This is when I wish my modern 'hood had a name so I could go: "this is the Bank of Nameless!" but alas I haven't named it yet and yes this is another bank.

Like I said I kind of forgot about my other builds and got really inspired by this bank by @juniper-simblr which is reasonable in size. Mine... is not really. I do really like ti though and I am contemplating adding it to my historical save, removing the parking space and maybe turning it into a theatre if I don't keep it as a bank?

My historical and modern 'hoods aren't connected in any way, but I do like the idea that the bank in the modern 'hood might have been a theatre back in the day and been bought by a bank at some point. We'll see what I do.

Vietnamese architects and historians consider the years from 1940 to 1975 the golden age of Vietnamese modernism. In that period, major modernist public buildings such as hospitals and hotels were designed and constructed.

Legit though, we should start turning ecosystem restoration and work to make our world more tolerant to the effects of climate change into annual holidays and festivals

Like how just about every culture used to have festivals to celebrate the beginning of the harvest or its end, or the beginning of planting, or how whole communities used to host barn raisings and quilting bees - everyone coming together at once to turn the work of months or years into the work of a few days

Humble suggestions for festival types:

Goat festival

Besides controlled burns (which you can't do if there's too much dead brush), the fastest, most effective, and most cost-efficient way to clear brush before fire season - esp really heavy dead brush - is to just. Put a bunch of goats on your land for a few days!

Remember that Shark Tank competitor who wanted to start a goat rental company, and everyone was like wtf? There was even a whole John Oliver bit making fun of the idea? Well THAT JUST PROVES THEY'RE FROM NICE WET PLACES, because goat rental companies are totally a thing, and they're great.

So like. Why don't we have a weekend where everyone with goats just takes those goats to the nearest land that needs a ton of clearing? Public officials could put up maps of where on public lands grazing is needed, and where it definitely shouldn't happen. Farmers and people/groups with a lot of acres that need clearing can post Goat Requests.

Little kids can make goat-themed crafts and give the goats lots of pets or treats at the end of the day for doing such a good job. Volunteers can help wrangle things so goats don't get where they're not supposed to (and everyone fences off land nowadays anyway, mostly). And the goats, of course, would be in fucking banquet paradise.

Planting Festival and Harvest Festival

Why mess with success??? Bring these back where they've disappeared!!! Time to swarm the community gardens and help everyone near you with a farm make sure that all of their seeds are sown and none of the food goes to waste in the fields, decaying and unpicked.

And then set up distribution parts of the festival so all the extra food gets where it needs to be! Boxes of free lemons in front of your house because you have 80 goddamned lemons are great, but you know what else would be great? An organized effort to take that shit to food pantries (which SUPER rarely get fresh produce, because they can't hold anything perishable for long at all) and community/farmer's markets

Rain Capture Festival

The "water year" - how we track annual rainfall and precipitation - is offset from the regular calendar year because, like, that's just when water cycles through the ecosystems (e.g. meltwater). At least in the US, the water year is October 1st through September 30th of the next year, because October 1st is around when all the snowmelt from last year is gone, and a new cycle is starting as rain begins to fall again in earnest.

So why don't we all have a big barn raising equivalent every September to build rain capture infrastructure?

Team up with some neighbors to turn one of those little grass strips on the sidewalk into a rain-garden with fall-planting plants. Go down to your local church and help them install some gutters and rain barrels. Help deculvert rivers so they run through the dirt again, and make sure all the storm drains in your neighborhood are nice and clear.

Even better, all of this - ESPECIALLY the rain gardens - will also help a ton with flood control!

I'm so serious about how cool this could be, yall.

And people who can't or don't want to do physical stuff for any of these festivals could volunteer to watch children or cook food for the festival or whatever else might need to be done!

Parties afterward to celebrate all the good work done! Community building and direct local improvements to help protect ourselves from climate change!

The possibilities are literally endless, so not to sound like an influencer or some shit, but please DO comment or reply or put it in the notes if you have thoughts, esp on other things we could hold festivals like this for.

Canning festivals. "Dig your elderly neighbors out of the snow" festivals. Endangered species nesting count festival. Plant fruit trees on public land and parks festival. All of the things that I don't know anywhere near enough to think of. Especially in more niche or extreme ecosystems, there are so many possibilities that could do a lot of good

"Be careful who You trust, Sergeant. People You know can hurt You the most."

Some situations inspire you to create renders, like in this case. Turns out not every Ghost is trustworthy. Sometimes someone will stab you in the back and I guess that was my lesson.

#i dedicate this render to those who still choose to promote store that traced my render #those who were mad at me for speaking about it #those who i helped build their cosplays #because what does it say about you if you still proudly post pictures tagging a store-#-that removes comments and blocks users calling them out?#simon ghost riley #simon riley #ghost cod #cod #call of duty #mw2 #modern warfare 2 #mw3 #modern warfare 3 #661ave

latte da

a little coffee house for your caffeine-fiend sims! i don’t build community lots often but i was in desperate need of a coffee shop for newcrest & here we are. enjoy!

welcome to another embraced addition of the new newcrest scheme. newcrest as we know it is dead, and latte da is proof! part of mayor alto's plan to encourage deep-pocketed san myshuno residents to invest in our humble town, the llama lagoon strip has been slowly undergoing an extensive (and expensive) modernisation! don’t ask yourself “who’s paying for this?” that’s not important, ask yourself “do i believe in the future?” the answer is: you do! and there is nothing more promising than yet another coffee chain opening it’s doors in a small town to sell overpriced coffee to sims who don’t want it. come down to latte da and taste the bitter future!

moderate cc (included)

uses most packs (sorry!!)

this spot was placed on the 30x20 lot in the llama lagoon neighbourhood of newcrest and was inspired by & designed to be placed with @softerhaze’s newcrest youth center & @cowboycid’s kitt community theater, so go grab em!

tou: do what you want just don’t reupload to paywall sites :)

download <3

#from here on out i’m gonna be posting a lot about my newcrest builds & townies #u have been warned #they wont all be so modern tho #my version of newcrest is in a transitional period between new and old #ts4 #ts4 build #ts4 download #ts4 lot download #ts4cc #s4cc #my build #personal save #*newcrest #*newcrest lots #*downloads #softsimulation

It still lacks some outdoor deco (and an entire interior, but shhh) but this is the hospital I built very recently. I should add some signage to the building I think, but I haven't decided what/didn't have anything in game when I built this.

The idea is that there's a maternity ward at the top, a pharmacy and an ER-ish space on the first floor and then I've no idea about the middle floor yet.

#ts2 builds #ts2 #the sims 2 #modern 'hood #modern builds #i have no idea why i took this picture at night #maybe i thought it looked more dramatic that way?#or maybe i just finished putting up lights and thought it looked weird with them on in the daytime #probably the latter but who knows

a game about urban exploration and infiltration would be very neat imo. I want to go inside buildings I'm not supposed to and climb places I shouldn't be.

less so free-running and parkour like mirrors edge, and more so "here's a destination/tall building/ etc. now how do you get inside and sneak around the backrooms so you can climb this building's spire?" and then you get to sit up there and look at the city below.

#just yearning to explore urban environments and fancy modern buildings
