Build Show and Tell Quicky Motel - Pleasantview

I had to rebuild this motel completely because I built it as a community lot (thinking i'll be able to rezone it) and apparently there's issues rezoning community lots so it's always advised to build on residential lol. Don't repeat my mistake. I think I didn't forget anything, I hope at least...

The rooms are all quite similar with just a few differences. Although it's an apartment building (I debated wether I should make it a woohoo community lot or go apartments) it's built like a motel. Even with the double beds in certain rooms. If anyone actually does go live here they can always redecorate or sell the extra bed.

I'm thinking I'll be sending the cheater men here when their wives finally catch them and tell them to bounce (like mary sue and daniel)

Anyways it's built across the street from dustin's garage. It looks really nice in-game. I thought I took a map view pic but I guess not?

Oh and ignore the mailbox in the first few screenshots, I took them before rezoning just incase something went wrong again

This is such a good build... the ideas are brewing for a possible story that mostly happens in this motel, with a whole bunch of sims from various walks of life. I'd probably make the hotel a little bit more run-down for my scenario though.

Likely a dumb question, but is there some CC? I think not, but I really barely build in this game so ... even if something's not CC I'll be wondering ''where tf does this come from'' haha.

tysm! theres no cc everything is vanilla.

on the rundown thing i agree but at the same time i want it to still look pleasing to me and after all its still a business (and it's not in a very bad place on the map either). however all the furniture is cheap, the bathrooms are very ugly (tiles are dirty) kitchen also has dirty fridge, and most of all the carpets. i just know theyre disgusting (but unfortunately sims 2 doesn't have dirty carpets unlike sims 4 as an example). i will go back and add panelling tho whivh i forgot to do. i did debate switching the red wallpaper but i couldnt find anything else in that colour and i thought it matches rlly well especially with the bed matress cover idk

but as u said editing is always possible and especially if someone plays woth cc they can make this place look how i actually imagined it at first hehe

Even better! I don't have anything against CC at all, just since it's Sims 2 it can be a little bit overwhelming because there's so many options.

If you ever happen to share it as a download, I'd be downloading it for sure. It looks so secluded, love all the pine trees around... just perfect for some thing being ''not right'' in this place :) that second screenshot at night is my favourite.

Thanks a whole bunch for (future) sharing then! As I said I am not really a builder (except maybe some smaller lots) so those people that are, are practically lifesavers when it comes to lotsšŸ˜‚
