Building Redemption Island - Coffeehouse/City Hall added

[yruvian]

The art gallery
Located in the community centre, the Art Gallery is a four-story building, though... the upper three floors are completely empty. The gallery can be used (and is in my case supposed to be used) as a gallery of art that's made by the family itself. I have decorated the ground floor with paintings and sculptures that can be bought, just to give visitors something to watch, as my artistic sims kept popping wishes to go to the gallery as soon as it was build.



Inside:


Lot: 50x40 Art Gallery.
EP/SP used: Showtime, Late Night, World Adventures, Supernatural, Seasons, Ambitions.
EA store items: Ambitions registrations pack
CC used: Thyme Gardening Set (front yard)
Price tag real estate: 315.828 simoleons.

Very cool!

[Schipperke]

I love your building style and the way the different structures complement one another!  Such a huge project.  Thank you for sharing it!

Thank you both .

I was really surprised when I got the first comments on my buildings on the story thread. It's because of that interest that I thought it may be nice to actually put all the buildings somewhere together, even those that don't really get any actual story time.

The Greenhouse
(This lot, the gallery and the consignment building are left over from the original Redemption map, as well as the homes for the Littles, Peels, Parsons and Songs and I think the swimming pool.)

The Greenhouse could be used as a residential lot for a fairy, if a fairy palace is added.  The inner ring is safe from weather and plants won't go dormant, while the outer ring experiences any seasonal influences.

This little building has a very odd pricing problem. Every time I visit it, the price tag seems to go up. Even though in Edit Town, Buy/Build, it gives me the furnished lot value of 67.090 simoleons, the price tag if I mouse over it exceeds 600 million at the moment. This is also the price in the purchase real estate pop-up. Because of the pricing issues, I'm not going to upload this lot. Either I will have to rebuild it completely from scratch or it will just stay for the duration of the story. I think probably the latter, as there are a lot of buildings I still need to finish.

I didn't use any wildlife spawners, but the place is positively crawling with them. This isn't the only lot that's experiencing this problem either: the main residence has an actual plague of rodents at this moment.


Lot Value in build mode: Furnished: 67.090, Unfurnished: 62.911.
Lot: 40x40 Big park.

It definitely needs all expansions, but is heaviest on objects from Showtime and Supernatural. Ambitions is needed for just about every lot for the White Hydrangea.

I'm not planning to give up on it... After all, Gabriel needs to get home, because... I already have his next mission in mind. Though that will have to wait for after I try an Immortal Dynasty . Of course, technical issues may kill the project, though I hope not.

Pool
One of the oldest buildings on Redemption Island. Sims can switch between the outdoor and indoor swimming pools without getting out of the water. To the side you can also see that the lots aren't perfectly aligned with the world. Most of that happened when I smoothed the roads before exporting. Considering I was actually just going to use it for the story, it didn't bug me enough to redo the lot placement. I just noted it for next time.

I did learn something from testing this place though: don't place the Inflato Aqualounge on community lots: any Sim using them will take them home. This includes NPCs. There were two of them when I send Mother to test out the place (and take the pics) and none when she left again. One of the NPCs had taken the other.



Mother really liked this place (though she didn't understand why I forced her to use two toilets and take three showers):

The Peel Residence
Located in the Community District, close to the swimming pool and in walking distance to both the school and the police station, the Peels' little home has everything its intended inhabitants need, including a small playground in the back and a small study downstairs. There is plenty of room to start a garden, adopt a pet or take up a hobby.



Will Lemon Peel find the love of his life on Redemption Island? And will he ever be able to travel again, stuck with his two little brothers now that their parents have died? Will he be able to follow his dream in this new land... and become the Super Spy of a whole new world? Or will he come to resent his younger siblings, who need his guidance and his protection to grow into nice young men?

The art gallery is beyond fantastic! WOW!

Thanks . It's one of my personal favourites as well. It took several attempts before the spark of inspiration hit though. (I wish that same spark would hit with some of the other buildings though <.<.)

The Little Residence
Located in the Community District, right behind the school, the Littles may be a bit far away from the military base for some of the members, but with three school-going children, the town centre is a better place to live than the military quarters. When the Littles move into town, there isn't that much around yet. The only community buildings are a greenhouse, the pool and an art gallery.

The house has enough bedding for eight, enough dining space for 12... but there  will be routing issues when all of them are home.

The Song Residence
Part of the poorest district of Redemption Isle. This house is one of the only single-story buildings on Redemption Island, but it is large enough for its three inhabitants.

Lot: 20x16 Residential

As soon as Orchestra grew into an adult, she persuaded her parents to leave their home in Bridgeport behind and move... anywhere. Redemption Island seemed as good a place as any to start a new life, away from the pointed stares and disapproval of the vampire community back home. The Songs hope Redemption will be a place where a witch and a vampire can be deeply in love... and where their 'misfit' of a daughter, the human Orchestra, will have a chance to make her dream come true.

LTW: Hit Movie Composer

The Parson Residence
Lot: 20x20 Residential.

The last of the original batch of buildings... and of the first four families to move to Redemption Island.

Direct neighbour of the Songs, the Parson family arrived on Redemption Island on the very same day. Jess and James Parson and their four children Kim, Pim, Wim and Tim left their old home behind after Jess' unfortunate accident. The meteor that took her live also took her sanity, as the young woman believed her husband would leave her for someone more... alive.

But James didn't abandon her. They had been boon companions ever since Kindergarten... and even though Jess may now be dead, she is still the woman of his dreams. Even though the shock and fear has turned her character upside down... He hopes to rekindle their relationship, regardless of the personality changes in his beloved Jess.
