@SpecterCody I saw this over The Builder's Workshop thread! Your WIP is looking very grand and gorgeous!
I like your architecture, very complex and beautiful! Awesome roofing work too! I love your column placements too!
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished build! Thanks again for sharing in this thread!
@Zita1966z Oh, so sorry to hear that! But I'm sure your next project will be super amazing and creative! Really, you have very creative builds in your gallery! You're also one of my favorite builders, together with Chris, Yanti, Bry, Matt, etc. Happy Simming! *hugs*
So recently I saw someones interpretation of the Spirited Away bathhouse and though, gee I wonder how accurate one could get it with the limits of The Sims 4. I really really love that film and thought someone ought to try and do it justice so I set out constructing this complex and towering structure. I had to pull out a few tricks with half walls and open basements to give the illusion of more levels and height than I have available. Its was really tricky fitting in all the stuff the bath house has in its vertical facades but I think I managed to do a decent job. I was going mainly for accuracy where possible but not everything can work out. Unfortunately I'm not even done with the exterior and my game is starting to lag a ton when placing items! I am quite disappointed because I'd love to finish this, inside and out.
Here is a reference image, since the movie is hand draw style animation there are limited shots available of the exterior. I had to use other people's model recreations to help with parts the images didn't reveal.
here is what mine looks like
Its pretty short and squat compared to the real one but there isn't much one can do. Let me know what you guys think, I'd love to finish it but the lag is painful
Your simversion of the Spirited Away bathhouse looks very nice! It reflects it very well! The roofing looks very nice! It looks very nice the types of and how you have placed the windows to reflect the original building. The red and green colour looks nice. I hope that you may be able to complete the build if the lag doesn't become too bad.
It looks great!
@rosemow Thank you kindly! I suspect the issue might be large open basements causing lag due to the lighting engine, I will look into it more and report what I find.
@SpecterCody Your version of the Spirited Away bathhouse is looking very nice!
The house I'm gonna share with you guys is one I started a while ago and kind of abandoned when Spa Day came out. I spent the last few days building and playing with the spa stuff, but now I'm trying to finish it!
The front part is pretty much done (I just have to figure out what else to do where that oak tree is) and now I'm working on the back and then I still have the whole interior to do.
I was inspired by this house:
But I've changed some things and here's what I have so far:
Your WIP is looking very nice! @vethesims The exterior design is very nice! Very nice roofing! The yellow flower box windows look nice, and the flowers bed near the front porch is very pretty!
I hope that you enjoy working on the interior.
Wanted to share a few photos from my WIP - It's a Hampton's inspired lot. Any thoughts/suggestions are greatly appreciated. It's all a shell right now and I hope to start moving into arranging the interior soon!

Your WIP is looking very nice! @commeuneplume The layout and design of the exterior looks so very nice! The roofing looks so nice! The texture of the exterior looks nice and the type of and placement of the windows in the build is very nice. The circle windows in the roofing areas gives a great look to the build. The plant hedging looks nice how you have placed it along the front edges of the home. The chimneys are nice touches in the build. Very nice side garden sitting alcove! Sims will enjoy sitting at the umbrella covered tables enjoying the nice sight of the water fountain and the sunshine. It is nice how you have a hedge arch entrance to the alcove.The long pool looks great! Sims will enjoy swimming in it. The pool house is very nice!
The WIP is looking great! I hope that your work on the interiors goes well
@commeuneplume Thank you, I want to watch it again too hehe. Your WIP is looking good so far! Some suggestions: its inspired by a wealthy place so don't forget to try a taller wall height. The extra height and headroom would give it a more luxurious vibe. You can also use some nice columns to break up the walls and add nice details. Rich homes tend to have a hefty and detailed look rather than large unbroken walls. You could probably just add the columns to the first floor. Another tip would be to raise it onto a foundation and add a nice set of stairs up to the entrance. Also, don't forget the roof trims, they add a lot to a roof! Good luck on it!
Thanks a lot @rosemow, @pronterus, @commeuneplume! Now that I'm done with my build for the Under Renovation Challenge I'm back working on this house and I'm hoping to finish it today or tomorrow!
@commeuneplume Your Hampton's inspired lot is looking great! Love the design!
Hello everyone! I'm so sorry to take you so long! I was kinda lazy to visit every thread. I have some catching up to do!
@SpecterCody Your version of Spirited Away Bathhouse WIP looks very gorgeous!
I like your architecture, it reflects from the building very well! I like on how you did with the structure! Awesome roofing work too! Your landscaping is very beautiful too!
I'm looking forward to seeing the finished build!
@vethesims Welcome to my WIP app thread! Your WIP is looking very beautiful!
I like your architecture, very reflective from the inspiration very well and added your own touches! Love that brickish feel and very awesome roofing work too! I also like your customized awning. Your landscaping is very beautiful! Beautiful garden out front and it's great that you added a driveway!
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished build!
@commeuneplume Welcome to my WIP app thread! Your WIP is looking wonderful!
I like your architecture, it really tackles the Hampton theme of this build! I also love some rustic feel and awesome roofing work too! Your landscaping is very beautiful! Lovely gardens out front and your back area is very fabulous! Love the pool and the shed with a pergola!
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished build!
Thank you everyone for sharing in my WIP app thread! I already updated my list post.
@SpecterCody Aww I need that Spirited away house in my other save!! You had me stare at it with my mouth open I already have there Howl's moving castle and Ponyo's house. Spirited Away was the first Ghibli movie I saw.
@luimistelija I'm glad you like it It might be a slow process finding a proper balance between accuracy and looks. I just know the interior will have to be pretty different than the movie but I'll give it a shot.
@SpecterCody I took your advice on the foundation, wall height and roof trim. WORLD of difference! Once i get a little farther a long i'll post another update. How's the SA house coming along?
@commeuneplume thanks for asking! I haven't been able to play that much this past few weeks, so it's taking me more time than usual. But I've completely finished the exterior and now I'm working on the interior... I think I'll be done in a couple of days!
@commeuneplume I'm glad it helped! Hope to see it soon I'll be finishing the bath house at a slow pace because its a tedious recreation. The interior is going to be murder I know it, hehe.
