I believe I have gotten everyone's posts updated

@kanzen your link still works

We are down to under 4 days people! so the following people this is just a reminder that time is coming near to the end of the first round! After that I will send a sheet to the judges, and the timer will be set for one week, so that the judges have time to evaluate the contest I also want to remind everyone to double check and make sure you have all proper pictures up for the contest. (this, while a nice addition by play alongs, is not an absolute rule for them )
First of all the contestants who still haven't submitted I realize some are having issues, and I understand that, just let me know and I will give a couple extra days, and just ask judges to judge you last, but that is about the best I can do on that!

@maxon
@celebkiriedhel
@Sparkysays
@Karen Lorraine
@lauratje86
@pannisim
@Freelala
@Sparklypotato
@suzanne70

Then the play alongs.
@Phaenoh
@Peni Griffin
@Sunbee
@franfeliano
@RickandMorty
@porkypine

I realize as play alongs, it isn't as crucial on your part, so just letting you know, in case you wanted to get yours done in time with the others before the next round

Just to let you know, I started on a build but I've been pretty ill for the last few days. Hoping to finish before the weekend.

I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.
I'm here on tumblr and my site, tflc

Mine is still a Work in Progress but I should make the deadline

Want a specific style of house or community building? Why not take a look at my profile and see what I build and then come ask me to make it!

I'm expecting to finish my lot tonight and will get pics up either tomorrow or Friday morning. I've had some trouble with my game, but I got it worked out, and just have to put on the finishing touches!

Sonoran/California desert / restaurant



Welcome to the Tumbleweed Cantina. You can dine inside but most people prefer the shaded patio. There is a pinata for the kids to whack and a fountain to sit by while waiting for the bus.

The manager's office is upstairs. The shaded veranda is for staff and management to relax during breaks.

There is also a place for vaqueros to tie their horses when they come in to eat.

@gazania I love that wall candle fixture so much??? Where on earth did you get it? Also, I want to see more of your outdoor eating section! It looks so nice. The combo of the fencing and the gate, as well as the red/black color scheme do a lot to set the mood for the restaurant.

@justJones What an awesome facade you made! It looks just like an El Torito (an American Mexican food chain restaurant) I used to live nearby. The wooden support posts along the roof and sides of the restaurant add a lot of authenticity. I'm also loving the complementary relationship between the mango colored walls and the blue shutters near the doorways.

@OnayaW My favorite part of your build is the sneaky little creek/river running along the back part of the restaurant. I didn't notice it my first nor second time looking at your pics, but just registered its presence this last time looking. It really establishes the setting, especially with all the greenery around it. You've done a good job capturing the vibe of a mid-sized American fare restaurant. I've been in so many restaurants on road trips that look just like yours.

@porkypine Your use of bold colors and patterns are blowing me away! The multi-level structure and outdoor seating is really innovative, yet natural for a Mexican-style restaurant in the desert heat. Lots of shade to offer shelter from the sun. Great job!

TSR. It's a Dot fixture (Candle Wall Light). On TSR, you'll see the needed mesh at the bottom of Page 4: https://www.thesimsresource.com/dow...age/4/cnt/1587/

However, there is another place that you can get it (hums a popular KC and the Sunshine band song, "Shake, shake, shake your _______". )

I use this fixture quite often. It doesn't produce a whole lot of light, but it's a candle fixture, so really, it's not supposed to!

Thanks to ALL free-site creators, admins and mods.

RIP Sunni ... truly a ray of light.

@bbostic8
I’m surprised I got it so correct for something I made out from a faint memory. I just remember they had this pond they made themselves in that very bare desert
But I made it subtle by being in the back and made it seem
Well
Natural xD

The best part is you can see how people normally build in their games in many of them
Not saying it is correct

edit: I got the wifi to work and added in the backstories for the food carts that I thought of during the last 5 hours of driving. Now it's bedtime. Good jorb everyone!

Presenting, at last, my entry for round 1!

Welcome to Pine Tree Cafe and Bar! A mountain themed restaurant



This cabin sat for a long time on a small mountaintop overlooking a pond which was rumoured in the olden days to be behind a lot of sinister plans. It took a lot of love, TLC and some very generous drink deals to turn it into a place to meet with friends or family, enjoy some mixed drinks and enjoy a delicious menu of hearty favourites in the upstairs cafe.






I hope you enjoyed it! No amount of game corruption will set me back


Emma!

Playalong - Joy Luck Club and Restaurant

Kindly ignore the working title. I forgot to rename it before I took the picture, and picture-taking has been a pain in the neck. Fraps stopped working, even after reinstalling it, and I haven't figured out how to take screenshots with the new program without it taking me out of the game. I finished the lot ages ago, but have been struggling with the pictures. Which is why there's a couple of pictures here with gridlines. If I were competing I'd have retaken them but for a playalong I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Playtested in the college hood I was playing anyway.

The finest in Takemizan dining is now presented in a form accessible and comprehensible to Simerican tourists. We even named it after a book you might reasonably have heard of but haven't read. No need to take off your shoes, bend your legs into unaccustomed positions, or learn how to handle chopsticks! After eating, go out back and experience the Zen Garden, or into the Club building to learn as much as you're willing to about Takemizan culture, with karaoke, mah-jong, and tea! The simplicity of the decor will soothe your frazzled nerves and make you feel that broadening your mind isn't as hard as all that.
