what a prestigious Bella-based brand might look like…” My game takes place in a (retro/afro) futurist age, in which the #co2bellabrand is part of a family megacorporation. A brief break from making CC gave me time to get in-game and do some building – here is the flagship Bella Brand Store. This 6-floor landmark is in the heart of the shopping district along Belladonna Cove. #co2lots #ts2builds #ts2lots DETAILS STREETSCAPING/EXTERIOR The lot sits on a 2-step foundation and uses my Streetscaping 001 (Simmons, 2024) set. There are two main entrances and a gallery entrance directly off the street. The exterior of the gallery is decorated with large ads and product displays.

FIRST FLOOR The first-floor features signature/seasonal displays from Body By Bella, Bella’s Beauties-Secret Garden, and more. Salon customers can shop or have a seat while waiting for an appointment.

SECOND FLOOR Bella Park (casual and sporty) and some nice vertical views. Sims can take the stairs or elevator between floors.

THIRD FLOOR Bella’s Secret (intimates), Bella Goth Jewelry & Collectibles, and a Boby By Bella (summer line)/Bella’s Beauties pop-up shop.

The retail floor set is versatile and works well with other sets in the Bella Brand series. To hang clothing on the adjustable rack, shift the clothing into place until it hangs properly on one of the bars. Apply the invisible recolor to the other, unused bar.

Functional Apparel Objects Apparel objects are debug items and show up as “clothing pile” in the catalog (Misc > Dressers). They must be placed on one of the DEBUG displays/shelves or they’ll float. Once purchased, take them out of the sim’s inventory and choose from one of the following: Purchase Clothing. Select an outfit (or several) of any type. Each apparel object is worth §100 towards the TOTAL cost. Sims save more money (and your businesses make more money) if they use one apparel object per new outfit. Sell. Recycle the object for §100 simoleons.  If you exit the Buy Clothing window without adding anything to your shopping cart, §100 will be added to the sim’s household funds instead. Apparel objects are worth §100 regardless of how much sims pay for them on OFB/community lots. Pricing an item below this amount can function like a discount sale (i.e., pay $75 in-store and §100 towards the purchase or a 25% “discount/rebate.” You can decide whether this counts as cheating). Pricing it above this amount is not recommended since sims will end up losing extra money. Debug objects have slots which “catch” fellow clones if you place them too close. To prevent this when trying to clutter them close together, turn “snap objects to grid” OFF and “move objects” OFF.

SIXTH FLOOR A concert of colors and comfort for the FUNdawear and Body by Bella (spring) stores, balanced with some subtle colored spotlights.
