Sims 2 Virtual Realty: Cuppa Charm Cafe and Tea Shoppe

Originally uploaded to MTS on August 31st, 2011. 2021 Update - MUCH less CC. OMG!

Sims Virtual Realty is proud to announce that the Eastside Downtown Gentrification Enterprise (EDGE) project is finally underway. The first project the EDGE undertook was this little long forgotten house across from the cemetery. This house was originally built after WWII to accommodate returning soldiers. It has sat unoccupied, and all-but-abandoned for these last 20 years. (Well, legally it's been unoccupied; there've been a few... shall we say - travelers, over the years, along with a lucrative side business or two.)

Now all those rumors can be put to rest,* as the house has been transformed into this very lovely building - which currently houses four different businesses. Each business is unique to itself, yet they compliment each other perfectly - making this a prime downtown destination for your Sims.

Though "new," these four businesses have already acquired quite the clientele. The Count and Cassandra Goth were both seen dealing cards and raking in the chips. Don Lothario, it appears, simply loves tea (who knew?) Mrs. Crumplebottom has been spotted having a cuppa something-far-stronger-than-tea at the Back Porch bar; Brandi Broke was there too - sitting sad faced and all alone. And, last week's Karaoke champ was none other than Mr. Big, himself.

*Annette, a hair dresser in the salon, has reported unexplained cold spots over at her corner station. One morning she thought she saw an elderly person with very long hair (wearing pants - Annette couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman) walking up the stairs before the salon opened - when she went to check the upstairs landing, the doors were still locked and no one was there...
I probably shouldn't disclose this information, but it may be a selling point for some.
If you place this lot where I did (the small empty lot across from the cemetery) - I think it's to be expected. Just check out the neighbors across the street!
