I've always been such a fan of distressed/dilapidated lots - the Apocalypse (Challenge) fanatic in me is squealing with delight!

I had to have this-mostly because your story was just plain fantastic. Apocalypse, indeed! Love it

I think the lot looks great, for a horror at the end of the world film script. But I really wanted to compliment you on your story telling. I was hooked. Is there going to be a Sim movie or an original novel to follow up? ;-)

Gorgeous! I'm always impressed by your ingenuity--specifically in this case, that awning tarp...it's "awn-some" My downtown is full of your glittering skyscrapers but this is a little closer to reality for most of my sims, lol! I always look forward to seeing what you get up to testing the limits of good ol' build & buy mode. Thanks for all you have shared.

"Thus spake Zarathustra!" (I was so impressed by your story that I googled you and at least found out where your name came from). I guess creative people can be creative in whatever way they choose. The fact that this lot is 20,000 just adds to its genius.

This lot blows me away. It's SO creative and well done, with not a spec of CC. Wow. Thanks for sharing!

@FranH @atymer @KarenLorraine @triciamanly Glad you guys liked the story! I wasn't sure how well it would work to do the description that way, but a conventional description for a lot this small just seemed boring! I tried to copy the feel of Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" with the story as best I could- that might be the most depressing apocalyptic setting ever- The Walking Dead looks like a tropical vacation by comparison! It might be interesting to try to make a Sim version of that story though, if anyone is so inclined!

Love this! And guess what? This lot I am not just going to admire from afar, I'm actually going to use it! I love run down lots. I don't have a homeless family in Coral Bay yet, but I know where I will putting them when I do.

How horrible! I love it! And your story just "makes it". That looks like Sindrin on your page, can you share the meaning?

Haha, glad you like my apocalyptic vision! I assume you're referring to my banner photo- it just says "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" in the Original mode for English.

The red letters, like your avatar? "Original mode for English" ..don't know what THAT means. But don't mean to be starting a conversation, just thanks for the downloads. I've been watching your lots for Sims3, such beautiful Asian work! Don't have 3, but used to enjoy playing an Asian hood, with custom skins and hard-to-find clothes.

Uhhh... I've never played TS3 in my life, and I don't think I've even posted any photos of the few East Asian buildings I've made for TS2... so as happy as I am that you like "my" work, I think your praise there really should go to someone else!

How do I go to sleep on this lot? When my Sim goes in the tent, his energy meter does not go up.

Sleeping in a tent is a two-step process- you have to direct your Sims to get inside the tent, and THEN you can tell them to sleep.

Oh I love this! But... I don't have all the expansions loaded, my machine would croak I think. Anyway, is there anyway you'd consider adding a version for people who have only basegame, or up to NightLife maybe? Oh good grief this is soooo good! And a tent! Lovein it!

Amazing what you can do with Maxis objects and a few cheats. If anyone does a Sim movie/game of The Last of Us, this should definitely be the stage lot. :)
