Li'l Simmies Toy Store (LollySims)

I located another property I had made awhile back, edited to improve it, and now I can present Li'l Simmies Toy Store! Sim kids are highly ignored and neglected in Sims 3, so I wanted to make a fun lot for them to visit, especially if your Sims can't afford the finer things in life. This lot is suitable for Sims of all ages, there's lots of fun things to do here!

Front View

Front Entrance

Floor Plan

Checkout Counters - 
Cash Registers are just decorative, no working ones really apply to toy stores :( 
Also sorry about the excessive lighting, but with a warehouse-type ceiling, hanging lights just don't look right.

Pirate/Explorer Room -
There's a playable chest in this room too. These are just for display.

 Near the front entrance - 
Foosball is near the doors, toy chest is more in the middle of the room

Bathroom

Teddy Bear Room

Cribs and High Chairs - 
Bring your toddlers along, and if they get cranky they can eat and nap right in the store :)

Chess Table/Blocks Tables/Shuffleboard

A variety of Doll Houses (all floor models are playable)

Video Game & Electronics Area

Dart Board and Arcade Machine

Checkout Counter for electronics (decorative register)

Playground Equipment

Reading Nook

Children's Stoves - 
(Your Sim kids can bring their baker's stand from home and set up shop right in the toy store)


I used no custom content on this lot!

**Requires: World Adventures, Ambitions, and Late Night**

Frio's Bookstore & Cafe - my first upload!

So, wow, I'm excited to be sharing my very first upload! I actually located two lots I made for the base game, that I made out of annoyance about the rabbit holes we got with Sims 3. I HATE rabbit holes! So the first lot I made was a bookstore that was attached to the rabbit hole bookstore, so you could get the ambiance of a real bookstore despite not actually being able to buy books there.

However...

With World Adventures came cash registers, and now my bookstore actually functions as a bookstore! :D So originally I was going to remove the rabbit hole, but then I realized in the town view, the only applicable thing I could label the lot as was a library. So a quick trip to buy books would've been impossible (you'd have to zoom in every time). So I left the rabbit hole, so now you can still have quick access from the town view, get a part-time job, and become a partner. But my built bookstore still makes for a fun outing, especially for bookworm Sims :)

My inspiration for the design was Barnes & Noble, but on a much smaller scale. So without further ado, I bring you Frio's Bookstore & Cafe!

This is the mini cafe at the front of the store. The registers in the back sell food, and there's coffee makers as well. Great little area for Sims to catch a bite to eat and use their laptops.

This is the checkout area, where you buy books.

A cozy little corner for reading :)

Aisles of bookshelves

Ample parking for your playable Sims as well as NPC's (4 cashiers come to this lot)

I used no custom content on this lot!
