Why is Tumblr deleting your posts??

This little cabin is one of those lots that I almost forgot about, but then I noticed it again and decided to give it a little attention. I considered making it into a mish-mosh of items to reflect this idea I have that runaway teen Sims go here to stay safe from the elements - sort of like each left some items behind - but then I ended up just decorating it with a single Sim (Lilith Pleasant) in mind, but I might go back and change it to my first idea at some point.

At the edge of Pleasantview lies a small road overlooked by the populace. It wasn't that the Sims of Pleasantview were ignoring the road purposefully, of course, but rather that Oak Street had long been known as a road with nothing to offer. There were no establishments there, nor were there homes.

At least, that was what the Sims of Pleasantview believed.

Tucked out of sight and hidden by the surrounding trees lay a small, simple cottage. It wasn't much to look at and it offered even less than some of the other homes around Pleasantview, of course, but it was somewhere safe, somewhere comforting. This small cottage had, at one time or another, housed teens who had set off from home after arguments and estrangement, remaining either until they'd picked themselves up enough to afford better accomodations or until they'd reconciled with those they'd left behind.

How are your curtains and things so high quality???

This is soooo beautiful!

Love the kitchen!

I love the gray and blue color scheme.

As the final part of the set of themed community lots for Pleasantview, 330 Main Street uses a more inset style to set it apart from 250 Main Street and 290 Main Street. The lofted upper level of the boutique has been removed, incorporating everything onto the ground floor instead.

Outside, there's a small area where Sims can wait for public transportation and a small lounge with a fire pit for Sims to take some time to just relax and enjoy the landscaping and fountain.

As part of the revitalization of the boutique at 330 Main Street, the residents of Pleasantview were asked to model for the shop's posters and photographs. The idea was to help the Sims of Pleasantview forge a more personal connection to the boutique's merchandize, and the initiative seems like it may just pay off.

The main goal for this lot was to use the same style as my makeover for 250 Main Street while also giving it something to make it unique and distinguishable, which is where the large archway came from. I have to admit I've always kind of hated this lot - it was one of those lots that exemplified Maxis' terrible decorating decisions (especially in the basegame).

I usually try to avoid changing the exterior walls too much, but I decided to break that personal rule for these lots (250, 290, and 330 Main Street), though my reasoning for each was a little different. In the case of this particular lot, I wanted to break some of the boxiness it had going on, and the space inside was just too much for what I wanted to do here.

The marketplace at 290 Main Street has been updated with a welcoming courtyard and outdoor lounge where shoppers can take a quick break or relax while waiting for their transportion to arrive. Kick back and relax as the fountain's water pours down, or take the time to watch other Sims rush around in the hustle and bustle of their daily errands.

As part of the revitalization of Pleasantview, the market decided to provide a greater selection of items every Sim might require when hosting a dinner party. From a greater selection of natural, locally sourced foods to bakery, wine, and plant selections, this local market is ready to serve the needs of Pleasantview's discerning Sims.

Meanwhile, the comics and games shop has updated its selection. It still offers a couple machines to allow shoppers to enjoy themselves with friends before they make their purchases. They're proud to offer every latest craze to grab gamers' attention.

I wanted to keep the colonial style of 105 Sim Lane while updating it into something more fitting for the Burbs. Several failed attempts at a working floorplan and a ton of lost inspiration along the way, and I finally landed on an end result I was proud of.
