HOHENZOLLERN ALLEE 72-76

a German-inspired 1950s apartment build + a furnished flat

A build download that was in the works for almost a month and made me realise how much I love building local architecture even though it's not the easiest within the constraints of TS4.

It's meant to represent a realistic German apartment build, that is a bit run down and yet still feels homey and nostalgic to those of us growing up near or in these buildings. There's one furnished flat that is ideal for 2-3 sims and furnished in a retro 60s-90s look, that I hope you'll enjoy! This is also a BIG 1K followers gift, with which I want to show my deepest appreciation to all my followers, thank you so much!!

More info, screenshots + DL link behind the cut!

First a little history/backstory to this build:

This build is something you'd see very often in Middle to Northern Europe, less so in the UK, because brick builds there look similar but also different and I based my build off of Northern German brick builds.

The red brick used for these builds dominates the townscapes in quite a few cities where I live and has been used for a few centuries (see Brick Gothic). This build that I based on a real building, however, is more modern and was probably built after WW2, as the design choices, like using tiles on the facades of brick builds is something distinctively 1950s. I know there are older examples, but these buildings usually have more design and decor elements on the facades. These red brick builds were built en masse starting with the 1920s and were usually meant for low-income households. The same goes for the 1950s brick builds, which were built on top of ruins of older buildings destroyed in the war and oftentimes were cheaply constructed and usually don't receive the same appreciation that older pre-war brick builds get, so quite a few are already being demolished for more modern builds.

So what do you get with this build?

Hohenzollernallee 72-76 is a 40x30 lot that I placed in Evergreen Harbor on the Sprucewood Square lot. I created 2 versions of the building, one as a normal residential lot and another as a residential rental. Just choose whatever you want! There are 6 different flats, that have been renovated at different times, which is apparent from the condition of their kitchen and bathroom.. Each flat has its own basement room and the garden is shared between all tenants and there's a shared laundry room in the basement as well.

You'll also have a restaurant shell, the Burger Lab that is not functional currently, but you could make it so if you want.

The furnished flat is playtested and ideal for 2-4 sims max and is heavily 'lived in', meaning very cluttered. I personally see an older woman living there, whose husband already died and her daughter left as soon she turned 18, but the interior was never changed or renovated. I don't know, you could probably come up with a lot of story ideas!

CC is mostly included. You'll find an Excel file with the specific file names and the dl link for all CC that is not included. The build will probably still look okay-ish without the excluded CC but I strongly recommend downloading it, if you do not already have it.

oddball.

I’m sorry but it is absolutely fucked to me that this dude makes over $15k a month off his patreon, can’t be assed to take 2 min to let people know what’s going on, and then speaks like this to the people who make him that $15k+ and they all completely simp for him. He couldn’t even bother to post it in his announcements on Discord, where most people are asking where he is. Modder worship is out of control. People showed genuine concern on the discord because essentially this dude has just not shown up for work. And yeah, I’m calling it work because HE is the one that chose to make modding his career. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. I’ve always found this dude obnoxious as hell and he is one of many who act like they’re royalty and the rest of the community are a bunch of moronic peasants. People who mod FOR FREE have been more communicative and quicker to update, and are respectful to the community. I’m so sick of this holier than thou bullshit from modders. You are absolutely no better than the people who have given you the wealth and privilege to be able to fuck off for a week and ignore your job.

I know this probably comes off as unhinged and entitled so let me make this clear: I’m not saying TM or any modder should be releasing updates within 24 hours or on any time limit. I don’t think that anyone should be harassing modders for updates within the first few days of an update. I understand that this was a HUGE update that caused some mods to need complex fixes. What I am saying is that TM and any other modder who has made taking advantage of this community their full time job absolutely owe it to the people who pay them to communicate with them! And not only that, but to do it respectfully! Calling people weird for showing genuine concern is so disrespectful. 5 days is an unreasonable amount of time to be radio silent when, again, this is your job (9 days since his last post but I guess everyone has a different definition of “only a few”). You had a month’s warning, nothing was stopping you from saying “Hey guys, I know there’s a big update coming but I won’t be around so mod updates may take longer than usual! Thanks for your patience!” See how easy it is to not insult people? Wild I know.

Idk I just find it a bit more entitled that the dude making 6 figures is shitting all over the people who make him those 6 figures but what the fuck do I know lol.

The Purrfect Cup Cat Cafe | Cat Cafe

Located at the heart of the Whiskerman’s Wharf, The Purrfect Cup is the latest redevelopment of Brindleton Bay. Inherited after her grandmother passed away, owner Nina Simmons needed to save funds to fix the cafe and beat the giant corporations awaiting to buy the coveted property spot. Luckily with some creative thinking, the help of some furry friends, and some fundraisers, the Purrfect Cafe has become home to the best coffee in town and the sweetest cuddles from the adoptable felines.

Hi, it's been a while! If you haven't seen my latest update (and if you have the time) check here. This is the first build I am releasing after a long time away from the game and I'm excited to share it with you. It's very much inspired by the Nantucket region. It was also inspired by and meant to complement the wonderful 'Whiskerman’s Seafood' build by @simkhira's , so please go support and download their build (if you haven't already). I hope you enjoy it and I can't wait to see your Sims stories.

sincerly, nicole (hyggetrait)

New vid with download for this build. It's the house from the "smells like teen spirit in here" teen bedroom post from a while back :)
