Heritage, A New Sims 3 Lot ... And a legacy lot, coming soon!

Long time, I know.  I took a major hiatus from the game after I felt let down by Sims 4.  Long story short, I don't like build mode in Sims 4 so I don't build or actively play it.  I have been back to Sims 3 about a month now and I've just started building again.  This time around, I'm building for myself.

I uploaded a new home a few days ago but decided I should probably revisit my old blog in case I still have some followers around. :)

I got a new computer, which has been proving a super-awesome-champ at running Sims 3.  But my internet connection's so slow that I've only gotten around to adding WA back into the game.  I've decided that over time, I'll be putting in the other expansions, stuff packs and store content I have.

So, first, off to the new home:

"Heritage" is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom, traditional home.  The only items I used outside of the Base game (Sims 3) items are 3 store sets: India Inspirations, Morocco Mystique, Critter Comfort and Lullabies & Nursery Rhymes.

This home is CC Free and was built on 58 Water Lily Lane in Sunset Valley.  The total price for the  home is 51,597 simoleans fully furnished.

This home, despite the traditional outside, has a Hindu influence in decor and was built for my growing Hindu family, The Jhamanpur's.

And remember, you can click on the images to enlarge them.

You can download this home by visiting my Sims 3 Studio and the direct link for this home is available Here.

And because the Jhamanpur family is growing and I've been breeding them somewhat like rabbits, I'm building for them a potential legacy house with more Indian flare, and one that actually has a bit of Indian architecture with the design.  Here's a teaser pic:

Coming Soon! Burnham Ridge

Another Sims 4 home is on it's way to you soon!  I have some finishing touches to make and one last room to furnish.

This home is actually pretty spacious despite being on a small lot.  It will feature a galley-style kitchen, open foyer and great room with a full bath and 2 bedrooms on the main floor.  On the second floor there will be 2 additional bedrooms and another full bath.  The highlight of this home will be the ample outdoor space.  There's a covered porch on the side of the home that wraps around to the back but is exposed to the sunlight with a grill and picnic area.

This home will be 3rd party CC - free!

I am also creating this home in Sims 3, but it's interior is not as far along as the Sims 4 counterpart.

I will post a picture of that home once I get back into Sims 3. :D

Also, I'm still slowly working on the Tudor - style home for Sims 3, but there are a lot of elements I wanted to include in it so it's just going at a slow pace, but I'm definitely over half-way through with that one.  And the other Sims 3 WIP with the fishable pond has had no further work on it, until this one and the Tudor home is finished it's on the back-burner for now.

Ta! And Happy Simming!

New! Sims 4's HGTV Dream Home

The Sims 4 version of the HGTV Dream Home is ready!  You can download this house via The Gallery in your Sims 4 game! Just search for #HGTVDreamHome2015 or my user name, Peaches327.

The house is very spacious and perfect for large families.  It's a 5 bedroom (1 bedroom is a dedicated nursery) 2 bath house.  All on one floor and you can easily monitor all your sims when your camera is zoomed out.   I did not change the name of this house - bad habit I'm developing with Sims 4 - and so the plot that I built it on is the default name which I don't have handy.  

Eh.  I'll work on that.  

Anyway!  On to the pics:

(Remember you can click on the pics to enlarge them)

The only thing not pictured are the bathrooms and that's only because it's hard to really get a decent picture in such small spaces.  But both bathrooms are furnished and function.  The home has been play-tested as well.

On a side note, when I moved a family into this house some items disappeared.  Not sure if it's because I used the cheat to enlarge certain items or what but if any items are missing from the house when you download it, please let me know so I can be sure to troubleshoot it not happening in future builds.


Please be sure to favorite me if you like my creations so that you'll see more of what I upload.  Also, please feel free to leave comments and "likes" on the house.

Happy Simming!

Sims 3 HGTV Dream Home

Hello Again!

Just a quick update via piture of what the HGTV Dream Home looks like in the Sims 3 version.

As you can see, it looks more like the HGTV home than the Sims 4 version but I like both equally.

This Sims 3 version will have a garage and 2 parking spots for cars.  In the Sims 4 version, since there are no cars, will feature a 4th bedroom.

That's all I have for now! Check back later for on-going updates to all the WIPs I have.

Happy Simming!

Coming Soon! HGTV Dream Home 2015

If there's one thing I love it's HGTV and they've started showing the new Dream Home for 2015.  I decided to start building this home in Sims 3 and Sims 4.  Here's a variant of the Dream Home for Sims 4.  Sadly, since tile selections are so limited it's a little less Cape Cod and more basic.  But I still like this overall look. I have the interiors to do on this home.

The Sims 3 home I have the shell up and since I have more textures to choose from I think the Sims 3 home will actually look more like the HGTV Dream Home than the Sims 4 house does.  But since it's just the shell I don't have a picture to show for it.  But here's a reference picture of the real Dream Home:

And last, just because I can and because I thought her expression was funny, here's a pic of my mommy-sims in Sims 4 playing "sea creature" with her kids.

Sims 4 WIP

I'm working on another build for Sims 4.  And don't worry, I still plan to pop back in to Sims 3 to finish the two WIPs I've been sharing here.

Personally, (and off-topic) I prefer building in Sims 3 so much more.  Seriously.  Playing Sims 4 and building makes me miss Sims 3.  Part of it is that I'm so used to Sims 3 but an equal part of that is that the devs behind Sims 4 limited a lot of the things I enjoyed... like using the cheat moveobjects... I've said it before, I know, but I just can't get over how a basic cheat such as that didn't migrate to the new game.

Anyway, I'll be getting back to you on my Sims 3 WIPs eventually.  Here's a gothic Victorian I'm trying to build in Sims 4:

One of the frustrations I have with Sims 4 in regards to this build is the ability to not use the end wall coverings where I want them.  Sims 4 auto-places the corner wall pieces with the brick accents.  In Sims 3 I could choose where to place them and it looks much better, too.

Enough complaining though, I'm seriously trying to enjoy Sims 4, I promise. :)

Happy Simming!

NEW Sims 4 Home

Hello all,

Now that The Sims 4 is out, I have a home I'd love to share.  I'm still learning and practicing building homes in Sims 4 but my recent home I feel good about sharing here with some pics.  This is the 2nd home I've build in Sims 4, but the first one I'm sharing on my blog.  And, silly me, I didn't change the name of the lot so the home uses the name of the lot I built it on.  The home was built on the Potter's Splay lot in Willow Creek.

There is no 3rd part CC and the home is mostly furnished, only the 2 smaller bedrooms are left empty for customization.  Everything else is provided for and the home has been play-tested, though there's not really a need for play-testing since there's no moveobjects cheat in Sims 4. (shakes fist at EA)

This post is picture-heavy, beware.  And I'm still trying to grasp picture-taking in game, so my shots may not be the best. And you can click on the images to enlarge them.

These first shots are the different times of day:

Here are the over-head interior shots showing the lay out:

 And interior shots of the home:

Picture of the back of the house, which offers a gardening space, picnic table and grill for some light outdoor entertainment:

To download this home, see my first home I created that really isn't my best (LoL) and to see some sims I've created, you can find my creations in the Gallery in-game if you search for PEACHES327.

Please be sure to leave a comment or "like" the item. :D

Happy Simming!
