Mami is dating some guy and she insists on introducing him to me. I'm nine so I know what that means. It means she wants to marry him.

Architectural Permits and Fees

I'm always looking for new ways for my simmies to suffer, I mean, live. I've been upset that remodels don't cost anywhere near as much as they do in real life and often sims can get paid when they remodel-what?!?!?!

So I'm introducing a system of permits and fees for remodels done in my hood. The fees will help it to be a bit more realistic and will force some of my families to either work with what they have, save up to make big changes or move.

Here are some photos of my grilled cheese place. I would love to have some recolors of the 3to2 sandwich board conversion to go with the grilled cheese vibe, but until then, here's what I did. Took me about 30 minutes to build after an hour commute in which I planned out most of the details. I'm insanely proud of the fact that I fit a bathroom on the lot  It's a 1x1 lot and I might have a sim buy it so that I can set the menu to only cheese items, grilled cheese and maybe cheesecake. Until then, I replaced the podium with a modded buffet table.

Celsius 82°, the melting point of cheese, is where you will find plenty of melted cheese at this grilled cheese specialty diner.

Vice President Warwick

Apple Valley is proud to have our very own Vice President. S'Ahmisa Warwick and her running mate won the vote in the recent elections. This was in spite of an election cycle filled with mud slinging and never before seen lows such as candidates questioning Ms. Warwick's ability to keep her husband alive after his extended stay in the hospital. We are extremely proud that our very own Hood Council President overcame it all! 

Hood Improvements

Residents are thrilled that the Hood Council voted on a series of improvements. Many changes were made such as additional streets being paved, additional decor placed around the hood such a beautiful trees and pathways.
