Title: Cheap Motel (requested)
Category: Lots & Housing > Community

Cost: around 150.000 I believe
Lot size: 4x3

Nightlife expansion required.
Custom content included: Invisible Driveway (Extension), by roddyaleixo


Description:
I think this has been requested for a movie set, but I tried to make it so that it's a bit useful as regular community lot as well (sims can shop for food, grill hot dogs, and have a bit of fun). Like the name says, it's a cheap motel.

5 x double room
4 x double "suite" (bedroom + small kitchen)
4 x single room
reception area with bar
public toilets
outdoor sitting area with grill

All rooms have TV, dresser, a small showerbath (some have a shower/bathtub), phone, and some chairs/tables. "Suites" also have a kitchenette with fridge, counters, kitchen sink, and a small dining table. In the reception and outside there's food displays, a music box, a bar, pinball machines, and a grill. I included public toilets so that your sims won't have to break into somebody's room if they're just visiting.

Any issues or questions about these, please post where you downloaded them (not here). I have no experience with either of these as I don't have OfB -- just putting this here because people keep asking about it.


Note:
If you get an "expansion pack data required" error upon installation, use Clean Installer instead of the Maxis one. Apparently this is a known issue (not specific to this download), see this thread describing the problem and this post (daysies) explaining the workaround.

Have fun!

(The food displays at the bottom of the double room pic are in the reception area. And I forgot to take a proper screenshot of the backside, but as you can probably infer from the floor plans there's not much to see there anyway.)
