Continuing the tradition of sharing my inspo photos after they have served me their purpose! ((lmao))

My goal was to transform Brindleton Bay into a historical landmark that has been restored/refreshed. Letting it be a world for sims to create formative moments throughout the seasons!

As per usual, the architecture is based on photos while the interiors served as inspo only. I feel like this makeover served as a bench mark for me getting better at building and I'm very really happy with my results!

Locations of Inspiration

[Note: The custom roles and schedule are already set. As per usual, feel free to modify for your personal gameplay! If you want roles to do what you specifically assigned, remove the main activity for the timeslots.

If you don’t want it to be a custom venue, it fits the criteria for a few other venue types as well.]

This lot is turn key! The bathrooms, kitchens, and built-ins are done, not styled.

[Note: If you decide to edit this lot, you will experience a delay with walls, platforms, fences, and half walls. This is an EA issue due to the sheer scale of the build. Everything else places without any problems, i.e. immediately.]

This is for simmers, like myself, who want to slowly edit worlds over time. There are mods, such as blowtorch and flamethrower, that are available to knock it all out at once.

WARNING: Back up your files... and for the love of pixels, be self aware. Do not attempt any of this if you don't have a solid literacy level.

Thank you to all of the simmers who were kind enough to give this info out for free. I simply bookmarked for a rainy day and decided to slap it all into one post.
