So uh... I recently got into the Sims 4, like, REALLY got into the Sims 4, like played it for hours on end and forgetting to eat levels of getting into the Sims 4.

And well, it's no surprise that I would attempt to recreate Dino Digs Daycare from my series in it! I mean, I literally created a floor plan, so it was a good thing to work off. This actually isn't my first shot at the daycare, but my second, I have an older version of it built on a much smaller plot, which meant a lot of details like the nurse's office had to be omitted, I also didn't have much knowledge of the building tools and techniques that are staples for serious builds in the Sims 4 like quarter tile placement, bb.moveobjects, and object scaling. I also didn't have the growing together expansion pack for my first take either.

Building the daycare in a 3d environment was incredibly helpful at giving me a better idea and reference of how everything should fit and details I have missed with just a simple floor plan, for instance, the entrance of the daycare now includes a reception counter, staff office, and an electronic gate into daycare, areas like the pretty scattered nursery and sick bay now have more fleshed out floor plans, and areas that were originally huge, like the bathrooms and assembly hall have been reduced in size.

Now obviously, this isn't a 1-1 replica of the daycare, as I feel like certain objects are hard to replicate without other packs or CC and would be better if I could simply just draw them in, for instance, the classroom's chairs are pretty big, and there are some areas I'm not 100% satisfied with like the play area. Also, the Daycare is incomplete, as it's lacking its second floor at the moment.
