Building Contests 2013: 7 - Market Mayhem

The Task:
There is nothing quite like a thriving market, the smells of fresh food and the sounds of the various amusement of children. Now it is your turn to create one, with limited funding. The town needs a lot that has it all for them: Consignment, Elixir, Relics, Books, Food etc. As well as entertainment! However most of your budget will not be going to a structure, the market is to be open-air and of whatever style you want: Flea or Farmer!


Additional Information:
You do not need the registers to make the stands. A good example of an open-air market is to be found in Union Cove!

Entry Specifications:

• Lot Type: Community
• Lot Size: 30x30 and Under
• Budget: $25,000
• Content Restrictions: There are no additional content restrictions.

Welcome to the Fayre n Square Open Air Market.

As it's your first visit, please allow me to point out the areas of interest:

The top right quarter, the Fayre Traders, is an excellent starting point. Here you will find costumier clothes, collectable comics, an abundance of books and a mini horticultural heaven.  All goods offered at fair prices.

If cash is short, walk on down to spend a penny or, if you're totally broke, dumpster dive for free. The Kiddy Convenience area contains a range of activities for the young and the young at heart. For your peace of mind, the children's' play area has been completely enclosed, so feel free to leave them play in safety whilst you walk on to the right.

The Whine n Dine offers a range of hot and cold beverages and foods: ready catered or barbecue your own.  Sit and sip and listen to the band or the crooners.  Don't be afraid to join in.

Finally, when you're ready, walk on up to Occult Corner.  Here you can have a magical makeover, discover your fortune or make your own with the wide range of potions, ingrediants and other antiquities on sale.

The Fayre n Square Open Air Market - fair and square or your money back.

Would a 40x20 lot be OK since it's the same area as a 30x30 lot?

Would a 40x20 lot be OK since it's the same area as a 30x30 lot?

No, a 40x20 is smaller than a 30x30. As 40x20 is 800 area, whereas 30x30 is 900. However don't use a 20x50 (1000) etc. until we've had a chance to discuss it, hopefully that won't take long.

Argh, once again my poor math skills strike back. But at least I did guess correctly in that a 40x20 lot would be OK. 

Thanks for the quick response.

Here's another one. What about 64x11?

It's 704, so I suppose it's fine. Am I wrong?

Furnished: §21,968

EPs Used: Everything up through Supernatural (No Seasons or University)

(Cars not included, and the green trees peering in from the left are part of a different lot...)

A quiet, rustic marketplace perfect for those leisurely family afternoons. Open-air stalls include a bookshop, consignment store, relic shop, nectary, and elixir consignment along with a small food court.

(The only thing that is decidedly not open-air is the lavatory, for painfully obvious reasons. )

Family activities abound, from fishing to Gnubb to the water slide, plus a lovely playground situated within a lush cherry tree grove.

The bookshop features a small reading nook for those who just can't wait to get home to read their new purchase.



The food stall, picnic tables, and a close-up of the central pond.



A close-up of the consignment and relic stalls at dusk. (unmanned...the sellers were playing tag )



The nectary and elixir shops, also at dusk.



Fishing in the pond. Part of the elixir shop is visible to the left, with the beehive right behind him, and part of the lavatory is visible to the right.



A family at play in the playground and Gnubb area.



And finally, a place just to kick back and relax after a long day of shopping and family play.

We still haven't made a decision about the area thing. So for now the safest option is to stick to the normal lot sizes where both numbers are bigger than or smaller than the minimum or maximum lot size. E.g. 30x30 is the max so you have to have a 30 or lower on both numbers.

Don't you mean 30 x 30 is the max since the rules say 30 x 30 and under and I've built and completed my entry on a 30 x 20.

It was an example but it probably should be appropriate to this contest's specifications. I'll change it now.

I have a question about the registers/stands. I don't have WA so am wondering if I have the cash registers mentioned since the only one I can find under community objects is the elixir/consignment register from Supernatural. Am I missing something or do the registers come with WA and I simply don't have them? Will I still be allowed to enter if I don't have them and is there a substitute I can use or can I just create specific areas to clearly denote where the registers should go?

Thanks in advance for your help.

You don't require the registers to enter, just make the listed stands. e.g. Have bookcases for the Books stand.
