The Welcome Wagon Dropped By To Greet Gia And She Got Super Lucky Because There Was No Fruitcake In Sight.

The welcome wagon dropped by to greet Gia and she got super lucky because there was no fruitcake in sight.  

Although things took a negative turn soon after.  About an hour later the neighbors ditched, all the while complaining bitterly that they didn’t feel welcome just because poor Gia ran off to use the bathroom for all of a minute.  

Gia: Jeez, high-maintenance much?!  So I take it I won’t be getting any block party invites any time soon?

Salt Water Taffy Vacation Homes (Replica Challenge #3)

I’ve been enjoying seeing all the homes that simmers have built for @redhotchilisimblr‘s replica build challenge and I actually had a little time this week to try it myself.  

It’s a work in progress but will be available for download soon.

There are four vacation homes, each named after a salt water taffy flavor: strawberry, key lime, banana, and blue raspberry.  

All the homes are decorated identically and have a main floor with a living room, bathroom, kitchen, and mini office and a second floor loft with a bedroom and lounge area.  

The roof varies from the reference photo because I really wanted an upstairs loft.  

Was well under budget until I decided to add a resort area with a pool, hot tub, outdoor movie lounge, massage tent, entertainment stage, bar/snack bar, beach area, recreation room and gym.  What can I say… I’m a maximalist!

Gia Harlow soaking up the bright Oasis Springs sun and looking pretty pleased with herself too.

Wow, it’s an honor to be included on your favorites list Jen!  I’m such a fan of yours - actually your blog was one of the first I followed & you inspired me to start building & create my own simblr.  :)

Do you have any favorite MM blogs that post builds or gameplay? :)

Hi Anon! Every time I make one of these lists, I forget someone (or several someones), but here’s an attempt! Also everyone’s idea of Maxis-match is a little different, so I apologize if these don’t fit with what you are looking for! These are mostly builders/decorators with some gameplay mixed in (or gameplayers with some building/decorating mixed in :).
