Salt Water Taffy Vacation Homes (Replica Challenge #3)
I’ve been enjoying seeing all the homes that simmers have built for @redhotchilisimblr‘s replica build challenge and I actually had a little time this week to try it myself.
It’s a work in progress but will be available for download soon.
There are four vacation homes, each named after a salt water taffy flavor: strawberry, key lime, banana, and blue raspberry.
All the homes are decorated identically and have a main floor with a living room, bathroom, kitchen, and mini office and a second floor loft with a bedroom and lounge area.
The roof varies from the reference photo because I really wanted an upstairs loft.
Was well under budget until I decided to add a resort area with a pool, hot tub, outdoor movie lounge, massage tent, entertainment stage, bar/snack bar, beach area, recreation room and gym. What can I say… I’m a maximalist!
Salt Water Taffy Pool (beach & bar)
Lately I’ve been feeling a bit lackluster about my game but I’ve found enough inspiration to return to my builds (I have like 25 half-finished builds). I’m back to building the Salt Water Taffy lot and I’m very close to finished (sigh of relief).
Arielle Beaumont enjoys a little quiet time before her friends arrive for a girls vacay at the Salt Water Taffy vacation homes on Windenburg Island.
Let the fun begin!
Everyone arrived and were ready to kick off the vacation but couldn’t agree what to do first.
Since the group couldn’t reach a consensus, Nayeli offered the perfect solution which made everyone happy.
Nayeli: “What better way to kick off a great vacation than at the juice bar! Except... how did I get volunteered up as the mixologist?”
Luckily Nayeli’s girlfriend Simone offered to help bartend. Right in time too because the drink orders were piling up.
Nayeli: “As they say, many hands make for um... many drinks?”
The girls are officially in chill mode…
After Nayeli and Simone’s generous bartending (and liberal measurements) the girls had enough liquid courage to take to the stage for a rousing karaoke performance.
Still feeling pumped up from karaoke, Luna tried her hand at comedy and was feeling pretty hilarious, although it seems not everyone agrees.
Luna: “I swear, I just keep landing every single joke.”
Simone (tight smile, thinks to self): “Ouch, this is awkward...should I fake a laugh??”
Midday munchies...all that karaoke really works up an appetite.
Nayeli and Simone finally had a little alone time.
Nayeli: (wink wink) “Hey sweetheart, you come here often?”
Simone: “Haha, you’re such a dork!”
Nayeli: “Wow, you really know how to sweet-talk a girl…how about we move this to the hot tub?”
Nayeli: “Simone, my love, here I am surrounded by all the beauty of this island, and you are the most gorgeous thing I see! Of everything I have seen, it’s you I want to go on seeing...”
Simone: “Lmao, oh my god, are you recycling Don Lothario’s pick-up lines? You really are a dork!”
Nayeli: “Yeah I most definitely am. But you have to admit, his sleazy ass kinda has a way with the words and combined with my flawless delivery...you’re totally swooning!”
These lovebirds can’t get enough of each other!
Ever fiercely competitive, Jazmin practiced Don’t Wake the Llama ahead of time thinking that it would give her an advantage. Sadly that’s not how it played out. :(
Movie night (down in front ladies!)
Getting cozy and roasting marshmallows by the fire pit… Luna, Nayeli, and Simone are working up the courage to tell ghost stories.
End of the Year Tag (part II: my builds)
Thanks for tagging me @kyranyx, @anotherplumbob & @citrusmiint! I figure because I was tagged multiple times it gives my an excuse to break this into two posts: sims and edits in part one and builds and scenery in part two.
The rules: Find your fave pics of your story or your blog in general and post them in a collage. It can be 1 picture or 100 (whatever you want). But just reflect on your fave moments in your story or on your blog. It can be cute moments or pictures of which you’re really proud. When you’re done tag 5 people or more.
The main reason I started my simblr was to post about my builds and interior decorating. Sadly I lost interest halfway into the year when I started to become frustrated with the limitations of the game and lack of interesting build/buy content but luckily with all the great new content I’m feeling that inspiration return. I’m hoping to have more time this year to tackle all the build ideas I have in my head. Anyways, Happy New Year everyone! 🎉🎆🍾
I tag @thespangleway, @jenba, @alexpilgrimblog, @skadisim, @charmsimy, @bottsbotts, @cyberqueen-13, @pixelpeopleplayland, @pixelplayground, @kilra0, @budgie2budgie, @floppant, @javitrulovesims & anyone who wants to do this.
