Suggestions for...McDonald's
🕑 Added 2021-04-21 01:16:32 +0000 UTCI'm currenly making decorative versions of my McDonald's food as EA now* prevents us from buying pre-made food from the Buy Catalog in restaurant lots. I took this opportunity to improve few things. And you begin to know me, right... It quickly gave me ideas, and I now want to complete the set by a McDonald's kitchen, something I had promised myself to do and then... forgot because I've been sidetracked by other zillions of projects! :D
I listed what I needed for my kitchen: grill, deep fryer, a cooking station, a waiter station... and then, realized that, even if I stopped sleeping, the McDonald's kitchen wouldn't be ready for next Friday. So, OK... deco food for next Friday (23) and the McDonald's kitchen for the one after (30).
Is there anything related to McDonald's you'd like me to do? Or anything related to fast-food that I might add for one of these two updates (or even to a third if needed! :D)
*: I have no idea when this "now" has begun. I must confess that, after having been one of my favorite saves, I had given up my McDonald's game so I wouldn't have noticed without your head up!
Sims 3 players: you're not concerned by the deco food update, as it's already what we have in Sims 3 (*sobs*), but the McDonald's kitchen is planned for Sims 3 as well, it's even for a Sim 3 of mine that I need it absolutely! ;)

Oh, I am a left handed person who was forced to write with the right hand, so the mouse is making it even harder.^^ I am currently looking into Wacom and think about making such an investment. I am a pastry chef and I want to set up a proper website. So if I can do everything on my own, including retouching etc, it saves some money in the long run. I have already started courses on graphic design. ;) And yeah, ideas. Everytime I build a shop, I have an idea for another one. Like: Ohhh, a cheese shop! Ohhh, a butcher (guess my vegetarian brain wants to tell me something). Ohhh, a Jewelery Store would be perfect. A Shoe Shop. Ohhhh, we also need a Bank. -.- No wonder my Mods folder is 17 GB big.

Yeah for making your own textures!! It can be super time-consuming, huh? :D Doh, I'm painting with a mouse too, no tablet here neither. Worse: I'm a right-handed person, but I've always used the left hand for mouse (at first because I had no room to put a mouse on the right side of my desk! :D), so I draw with the left-hand on computers. *lol* My to-do list is crazy, and I never cease to be hit by new ideas (plus now all your suggestions!), I think I'll never run of ideas! But TIME is missing! :D

Everything is fine when you do it. :) And I think I am not the only one who would love that set. :) Seriously, your creativity astonishes me every time, especially since you are doing it since 2000/2001. I think with textures I could help out. I started to make more options for my little supermarket project and used your meshes. I need to continue with it. I even started with a Kusmi Tea Shop project. And that is my actual problem, I start tons of projects and never finish them.^^ But also because I am painting textures with a mouse as I do not have a tablet. Although I am thinking about getting one... So yeah, I can partially understand what you are going through.^^Especially for Sims, there can be done so much to give them more content. I mean, I found a lot of shop items, but very often it isn't in Simlish or the quality is just really, really bad. We literally have a huge selection for furniture and clothes, but to liven up the neighbourhoods there isn't that much good content. I love building and decorating and then I think: What shops do the Sims need? And then there's this flood of shops I need to create. ;) I remember when you released the first set of Grocery Store items for Sims 4, I built a mall and on the -1 level I built a huge Monoprix.^^ Then your Body Shop items, omfg. :)

80's/90's! My childhood best friend had the Hercules plates and I had a bunch of the Disney (I seriously tried to reach 101 Dalmatian toys...), Poochie, and Beanie Baby Happy Meal toys. :) The former world's largest McDonald's (lost its title to one in Russia) is in my home state and I used to go there all the time.

Would a simple conversion of the Sims 3 set with decorative chocolate boxes work for you?

I made a search to save pictures! :) From what I've seen, we don't have many usable bases for now to make the same playground, but I have plans to make more toddlers outdoors activities. If I can make new usable bases for a playground, I'll sure make a McDonald's version of it, that can be fun! :)

The Chocolatier!!!! I wanted to make it for December, then January, but I wasn't satisfied with the meshes and textures I had done for Sims 3 (sometimes, with my old sets, I feel like I'd need to remesh everything!!), and I have postponed the project... but I finally forgot it! I *have* to make it, at least for you! :D Hehe, yes, toilet paper, I had thought about that! :D Expanding the grocery is indeed a project as well. I have TOO MANY things I want to do, and I keep adding more! I'll have to set up a poll so you can all help me at deciding what to do! :D I don't know Twisy fries from McDo, but I've seen some somewhere else, I should be able to do that! :D

I'd love if you could make the old playground equipment from the 80s McDonalds. The ones that looked like the random McDonald's characters.

Twisty Fries. The only thing I ever liked from McDo.^^ I remember years ago, they had those little pies looking like chocolate bars (size wise). They were horrible but everyone bought them here. Anyway, I hope you are going to expand on your grocery shop items. Especially products paired in 4s, so you can fill the shelves easier. Eggs, butter, frozen stuff, fruit, veggies, hygiene articles (TOILET PAPER!). Shopping carts! It just makes the game a bit more realistic if you have a proper supermarket. And my beloooooveeeeeeed Chocolatier.^^

OK! :)

Argh, actually, I was thinking to a big professional (and decorative) deep fryer, the one of the Sims 3 store would be too small for the volume of fries a McDonald's restaurant needs! :D BUT I keep this idea in the corner of my mind, and I'll see if I can't make a deep fryer later (not done yet?)
Around the Sims
Oh, that can be fun! I made searches and found plenty of those that could be fun to do!

Desserts like ice cream cones/McFlurrys would be cool

The deep fryer from TS3 Store please

It'd be neat to see some of the menu items from McDonalds in other countries, since that could be a fun way to add variety while using relatively similar models, so it's time saving for you. Like how McDonalds in japan has the shrimp burger, or in Korea they have corn pies as a dessert.
