Cheeseweasel's Story Room

Here's the Riverwalk II lot.

Bottom floor, left to right, up then down.

Pablo's Pizza, Quirky's Consignment Store, common area for upstairs apartments, Sudz Laundromat, Joltz Coffee House. I noticed the upstairs originally was supposed to be a hotel, but I was afraid sims couldn't use any part of the lot unless they checked in. I left the apartments empty so random sims didn't go up there and sleep or watch TV. I might try testing out having a tiny residential lot with mailbox and trash can beside the lot so I can have a resident go there when "going home" collect their mail, and then go to the apartment in the commercial building. I've been wanting to try that for a long time to see if I could make it work. I don't think any of the venues I put in actually close (as in kicking sims off the lot), so it just might work.

Not having played the commercial builds at all, I had no idea what would work and what wouldn't. I was just building for the fun of it.

The ground floor of the hotel consisted of the apothecary in the small separate building on the end.
Going right to left was the hotel lobby, a flower shop, a chocolate shop and a wine shop. Convenient for a hotel rendezvous, don't you think?

I dropped in on Sandi French's family for a bit, but  the vampires stole the show.
