Building Contests 2012: 5 - The Place to Perform

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

Your Task:
The Curtains are up, the lights are on and the crowds are gathered. It will soon be Showtime, however there is one small problem in the whole plan of things. There isn't a Venue? How can you perform without a Venue! We need your help to provide the budding musicians out there a place to show off their talents! Can you rise to the challenge to help them rise to fame?

Specifications:

• Lot Type: Community
• Budget: None
• Lot Size: Any
• Other: Must have:
  • A Stage of any form, be it foundation, platform or any other method.
  • Musical Items, e.g Stereos and Instruments on the Lot
  • You may not just use a Large Venue to enter, it must be a Private Venue, Live Show Venue or a Coffee House.

Technical Details:

• If you do not own The Sims 3 Showtime you can still enter and we would love for you to do so. If you set your Lot as a Hangout/Park or ordinary Community Lot.
• Those with The Sims 3 Late Night but not The Sims 3 Showtime can also set their Lots to be any of the Lot Types from Late Night, if they wish.

Current Status: You may Start at 12:00am on Monday 12, 2012

Contest Start Date: 12:00am, Monday, March 12, 2012   
Contest End Date: 11:59pm, Thursday, March 29, 2012 (Extended)

Sorry Samhot and Lilly I am going to have to give this one up as a bad job. I really wanted to enter every building contest this year but I just don't have the time or patience to do this right now. I am still figuring out what all the shinny new showtime objects do.
If I had another week or so to play about with it I might be okay but right now I am just getting irritated by the fact that the vision in my head looks nothing like the monstrosity that I have created on the screen in front of me.

Code Block, by Ausette

Lot Type: Exclusive Lounge
Lot Size: 20 x 15
Cost when placed on 20 x 15 lot: $59,988 ($32,673 unfurnished)
Contains Ambitions, Generations, Late Night, and Pets Content

Code Block was built in preparation for the latest wave of musicians, magicians, and acrobats. It’s the best place in town to see bright lights, bright colours, and bright young performers strutting their stuff.













Can be downloaded on its main thread, here.

I don’t actually possess the Showtime EP (yet), but don’t worry; I made sure Code Block’s platform was large enough to hold a Showtime stage. 

Note on the screenshots: I had to move the gates leading to the areas behind the bars one space across due to routing issues. Apart from that, they’re accurate.

Building Contest-A Place to Perform
Name: Fresh Meals and Coffee
Lot Type: Coffeehouse
Lot Size: 30 x 40
EP and SP: World Adventures, (Umbrella) Ambitions, (Decor) Late Night, (Bar, Decor) Town Life, (Rabbit Hole Bistro) Master Suite, (Windows)Showtime (Most of the lot!)
When you go out and watch a good performance, there are few times when you can also get good food and coffee. But at Fresh Meals and Coffee we hire only the best staff and performers so if you want to watch a show, and you want something to eat, it’s the perfect place.

The first floor boasts the Bistro and seating, stage and bar.

The second floor has a karaoke, jukebox and bathroom.

The outdoor Bistro seating also has a DJ booth so you can listen to awesome hits while munching.

Inside, the bar is only run by professionals. Watch him or her make a professional drink or have one yourself.

Upstairs dance to the beat of the jukebox or sing with friends or friends or watch them.

The main part of Fresh Meals and Coffee is the stage! We have at least one performer a week!

Inside: Oww! You hit me!
Magician: Don’t worry folks! Just a way of getting revenge!

Four Stars Performance

Lot Type: Community - Private Venue
Lot Size: 40 x 30
Price: Furnished - $88,145
         Unfurnished - $42,657
Content: All EPs, including Showtime, and All SPs. No store content

Open for comments when the time comes.

Description: Four Stars Performance - We could have added  the fifth star, but then we couldn't have let in the general public, and Four Stars is not to be missed! Four Stars features a stage big enough for a band or any other performer, plus a DJ booth, two karaoke machines, and a full bar.

From the curb. Doesn't look like much from here, but trust us, the views get better!

An aerial shot of Four Stars. At night, each point of the roof lights up. The second story is a series of stars, while the main floor is one giant star...hence Four Stars. And yes, we meant to leave off the roof on the top point.

And here's why...Balcony seating over the stage area.

The second story has the two karaoke machines.

The stage area. There are three small dance floors directly in front of the stage, giving fans a chance to steal a feel from the band. The stage is set up for a band to perform, but can be easily converted to accomodate any other performer.

In one of the points, there is a simple dressing room. It has a vanity and couch, plus a jug of lemonade for the performer to enjoy.

In the point opposite the dressing room is the bathroom.

On nights when a band isn't performing...or whenever the band is taking a break, we have a DJ booth set up to keep the crowd dancing!

This is where Ms. Catarra will be found. No, she won't be drinking nectar all night. She will be serving those tastey mixed concoctions. 

This is an overhead shot of the main floor to give you a better idea of the layout as well as allow you to see the big star!

If you are looking for an awesome place to perform, look no further than Four Stars!

Sorry, I got the wrong date down, Lol. It's Sunday the 25th at 11:59pm it ends. I edited my original post to reflect this. 

[ratchie]

Thank you for that.

Now I just need my husband to take the kids to the park for about seven hours on Sunday and I can get some building done.

[Neashaleigh]

I really really want to enter this competition, but I've just literally moved house and only got my computer up today, so I don't think I'll be able to have anything ready by Sunday. What a shame because it's one I was really looking forward to doing


Good luck to all the contestants. They all look great!
