Hey y'all!

So, I've been hosting Calabruhsas on my tumblr for a while now, mainly because I was too lazy to take enough pictures to post it to MTS after finishing it. However I have a bad habit for noticing things after submitting them, which is what happened to the hood. Now that like what, two years have passed, I wanna do a bit of a refresh of Calabruhsas to fix annoyances and improve the hood somewhat.

So what I'd like to ask y'all is to please give me feedback on what I should change in a potential version 2. From actual fixes like "this mailbox is inaccessible" or "this community lot is unusable" to just things you think should be improved like "there should be XY community lot included" or "this family is too plain and should be more interesting".

Some general info about Calabruhsas: it's based on that pre-covid celebrity tea era combined with the image of LA my teenage self had, with messy celebrities and drama. There are also many references to stuff familiar to me but which might go over others' heads now that I think about it (like the Karkrashian kids being half based on Chekhov's Three Sisters). Also, there is CC included in the download whose sources are in the tumblr post I also linked above.

So yeah, please let me know what feedback y'all have lol

I think the theme you chose is really juicy! I've downloaded it and will try it soon. I think Kardashian-style photos in Sims for the album would be cool. ^^

Thanks <3 What photos are you referring to though? Despite appearences I never Kept Up With The Kardashians so unless you mean the original title card I don't know :`(

I wanted to say that if you're going to do some celebrity-inspired families, doing some drama-like photos for the album, or posing, or with cameras or something celebrity-inspired, would be fun. XD

Going off of the picture on your Tumblr, here's what I like: The jungle area, and the Mid-century area.

What I think needs improvement; Your arrangement of props seems too mechanical, I suggest removing two of the billboards near the shopping area and take the other two and angle them more naturally along the side of the road. Sims need to see whatever it is you're selling

I'm not sure I understand why you used Maxis buildings for the city backdrop as it kind of obstructs the view, maybe go for a skybox and let them breathe fresh air? How about a farm, or a maybe if we're keeping the city theme, an airport?

The jungle was supposed to be a beach area LMAO

The mechanical props is good advice, I was very uptight and "everything needs to be perfect" when making it so you best believe I counted the button presses on those rotations, I might audit hood deco while I'm at it

The maxis buildings were supposed to be like, "continue this way and you'll get to the more bustling downtown" sort of sendoff, I think BDC has something similar? The airport sounds good too, it'll functionally probably just be a general store but it's a good idea
