Wow! I really like this lot... you've definitely captured the feel of a diner, and I can totally see this being in a goofy alien movie. Great job!

There's always money in the banana stand.

Um, I love this? Kind of completely. I really do love the desert neighborhood but am always so confused as to what to put in it, this retro cutie will fit just perfectly! I only hope we'll see more for the desert soon!

I totally love this place! The retro sci-fi style looks great and I've enjoyed also the humor of your presentation. Good luck for the contest.

Does the UFO come together with the lot? Is it the neighborhood object modded in order to be placed on the roof?

It's included in the lot.

I used Frillen's collection pack to get it up there. As you may know Frillen's pack got messed up with Bon Voyage, so I had to use AnyGameStarter to make a non Bon Voyage lot with the UFO on it, package it, and then import it to the regular game.

So it looks like I'm stuck here forever on this floating island with Sarah and Skeleton Harvester.

This will be a great addition to Strangetown. Good Job! I just got Free Time and there are several cool objects that will go great with this lot.

Sorry to say, but the UFO doesn't show up in my game? I'm basically running everything including free time, so if someone can tell me if it shows up in an everything but free time game then I'll know where the problem lies?

As said Zaxis, the collection by Frillen which enables the UFO as object works up to Season. If you have BV or/and FT, the UFO doesn't show up. Too bad, I know, the UFO is cool.
A solution is AnyGameStarter by Numenor.

Thanks Zaxis for the answer. I have AGS so I I'll enjoy a lot this place and the UFO too.

rock_cheshire, I installed the diner using the same .sims2pack that was uploaded and tried it in a new neighborhood with Bon Voyage and Free Time, and the UFO is included, as it should be. I haven't got any idea why it isn't in your lot.


Thanks Lamammaforever, but to my understanding that's not completely correct.. Frillen's pack enables non-buyable objects, by adding them in collection packs. But because of Bon Voyage non-buyables could no longer be used in collections. As far as I know there's no reason why the object itself can't work in Bon Voyage and/or Free Time.

So it looks like I'm stuck here forever on this floating island with Sarah and Skeleton Harvester.

Glad to know, because I deleted the collection when Frillen edited the post and stopped to use it in game, I have to check now ... it was so useful!

Wow! While I don't find it "exceptional" for the contest, I find it absolutely fantastic for my game! Looks like it won't lag my poor video card. I don't remember the last time I actually downloaded a lot, since I only download cc free lots.

Thank you so much! This looks to be like a very usable lot. I very much appreciate that you made such a fantastic lot that will actually be playable. In my book a whole lot better than "exceptional" and unplayable.
