Hi

Was wondering where this desk came from

Thanks

Hi,

Apologies for the late reply, I haven't opened the game in months and lost this ask in the notifications.

HERE is the desk.

Have a great one!

Important announcement about SimPearls

It is with a very heavy heart, that Betsy and I have decided to close SimPearls next year. We are both getting too old and sick to carry on. Our hosting runs out in February and rather than pay £1,166 to renew for another 3 years we have decided to call it a day. If the group was still busy we might have considered it, but it's really too much money for the few loyal members and not fair to ask them for donations. It was a wonderful complete forum for nearly 10 years. It was one of the, (if not THE best) forums around. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our past and present staff, designers and loyal members for the time and content you have given to SimPearls over the years.

We will close late January, which hopefully will give everyone time to save what they want. We will be disabling registrations from today but will open the forum up for everyone to access any downloads/links they wish to save

Kind regards Kim & Betsy

Farewell, SimPearls!😭🤍

I'm particularly in love with those rug recolours that give the impression of waves, out from the sea, under the table.

Beach House - Revisit

Today I'm revisiting a very old beach lot that I transferred from my old PC.

It was featured in these posts: Bedroom, Study, Dining & Bath, but I never got the chance to show it in its entirety. It's a pretty minimalist, bare lot that if I were rich, it would be my cave.

More posts to follow. Many thanks, as always, to all the creators whose cc can be seen in the pictures! <3

Happy Easter, dears!

I've been obsessing over @kerriganhouse 's Toile sets and was ecstatic to see they were kindly converted to TS2 by @pinka-style for SimPearls 10th birthday! Thank you both for creating & converting them - they make me so happy just by being there to look at! <3

Cofetaria “Lira” - “Lira” Confectionery - Small Park

A former small little park from my hometown, that was not originally next to the confectionery IRL, but close-by. I found it was small enough to be included on the same lot.

Ground floor confectionery with some lilac and baby blue accents

Where I imagine the popular 'Savarine' were served and the less-known, now almost-forgotten 'Porumbita' roll (Little Dove).

Cofetaria "Lira" - "Lira" Confectionery

Hi Dears,

I've tried to revive a historical building from my hometown that now, unfortunately, is also in disrepair. It's 90% inspiration and 10% worked with what I had, cause 'sims limitation', but I chose to recreate it as an oldies confectionery with a top bookstore / library. Purely inspiration tho, no idea what it looked like back then, although my dad remembers it as a fond memory of grandma taking them there when they behaved.

Looking ok, might put it up for download later, idk.

Bit of history below:

The building displays the year 1882 and the initials P.N. on the balcony guardrail and is listed as historical monument, however, given that the owners did not invest in its renovation and neither did the authorities, it sits in a degradation state.

The ground floor seems to have always housed commercial spaces, with the earliest proof I could find showing that it functioned as a taylor's shop and then as a confectionery during the Golden Age of communism. Post-communist business expansion showed no mercy on the structure and façade of this building (and many others on the same street), with the original elements being taken down and replaced by hideous paint and plastic windows.

The first floor survived the butchering, with the original architectural elements and wooden window panes still in place, however it housed tenants of different kinds throughout the years, that allowed it to succumb to the test of time. 2023 brought the building back into the attention of the authorities, but only to assess its state as high-risk for seismic activity and to have the first floor tenants evacuated.
