Hello! Thank you so much <3 and no worries lmao i'm happy to know my stuff is still relevant after all these years. I haven't been active here in quite some time...

I used to follow a bunch of sims 4 creators and ccfinds blogs here on simblr to find stuff I wanted to convert. For sims 3 I don't really know who's active anymore... @pis3update comes to mind. My own is @hyper-finds but I only reblog stuff I personally want and it's not tagged. Oh and @katsujiiccfinds @gifappels-stuff

For my Dead End Coffee Shop I was inspired by a coffee stand at a Halloween festival I went to! For building/decorating stuff like that I turn to Pinterest for inspo on what I want it to look like. I've also looked at shops and things in cities around the world that resemble the sims 3 world I'm playing in so I can get a feel of what the architecture should look like. So for instance if your world was like a PNW inspired world I would google "coffee shops in Seattle" or "coffee shops in Gig Harbor" for smaller town feel and look at the photos. And also good old fashioned imagination haha I'm not sure if that's actually any help I just don't know of any tutorials and wouldn't know where to find one haha on that note: DEFINITLY add a little coffee shop to your world, no world is complete without one

I'm happy to see the sims 3 community still thriving and posting :) Sims 3 is the best one in the series imo. @gruesim is probably one of if not the best person to ever grace simblr, i vividly remember the era when everyone's sims were having babies and she was posting the cutest baby cc right and left. And her tutorials are unmatched.

Have a great day/night and keep on simming :)
