While Everyone Knows About The Iconic Route 66, The Old Highways Of The East Coast Have Gotten Considerably
While everyone knows about the iconic Route 66, the old highways of the East Coast have gotten considerably less attention, such as Route 1. From Wikipedia:
U.S. Route 1 (US 1) is a major north–south U.S. Highway that serves the East Coast of the United States. It runs 2,369 miles (3,813 km), from Fort Kent, Maine, at the Canada–US border, south to Key West, Florida, making it the longest north–south road in the United States.[2] US 1 is generally paralleled by Interstate 95 (I-95), though the former is significantly farther west (inland) between Jacksonville, Florida, and Petersburg, Virginia. The highway connects most of the major cities of the East Coast—including Miami, Jacksonville, Richmond, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston, passing from the Southeastern United States to New England. While US 1 is generally the easternmost of the main north–south U.S. Highways, parts of US 9, US 13, US 15, US 17, US 21, occupy corridors closer to the ocean. In some cases, substantial portions of these routes are east of US 1; US 13 terminates only a couple miles west of US 1 after crossing it in Falls Township, PA, with over 99.5% of it running east of US 1. When the road system was laid out in the 1920s, US 1 was mostly assigned to the existing Atlantic Highway, which followed the Fall Line between the Piedmont and the Atlantic Coastal Plain north of Augusta, Georgia.[3] At the time, the highways farther east were of lower quality and did not serve the major population centers.[4] Construction of the Interstate Highway system gradually changed the use and character of US 1, and I-95 became the major north–south East Coast highway by the late 1960s.
Before I-95 was constructed, Route 1 was the main way people went up and down the East Coast. Whether you were headed to Miami for summer vacation or going up to NYC for business, Route 1 was the way you went. And, not unlike its more famous cousin out West, Route 1 was home to countless motels, restaurants, filling stations, and tourist attractions, all doing business off of road-weary travelers. Many of these places disappeared long ago, while others still survive. This series will be all about the motels, diners, and other businesses of the Route 1, as depicted in the many old postcards you can find online. Even though the roadside architecture of Route 1 is slowly vanishing, it will live on forever in the Sims.

Just a Heads Up
To clear out space in my game, I’ve decided to remove these movie posters:

And, the steel/chrome kitchens from the 2017 Advent:

These objects are old, and I wasn’t happy about how they turned out. (Most of the posters are on 2-rotation bases!) I’m also not really into Pokemon anymore, so don’t expect any more from me based on that theme.
These objects will remain available, but I can’t guarantee if they’ll work correctly anymore. If you come across any object ID conflicts with these sets, here’s a couple of sites that may help:

I may end up removing more older sets from my game in the future, so I’ll let everyone know then. :)
Victor Hollywood Bedroom
The Art Deco bedroom in this postcard really caught my eye. I really loved the contrast between dark wood and soft pastel colors.
Now, your Simmies can have this bedroom. Enjoy!

Some Skins
Merry Christmas... your Sims are getting underwear!!🎁🩲
No, I’m just kidding! I’ll have more for you to unwrap tomorrow.😄😋
But, I’ve decided to focus more on creating skins than objects for now, and what better place to start than what your Sims are wearing under their clothes!
Plus, I think there’s an unfortunate lack of “basic” underwear available for the Sims vs fancy lingerie and stuff like that. Hope this fills the void.
Available in all three skin tones and body types.
(Note: If you’ve previously downloaded the make skinny mesh, please re-download it from these sets, as I’ve fixed some minor flaws in it.)

Indie Series
Okaaay... so I got a little distracted over the last few months, and I a) learned how to skin (Finally!!!!) and b) went on a huge 90s nostalgia/indie rock binge. The fact that I recently got back into Daria (Remember that show?) was probably a big influence.
So, I present the Indie Series, a collection of things that are kinda’ vintage, but lean towards the indie/hipster/punk side of things. Enjoy!

Ever wanted to make one of those cheap metal shed-type buildings for your Sims? Now, you can!
