The lots are both functional and ready for you to enjoy! Everything is working GREAT now!

-Play Tested The FURNISHED Jetsons Schools UPDATED
(Added a Taxi Waiting Area, Removed Extra Ascension Stair from Little Dipper School)


GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE COLLECTION
After watching videos of the Jetsons, I coerced Jason Duskey into making meshes to bring the Jetsons to life. I provided the inspiration, Jason created the meshes, I colored the texture maps, Jason packaged the objects and I created 7 lots (3 residential and 4 community). Teamwork? Each lot lives somewhere between cartoons and reality.

I know lot designing can LOOK easy, but this collection took a LOT of energy! I welcome any and all feedback and comments on this collection BEFORE and AFTER you add the lot(s) to your game. -stephanie b.

SPECIAL THANK YOU and LINK!
I promised NOT to make a big deal out of your contribution J-, but I am beyond grateful for your help. Initially, I only wanted 1 or 2 objects. It turned into a small collection that inspired my 1 lot to become 7. I want to thank you sincerely for enduring my perfectionist behavior and creating meshes that were exactly as I envisioned them to be. I LUV the signs, the domes, the chairs, the decorative lights and especially the desks! I love it all! You're status of importance in my life has reached a new height and I treasure the friendship we have. Thank you.

- Bedding by ROCCA http://www.modthesims2.com/member/Rocca
- Bedding by LASCIEL http://www.modthesims2.com/creator/lasciel

STAIRS AND GETTING FROM PLACE TO PLACE
I used the Invisible Tile by Frillen and the Ascension Stairs (in invisible mode) by Targa to achieve a "futuristic" look and feel. Simply click on where you want your Sims to go and they will take the shortest route there!

LOADING TIME
Please keep in mind I used new meshes and built 1-3 levels above the ground. Because of these things, it may take anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes to load the FIRST TIME you enter each lot. After that, loading time should normalize depending how much "juice" your computer has.

CUSTOM CONTENT
Please understand that I LOVE build mode and garden Custom Content as it often helps to bring my lots to life. While I try not to include too many custom based objects in my game, they will more often than not be a part of my lots. I mainly use windows, doors, fencing, roofing, flowers and my textures (walls, floors & ground covers). On occasion, I may use a specific furniture set if I am creating a theme-based lot. Also keep in mind that when there are multiple downloads on the page, the custom content is spread out between all of the lots. If you prefer not to use custom content, simply use the SIMS2PACK to uncheck the objects you don't want in your game. Keep in mind, doing so may COMPLETELY change the "look" of the lot with build mode items.
