STOREFRONT STYLE GUIDE
We have a fantastic range of over 20 storefront templates to choose from. Here is a quick guide.
Four Different Design Series:

This series comprises two templates:
Slimline: the default template that you are given when first purchasing a storefront
Standard: this used to be the default, but has now been converted into an option
Style Series
These templates are identical to the Standard, but come in a range of different styles:
Boutique: Glitzy and glam
Nighthawk: Dark and moody
Bubblegum: Pink and fluffy
Coastal Shore: Windswept and cool

Decorating your storefront
Like all our templates, storefronts have “slots” that you can use to upload your images and videos (subject to subscription level). However, the storefronts do not all have identical slots.
Starter and Style Series
Every template in these series has identical slots, although in the Slimline template, they are in slightly different locations within the room. Therefore, once you have decorated the room, you can interchange between any templates from these two series and the images will transfer directly.
Shop Series
Again, these all have identical slots so you can interchange between templates from this series. However, the slots (shape, quantity, and position) differ from those in the Starter and Style series. This means that if you switch between templates from other series, your uploaded images may not all be displayed. They won’t be lost, and if you switch back again they will reappear, and you can always access them from your Uploads folder too.
Signature Series
The templates in this series all have unique slot layouts. So when switching between them, or with any other template, you may again temporarily lose some content.
Storefront sizes
Starter: Standard and Style Series
The “Style” series and the Standard template are all the same size.
Starter: Slimline
The Slimline is the smallest template, designed to alleviate situations where there is clipping from neighbouring buildings.
Style and Signature Series
The Style and Signature series are all slightly smaller than Standard, and will therefore resolve minor clipping.
“You Choose”
All templates in the Shop and Signature series, as well as the Slimline, have the “You Choose” tech. This means that you can upload your own designs for the floor, walls, and sometimes other areas too.
For walls and floors, this works best if you select a square image that is fully tileable (when laid like tiles, all edges match seamlessly). For other areas (e.g. dado rails) a plain block colour image is best.
