City Center Build Part Three: Starbucks Interior
Warning: This installment is probably a little bit snarkier than usual simply because like Brody I refuse to go to Starbucks and drink their coffee, and I most certainly wouldn't go there for their scones that can double as a street hockey puck. In fact, about the only thing I can stomach that has the Starbucks logo on it is their Carmel Frappacino that comes in chilled little 10oz bottles at my local convenience store. And before you ask:
Q: Gosh Sim Doughnut if you hate Starbucks so much, why did you include one in your build?
A: Because there isn't a city in America with a population of over 10K that doesn't have a Starbucks on nearly every street corner. That, and some nice young lady went to a lot of trouble to make all this really cool Starbucks paraphernalia and I want to show it off for all the people that do like Starbucks and might want to use it.
So now that that is all out of the way, let's talk about this build. There are essentially two people responsible for the CC I used in this build, The first is Megan aka ~Serial Simmer~ who did a really bang up job creating all this wonderful Starbucks kit, including aprons and shirts you can dress your sims up in. When I inquired with Megan about Starbucks cups and bags of coffee beans (because I am all about the clutter) she said she had intended to get around to that but she's been feeling under the weather. So if you're reading this be a sweetheart and go send her a note telling her you hope she's feeling better.
The second person I have to thank for this part of the build is Budgie2Budgie who provided the lovely coffee window sticker. Yeah, I know it's not a Starbucks logo but it gets job done. Budgie also made the simlish Visa/MasterCard window sticker that has become a staple in all of my commercial builds.
And that's really about all there is to this part of the build. I mean we've all seen a Starbucks at some point in our life, so we all know what they look like. To be honest, once Get To Work comes out and the baking profession opens up I plan on gutting this part of the build and retrofitting it into a Java with Joe Bag of Doughnut's Donut Shop. As much as love coffee, I am all about those doughnuts!
