Welcome to the pier! Take a swim or a stroll to enjoy the view. Buy the necessaries in the kiosk, hang out at the beach bar – or fry your own wieners.
Adapting kachadar's tutorial, I’ve tried to created a beach typical for a temperate climate. Since there aren’t a lot of swimable beaches as community lots available here I though I’d share.
note - about placement
This lot was build on the Belladonna Cove terrain that comes with AL. So I know for sure that it fits the beach line there. I cannot guarantee that it fits in all terrains, though.

This was one of my first lots here and it needed a major overhaul. - Thanks to voodoomonkey for making me aware of this!
- I've changed some features that I realised didn't work as intended. In order to make it look like the pier stands in water I have used ShanOw's buyable surface. While it looks ok, there's a slight gap between the fake water and the simulated water.
I've not found a way to place it more seamlessly, sadly. It's up to you whether you can live with it or not.
- Some cc has been removed or replaced, and now all the cc is included, so no more shopping list! You'll probably still have to install the custom modular stairs included in the lot yourself. Just get Numenor's scriptorium and you should be good
- This version has been build with AGS and cleaned with CI. I've also tested it, mainly to see how the lot reacted when being reinstalled.
- Of course all images have been updated to reflect the changes.
if you play the lot as an owned business
I've not created the lot with a business in mind. If you want to have sims run it as a business, be aware that the lot comes with a bar and if your playables tend bar there this may cause horrible problems with "met self" memories. There's a fix for that at MATY, the drama fix hack. Don't play without it if you use the lot as a business!

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

Welcome here
I've moved on to TS3 and I love playing and building with it. I've never been able to resist cc before, but this time round I'm really striving to make lots cc free unless absolutely necessary.
My aim is always to create lots that stand out, either in style or theme. I don't have a preferred style but thrive on variety. Nature, Scandinavia, modernist (and contemporary) architecture, the makeshift, vivid colours, and interesting cc are some of my inspirations when creating lots.
If you like my lots have a look at smmishing.wordpress.com, my blog where I also share some lots.
I hope you like my creations. Don't claim them as your own and do not repost my lots anywhere else. You may use my cc freely in your own lots as long as you give credit and let it remain free. Also, no TSR!
As a rule of thumb, I don't take requests, simply because I dislike building slavishly after floor plans.
