This, combined with other modern interior asset packs, is all I need for my current gamedev project. This is beyond fantastic.

Looking forward to having four hundred kid sprites toss balls around (and at one another! xD) in the mega ball pit...

Oh, and yeah; expect some arcade machine edits to be seen in-game with some very specific peripherals that I will not name here because I hear rumor that some companies don't like the mere mention of their IP mentioned on this platform.

Oh, yeah; that's Beavis about to go down the up escalator in a speeding shopping cart, being chased by Butthead... xD

Now, onto the serious part of my review.
All the pieces are in their proper place (no offset tiles and no non-blank Tile 0 issues), so that's great. The variety of pieces and editables, plus the sheer number of prebuilt items, makes this a good asset pack. Yes, of course one has to set up all the passability theirselves, but that's not too difficult to do, usually.

About the only thing this is missing is a glamour boutiqué (shops like MAC, Sephora, Victoria's Secret and so on), but it has everything else, bookstore, general goods, food, toilets, fun zones, the wishing fountain (like the choice in central decor)...
and it is missing the aforementioned escalator...come to think about it...lolz

Oh yeah; there's not really any novelty pieces, like gag items (think Spencer's), but that's just coming from someone who enjoys these bizarre places.

The signs; one would of though that there would of been blank signs for editing, but no there isn't. It doesn't look too complicated to edit the existing ones but a sign template would of been better.

Pros:
Lots of editable and premade parts
Several complete feeling venues
Tiles are not out of place
High quality and decent price (still go for a discount if you can-I did)
The EULA is pretty much 'use it for whatever, just don't claim it as your own'

Cons:
Some venues/shop types are not present
Some common mall things are also not present
Mostly nitpicky stuffs, including a lack of a demo for those that prefer to have tile passability set for them (if this is done I usually end up modifying it anyway)
The EULA is pretty much 'use it for whatever, just don't claim it as your own'
(I definitely see that as a double-edged sword)

Conclusion:
Ultimately, if you're looking to have more modern-esque shops, this will boost the content of them by a lot, though it may clash with other graphic packs, keep that in mind. If you have the Always, Sometimes, Monsters asset pack, this will go well with it, and with some other Modern Interior assets.

Rating: 8/10
Bring us a boutiqué, a gag shop, sign templates, and an escalator, 9/10
