Hello there,
Sorry I am cutting it down to the wire here. I've been having a lot of issues with my graphics card and it cutting out while I'm playing the game......but no more excuses, here is your gift!
Inside you'll find:
1. Stephano's Italian Cafe which is a community lot. Since you said you like Mediterranean influenced things, and I live in Southern California (home of tons of Spanish Style architecture) I couldn't help but do something with that theme. I put all the pictures inside the zip so you know what you're getting before you open it up. I used mainly Maxis Recolors and just a few random objects walls/floors (the tiles are by me) from well known artists....but I tried to keep the custom content down. This place is perfect for getting some gourmet coffee, but also a romantic spot to take a date and drink wine!
2. La Bella Luna, Apartment Lot. You said you liked small lots, and of course that's all relative, but I wanted to do something that reflected the kind of apartments I see everyday living here so the lot is medium sized (hope that's okay!). It's got 3 apartments- one 1 bedroom, 1 luxury 2 bedroom, and 1 mid-size 2 bedroom. It also features a lovely pool for your sims to enjoy, a BBQ, and plenty of room for relaxing. I kept everything unfurnished except for the basics, and in case you wanted to change something or don't like playing apartments I didn't actually make the lot an apartment lot. Again, mostly Maxis recolors and minimal CC. Pics inside.
3. Classic Capris for Teens with both AllStars and flats. Sorry about the crappy picture and the lack of pictures for all the textures, but hopefully you get the idea. The mesh is by Gedhyl and Simal, textures by Xander and obviously modified by yours truly. The curvier looking mesh shown is the one by Simal.
You are free to share these but I know how some people feel about TSR items. However, I couldn't resist a few things so hopefully that's not a problem. Let me know how you like them and if you have any issues, please let me know. I hope you like these.
