Lot Spotlight: The Lighthouse!

The generic lighthouse object has been replaced by a working yet liveable lighthouse in Serenity Point.  The lighthouse beacon can be toggled on and off by means of a floor switch.  The home sleeps a couple although there is a single bed in the lighthouse itself.  I'm very pleased with the way it came out and think it looks better in the world than the EA lighthouse object did.  I'm so glad to have a lighthouse that people can interact with.

You can see all of the pictures over on my creation blog, but here is teaser!



From the Serenity Point news bulletin:

In the mid-1800s, the Japanese government hired a European firm to build lighthouses to make the waters around Japan safe for shipping.  The lighthouses built near the end of the 19th century were European in design while the lighthouses built in Japan before this contract tended to be traditional Japanese architecture and smaller.

Needing a lighthouse for our growing community, the Serenity Point town government has decided to pay homage to the traditional Japanese lighthouse with the unveiling of Hachimenreirou Toudai (Serenity Lighthouse).  This lighthouse has been constructed on Asian Cliff overlooking the main town.  A traditional-style yet updated home has been constructed with it so that the lighthouse keeper may live in comfort and stay rested and focused on this important job.  As a lot that will be open to tourists and a showcase to visitors, the home is larger than others in Serenity Point with room for entertaining guests and completing needed repairs.

While intended to honor the asian members of our community, delight all townspeople and to teach visitors about the history lighthouses and of Serenity Point, this lighthouse will still be fully functional and will protect both the town and passing ships by keeping us all a safe distance apart.
