Introducing: Seedy Joe's by @aricarai
1This is a video walkthrough of a lot created for my 'Vice Den' competition on the Sims 3 Forums, you can see all the details at: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/902232
The basic specification was: "I'm not looking for somewhere swish, sophisticated, or glamorous, it should be the sort of place an honest, upright, citizen would prefer not to go to. It would be a haunt for the 'down on their luck', the petty criminal, a place that might be run by gangsters to rake in money from the bar, the slot machines, the roulette or poker tables, a smoke-filled dive that might be occasionally raided by the police (when they're not taking back-handers from the owner!)"
This lot, Seedy Joe's, was created by @aricarai. It is a 30x30 Dive Bar lot and is described: "Before downtown was built, Joe's was the hotspot that everyone ventured to. Anyone that was anyone was seen at Joe's on any given night. Friends would become merry over a pint and watch the sport on TV and patrons would quietly sit near the dance floor watching the pianist tickle the ivories, while the blues singer crooned into the night. Joe's was the best place in town for a night out. As downtown developed and more people moved closer to it, a series of events turned Joe's into Seedy Joe's - ownership changed, the crowd got rougher and then there was the boxcar incident which no one speaks about any more. Now, only the dregs of society would dare to set foot in Seedy Joe's. The dive bar caters to the devious, mischievous, hard knocks, and the ones down on their luck. Known for its bar brawls, loud and boozy chatter, and grungy décor, only brave people would venture into Seedy Joe's if not a regular."
