Description:
For sims that are sick of living in the suburbs, Backdoor Lane provides an alternative: a couple of small town lots with a more urban look and feel. They fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, creating a maze of backyard gardens and interconnected alleyways when placed in a tightly spaced neigbourhood. Most of them work as corner lots as well as facing the street, creating a very different impression depending on how you place them and what's on the lot next door.


Backdoor Lane 26 - "Bay Tree" restaurant
A small restaurant built on a 1x2 mini lot, with 8 tables on two floors and outside. Furnished in light wood with lots of green plants, in my imaginations this is a vegetarian/vegan/health food restaurant (note also the distinctive lack of dead flowers). Two bathrooms and a small shower room for the employees, open kitchen upstairs, playtested with 15 or so sims on the lot and works nicely (unlike it might seem, the stairs are not a bottleneck -- it worked very well with waiters and guests going up- and downstairs all the time).

If you're using this as a regular comm lot you should probably remove the table in the kitchen -- I put it there so that tired employees would always have somewhere to rest, but in non-owned mode you can't avoid guests being seated there which I find rather odd.

Please don't PM me with neighbourhood terrain requests (look in the Neighbourhoods section instead), downloading issues (I can't help you -- look in Site Issues, Q-XPress forums etc), or Build Mode questions (general questions go here, lot specific questions in the d/l thread). Thanks.

3. Install: Double-click on the .sims2pack file to install its contents to your game. The files will automatically be installed to the proper location(s).

• You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.
