Building Contest 2012-Long, September: Occult Hangout

[Lilygirl]

You must read the Rules and Instructions Thread first, if you haven't already.

Building Contest 2012-Long: September - Occult Hangout

Your Task:
The occults are multiplying! They’re everywhere! Some can’t stand the sun, others are bothered by the moon; they live for their coffins, lamps, and cauldrons; one thing they all have in common: they are all the finest, greatest, most awesome specimens of Sim-ness any Sim could ever aspire to be.

As a “normal” Sim do you want to be surrounded by all this awesomeness? Come on down to the greatest hangout place for all Sims. As an occult, ever feel singled out and alone? Come on down to the greatest hangout place for your special brand of Sim.

With the coming of Supernatural and a massive expansion to the available occult types, you are tasked with the challenge of building a community hangout where all Sims can mingle and each occult has its own special room for when they just want to hang out with Sims like them. For example, a vampire room with patterns, colours, and skill items that represent the vampire lifestyle. For those that will not be getting Supernatural or do not wish to build using the Supernatural EP, build occult specific rooms for the occults you do have: ghosts, Mummies, Simbots, Genies, Imaginary Friends, etc.

Specifications:

• Lot Type: Community/Hangout or LN bar.
• Number of Bed Spaces: N/A
• Budget: $150,000
• Lot Size: 30x40 – 50x50.
• List of Occults: Ghost, Mummy, Simbot, Vampire, Imaginary Friend, Genie, Witches, Werewolves, Fairies, and Zombies.
• Other Specifications:
  • Include rooms/buildings themed for the different occults available in your game. You do not need to include all the occults but have a good variety. This is to give that occult group a private, especially for them place to hang out with others of their kind. The key is for the builder to not identify the room, but have the room identify its occult.
  • Main room/building/area should be a place where any Sim would love to hang out.
• Optional Specifications:
  
  Additional Information:
  Since this contest is 4 weeks long and Supernatural comes out during the first week of September, this new EP is allowed for the building of this contest entry. No EPs are necessary as the base game will allow you to build a hangout – no actual occults needed.
  
  
  Contest Start Date: 12:00am, Saturday, September 1, 2012

October's: A Supernatural Hangout

Price: £120,173
Contains: World Adventures, Ambitions, Late Night, Generations, Showtime, Supernatural, Master Suite Stuff, Town Life Stuff, Outdoor Living Stuff
Lot Size: 40 x40

Hey there! My name's October CrumpleSteel, and welcome to my pub.



It looks like an ordinary pub on the outside, doesn't it? Somewhere you might take your family for Sunday lunch, or go for a quick pint with your colleagues after a long day at the business office.



The cosy interior is designed to make any sim at home. It's neutral, with chairs and tables for eating or talking and sofas for relaxing. You could even go on a date here!

But it's not quite all as it seems here at October's. Can you keep a secret?

You can? Great!

Let me finish showing you round.















As you can see, it caters for, umm, a varied clientele.

What do you mean you don't believe in the supernatural?!



Come and visit, if you dare.

Ariana's Comment:

"I really enjoyed building this. Normally I hate doing community lots but it was a lot of fun trying to capture the essence of each supernatural type I did a room for. Some of them I had an idea in my head before I started, others I just went with the flow and I had no idea how they were going to turn out at the end. I wish I'd had more time to do landscaping and work on the connecting corridors though. It was my first building contest though and I'm pretty much a building beginner so I'm still proud of it.

Thanks Lilygirl! I really wish more people had entered!"

The thread is open for comments! Congratulations Ariana!

Congratulations Arianajade Really great build. I tried 3 times to enter this competition, but try as I might, I just couldn't stick to budget, so in the end I just gave up as it was stressing me out. But you've captured each occult perfectly with their own little nook. Well done

Congratulations Arianajade ! You've done a great job with each room. Great decorating as well . It's an awesome occult community center.
