So I won’t be following a course assignment for assignment, but I will be using different zoo U courses for this build.

Link for Zoo U main thread:

zoo_u_threadbanners_mainlogo_masterlink.png

I’m also using GreenCats CFE tutorials found here.
I am also using the remove stencil mode, and this guide by Joolster
as I'm using Nrass Debug Enabler, and already used it on the tower deco, it be fair to mention it, and Joolsters guide, to see the guide look here and a few more hight advice here.
apartment build guide


What am I building?
Well the new home for my legacy family that they will live in when we move to Hidden Springs.
It will be an old mansion on the banks of the lake, slightly inspired by some difrent Nordic mansions and by Moonlight Hollow items, (hey I like them).
The mansion is supposed to look like it’s been modernized, but keeping some of the old feel… in other words it isn’t in historical time,

This lovely lady is my buildersim for this build.

Any constructive comments on what you like what I could do ideas posting excreta is very welcome.
Just be nice I’m not an experienced builder, not very good at it.

I’m also remodeling HS, if you want to help you can, I'm still missing a few public lots, many homes and sim families. I apriciat any help given.
http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/833649/help-me-rebuild-hidden-springs-and-get-gifted

finished lot:
Fjordholm Manor
A manor for my legacy family to move into. Several rooms have not been decorated, but kitchen and bathrooms all work. It costs 471 406 in game. It is a build for those that got it all, but You absolutely need the following sets: Now and then manor, the old mill, the green house and MH gold, rest might be esier to replace. See my blackcat build thread for pictures. No CC No CAP – custard scanned.

new works and questions page 9 and forward.

    So this is what I got now, I had some problem leveling the ground for the main house up at ¾ but I did it :mrggreen:


    Basment:
    2pzgwm8.jpg
    This is the real basement, and will have Pascals nectar making and storage area.
    In time it might get slightly expended down and to the site… but that will likely just be a part of game play if they need a vault for relics or so.
    It extend from under the garage to under the main house.

    The day basement level (normal ground level):
    35ba1qv.jpg
    In the upper left corner is the stable, below that the room for the horse equitment (that mostly deco room), the little room in the middle will be a small bathroom with a shower, the room below the work shop (hench the need for a shower here for safty), under that the garage.
    To the right is the day basement under the main house, this is where the kitchen was before, and there will still be a rustic kitchen(jam making and the like) + laundry and a bath.
    I imagen this might be where I have a party/gameing room and or the gym room.
    Between the garage and the old kitchen is an covered archway.


    The main floor:
    jqsrno.jpg
    To the left: a room over the garage (suppose to be part of an old cartaker apartment)
    From that is an other covered archway, leading to the new kitchen, created in an old salon (room to wait in for the doors to the dinning room to open), abow that is the dinning room, to 2 smaal rooms ther is the stair way to the basement and a toilet.
    Then there is the hallway, where there will be 2 stairs up (using the now and then curved stairs).
    To the right of that there is 3 difrent “living rooms” first is the regulare living room, and in the tower I make Josefine a music room, the last one will be part of a library. (havn’t put in all walls yet)


    The first floor:
    2mn3m6q.jpg
    Beside the hall there will be 2 master bedrooms, for the heir and heirs parents, both of those will have ensuit bath.
    Then there be a nursery for 3 cribs, the nursery will be 3 rooms, play room, sleeping room and bathroom.
    There also be level 2 of the library, and then 1 or 2 other bedrooms and a bath.

    Over abov the garage there is a small room (still part of the cartaker apartment)

    Second floor:
    ulyt5.jpg
    Is only in the main house
    Rooms and bathrooms.

    Abow the tower is 1 more level, it will connect with a round stair.
    I will keep the tower wall on all levels, it might get wall inside but I imagen the structure of the tower to need these boundery walls.

    Wow. It looks like a massive undertaking. I love the tower and on the lake it should be breathtaking! :mrgreen:

    it is masive... but for a family of 8.... that got money to spend... well not endless I need to keep it about 400 000
    but as long as that covers the building, kitchen + bath rooms and basic bedrooms they can work for the rest... + the got a few gems I can sell if need be.

    the cost right now is about 60 000

    thank you

    I'm really wanting that chimny that comes tomorow and the stair..... :mrgreen:

    I need them...

    I imagen using the stair to get to the 2. level.... and maybe in the cartaker apartment + to get to the basment.

    right now I gave my testersim (forgot her name I think it is Natasja) a sleeping back and an all in one bathroom in the drive way... when we start testing stairs she gets to adopt a cat...

    she is lucky, as this is for my legacy and I want them to have the chelleng of updating suff... it be limited what she will update.... or decorate.... her job is mainly to keep costs down, and test if we can get places.

    she will be updating fireplaces and stovs + the grow station.
    and might get to make a cool street art in Louisas bedroom...

    Your plans for your build sound great! :) I will look forward to seeing updates of it! Your build tester sim is very nice.

    thank you

    she is mostly a random sim... just tweeked her a bit...

    the build will evolve a lot after the family move in, so when it is finished... it might not even have a gym (other than the room)
    I be focusing on basic rooms, and rooms the curent sims like to use...
    and thats, the horse, music, nectar + kitchen, art (only becouse Maria is still a child, but after she got the caroke thing she uses that all the time) and computters... though Ninette is atletic she is still a child, I might let her have a dance studio in the gym.

    Olivia mostly play and Rebekka is just a toddler.

    I think I made the roof work...

    what do you think

    sure need to place the last roof deco and cast it... but

    ri6f41.jpg

    2vhvd7d.jpg
    not sure about the roof on the extension out in the garden after the tower...but I guess it works... atleast there is a roof and no gabs

    33uvrt2.jpg
    (just ignore the 2 walls of looking at doors and windows... when the house is done this is where the playground, greenhouse, and other garden things will be.)

    and I worked on my ide for the wall covering....

    ic4wmh.jpg

    think this light sand plaster is fine for it... but what do you guys think

    Thank you both of you

    happy the roof look good to others, then I won't fidle more with it (exsept adding the last deco and casting the deco)

    I'm being inspired by danish manors... imagening it is an old Manor of HS... that now is in the town... but when it was a village in the woods it was sorounded by fields...


    I think I keep the yellow color... but might change the stone color a bit... nt sure... sort of like it sticking out, like it is even older.


    will need to work on windows and doors soon...

    and then the stairs and inside walls

    thank you

    I keep speculating over the stir up to the cartaker apartment.. and to the second level of the apartment....

    L shaped
    spiral
    or normal with no wall under it...

    I know I want the new L shaped in the main house....
    and I sort of like the idea of only using L shaped if posibel...

    I have 2 balconies on the top floor... but I don't know if I schould have more around the house... any ideas?

    I'm not going to make 1 big over the porch... actually I might make the porch smaller... to make it fit a danish manor more in the look

    To change the mailbox, type in testingcheatsenabled true, then cntrl+shift+ left click on the default letter box and press delete.
    Then buy your new letter box. The sim has to be living on the lot for the cheat to work.
    I hope that helps. :)
