Very sorry if this has been answered or is obvious, but am I correct in understanding we can use any content?  Or is it any content minus paid store content and 3rd party?

It is any content of an EP or an SP but not anything from the store or 3rd party CC. So, nothing you bought with simpoints, including objects that came with store worlds (except Riverview since that's free).

[Odinsdottir]

Thanks. What about buydebug items that came with expansions and stuff packs?

[Odinsdottir]

Icicle Market Square (Visitors Allowed)
Lot Size: 30x30
Lot Value: 24,964
Content Used: All Expansions
Registers:  Consignment, Elixir, Comic, Book, Food, Nectar, Relic (plus bake sale stand, all four seasonal food stands, and a winter photo booth)
Description:  The Steeluminum Roofing Association built the bandshell and market square in an effort to showcase the "beauty and versatility of the most modern roofing option available to simkind."  Whether their roofing product makes it off of the barn and onto the home remains to be seen, but they did create a vibrant open air market for the whole family to enjoy.

Shoppers will love browsing for treasure amongst the many stalls.  The book nook has everything from vintage mint edition comics to the latest bestsellers.  Consignment central offers a great chance for bargains from the elixir vendor and used goods reseller.  Ancient artifacts and relics from around the globe can be discovered at the antique dealer's booth - no tomb raiding required!

The open air food court can refuel even the savviest shopper, and if that's not enough the artisan food fair has a dedicated nectar vendor, a specialty food register, and a bake sale stand ready to satisfy any sweet tooth.  Take a break from the bargains and watch the live musicians on the main stage.  Kids will love the play area's bouncy riders and large sandbox.  Parents will appreciate the Sunflower Snooze area where they can put their little ones down for a refreshing nap. 

In any season for any reason, be sure to visit the Icicle Market Square!





Note:  Holiday house light options can be set by clicking on the bathroom doors.  Be sure to play around with them - they're a lot of fun on all of these roof lines!

Not sure what to do first? Stop at the Market Newsstand to pick up a periodical and learn your way around.



Of course, being a farmers market, the fresh produce and flowers are an attraction.



There are some more unusual booths as well. Richter's Relics, for example, specialising in relics discovered in earthquakes. The next booth over is Heavenly Light Candles.



The corner booths appeal to those with unique interests. On the left, Ecouture, designed for those who are environmentally conscious, and on the right, Aleister's Mobile, the Market's elixir shop and supernatural centre.



Literary-minded individuals will want to have a look at the old and new books of Bibliophile. Comic book and science fiction fans will love Geektopia. For everything else, there's Gnome and Sundry.



Make sure to stop by the Market Boutique, men's and women's clothing in the latest styles and the lowest prices. It's conveniently located near the facilities for your ease in trying on your purchases.



Don't worry, the youngest, furriest, and most sweet-toothed members of your family are taken care of as well. From left to right, check out Sugar High, Toys Ahoy, and Cuddles Pet Supply.



Now, everyone's favourite--the Snack Shack! Let us serve you some nectar, hot drinks, or pastries, or visit the food register to get any kind of food you can imagine. Behind the Snack Shack are picnic tables conveniently located near the registers and in front of the stage, so you can have dinner and a show! Performances every weekend and several evenings throughout the week.



After your fun-filled day at Hometown Farmers Market, commemorate the experience by taking a snap in the photo booth with your family or friends.




Hometown Farmers Market--feels like home, wherever you are!

RaiaDraconis's Comment:

"Wow. I am absolutely blown away by this. There were so many amazing entries, and everyone had such fun and diverse ways of meeting the challenge. Thank you so much—I am truly honored!

I tried to give the venue a sort of renaissance faire feel to it. I've always loved the ambiance in places like that, plenty of places to shop and plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors with family and friends. The lot size constraint proved to be my biggest hurdle. I wanted to add so much more (namely topography), but in the end simplicity was the key, and overall I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Many thanks to LilyGirl, Ausette, and samoht04 for coming up with such an enjoyable challenge!"
