N99 Flags
I worked on a top secret recoloring project at N99. I had ulterior motives for asking about school colors and mascots, so that I could make flags, oodles and oodles of flags!!!

Craftman Bungalow with Basement Income Suite
I built a fairly large bungalow with a basement apartment. My plan is to move a family into the upper unit and have them rent out the basement portion as thier income property. Of course, the entire lot could be used as a residential house with a few modifications (ie, removing a wall or two). It's fairly large on a 2x3 lot, but extremely spacious. Ok, enough babble, here are a few photos of the lot.

Memorial Cemetary
I decided to seperate my existing church lot into two seperate lots, the church and the cemetary. Here are a few photos of the cemetary, which hubby said looks like a park. It's a small 1x1 lot

Weathered Fixer Upper
I made a trio of homes and Pru from N99 mentioned that they would be better on seperate residential lots, so I worked on the fixer upper one.

IMPROVED: Jessup Street (formerly Cinderblock) Rowhomes , 4-Unit
I modified my Jessup Street Rowhomes (Cinderblock Rowhomes) to be a bit larger. Now there are two 3 bedrooms and two 2 bedroom units. I added a bit more in landscaping as well and got rid of the breadfruit trees thanks to some information about lightening fires and trees.

Plato's Cove
One of my sims got pregnant...again. So they needed to move, which was unfortunate since their current place fits them so well. While thinking about the options available in my hood, I couldn't think of anything that was big enough or their style, so I built something for them.
I found an image online in the style I wanted
and ended up with this, funny enough I'm thinking about having this replace my High Dre Turnabout Rental Homes

Cottage Village
Dre from Neighborhood 99 suggested I try my hand at rental homes again and since I have a new family that I would love to move into a small rental/starter home, then I built something quickly.
Shot from my building hood, my attempt at building two such lots with a fake street bewteen. The orange brick house has a basement, so from hood view it looks like this, but on the lot it looks fine...not sure of why.
Here is a street view of the three homes.

Prospect Reduex
I liked the Prospect for Dee by Sims Urbania, but wasn't a fan of the multilevel ground floor apartment, so I redid the complex with a few changes.
The complex has a grunge vibe with hints of a bygone era of glamour to the apartments, but now time has caused its damage.
The complex has four apartments in different styles
The basement apartment is home to the resident rock-star wannabe bachelor. He dreams of stardom on the stage, but in reality spends his days doing landscaping with the occasionally side job of tending to the lady needs of some of the homes he is in charge of.
Animal prints galore and mirrors to open up the space and reflect light since there are no windows in the basement.
Check out the mirrors in the "love room" as he calls it ;)
Thr ground floor apartment is home to a psuedo single father and his twin sons. Mom is spending an extended holiday in the county jail thanks to "borrowing" money from her boss at the record store.
Dad works as a server at Mama's Diner and pulls a second shift as a janitor at a private school, which enables him to enroll the boys there for free tuition.
Every Saturday morning, they have pancakes and eat in front of the TV watching cartoons and morning football.
The boys are seven years old and still love cartoons and sports. Dad was lucky enough to sign them both up for the neighborhood soccor league and have thier equiptment donated.
The second floor apartment is home to a world traveler and current pyshic phone friend.
When not on the phone guiding sims about future decisions, she is hitting the thrift stores for great one of a kind finds.
So far she has been able to use her savings to travel to thirteen countries and
bring back souveniors. This is possible thanks to a strudy bookbag, popup tent and fast legs.
She is content with her wandering life and doesn't mind having to quit each job whenever she is ready to travel.
The top floor apartment is home to two sisters who moved to the big city from the country
The sisters have many touches of home to comfort them and sometimes just looking at mama's quilt is enough to bring back smells of fresh lard on the stove and the sounds of crickets in the nighttime air...instead of car horns and factory smoke.
They have thier own dreams, big sister wants to be a famous movie actress and is passing the time with selling ties until a famous director comes across her path.
Little sister, the more practical of the two, cleans homes as she experiments with flower arranging. Her goal is to attend the local technical university and one day work at a florist shop.
Until thier dreams come true, they are content with thier little slice of the city.

Everything is maxis mesh or recolor (except maybe buyable trashcan, maxis match windows and door)
