Clifftop Apartments

I made a set of apartments for some elders-finally!


Clifftop Apartments used to be the old McMiller Mansion, but then old McMiller died and the children kept squabbling over who would get the property. After years of litigation, murder attempts and threats, the children finally agreed to sell the property and spilt the proceeds.


Thanks to their bitterness and greedy behavior, Clifftop Apartments is now available for sims to move in.




Apt #1: 2BD/1BTH, once I remove the rocks, they'll also have a clear view of the pier


Apt 2A: 1BD/1BTH with balcony

Apt 2B: tiny 1BD/1BTH


Apt 3: 1BD/1BTH with rooftop access
















The apartments sit on a cliff in my hood and have a view of the pier (you can see the view from some of the rooms) and is on a 2x2 lot.

A Heartbeat, 2009

Lovar, spring, 2009
Lainey Lorde, S'Ahmisa Warwick and Verde Herendez are seniors. Benjamin Endeavor is 22, Ming Wuu is 22 and Rashid Cunningham is 22, Krissy Thorn is 24, Alphonso Pentragnani is 26

Optional Soundtrack "I Wish I Wasn't" Heather Headley


S'Ahmisa wordlessly helped Lainey bring the last of her things into the apartment. She didn't question when she got the tearful call from her begging to move in. She didn't question the fact that it was two simweeks before graduation and all the seniors were finishing up their final exams, or the fact that Lainey and Verde were living together up until then.

Even Ming knew that the situation was serious and didn't say anything callous, after all, loosing a child wasn't a joking matter.

President Note: County Council Plans 2009-2012

S'Ahmisa Warwick

For my 2009-2012 term as Hood Council President, I propose the follow:

  • Coordinate the County Council's work
    -
    Start a local stock exchange. We have many local businesses and we could start a local stock exchange to help the local businesses gain more resources and provide incentives to shareholders.
    -Continue the renovation of Pierce University. Plans have been approved for the new campus and construction is almost complete on the academic buildings. The residential halls will follow afterwards.
    -Continue the beautification of the hood. The next step is building up the shore facing Lady Starr and creating a large amount of green spaces and lawns.
  • Coordinate county council meetings
    -
    County council meetings are held multiple times each simyear and are public once a simyear. An agenda will be published before the meeting for residents to make admendments to.
  • Official spokesim for the hood
    -Would still like to look into having an official flag for the hood.Our hood has been around for a long time and I think that it is long overdue time for us to have a flag.
  • Manage foreign alliances-Continue SUN Exchanges via interhood internships, exchanges and study abroad programs.
  • Enforce laws and immigration/emigration
    -Do a complete overhaul of the laws
    -Update fines and fees to reflect current inflation changes.
  • Oversee administrative business lots
    -The Starr Grey Administration Centre is managed by me while the Memorial Church is managed by Pastor Lyndon Humphrey and The Veronika Kent Medical Centre is managed by Dr. Suzanna McMillian. Pastor Humphrey updates us of progress via reports and occasional visits during county council meetings.
    -The Starr Grey Administration Centre is overdue for a renovation, this may be a good opportunity to occupy a smaller landspace. I propose a complete rehaul of the property but tearing down the old building, reusing materials when possible and building a new smaller more efficent administration center.

Follower Series: Rachel

I've always found interesting new blogs by looking through the lists of followers and commenters, not only on my own site, but the sites of others. I thought that I would do a monthly profile of the followers of Apple Valley so that others can see some of the other great blogs that are out there. I only chose the sim related blogs of followers (no personal or non-sim blogs) and of course there are many followers that do not have a personal blog.
This month, I'm profiling
Rachel

Rachel has a sim's related blog called, Creating Charleston.

It's a TS3 blog full of building posts and is mostly devoted entirely to world creation. If you like hood building and creating worlds in TS3 or TS2, then you will gain a lot of ideas from this site. The photos are beautiful and the backstories for the lots are very detailed and insightful.

Rachel has started another blog, Charleston City Sims which will follow the Charleston City sims once the world is fully created.
