Wedding venues
This was the june's theme at N99 and also Carla asked about wedding venues and I have a bunch of them in my hoods so I decided to take some pictures of some of them. All lots were downloaded at MTS2, I just redecorated them. I didn't took pictures of the owned lots because it was more troublesome, but there are more 5 or 6 places where weddings can happen, like the restaurant where Landgraab and Florence married and the venue where Gilbert Jacquet married.
Aridia - alien hood - only place
Aridia is brand new and small so I added just one place till now.
Pleasantview- main hood
Pleasantview have 2 places for weddings: the Goth's chapel and this place. The Goth's chapel also have a cemetery and is owned by Mortimer Goth. I added this place to make Mortimer & Bella wedding and Cassie & Don wedding but in the end I was lazy and married them at home.
Vacation Island - Beach destination - in Pleasantview
Little church near the hotels
I think Kato and Tarn should marry here.
Fake beach near the real beach
Small villa with several small business and a small church
Another place that I'm considering to marry Tarn and Kato.
Bluewater - in Pleasantview
Small venue
The Picasso married here and also Shakti and Teizo, from the Sun and the Moon challenge.
Beach lot
I almost married Landgraab and Florence here but I thought that it wasn't their style, really.
Downtown near the cemeteries - in Pleasantview
Olinda (the orphanage's maintainer) is going to marry here.
Downtown - The Vampire's Lair - near the cemeteries - in Pleasantview
I have a lovely couple of vampires who I want to marry here. Also, if Jeremy reach the point to propose Laurent, they will marry here.
That's it for now!

Constructo Challenge - The Go family (too many pictures)
The Go couple, Li and Hsiang, were living in a very old and improvised house at Nova Sedona with 3 children, a boy with 9 years named Su and a couple of toddler twins, a boy named Khai and a girl named Qin. The house was a mess because I didn't really decorated. The father, Li is a sim who I modeled after one of the Ephemera´s sim, I even made a skin to him. The "mother" Hsiang (he is male) is a sim who I modeled after one of the Yuxi's sims (but after that she gave me the sim and I could see that they don't look alike at all). They married at home (and I don't have pics) and had their children. Li is a knowledge sim with fortune as secondary aspiration, he works as a cooker in a chinese restaurant and gives finantial consulting (I'm translating, I have no idea how is called in english) at home. His hobby is arts and crafts and his LTW is improve 7 skills. Hsiang is a knowledge sim with family as secondary aspiration. He doesn't have a job. His hobby is cuisine and he is very neat (10 points) so he loves to keep the house nice and clean.
Some pictures in the beginning of the challenge:
My mission was to decorate a house that Mar gently build to us (thank you so much!) following the instructions posted here. Even with the house built, it was not easy but I had great fun!
Step 1: What is the most important room in the house?
The bathroom had to have all common things in bathrooms: toilet, sink, medicine cabinet (I love that they brush their teeth) and I chose a tub/shower combo because it is my favorite. Considering the couple have an "asian feeling" I chose to make the room very colorful. There is a table with champagne, beer and some refreshments to celebrate births. There is also a very comfy sofa to kill some time chatting or take a nap.
The walls are covered with colorful pictures and family portraits and the kids made some chalk drawings in the floor.
Step 2: The Kitchen
The kitchen was really, really important since Li works as a cooker and Hsiang's hobby is cuisine. I also had a small issue: when I started to decorate, Khai and Qin were toddlers but they were really close to become children so some rooms had to be adapted after the age transition. Also, by the rules, the kitchen should accommodate all residents plus 2 friends. While the kids were toddlers the kitchen followed that rule, since I added 5 chairs but once the grew up I didn't had chairs enough anymore.
The kitchen had no space to build a pantry so I just used a wood pantry in a corner.
There is a lot of clutter but it works fine. Hsiang loves to make comfort soup for dinner.
Step 3: The Entrance
The entrance room is so big that there was space to a lot of furniture. You can see all items requested like the burglar alarm, the telephone and coat hangers but I forgot to add a table for the bills because I always use the auto-pay. But I did my best to add pictures/paintings to all family members!
Here you can see the passage to the kitchen...
And here you can see the passage to the livingroom...
Step 4: Working on it!
I made a mix of working space, study space and hobbies space. Considering that Hsiang's hobby is cuisine I thought he already had plenty of space and preferred to give more space to Li (arts & crafts hobby) and Su, who needs to study and do his homework. I also made a corner with toys for the twins so the whole family could spend some time together. And is exactly what they do, it seems this room quickly became a favorite.
Step 5: Livin' Large!
They don't really use this room because none of them seems to be much interested in the television or the fireplace.
The style should be the fav style of Li, since he is who pay the bills and I thought I had made that but apparently he prefers the hobby room or his bedroom.
Step 6: To Sleep, perchance to dream
I must admit I got confused with the instructions here so I made an "exotique kind of oriental room" very colorful. I used one of the AL wardrobes with mirror at the doors and added a balcony.
Hsiang is very careful with his appearance ;)
Step 6-B: To Sleep, perchance to dream: singles room
We have 3 kids in the house, right? This bedroom have 2 stages: for a kid and 2 toddlers and for 3 kids.
For one kid and 2 toddlers:
For 3 kids:
Balcony:
Step 7: Grandma is coming to stay!
No, she is not. Actually she doesn't even exist. I preferred to make a magical cabinet since both Li and Hsiang are good warlocks.
Step 8: Sometimes you just gotta soak...
Luxury bathroom for the lovely couple.
They can definitely use a hot tub with petals. ;)
Step 9: Finishing the Building
Some external pics. Looks like a dollhouse because of all different walls that I used. I like it. :D
There is also a nice pond...
And a lovely corner to take some tea and spend some nice time...
And I added a small playground to the kids:
Step 10: Bringing the Elements together.
I didn't do this part. Actually, I could not understand what was the request.
To finish this long post some scenes of the family enjoying their new home:
Oh, wait. There is something missing...
Now we're done!
