A nod this week in Web Treasures to a Chicken we know very well on Amaz'Sims and who shares on his Tumblr many terrains and CC and who shared a few days ago a very useful mod. Here's a presentation of the "Use the common areas of residential rental properties as community land". (we'll have to come up with a little diminutive) posted on the Down In Simsland !
The principle is quite simple: the mod unlocks land features to be applied to the communal areas of your rental. These terrain features will reproduce the behavior of community terrains (in broad outline). They include :
- Infused delights : To create a café downstairs (with an espresso bar) or a thrift shop (with a bubble tea stand) open from 8am to 8pm.
- Meals on the go : To hire food vendors on the stands or to set up your own cafeteria (if the Années Lycée cafeteria is set up)
- Drinks : To create a café and/or karaoke bar open from 2pm to 2am.
- Fun zone : To create a playground for children and teenagers
- Care facility : Provides general services for tenants. Can be used as a cafeteria if a cafeteria is on site.
The housing challenge icon is replaced by a llama in this image, as I hadn't installed all the extensions at the time of my test. To work properly, you'll need : A Louer, Au Travail, Vivre Ensemble, A la Fac, Années Lycées
The mod can also be customized in some way by adding the "Private Home" feature so that only tenants can access it. A cleaner is also added to the common areas to clean up any garbage your Sims (who are more or less careful) leave lying around.
All the info on the mod and all Le Poulet's creations can be found on his Tumblr : Down in Simsland !
