Rustic WIP

It's been another brief stint between creations.  Can't say that my drive has been completely back, but I have started another build that I figured I could share.


It's a pretty basic build, but I enjoyed adding the rustic touches of wood beams and the windows from Pets EP.  The back of the house has a two-story balcony with plenty of outdoor patio space.  The pond also leads around to the back of the house and will provide fishing spawners.  There is as yet a garage, but I may add one to the left side of the house if room permits, and have it attached.  I haven't built any interior walls so I can't say whether this will be a family home or a smaller home.

Check back soon for updates to this house.

Happy Simming!

New! Paradise

Paradise is a luxury 20's style mansion built for Roaring Heights.  There are three large bedrooms and two large bathrooms, and one half-bath.  This home is 3rd-party CC free, CAP free but contains many store items and sets.  Roaring Heights and Midnight Hollow recommended.  Items from the Stone's Throw Greenhouse and the Regency Arcade venues are also highly recommended.

The highlights of the home are the manicured gardens in front and back of the home, gazebo, fountains and large, attached pool house.  There is also a one-car garage.


All expansions up to ITF and the OLS and Master Suite Stuff Packs were used in making this home.

Paradise is fully play-tested and all appliances and bathroom fixtures have been upgraded (this includes the many fire places).

(Be warned, this post if picture-heavy.)






















Paradise and other creations can be found in My Studio.  Please remember to recommend if you like it. :)

Happy Simming!

New! Isabella


Isabella is a 3 bedroom, 3 full bath Tudor-style home on a 20x20 lot.  Isabella can comfortably hold a family of five, and is fully furnished and decorated and the price comes in just under 40,000 simoleans.  This home was originally built in Riverside, but not on any pre-existing lot in the town.



Isabella has only 1 3rd Part CC item, and it is NOT transferrable, meaning it is not included in the download.  The garage door needs to be downloaded separately from the house and is available at ModTheSims.info by HugeLunatic.

The only store items used, which are not listed on the item description page are the shuttered windows you see on the front of the house and the flower rug in the girls' room. Those items are only available through Aurora Skies.  All other items in the house are in the expansion packs.

Although this house is built with low-end appliances and bathroom fixtures, they have all been upgraded.  The house has been play-tested with a family of five to ensure traffic routes aren't blocked.    







Isabella and other creations can be found in My Studio.

Thanks for reading and please remember to download and recommend!

Happy Simming!

Coming Soon! Salon & Spa


I decided that Riverview (or any other town) might enjoy an updated salon and spa.  I've been building a lot in Riverview and I've forgotten that it actually has one of the best layouts of all the towns I've ever played.  (The only town I don't have is Lunar Lakes.) For being a free town, and as old as it is, Riverview is a lovely town.

Anyway, I actually removed a pre-built house that was located on this corner and built this Salon that's equipped with Ambitions make-over stations and the massage beds from the Sunlit Tides Store World.  I also used Roaring Heights build items which give this building that older flare.

This is ready for upload, but I'm having problems getting decent interior pictures because every time I go into camera mode the building glitches out like my sim isn't there. You know if your draw distance is down then nearby buildings look kinda Minecraft-ish..... well, that's what the salon does in camera mode and it makes it difficult to get a worthy shot.

I also have plans to rebuild some other Ambitions buildings and removing two other houses on the same street as the salon.  When I upload this I'll be sure to specify the address, because this building is intended for Riverview and built with two entrances since it's a corner lot.  But with some minor changes this could be placed in any town.  :)

Coming Soon!

Not sure what I'm going to call this house just yet, but this is a home for Roaring Heights and features quite the glamorous lifestyle for sims.

I ought to have it ready within a few days.  There's landscaping to do in the back and finishing touches to the interior.

This is a CC FREE home, but uses tons of store content.

New! Sandalwood


Sandalwood is a 3BR/2.5BA Traditional home, built as similarly as possible to my own real house.  I originally started this out of boredom on graph paper when the power was out and decided to share after building it in Sims 3.  :)

The best features of the home is the vaulted ceiling in the living room, the ample space for a growing family, a fenced-in back yard with room to add an outdoor play ground and outdoor cooking/entertainment.  Everything but the bedrooms have been fully furnished and designed.  And you may notice the one very pink bedroom -- well, that's my daughter's room and the paint color she chose when we moved into our house, lol. ;-)

This home contains 2 pieces of Transferrable CC only:  MissyZim at TSR created matching windows sets for the base game Colonial windows.  The MZ 2x1 Tall Shutter and the MZ 2x1 Colonial Window Tall are all that is included with the house as 3rd party CC.

Everything else in the home is from the Store (a painting for Aurora Skies is the only thing the Sims 3 asset page did not list.) And from the following Expansions: WA, AMB, LN, Pets, ST, Seasons, SN, IP, ITF

Sandalwood was built in Riverview on 30 Hidden Grove Lane.  Although on the item images I said Riverside thanks to a brain fart.  (facepalm)

On to the pics!








You can easily remove the CC through Delphy's Custard Tool which you can find at MTS (Modthesims.info) if you want a CC Free version.  The Custard tool is straight-forward and easy to use.

Please Recommend/Download/Favorite if you like it.

As always, Happy Simming!

NEW! Grayson



Grayson is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath traditional home with stone siding.  This home is pretty basic, a good home for those that like to decorate and make homes their own but don't like or want to build their own house.





Grayson comes only partially furnished, and the furnishing that is there is simply to give downloaders the idea of the intended layout.  The only thing that may be worthwhile to keep is the kitchen counters because I placed them with build cheats.

The landscaping is also simple, allowing downloaders to customize should they want to do more with it.  The back of the lot is completely empty in regards to landscaping.  But there's room to add a back porch/patio area and any outdoor activities your sims may like.

This home has no CAP Patterns and no 3rd Party CC and there's 1 free store item, a tree from one of the free sets.

You can download Grayson and other creations by visiting My Studio.

Please remember to download and recommend.

HAPPY SIMMING!
