Thank you @grinevilly , glad you like it! In my original version of this neighbourhood (I'm recreating a better version of an old hood), I had a farm house there, but this time I built the farm house on the other side of the road and made it a B&B cottage (hotel with barn dances, meaning disco in the barn!), and added a fish farm. I always loved the Fish Hatchery lot in Sims 3 Riverview, so wanted something of that ilk for my Sims 2 simmies. It's based on a real life fish farm near to where I live.

There is also a swimming pool bit (meant to be trout raceways) and sims can swim there. It has a deco car park too where you could put dummy cars or invisible parking spaces. Pics attached!


It looks really cool!

So, if you put something on an OFB shelf it won't get automatically set for sale if it's a non owned lot?

You could put some of the lake fish here in the swimming pools. http://paysites.mustbedestroyed.org...mslice/objects/

I wish TS2 had something like the rental shack that Sims 1 had, where you could rent a fishing rod and the owner could get the money from it.

No, it needs to be owned. Of course, if I populated the hood then I could have a townie own the lot and set them for sale.

Thanks Charity, but this is totally vanilla as I plan to upload it here (and prefer to let players choose their own CC and improve my lots for themselves). When I play it for myself there will be loads of CC added, so I'll grab these!

Tony Veis made a 'catch of the Day' Sims 4 food stand conversion, I'll bet you could use moveobjects to slot a bandatron in there, so your sims could buy a ticket to fish as well as buying a fish from the kiosk.

Because I dont think we have enough bad things... I was thinking about natural disasters like a hurricane or a tornado.


I imagine a notification from the weather guy... alert hurricane incoming or something.

then here would be heavy rain for a whole day thunder lightning storm, then lots of puddles and trash (weeds and bugs too lol) would appear everywhere on the lot
and most of the electric appliances would be broken (something like the power outage escenario)
and I dont think if its possible but have random walls removed or missing roof tiles so the environment is totally in red.

also because I like drama all the sims in aspiration failure... general distress and with a new filthy overlay... like the burnt one


oh gods my poor simmies...

If we talk about Sims 1, I wish there were HIT THE MOLE and SHOOT BALLOONS functional items. RENTING as mod, interaction could be cool thing, but I think it need to be tied to OFB/business owning.

I've done some more experimenting with the pedestrian portals and that "hole in the wall" sign:

it works on residential lots as well-just find the pedestrian portal that exits the lot and place the sign over that.

I also am experimenting with putting a stone arch over the entrance portal to make it seem like pixels appear out of thin air-the "Guardian' statue is too big for that and so I'm going to be looking for a smaller stone arch. It does work by the way-I had one of the pixels go to their Uni class and they went out through the arch I'd put there in front of the portal.
I really should find that British call box from the Dr. Who series to use for it.


Edit:
I found that call box you mentioned SimSample, but here's something else you will find fascinating: when you place the sign on the exit portal, it will turn into an active 'walk to lot' function!

That "Hole in the Ground' sign actually works as an real exit (like the phone booth)when placed over the residential pedestrian portals! Cool! I didn't know MidgetheTree had modded it to be a walk sign! It works as that even without placing it there.
