Hey Kiri,
Sorry - been having an odd week and am distracted - actually some pretty important news but I'll tell you about it later. I made some wallpapers yesterday for SimPearls to try and get me back to TS2 stuff and, as usual, had a million ideas only about 1% of which I managed to complete (maybe exaggerating a teensy bit there)!
If we think about a fish shop, there are various things to think about - but primarily in two parts: build and content.
What do you want to look at? As I built Fromes, maybe I should look at the build (need name and colour scheme to start with - also what build CC (I usually aim to keep down CC if I'm building for upload but it's long since I can build without CC altogether, EAxis stuff is too familiar and too boring)). Is there anything you'd like to include in the build design? I usually do downstairs as a shop and upstairs as a place for the owner. ooo, just thought, another lot (NOT this one) we could build would be a chippy - British chippy. Heh heh.
Do you want to think about content? What would you include in the shop? Is there existing CC that would work (I seem to remember there's some nice fish CC about)? Anything else? Here in the UK you often get lemons, bunches of (curly) parsley and samphire (yum yum). Maybe bottles or cans of Bouillabaisse or caviar, seaweed... stuff related to cooking/eating fish.
Regarding a name, I'm into languages and etymology and I tend to pick names that resonate in some way with me. Fromes just popped into my head but I liked it because 1. it is close to fromage (and French cheese is excellent of course) and makes me think of Frome in Somerset, so has west country (UK) vibes. For a fish shop .... let's have a think.
