* Ivy Hill Library

I've not played my game in what feels like months - certainly since before the beginning of October, and I'm finding it hard to get back into it - not necessarily a bad thing, when you consider that my real life suffers when I can think of nothing but *the game*! I'm still on a one woman mission to completely revamp Twinbrook, before I get stuck in and play it - but my commitment to the project is wavering through sheer boredom. Not playing as I build, takes some of the fun out of it.... so I reckon I may take a break from Twinbrook and see what Betty is up to in Riverview, or have a mooch around Sunset Valley and see what comes up...

In the mean time...

* Red Oak Fire Station

I found an image of this (or very similar) when googling firestations for inspiration to help me build one for Twinbrook - I fell completely in love with the romantic architecture and so I built it for the sims. I think it's one of my personal favourites, yet.  Huge thankyou to Soil and Em for playtesting it for me *kiss*.

* Twinbrook and Twallan

Even though I finished this lot some time ago, I hadn't play tested it. Good job I did, as Sims were standing in the midst of a tree trunk to BBQ hotdogs, and there was an orderly queue forming around the one BBQ I'd bothered to add - this has all been rectified and it's now available to download at the bottom of this page.
I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew with Twinbrook - I've decided to rebuild and remodel the entire neighbourhood, including all of the residential lots, some of which are already available at S3M.

* River Junction Folly

Twinbrook now has it's very own lighthouse. I couldn't leave the beach in it's original state, with a tiny pavillion/band hut and sod all on the beach but a couple of brollys and picnic blankets - so I built a lighthouse, in the middle of the swamp, on the river bend. It's a bit random, but call something a folly and you can build anything anywhere. There's a spiral staircase through the centre of it, all the way to the top floor, and the viewing platform is completely useable. The lot has been playtested. I've left the interior of the lighthouse bare, save for toilets. You can fill each level with whatever you choose, or nothing at all.

* End Of The Line Boxcar Diner

I asked a question about Rabbit Holes at The Sims Daily , and the response was such that I thought I'd share some of mine. Urged on by Ninoo (Sunset) and her like of downloads that contain very little or no cc, it made me think that some of you might like what I've done with some of mine. If you don't, that's fine, but there's no need to tell me ;0)

* Hydrangea House

I'm very slowly rebuilding the whole of Twinbrook, in a similar fashion to the way I'm rebuilding Riverview. But there's more building than revamping going on in this one. My latest offering is a small starter home, only made possible because of the *wandHere* cheat that's part of Awesomemod. It drops the price of all objects etc, to the lowest *used* price, and makes a home more affordable for my/your sims.

I've lots more in the pipeline, but have been incredibly busy just recently, helping to create and organise a brand new sims forum, with five very good friends. You'll have to check back in for more information over the next couple of days, but we should be opening up shop on Tuesday at some point.

* Magnolia Heights

I'm on a roll... having a clear out... sorting my game files... I have cake to eat and no time to eat it.

This one's a bit like the tardis - bigger on the inside. It has 3-4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. It's unfurnished as I haven't built it for any sim in particular, I just built it to fill a gap, and because I could. It's not the prettiest of *lots*, but it fits in perfectly to the somewhat swampy atmosphere in Twinbrook - and you can always change the colours to suit your own game!

* Prudence Place

Unbelievably, this is a new build! Yes - I do build residential lots from scratch too... occasionally. This one was for the Prudence family, from Twinbrook. I really didn't see the point of the lot they were in, big space, small house, bit crabby and dingy. I used the *wandhere* cheat that's a part of awesomemod, to lower the price of the place.

* Twinbrook Community Gardens

I've never really played Twinbrook. It's always seemed like quite a depressing little neighbourhood with severe architectural issues.... and the resident Sims have never really taken my interest....
