Welcome to Bimlico’s cinema!
I usually never build such huge buildings, but I think I managed alright with this one…
Maybe because I knew I wouldn’t have to decorate all of the inside
There are no pictures of the inside, by the way! The cinema only has a few toilets and the movie theater rabbit hole rug
Lot tour
This is where the actual cinema is.
The lovely Roch Thompson sells tickets and popcorn!
(Roch is made by my dear friend, Maria )
There’s a little park area here with a lovely fountain and chess tables (with a nice view of the Central Park).
At the other end of the building, you’ll find the Bowling Alley!
The lot also has a metro station!
Above the station, you’ll find the outdoor Metro Bar!
Metro Bar
The bartender is Maximilian Hall, made by the lovely Kate
And SimBilge (from sophiessims.tumblr.com) is the hostess here!
Hi Bilge!
The other “corner” has a little garden of sorts where sims can just sit and relax
Here’s an overview:
The Metro bar is too cute for words!!!
I’d love having a drink there, and listening to a band playing.
Thank you, Sandy!
Ohhh, I want to relax at the Metro Bar (perfect name!) too! It looks like such a cool place!
I’ll reserve a table
Thank you, sweetie!
Love the way you’ve done the metro station!
Thank you, Missy! I came up with this idea to have a bar on top of the station, and this is what came out of it
But gosh, what it difficult to build!!!
I love, love the metro bar
It definitely would be favorite hangout. I’ve had to adjust to building huge lot, which I wasn’t used to at all. But for me, I would be building forever if I didn’t build big lots.Your cinema looks really great on the exterior
Thank you, apples! Maybe you should send your SimSelf to work there?
Building huge lots is not my favourite thing to do
But there isn’t too much decorating on this lot, actually, but mostly landscaping, so it was quite fun!!
My darling, I need to ask you; WCIF those awesome lights/lanterns on a string you’re using in the metro bar?
Oh, Kim, this set is fantastic! But be careful! This creator has too many good things! http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/DOT/downloads/details/category/sims3-sets-objects-garden/title/wire-lantern-lamp-set/id/1030277/
Ah, thank you my darling! Yes, I know Dot’s stuff, she’s amazing!!!
Hello Roch!
Hello Max!
And hello Bilge!
Treat them well!
Really love your Metro Bar!
Bimlico is really looking amazing! I love that you have various self sims working for you!
I have to ask, the lights you have on the columns – WCIF them?
(Not the lantern ones but the other fairy type lights)
Thank you so much, Aurna, you are so sweet!
The lights are fantastic, and I use them everywhere!

Thank you!
So much going on in this lot! I don’t know why I didn’t post the first time I saw this, but it’s stunning!
The landscaping is great too.
Hello to all the guest simmies!
Thank you, Laura! The landscaping here was tough
I don’t like all those steep hills! Hehe, you can see I covered them all up on the left side of the lot, but I guess I was sick of it and left the right side bare
I so hate uneven terrain!
It’s so hard to build in it. The lot where Sunset Valley’s City Hall was placed is the worst offender for me… I managed to do something with it, but there’s tons of wasted space because of the weird terrain you can’t use for anything.
Oh, wait, did I manage to have a smiley fail in such a small comment?
Haha, I don’t think I have the
smiley… Oh but I should, I use that!!!
I’ve loved your Metro Bar since the first time I saw it!
If I could become a Sim and visit Bimlico, I think that’d be the first place I’d visit, so I could sit up there and admire the pretty lanterns and gorgeous view! Love seeing your new service Simmies…they all fit perfectly! And geez, you do so many things with slopes and fences and levels and cool stuff in your lots!
Mine are always FLAT, FLAT, FLAT! How boring!
Oh but Jen, you ARE a sim, and a sim who lives in Bimlico!
In the evening when your simself closes down her bookshop, she likes to sit on the bench outside it and read a book while the sun sets behind her
