Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

Bonsoir everybody!

Wow, am I ever apprehensive about doing this. I've been a long time user, now first time contributor so please... I understand you have to be cruel to be kind, but me feelings have feelings too.

I've long since felt that an important element missing from the Sims is local infrastructure and so for my own amusement I have started creating some for my little Simmies. This is the first I'm quite chuffed about. It is the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital - named for Batman's butler, of course. It does feature some custom content I have accumulated over the years so if you are a contributing artist and do come across this, please notify me if you want your wonderful packages removed. I have tried to adhere to the general etiquette and have provided artist details and when to find these great recolours and/or meshes.

On to the main event - This hospital is a residential lot. I tried building it as a community lot only to find that alot of the related custom content only showed up in residential lots. I tried the cheat, and it doesn't work out very well for me, so unless you can you will just have to bear it with us all. Of course I will update once this particular obstacle has been overcome, shortly hopefully. The lot also includes some suitable Career Reward apparatus.

Here's the lowdown:
Residential Lot
Lot size 5 X 2
Cost: $185, 437

The hospital comes fully furnished and features the following:
- 'Cancer Research' Unit (featuring the Simsanto Inc. Biotech Station)
- Plastic Surgeory Clinic (featuring Dr Vu's Automated Plastic Surgeon)
- Emergency Surgery Ward (featuring the TraumaTime "Incision Precision" Surgical Training Station)
- Residential Ward
- Birth & Pregnancy Ward
- Cafeteria with fully equipped kitchen
- Waiting Rooms
- Nurse stations
- Men's/Women's Public Toilets


And now the goodies... A big thanks to all skinners and meshers who have put their time into creating custom content. We're forever grateful for your generosity!

NB: I am so sorry, I have searched high and low but cannot find where I got the Moneywell computer recolours featured on the lot. If anyone knows, please let me know so that I can credit him/her accordingly.

If for one reason or another, I have failed to express my gratitude to anyone, than this is a HUGE ups to you and cheers!

Hope you all enjoy it, 'cause it was a pleasure. Feel free to let me know on any improvements, modifications or dreaded... problems.

Cheers all,
Penny Lee
