Lovely houses! Are they recent ones? If so, you must be feeling better. Maybe seeing some improvement?

[Lapaige46]

Thank you. No, they're not new. I'm going through my houses and clearing them of CC to clean up Riverview. MrsFlynn just informed me that there's a glitch in this post. Blogging doesn't seem to want to be my friend.

[Lapaige46]

I'm trying to turn this




Into individual shops.
My eyes aren't cooperating.  *insert grumpy face and curse word here*

[Cheeseweasel]

I love that shopping area! I wish we could create multi-use lots so apartments could be on the floors above.

[Lapaige46]

That's what I was going for initially. I ended up building just for fun and not actually expecting it would be playable. That building with the red roof had 4 separate shops in it with 4 separate cash registers. I saw a Youtube video a while ago where someone had built a shopping center with multiple registers that actually worked. It didn't seem to work with mine.

The building with the blue roof has a hotel in it, but again, just for fun and not expecting it to be playable.

What I'm trying to accomplish now is to have an area where I can place several small lots in a row and have a small shop on each lot and recreate the shopping area  in hopes that it will be functional.

I have all the residential lots cleaned up but have yet to do the community lots. One of these days I might have a Riverview that I can share.
 

But now it's dinnertime and my eyes feel like ... nevermind. As usual, I overdid it today.

[MrsFlynn]

The only thing I can think of is you'll have to build single shoppes on smaller lots?

[Lapaige46]

Yes. That's what I said.

[Lapaige46]

A little shop on a little lot. There are 4 shops in the big building so I made 4 small lots in a row. I think I'll keep the big building and use it for something else because I really like it. I have an idea for it but that requires a fair amount of CC so for now I'll keep it empty.
