The Holiday Inn - Community Lot
So, I suddenly had this crazy idea for a community lot... It's November, and we're right inbetween my two favourite holidays, Halloween and Christmas. I have all this Halloween and Christmas themed content for TS2 that I rarely/never get to use because my sims generally don't celebrate holidays. Therefore, I figured, what if I used it all in a holiday themed community lot?
Thus The Holiday Inn was born. It's not really an inn, as you can't sleep there (well, not really, see below), but is actually a restaurant and night club combined.
The front. Santa's castle! (Santa can have a castle, right?) It should look pretty cool in winter.

The back of the castle, which is actually some spooky old castle ruins that Santa's castle was built on top of.
Top floor - the Christmas themed restaurant.
Bottom floor (part 1 and 2), Halloween-themed night club. (I later gave those bathroom doors a dark wood recolour. Should really hunt down a black one, though.)

The kitchen.
There two little private dining rooms off to the sides of the kitchen, meant to imitate cozy little cottages:
First one.
Second one. Not sure if sims will actually be seated here (unless the restaurant is really full?), the game seems to favour the seats closest to the host.
After a fulfilling meal, Carlos heads downstairs...
Mens' bathroom.
Ladies' bathroom.
In the back is a special room for vampires who have stayed out partying a little too long and need a place to rest when the sun rises. Should be functional, with the sleep on community lots hack. I also have a hack that makes coffins for vampires only, so random regular sims won't be using them.
Kimberly's probably a regular here.
The bar.
Yes, that's a wedding arch. 'Cause hey, what's not awesome about a Halloween themed wedding in old castle ruins (even if they're probably fake castle ruins)?
Dance floor!
The DJ appears to have... problems. I don't know why this seems to be a common issue with DJs in my game. Or why they insist on having that STUPID HAIR.
The second bar, located outside. Carlos seems to have an especially tricky (lol) request.
The outdoor Halloween deco.
Pumpkin collection!
Notice the spider sitting on the bar there?
There's also a buffet and seating out here. I'm not quite sure about it or the outside bar, though. The buffet is buggy, the gelatin doesn't show up. Any better ideas for what to do with the outdoor area? Or is it good as is?
Just a shot of the castle ruins.
Carlos, the athlete, suddenly realizes it's time to go and decides to sprint to the exit. Or maybe he just saw the Unsavory Charlatan heading in his direction.
And that was that.
If anyone wants this lot, let me know. (It's full of CC and Liberated Store Stuff/Pre-Order objects from MATY.)
