With feedback and inspiration from the helpful folks at The Sims Daily, I’ve built a nectary for Mt. Geneva! It sits on what I imagine to be Goth lands (the graveyard in the original Sunset Valley) and is owned by that family.
Three pages of picspam after the jump!
The style of the buildings matches the style of Nengi’s Goth Manor, which houses Cornelia, Gunther, and their daughter Lilah. Here’s a pic of Goth Manor, so you can see how heavily I was inspired by it!
Back to the nectary…some exterior shots:
There’s a courtyard with a bar, piano, tables, and chairs…I haven’t playtested everything thoroughly yet, but I’m hoping this will be a nice place for couples to go for a dinner date (or for drunken insanity, given how my playtest went…more on that later! ;-).
(continued on Page 2)
*faint* OMG, Jen, how do you do it?! You always nail so perfectly everything you touch!
Your nectary is magnificent! It perfectly matches with the Goth Manor, indeed. You managed to make the place perfectly “Goth” without being “gothic” (if it makes sense! *giggle*).
I’m specially in love with the open dining-area (huh… drinking-area!), with the arbour (? not sure how it’s called in english… That “open-roof” with flowers). The dark wood and the soberness of the cushions fit perfectly the place (not sure if we can talk about the soberness of your Sims, then! :p).
Your whole building has something very solemn, like a covent, or something.
This picture with the piano is amazing. *sigh*
I want to go there and have a glass of nectar at sunset!
Dooooh, silly me, I missed pages 2 and 3!!! *blushing of shame*
The inside keeps all the promises the outside gave! *swoon*
I think I’m in love with your garden shed. What an adorable addition, that little piece of roof!!! Awwww…
*mwaahahaha* at Chris!!!! *too funny* Sooooooo, you can’t handle nectar much better than Party drink, guy! (I can’t suppose he handles the Party drink better, seeing how his “date” with Agnes ended! :p)
Arbour sounds right, Sandy! *thumbs up* Or a pergola…I think they are interchangeable, but I’m not sure! :) And LOL at the soberness of the nectary not matching the soberness of my Sims! Thank you so much for your sweet comments, my dear! *smooch*
I want to marry you and have your babies. Fo’ shizzle.
I’d marry you in a heartbeat, Dee! :D
…the lighting. Oh God, the lighting. HOLY FREEZER BUNNY, THE LIGHTING.
It’s perfect. Simply put. Just…ugh. <3
Thank you, dear Cheezy! And I think “holy freezer bunny” is my new favorite phrase! :D
I continue to be jealous of your building and decorating skills, Jen! The nectary is gorgeous. Poor Chris. Looks like he should stick to plain old grape juice!
Audrey!!! Thank you so much. I agree that Chris should stick to grape juice! :-D I see that you’ve updated your blog…I’ve gotta catch up! :)
Ha ha ha ha! I’ve never seen a sim go cross-eyed before! The Nectary looked lovely, Jen. Ha ha, cross-eyed Chris! I’ve had such a rotten day, that I think I’ll be laughing about the drunken sim for a while. I know, “What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sim Dude”! Oh, frammit, now I’ve got that stupid song stuck in my head. Not my day.
LOL, love the song! Sorry you were having a rotten day, though. :( Belated hugs to you!!
As I said in SDF it is absolutely freaking gorgeous. Adore it as it looks so realistic!
Thank you so much, Speechless! :-D
