Sunset Valley Remodel

RodJohn

So, I have been very slowly (only when I feel up to it) remodeling and rebuilding a lot of the houses in Sunset Valley. What started off as fun turned into a headache--with me sighing all the time what have I gotten myself into? Sunday I started working on Summer Hill Court and the Wolff residence. These are my results. I was pretty happy with them! Enjoy!

A large Tudor-ish style manor house in the center lot of Summer Hill Court.





An ostentatious palladian-inspired mansion on the old Landgraab lot:




A chateau-esque Second Empire dwelling where the Alto residence once stood:



And a slightly beachy manor for the Wolffs to move into where their modern house was:

I love your remodels. The original houses are so strange. They are so huge and spread out but very few bedrooms.

@Zeegee Agreed and never been a fan of huge mansions,love smaller homes that function.

@RodJohn Nice job now Thorton has a great place to retire too when he cheats on his wife with Jamie Jolina.Plenty of room for his Jamie baby army.

@CravenLestat Couldn't decide whether to hit 'insightful' or 'lol' but then remembered we don't have 'lol' anymore so insightful won out.

P.S. Jamie Jolina, pfffft

Looks great! I love big houses and manors, but people usually make them TOO big or 'complicated'(with many small, wierd room, overly furnished etc.) I like the relative simplicity of these, combindes with luxurious design, good job :-) Have you uploaded them to the Gallery?

I haven't, but I certainly will! Be on the lookout later this afternoon. I have a ton of other builds featured in the "what happened in your sims game today" thread that I can upload as well.

I know what you mean! The old Landgraab house was huge but literally only had three bedrooms. Ridiculous! I moved them back in to the new one and it has 5 if I can remember correctly.

Looks great! Sometimes we set our self something to do or a challenge and then half way we think why did start this! But at the end it'll all be worth it :) I do agree though the base game houses have open plan downstairs but then upstairs it's a bit of a let down the rooms are small or there just isn't enough in proportion to the rest of the house. Makes you think why would them make the downstairs so big if theres not many bedrooms to have sims live there?
