Should be done soon, it's just decorating now. I had to switch out a few of the structural elements since some were from Pets, but I'm happy so far.

And the lots for the Ambitions Upload are just about ready:
Artimal- art center with sculpting station and woodworking, plus consignment shop and time machine
Dirtbuster- laundromat
TAME- salon and tattoo parlor (pictures below)
I was thinking about calling the upload Ambitious Additions - what do you think?

UPDATE March 18th - Yay! I found them. I’m play testing the fire station. I wasn’t able to go to the building and get a job but it worked fine with computer and newspaper. Is that usual? So far I added fire station to the hospital/research lot, converted towers apartments into live show, and added martial arts equipment to gym. Ran into trouble trying to add basement to building on foundation for nectar racks/nectary. Need a building without foundation. Any suggestions? Or I could empty a lot. I’ve been thinking about a building for a Late Night bar too. What other lots do we still need or want? Weren’t we thinking the large empty lot for a Festival lot? Pictures coming soon...

No worries about the Petlandia build. We have no deadline. Whenever you can, we would love to see wip pictures.

tutorial for building basement with foundation: http://www.modthesims.info/article.php?t=497968
Yes, we were thinking of placing the festival lot on the large empty lot on the cat's north side . I thought you were building it, but if you would rather not, we can find another volunteer.
Looking forward to your pictures!

tutorial attuned provided looks good and there is also this video by PolarBearSims https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBkvGOLoi4Y ,but it does use CFE to lower walls to foundation level.

I have been unable to reach you by PM (perhaps your mailbox is full?) Do you need any help?

Sims come and go from the Rabbit Holes without any problem while fire fighters pursue their profession. The only known issue may be that it is necessary to go to the lot to join the fire fighter profession. I don't believe there is an option to join the fire fighter profession on the "pie" menu when the lot is clicked on in Town view. THIS NEEDS TO BE VERIFIED, PLEASE. Also need someone to verify that all Pets items, wallpapers, etc., have been removed. Thanks, SimmyRN
Lot Size: (will add)
Price Unfurnished: (will add)
Price Furnished: (will add)
Credit to Norn for the original lot.
Thank you to all members of Mentoring for Builders and contributors to this project.

The lot looks great!
The missing item from the pie menu sounds like a lot tag issue. If you post a library copy of the lot, I will test it for you

Thanks, attuned! I realized my zipped version of the lot didn't attach to my post for some reason so I added it. How do I make a library version to post? I looked in my library folder and didn't find the lot so I assume it is one of the long strings of random letters/numbers listed.

Seeing it up close, it is a really lovely and functional fire station.
I also play tested it, and it works just fine.
Great job!
As for the lot tags, yes, science and hospital map tags only. To join the firefighters career, the sim has to use the computer, newspaper, or you have to send them to the lot and then click on the fire station. The fire station choices are not available from the town view. I do not know of a work around for this, but perhaps someone else does.
You might want to consider offering two versions, one with and one without the rabbit holes in the basement. Alternately, you can include a note about deleting them if you only want a fire station.

I believe they could work fine even being placed on fire station lot. Good job
I had an interest to your project and still have it. I have one idea for its 3rd part I can try to realise myself now. I would like to convert my Starlight Paws for your project.
As I porbably noticed from Guidelines I need to choose pets and one EP I can use there and I prefer Pets and Into the future. That can become something like alien house for your Petlandia. Something like house of good invadors from outer world. Just tell me what do you think of this? Do you support this idea or this is too much far from village theme?

Apologies for the delayed response. I am the founder of Mentoring4Builders, and one of the co-founders of M4BCreators, the creator group for Mentoring4Builders. Your Starlight Paws is adorable and if you would like to recreate it for TS3, that's great! A few things to note: the project is Base game plus 1 EP, so either ITF or Pets, but not both. We don't have any ITF lots yet, and I would welcome them. The lot would also need to be for one of the size lots we already have in the Petlandia World, which you can find in the first post.
The third thing is that the M4BCreators group is for group uploads, so if you took someone else's lot (with permission of course) and furnished it yourself, that would count- for example, SimmyRN remaking Norn's Wolfson's Research Station to add a fire station. If you uploaded your lot in combination with someone else's lot, like fascisthater's and my Ambitious Additions, that would also count. But to remake your own lot is not really a collaboration with another builder. If you still would like to do this by yourself, I would suggest uploading it to your account at MTS, and I would add a link to your lot on the Petlandia Village download page.
The other choice is to remake a lot we already have in the world, built by someone else, or find another builder who wants to upload a lot for Petlandia in combination with your lot. Let me know if I can be of help, or answer any questions.
