Some subtle details that I love about it are:

The caretaker and his cart
The caretaker's small housing area in the corner
The paper burner
The snow = paper shreddings
Stacked newspapers all around (took forever)
Its basically exactly how I would envision the basement of a newspaper company

Wow that's really nice, even though it looks cluttered the effect is good, +rep.

:O That is amazing tbh!

I can tell a hell of a lot work went into making that.


I love all the little details you included to really make it realistic!

The boxes work perfectly, as do the Matt's,

Possibly the most realistic room I have seen in a long time.

Loves it! 10/10

Thanks a ton :D. I love nothing more when designing than to have people tell me they understand exactly what I'm going for.

I liked it when it was in the middle of being made but it just seems random to me now.

Very nice, but it looks rather too cramped towards the left side which takes the good effect away from it a little for me. But very good. 8/10

thx for the crit; The effect I was going for here was basically a pile of unused crap, pushed aside by whoever into the basement. I guess the way I tried to counter-act the crampiness was leave space on the outside of the pile to work around. After all, you dont necessarily need to trek through a pile of junk, you just throw whatever you can on top of it

Omg! Those plants on the pile are going to die if they aren't taken good care of.. someone must water them. :)

I really love this room Billy. Great ideas. My favorite parts are the guy pushing the cart and the Janitors bedroom and office. Well done.

Yeah shoutout to prebbo who helped me by stacking the bookshelves and some of the papers while I worked on the rest of the room. Would have taken me ages on the lappytop.

Might start producing rooms full force again like I used to. Not enough competitions or incentive though... (Just a badge = not enough for all the time spent doing this *REMOVED*)

I'm shocked to find that I didn't even make runner up with this room.

Not being over-confident or anything, but I think mine was at least better than the runners up :/
