[@jamooj]

I think if you click that yellow line above the rooms you can click “add ceiling” and it will also fix the holes you had and doesn’t count as tile! Regardless this build is BEAUTIFUL and I’m glad you have a happy space to have some fun during your grief

[@deligracy]

Oh good to know! I get confused with this

[@recordtapesbackward]

it's true, that such a good advice! sometimes I feel the option doesn't show up when I click, but it usually does and I can add the ceilings. that also fixes lighting issues ! I had a build I was getting so frustrated with because one entire room had black looking furniture because the lighting was broken and I couldn't make the room be lighter no matter how many lights I added. turns out there was just a tiny bit of ceiling missing (I used a platform on the entrance part of the room) that you couldn't see from the top because there was a roof over it and everything seemed to be normal.

I love the "gravel" bathroom flooring! My parents lived in an apartment that previous owners had remodeled quite modern, and while my traditional parents didn't appreciate the lime green kitchen counter or artsy hand statues sticking out of the walls, they came around on the bumpy shower flooring. It's very smooth and nice on your bare feet.

allow yourself to feel all the pain, don't push it away just so you can smile! my grandma also passed away in december and it was horrible.

There's plenty of tiny homes and regular homes that use gravel in their bathrooms. Some people use gravel and then just fill it in with grout, some people use gravel and then fill it in with like a clear grout and level the whole floor. It depends if you want to feel the different bumps under your feet or if you want a solid ground. I love the gravel look in the bathroom You should have kept it

[@3Paige14]

First of all, my deepest condolences on the passing of your grandmother. 🙏🏻 Second, what a lovely reno of the Zest home! I think Johnny was the first Sim my Simself befriended (& romanced I think) when I first started playing the Sims & I've always liked him.

[@mandichristensen9376]

1st, my condolences and love go out to you during this time. 2nd Have you thought about doing a tribute build to your grandparents? - Like recreate their home that you loved/remember the most? Even if it doesn't go on KZbin, it may help you with the grieving process. (When my grandma died in 2019 I recreated her house and showed my dad. It was nice to be able to talk about her and share our memories of their house.) 3rd. As for Johnny Zest and this build, I always thought that when his parents- The Landgrabbs kicked him out/disowned him that the Goth family and others kind of donated to him things they no longer wanted/needed. Which explains the candelabra and the really expensive bar stools. :)

[@deligracy]

I have thought about doing this :) I might do!

Anyway lots of love from a stranger ❤️

[@fuzzypumpkin7743]

I did a scenario with Johnny a bit ago and redid his house then. I killed all the sims in the world except him and seven children (six kids + Evie Delgato). He had to get a job and earn to take care of the kids. Eventually they ended up having little cabins on the lot and his trailer was kept in the same shape and approximate room cuttings, but way updated to accommodate eight sims in the kitchen and living area, with big windows and such. Actually kind of a similar color palette to what you landed on.

Would have loved to hug her, just one last time. To really let it sink in a bit and to say goodbye. It was stupid of me to just assume that without making sure of it. But shes with me everywhere, in pics, letters from her and I also was so lucky to get her wedding ring of all the 14 grandchildren she has. I never take it of. And yes, I think people we have lost are still with us, but its still hard when we can psycially hug them ever again tho. She was starting to lose her memories of us and our names when we last were with her. SInce we used to spend weeks at her in the summer break and on christmas, its also alot missing.
