What do you do with Contempo Moderne? It's a medium sized shop on the fringes of the main commercial area in Bluewater Village. In some ways though it looks to me more like an exhibition hall than a retail shop. At an asking price of over §62,000 it's well out of the reach of most of my Sims. It's certainly not something the Larsons could afford. (They're buying an empty 2x1 lot across the road from the Club Dante.) It contains a handful of decorative items, which could easily be marked for sale, but to my way of thinking, it would need a lot more saleable stock -- perhaps another §10,000's worth to turn it into a viable retail business. There are some comfortable-ish chairs arranged around the place, as if placed so visitors could sit and admire the decor. I suppose you could also mark this furniture, and a flat screen TV for sale too. Or you might put in a banditron machine, and run it as a gallery with a few items for sale. I can't think of much to do with it as an unowned community lot either. The Maxis blurb about the place reads: "We at Contempo Moderne believe that less is more...even when it costs more than most. If the sparse, clean lines of our showroom don't leave you longing for less, we'll treat you to a professional, aesthetic re-evaluation - on the house!" Has anyone here managed to do anything useful with it? I an currently playing Sarah McGuire, who is staying in the Bluewater Changing Huts, and is about to ask the above-mentioned unemployed paper boy Justus Bruenig to move in with her. The Contempo Moderne is the nearest building to theirs. I am thinking of them going on an outing there, but cannot think why they would go there. Maybe they'll just go and look at the place. "Just think Justus, this could be ours -- if we had seventy five thousand Simoleons to spare, and could think of anything to do with this place."  [EDIT] On checking the (Fandom) Sims Wiki, I see that they call Contempo Moderne a furniture shop, which means that they think you should mark the furniture for sale. At least that would give your entrepreneurial Sims a better chance of profit than if they only sell the decorative ornaments. But I'd still like to know what other players have done with this lot. |
I made it an art gallery once, had the owner buy paintings made by sims to put on all the walls, and then just set up a ticket machine out front. I don't usually look at the lot descriptions, though.
