Media office building WIP.
I changed the windows and added a glass roof awning with columns over the doors. I quite like it :)

Media office building WIP.

A smaller office building WIP. I wanted a small, simple building for office units to rent but I think I’ll make this into a media office for the Journalism career instead.
Corporate Logistics Co, 523 Business Drive, Town Center (40x30)
The layout of the ground, first and second floor. I’ve changed the size of the offices on the first and second floor a few times, but I might change them again because I’m not sure I want that many offices to decorate. The rabbithole rug will be on the first floor in the middle, I like the large windows on that floor.
I’m not sure how I’ll use the second floor. I like the idea of office space to rent, maybe self employed sims can hire an office on that floor for whatever they want. Or I might build another smaller lot for that. I’ll think about it some more.
Lazy parking space.
I’ll be adding parking spaces on community lots if space is available since my sims love to drive everywhere! I can’t say I disapprove because I’d rather they have cars than take taxis everywhere. I wish we had chargeable parking meters though - I like any reason to make my sims spend money lol. I thought I could make use of the ticket machine from the EA barrier door set, but the machine is too big and doesn’t really look right on parking spaces. Instead I decided to script a custom content parking meter (ATS3) as the petrol mod so sims can fill up their car with petrol while they’re parked. A lazy parking space, if you will lol.
I’ll do this on all community lots. It also helps solves the problem of having to send a sim to a petrol station to fill up when they’re running low, they can just do it on whatever lot they’re on. And you only need one meter on the lot for it to work! :) I might edit the petrol mod and reduce the number of journeys it will take before the car needs more petrol too. That way they’ll have to spend money more often :p
Business building exterior WIP.
Boardroom WIP.
I’m sticking to my usual go-to neutral colours of grey and brown to match my other buildings, I’m not very adventurous with colours. I’ve decided to use the big windows that was used on the ground floor throughout. They do expose the rooms somewhat but I’ll put up some blinds for privacy. It reminds me of an office building I used to work in :)
Edit: Someone just messaged me - an anonymous message, which I thought I disabled - saying that my building looks more like a school than a business building! LOL I’ve never seen a school like this, but hey I’m just an old fuddy-duddy :p
Thank you to @simshai91, I’m glad you can see it looks like what it’s meant to be, that’s reassuring for me to carry on :)
I’ve been moving the business building around Arendale, trying to see where it looks best - if it will jolt some ideas in my head of what to do next. I placed it at the corner across the road from South Canal on the concrete area. That space is actually called ‘Business Drive’ :D
Hm, well alrighty then, that’s where it stays lol.
