Studio 8

Studio 8 is a Residential lot in SimValley in The Sims Bustin' Out for console. It is an art studio ran by Charity Grant and Artie Fischl. The lot offers career promotions in the Counter Culture and Fashion Victim careers.

At first whenthe player's sim arrives, they arrive to more of a rather empty warehouse than an art studio. Usually the best thing to do is get rid of the windows out front  and any decorations that "eat up" the object meter. If players are able to: sell everything, tear down the entire lot and build another building.

Sometimes it's best to put in new wallpaper and flooring in every room. The main room to begin with: using attractive bright wallpaper like the Last Simeloen and nice wood flooring such as the Luxury Wood flooring. Players should also put in better art work and a stereo system is what you need, other than better art work). This will increase the looks and give off better impressions, including giving your guests the chance to have fun while checking out the studio. Players can even put in the sculptures. The "lobby" or first room players can use a much better wallpaper like the Othello wallpaper and use the Pine Sol wood floor. That will bring guests into a comforting welcome. Hint: Try putting in a couple comfy chairs or a sofa or two. This'll keep guests interested and comfortable. The second room which contains the kitchen, dining, and miniature art space and library is the player's own decision. They can put in wood flooring, attractive carpet, or better tiling instead of cement. They can also put in more tables and chairs for better dining. A better kitchen: sell the counter and put in a stove sincde there is none, compactor, processor, and espresso machine. The bedrooms and bathrooms are again the player's decision. But the bathroom in the small room could use two toilets or more. Bedrooms can use more relaxing wallpaper and much better flooring like the Electric Fields wallpaper and Luxury wood flooring for the first and Paradise Found wallpaper with Pine Sol wood floor for the second (for example). It's the player's choice though.
