I'm quite pleased with this 2-click foundation based garden pavilion! The garden is considered to be ready now. I might change some details in the future, but I really like current layout. The arbour has moved out of the corner of the lot, making room for the garden shed so that now it is a complete gardening corner with all the gardening things. There’s also sort of a rubbish tip behind the shed which makes perfect sense because stuff can be carried out of the lot straight along the fence right behind the greenhouse. Very handy! It is also a perfect place to gather empty Elixir of Life glass thingies as I tend to collect them. There’s a lot of seating places around the garden to enjoy some fresh air in. Including a small rooftop spot right on the top of the bay window where the owner of the house likes to spend their time feeling bad (not really) about failing at quitting some bad habits. It’s hundred percent decorative of course.

Hey anon!Well, I’ve made those myself ^^ Let me just put it that way.Since I’m a bit impulsive when it comes to lot mode CC I often just edit Maxis’ stuff, or CC from other creators no matter what just to make myself satisfied with the result. The Tower inn Interior is a good example of such approach. I wanted to finish it real quick but I’ve spend a week or two editing and making meshes, replacing textures, making recolors, etc.I knew that someday I might get a WCIF about it, but I really don’t want to polish all the issues this content has. So use it at your own risk! ^____^’Most of it (like glasses and those consoles, white pillars are ‘Moveobjects on’ only. There is no collection file and the stuff is just scattered across the menus.

The bar piece from ATS Irish pub. It is a recolor of it (so as for dining chair), the mesh isn’t included, you’ll need to get it from ATS. As for the clock, it’s a DR of Raynuss’ ‘Nabu Living’ Wall Clock. If you have it, make sure to remove the original, otherwise you’ll get those conflicted. 

Fireplace. This is a DR of the Colonial Fireplace by Hugelinatic at MTS. If you have it installed, it will conflict. The mesh is heavily edited, and also it is used as a master file for the Bar wall console (the one with the clock). 

Horse brasses and beer mats were made from scratch and should be used together since one of them is a master file for the other ones. The only reliable way to use this content is put it into ‘Downloads’ folder all together since many items are repositoried to each other.

If you still interested, here it is!

While SFS is down (i’ll provide an SFS link once it’s up again), here’s a Dropbox link:

(...) There was a moment in Zagoskin history, when T. Phidbach field lab got blown up after one of her weather experiments went completely wrong. This turned into a horrific disaster.

And not only because there was a huge crate where the field lab was, but also it destroyed a building in the town with a giant ice boulder that fell from the sky. The house at 9 Hemlock Bend belonged to Jeff Posley who, luckily, wasn't home at the time (...)

Right! I’ve had this house in ruins for about a year. There’s always a moment, when you don’t feel like you want to work on CC or any ongoing project but rather just run your game and enjoy some building or decorating process. So I decided to spend some time on this lot at 9 Hemlock Bend, Zagoskin. Hence this huge amount of screenshots. It got a bit of a makeover (mainly on the facade). There is still many things to work on. I haven’t even touched the interior yet, and I need to do some more landscaping, fill the greenhouse with plants, plop some potted flowers around. I might also try and make the summer garden pavilion to stand on 2-click foundation instead of the standard one. Oh, and pics are captioned! Tumblr is being silly again so captions are like:

– Honey, there's an iceberg in our living room!

Mainly georgian style with a bit of victorian touch. I've also made my first custom fence ever!

The lot has been displaced with LE, so the real road is somewhere over the hedgerow behind this yellow Vikea

An overview. Lethe_s' victorian greenhouse set didn't have 3 tile wide roof peak, so I made one

I could live in this green house myself.

Trimmed roof looks amazing with wall matching cornices. Although it's still a mess during the winter and looks awful in hood mode.

I've suddenly become obsessed with those fence post lights

A cozy arbour seating behind the greenhouse in the very corner of the garden.

Finally had a chance to put a community gardens lot inside the Hawthorn square quarter. The lot itself is very draft yet, but atleast it’s something!

The lot is completely surrounded by neighborhood decorations and blends with environment quite good. I know that it is impossible to grow plants and veggies on community lots, but I still hope to use it in some way. I actually never had a chance for a proper gardening in TS2 yet (i’m too addicted to ‘hood mode, yep). Google tells me that if a community lot is owned by a sim, it is possible to grow veggies on it, so that might work. Like as if someone would be a chairman of the community garden trust or something like that, lol.

Now I need to plop down some invisible fences to prevent sims from walking through walls. Placing ‘off-grid’ lots is so much fun! All the goofiness of sims walking through bushes and stuff with their poker faces, taxis and cars driving off into walls.

I’ve also made a sequence of pics while placing and moving the lot, so I might show how this lot was placed in the next post.
