tigeranneThis was a relatively quick and easy build. I used a real floorplan, but I managed to fit in more rooms on the upper floor than in the original. There are seven bedrooms in all, including a ground-floor nursery, five full bathrooms, one tiny extra bathroom, a TV-den and a large, open kitchen/dining/livingroom.
I decided to go sort of Maxis-match this time, so I went for a strong, cheerful yellow siding.
Here's the front door. The floorplan had it set into a nook, so I just copyed that. There's a flower bed for an additional splash of colour.
A double garage, which can fit both their traditional troll-face car, and a big family van.
The back of the house, with the patio. I added some flowers to make it look more inviting. There is no furniture or interior decoration yet.
What you can't really see in these pictures, because I took the pictures from angles that hide it, is that the house's got a giant roof of DOOOM. It's not particularly pretty on the whole, and I'm not bursting with pride, but it will do for now.

I'll take your word on the roof being not so nice, but from what we can see it looks great.
The one thing that I don't understand is that you mentioned five full bathrooms. Now why would you waste time and space adding that when you know we'll all be crowding that tiny extra bathroom?
Love,
your sims 8D

I had to deploy all sorts of methods of trickery, and I still couldn't get it quite like I had it before. Roofing in later versions of the Sims franchise is probably better.
OT, but you'll have to excuse me if I barely make sense or make a bunch of typos or disappear. There are a few comments of yours I want to respond to, but I'm running on sleep deficit right now. My dumb insomniac uncle has decided it's fun to hum and whistle intermittently overnight. x\
