Saint Greer Fire Department (SGFD) is my gift for all of you fabulous and amazing people. It's also a verrrry long overdue followers gift as I reached a certain amount of followers a while back that I never thought I would be able to achieve.
Anyway, SGFD is a fire department that I created for Saint Greer Islands. It can easily fit in any other world, however. Here are the details about it that you should know!
30x35 lot
If you play in Saint Greer then it belongs on the address of 1 Rose Garden
No fire poles, sorry. The architecture of the lot would not allow one :(
It costs 48,065 simoleons if you're curious enough to know.
- Expansions Needed -
All of them, I believe.
- Stuff Packs Needed -
Town Life
Fast Lane
These two SP's are essential. If you skip out on them you'll be missing out on a lot of details, especially in the garage bay.

And that should be it! I hope you enjoy the fire station. Please feel free to tag me if you have any gameplay pics. I really adore seeing others using my lots :D
The Goth Manor - A Resurrective Renovation (Little CC Necessary)
Or well... just a makeover! What better than a makeover to start the new year
About
In the 11 years, I've been playing this game, this was the only house in Sunset Valley I was always a bit too nervous to give it a makeover. Partially, that was of course because of the somewhat complex architecture of the house itself, but also for the fact of accidentally ruining the 'theme' of, what is the trusty Goth Manor we know!
However, in my latest rotational gameplay round, when I got to the house, I just felt that the more I played in it, the more... bland it felt? Especially compared to all the other houses in Sunset Valley that I had prettified (Whether small changes or massively). Thus, the end result!

Some of the goals
Initially, I started with some changes that just help regarding gameplay, and initially "quality of life changes".
Not sure about you, but Gunther for example, would never cook in the kitchen! Instead, he'd always just start barbequing hotdogs. This meant that my dude had to walk all the way to the fridge to get it... And that's why I decided to create an outdoor kitchen bit (Also, because in my game they usually have tons of parties).
In my save currently, Mortimer is also a teen, and usually when he becomes that, I have him explore some science-y skills. (Handiness, Science and Logic) Whereas as a child I'd have him pursue some creative skills as well as collecting bugs and sometimes gems. Usually, his bedroom is so small that all that stuff just doesn't fit, so it's now quite common in my saves to have him re-purpose the attic to his own (And add some more clutter to it to make it feel like an attic! )
Regarding the idea of the greenhouse, Cornelia happens to have the "perfect garden" lifetime wish, but the house doesn't nearly reflect any signs of her pursuing that. Therefore I felt that adding the tons of plants and 'harvestable plants' (and the greenhouse ) was the right thing to do. That way, she can happily take care of her garden and hopefully pursue her dreams finally! (She sure did in my game!)
Colour Scheme
Regarding the colour scheme, the original house had some interesting colouring going on. While it showed a good "old house is old" theme, it would also not show it as much in other parts of the house.
For example: The master bedroom would be all greyed-colored and old-looking, just like the attic, but the livingroom and the guest room were all fine and somewhat 'new' looking.
That I hoped to fix with coming up with a primary colour scheme for the interior: Green and red, with a touch of various 'aged' woods (since not all aged woods turn grey!). I also hoped to therefore give a really nice touch of a more 'rustic' parts of the house, but also something you might remember from the Addams family's house (primarily the 1964 one), but with more elements where you notice the house has been around and lived in for a long while. Hence the flower-patterned curtains :p
I also felt that regarding the outside, having a second colour with the white-greyish added a nice touch to the house. A lot of old victorian houses (particularly American victorian houses, usually renovated though), you notice that they usually went with a white and then a touch of whatever-colour-fits. I did feel that going with green just felt like a good move, since it also made it so it wasn't too "popping" with the greenery around it.
Architecture
While I didn't change too much, I was always bothered by the 'front door' (the part with the kitchen). Compared to the rest of the house, it just felt that the devs tried to fix it up a bit but didn't quite know how. So I decided to add, what a lot of victorian houses have, which is a porch! Might make it a bit more spooky too
Now, you might also wonder while looking upon the images and think: "Why the secret vampire basement?". I'm not sure either But in my save, I wanted to make a secret vampire "bed & breakfast" part, where they could hide from whatever endangerments they face. Because... Sunset Valley doesn't really have many places for them to go, especially compared to Bridgeport.

Hi everyone! I have built one of the shells in Boroughsburg and I wanted to share it with you all.I tried to use as little custom content as possible for me. It’s unfurnished because I have realized that I can’t furnish a house without using a ton of cc so I just left it empty. You can do whatever you want with it just please make sure to tag me as the builder.
This is my first ever upload so I’m very excited please be kind to me and if there is anything wrong with the link or the lot itself please let me know so I can fix it.
And I know this isn’t relevant but please stay home if you can and keep your social distance for yourself and your loved ones. xx
