2×2 Community Lot – Dining – Cafe
exteriors interiorscafe

Requested by pleasant-lives! It’s been awhile since I uploaded a lot, and I tried really hard to include recolors and master meshes that didn’t package, so bear with me here.

  • I have all EPs and SPs.
  • The building has three floors but only the bottom level is furnished. I just wanted the upper levels for aesthetic purposes. 🙂
  • Included in the .rar is a folder with master meshes, Maxis recolors, add-ons, and other files that didn’t package.
  • I tried really hard to include only the recolors that were used to cut down on file size, but in some cases I couldn’t remember the exact recolor (such as which iCad color I used for the cafe table) or the file name was too non-specific for me to weed out. Sorry about that. D: But the folders are descriptively named so you can pick and choose what you want/need.
  • I bulk-renamed my files at some point – please be aware of this, as my files may not necessarily overwrite yours, resulting in duplicates.

THINGS I COULDN’T FIND (and thus didn’t include):

  • “Surreal Grilled Cheese” painting in dining room (any ideas???)
  • whatever godforsaken counter recolor I used in the cafe – OH! Speaking of cafe counter, I used (but am not sure if I packaged?) this amazing invisible espresso bar recolor, allowing you to use it with whichever counters you want. 😀

OPTIONAL PAINTINGS:

I included the painting recolors by selenaq13 that I used because I utilized basically the entire set, but for other paintings dispersed throughout the lot (two random paintings in the restrooms, and one in the cafe), I didn’t think it was necessary/prudent to include a ton of recolors for something that could be so easily changed. The ones I used, however, can be found by slyndseysims HERE and voleste HERE or HERE

ABOVE ALL, PLEASE USE THE CLEAN INSTALLER, I BEG YOU!

Side note: I didn’t get to play test this lot yet. D: I don’t anticipate any major issues/routing problems, but of course I will update immediately should anything come up. 

And as always, if you come across any problems, or if a piece of custom content is still missing, feel free to send me a message! 


UPDATE 6/4/16 – Some of my lots apparently carry the Super Duper Hug Bug. If you are unfamiliar with the bug, you can read more about it HERE. If you don’t already have it, BoilingOil’s No Sim Loaded will prevent the bug from “infecting” your game. If you already have the bug, the mod will suppress it. Either way, it’s a must-have.

Two replacements using Reira’s shoeswap of Io’s Lola dress. This dress was already defaulted by Alienpod, but I’m not a fan of the clunky boots on the original outfit. Also, I can never have enough t-straps. ❤ 

Adult default replaces this base game outfit and is also yf-enabled. Teen default replaces this base game outfit. Both use the original red and blue recolors.

Business-casual edition!

This base game outfit replaced with an outfit by tomwood1906. I know this one has been defaulted several times, but I like the grey suit/blue shirt combination best, okay? So, options!

Then there’s a replacement for this base game outfit using Yuxi’s Primrose suit in black. Again, another one that’s been defaulted several times, but not for this specific outfit as far as I know.

this download, number 28, brings an end to my 3k followers gift extravaganza.  i would like to thank all of you again for following me and hoped that at least one of the downloads shared this week made its way into ur game.  my final gift for all of you consists of 22 recolors of the maxis transcendence painting with pictures from my fellow simmers! i was trying to think of one more gift to end this series of downloads with a bang, and then this came to mind! these pics are by the simmers who have inspired me and who make me soooo happy to be a part of the ts2 community (even tho there are 2 ts3 pics in there smh @ angelapleasant and nightofthelivingbonehilda) if i forgot someone or ur not on here, im rly sorry, i would honestly have done soooo many more but i was getting kind of burned out and also i didnt want this to be too huge so i ended up just using pics from ppl i have interacted with and/or heavily inspired me on a fairly regular basis.  if ur not cool with me using ur pics for this pls lmk and ill get rid of it, i jsut didnt ask everyone cause i wanted it to be a surprise? i hope thats okay.   anyway. thanks again to everyone for following me i appreciate it so much you all are endlessly inspiring and help me step my game up~

OMG how cool is this?!? I am so stoked to see one of my screenshots up there, especially among the work of so many talented simmers! I mean, just LOOK AT ALL THOSE PICS. *_*

Can we all just agree that Drew is amazing and one of the sweetest members of this community? I can’t imagine a person more deserving of 3k+ followers, and I especially can’t think of another person crazy enough to make a week’s worth of gifts for us all! YOURE THE BEST DREW

Hi! I remember you saying that you made your own skin genetic set up, I was just wondering if you’d be able to share it? :)

Hi anon. 🙂 I’ve uploaded my geneticized skin setup HEREI take no credit for any part of the skins except for tweaking their genetic values in SimPE. 🙂

Setup includes:

My defaults are not included in the download – I recommend you get them as my genetic scale is based on those four tones. I’ve included a text file with my values so you can see where each skintone is on the scale. 

Feel free to delete whichever ones you don’t want before using them. As vimpse put in her post here, should you use this geneticized set-up, you will not be able to easily remove them. It will involve a lot of messing around to fix and may potentially bork the genetics of all future Sims born in the hood. So while I don’t mind sharing my geneticized skin setup, I just want you to be sure this is the setup you want, too, because it can’t be readily changed later.

Now is as good a time as any to recommend making back-ups of your hoods before trying something new!
