01-12. The Ruins

There are several entertainers in Lost Cove, among residents and service sims. Emad is also a Natural Born Performer, an Acrobat. I needed to put a Showtime stage in the world, so I added a Live venue.

But I decided to place the club underground, beneath a ruined cathedral. The lot is 30x30 and sits by the Chinese Garden and the Ghastly graveyard/community center.
Above ground, the old site is wildly overgrown with weeds and scrubs. No one has bothered to rebuild the cathedral; it's completely demolished.
After dark, The Ruins become shrouded in an eerie glow. Those who attend evening performances are both chilled and thrilled!
One Lost Cove legend tells the story of ghosts from nearby graves haunting the old cathedral. The anguished wails of these spirits can be heard during full moons. They're praying for the lost souls of their vanished world.
Down below, the current residents have cleared the old crypt and tried to liven up the atmosphere. But a feeling of darkness still remains.
One morning, Emad and Bebhinn entered the club for the first time.

Emad: Good vibes, don't you think, Bebby?
Bebhinn: Oh yes! Lots of potential. You need to get this place rocking, Emad!
They tested the acoustics with a little karaoke. The heavy walls provided effective reflection for base frequencies while absorbing higher-pitched ranges.
Bebhinn made a lot of squeaky noise that was easily covered by Emad's deeper voice. Being a natural entertainer, Emad had a great singing voice even though his main talent is acrobatics.
Still, he didn't mind Bebhinn's amateur attempt to sing. He found it appealing!
While Bebhinn talked to the bartender about club activity and turn out, Emad gave a solo performance. He let himself go, doing rebound jumps off the stereo and leaps in the air.

(I wasn't able to get a screenshot of his antics! Maybe another time.)
There was one other small enclosure to check out. Bebhinn wanted Emad to join her in the hidden All-in-One at the back of The Ruins.
The room was tiny, but perfect for what Bebhinn had in mind!
