KaylyRed's Brookvale Estate - Dutch Colonial Manor for Renaissance Sims

KaylyRed

BROOKVALE ESTATE

Brookvale Estate was created with the renaissance sim in mind! It has many areas for working on skills including a gym, solarium (with garden containers), sunroom with easel, two office areas, a bar, and a chef's kitchen. There's also a playroom, second living area upstairs, and two expansive porches.

There is an enormous spiral garden walk in back, with a spot for sims to rest and enjoy nature. Also plenty of space to add items for childrens' outdoor activities.

3 Bedroom (potential for 5) | 3 Bathroom | 50 X 50 Lot

It's taken me a couple of weeks to build this home, but I'm very pleased with the results. Hope you enjoy it!

Brookvale Estate is very nice! Very nice exterior of it! The roofing is very nice! Very nice outdoors areas! The spiral garden area is very nice! Sims will enjoy sitting resting on the seat, and enoy seeing the nice flowers around them The bird bath is a nice touch there. The water fountain features in the front of the build look very nice. Very nice curved roof covered front porchway entrance to the home! The texture of the exterior looks great. It looks nice how you have done the pathways. It looks very nice how you have placed the flowers, rocks and plants on the edges of the house. Great patio area for sims to enjoy cooking on the bbq and eating outdoors. Very nice layout and furnishing of the interior of the home! Nice music room. Sims will enjoy sitting resting on the sofas there listening to the grand piano being played. It looks nice how you have plsced the music themed pictures on the wall there. The coat stand in the corner near the door is a great touch. Great design of the kitchen. The island bar stool counter is great. Sims will enjoy seeing the sunny yellow flowers on the dining table whilst enjoying eating their meals. Very nice sitting rooms for sims to enjoy resting on the seats having a chat, watching tv or reading a book. Nice window art alcove area for sims to enjoy painting on the easel or doing woodwork on the woodwork table whilst enjoying looking through the windows at the outdoors views. The fish bowl on the coffee table in the sitting area near the arts area is a nice restful sight for sims to see when sitting there. It looks great how you have done the flooring there. Nice study nook area. Sims will like sitting at the desk table there, having a read of a book from the bookcase and using the computer. It looks very nice how you have placed the cabinets around the bedhead in the bedroom! The mountain picture on the wall is calming for sims to see when going to bed. It looks great how you have used the arches through the build, both inside and outdoors. Very nice light filled solarium! The plants and flower cart there look very nice. Sims will enjoy sitting on the seats there with the sunshine coming in through the windows.
It is a very nice home

This is a lovely build. I like how you have used the fencing inside and also the shape of the roof. It all looks amazing!

KaylyRed

Thank you, @rosemow and @keshialee!

Charming home! Especially love the architecture and attention to detail in your landscaping!

Brookvale Estate is stunning, great architecture and love the way you've designed the roof structures. Fantastic landscaping, really beautiful planting

KaylyRed

Thanks much, @BryonyRae and @masajo. The roof was a pain, and it's the reason the build took so long (kept running into that wall bug where the game tells you the wall does not exist, or leaves roof fragments in the game). I'm glad I was finally able to finish it.

What a lovely house, and your landscaping is beautiful!!

Now this needs to be in a magazine, I can definitely see why it took a lot of time considering all the details you've added to it. The Brookvale Estate is superb!! The outside garden is a place I'd love to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee IRL. How you made the bed in one of those bedrooms look like one of those beds that fold out of the walls is very cool..a very neat idea, I might add! Awesome work, KaylyRed! (*)

Loads of nice things to say about this, but I really like your flower/garden area. At least for me it takes a ton of time to get plant/flower placement and terrain painting right to give an effect of a realistic-looking beautiful but not overly formal cottage garden.

KaylyRed

Thank you, @Tiki5872, @lessthanzero1013 and @kristinemancuso!

I enjoy gardening myself, so I have a lot of fun creating garden designs in The Sims. I don't like anything too formal, just as Kristine said. In a perfect world, I'd be enjoying a cup of coffee in a real garden like the ones we can make in TS4. But, I live vicariously. At least my sim read a book last night on the bench there under the tree.
