Chic at Phil's Place

The BBBC topic for today is:

You've been given a sim of your very own to use for free for one year. However, there are 3 rules. It cannot be residential, it cannot be commercial, and it has to be open to the public. What do you do with it ?

I thought quite a bit about this and I read a few posts by others. We all seem to want to add beauty of some kind to our virtual world, and that was my first thought too. But, after some consideration, I decided that my beauty could also be functional. I'd make a Help Center for new folks.

The theme would be survival and the landscape would be forest with lots of places to explore. There would be a vintage train that people could ride and exit as they wished and the depots would have tutorials on things people need to know when new. There would also be a classroom area in the center with meet and greet type spaces tucked here and there.

This wouldn't be a school to teach building techniques, but more of a day to day what I need to know. Everything from opening a box to adjusting prim eyelashes to adding a new pose to your AO. Most of us learn things over time and we forget how difficult it can be simply to be new.
