These small community lots are all disguised as gas stations from the pre-WW2 period, built in art deco style, and two of them are based on still existing filler stations in Texas and Pennsylvania. I built them for my vintage '40s savegame, so you can't find TV or any high-tech objects on them, but the interiors are all small, easily and quickly refurnishable, and also the lot assignment is very flexible, as well - either of them can be changed into some other type of store or service lot, depending on what you need in your town.



SouthWestern Gas and Cafe (20 x 25) - Local Watering Hole (LN bar)
Based on a real-life former gas station built in 1936, Shamrock, Texas, by the Route 66. Furnished as a small Late Night bar (my active sim needed a place where she can start to moonlight Mixology). Can be quickly refurnished into some other type of eatery. Jukebox and pinball (skee ball) machines.
Furnished: 76,979 - Unfurnished: 31,890



Scott's Garage (20 x 20) - Fire Station (AMB)
Based on the real-life still operating gas station in Bedford, Pennsylvania, built around 1933. Furnished as a functional fire station, with fire truck, two alarms, and some amenities to spend the time with (chin-up bar, mini fridge, bookcase, vinyl player). No beds, but toilets, shower and coffee. Easy to refurnish / re-set, but be careful when you touch the walls because the whole 1st floor is heightened by CFE (taller than default), so if you want to move the walls, they'll become distorted if you don't level them with CFE.
Furnished: 48,565 - Unfurnished: 25,262



Murphy's Motors (20 x 20) - Junkyard (AMB)
Influenced by an art deco station I saw in the LA Noire videogame (I haven't found the original real-life version). Decorated as Junkyard and metal scrap yard, with two piles of metal trash, two junkyard spawner, and a small office. Be warned, when you place the lot in your map, each time you rotate it, the spawners will duplicate, so after accepting the final position, it's advisable to open it in Build mode, enabling the "testingcheatsenabled true" and the "buydebug on' cheat and delete all those spawners that you don't need / too many. Don't forget to close the cheats.
Furnished: 35,364 - Unfurnished: 12,559

All of them have been playtested.
To look exactly like this in your game, you need for all the three lots:

- 1 piece of CC: BlooMbLURR' Vintage Gas pump, not included, can be downloaded from TSR TheSimsResource
However, if you already have a retro pump in your game, it's pointless to get this; just ignore this CC, delete the proxy object that the game replaces it with, and you can use your own gas pump.

- Roaring Heights (standard version) installed (plenty of stuff from RH on all lots!)

- EPs: World Adventures, Late Night, Ambitions, Generations, Showtime, Seasons, University Life, Island Paradise.
No Stuff Packs needed (Fast Lane Stuff is NOT used here!)


Lot Size: 20x20
Lot Price (furnished): 76,979
Lot Price (unfurnished): 31,890
