Devin is an only child; it was just him and his Da growing up. With his father being a teacher they spent their summers and holidays at his Grandma’s cabin. Devin loved being outside fishing and swimming, but his favorite time was the evenings quietly reading by the fire before bed. (One of Da’s rules) His grandma was the best cook ever and Devin enjoyed helping her in the kitchen. Every year his cooking got better and grandma used to laugh and say that one day he would make a fine husband. Grandma grew all her own fruits and veggies so Devin naturally learned the rewards for being kind to mother earth. Devin became a teacher not just because his Da was but because he liked children and knew that someday he would have a large family. Now that Devin is on his own he’s decided to find a cabin down the road from Grandma’s so he could still visit her and Da and do some entertaining of his own.
Devin is hoping this will be the summer he finds that certain someone and one day pass on all he has learned to his children.
Devin is quite pleased with the cabin he found. It’s within walking distance of his Grandma’s cabin, there’s room for a small kitchen garden in back, and it has a small enclosed back porch with plenty of windows to make it perfect for a grilling porch and a washer. The kitchen is small but it’s all he needs to cook for small get together with friends and family. There’s a screened porch overlooking the pond with room enough for a small table for romantic dinners. It has one bedroom and bath downstairs but there’s a loft bedroom large enough to put a couple of bunk beds for when his friends stay for a visit, they will even have their own bath. He can see it already. Fishing and horseshoes during the summer and Ice skating and roasting marshmallows around the fire pit during the winter! It’ll be perfect for Holidays and summer break with friends and when he has his own family!

@romagi1 , great cabin, it looks so big compared to mine, lol. I love the little screened in porch sitting over the pond and good idea on the grilling porch. And Devin is a hottie!
It's so weird, working in the build during the winter season left me with this feeling like it should be snowing outside! Like, I'd get up from the computer and glance outside and it was odd not to see snow.
Yesterday I took a break from Sims to do some real decorating! Have a lovely fir/cedar/holly garland draped over the arch between my living and dining room, with a string of white lights and some small decorations. Really gets one in the mood
@creativemetaphor It snowed here a little bit yesterday and today, but not nearly enough to give off that "Christmasy" vibe. Hopefully we both get some snow soon!
EDIT: I've got lake effect snow predicted for tonight and all day tomorrow!!! Want me to send some your way?
Oh my goodness! Amazing builds everyone! The cabins and the sims are perfect! I'm still trying to work on depreciation. I don't know how you guys do it. It seems like it's taking forever. I keep finding things that are appreciating so I have to take them out.
I haven't been around since Sunday because of a nasty stomach virus. I ended up taking 2 days off of work because of it. I couldn't even get out of bed on Monday.
Depreciation isn't magic. After a week, it's about as low as it gets. One thing I didn't mention before is thart placing a sim who has maxed handiness on your lot before you start building is the most help as that sim gets depreciation prices right away.
Also, if a Sim is in the Home Designer career...you'll straight away get the lowest price for objects; however, this one is tricky because art appreciates A LOT!
Hey everyone! I hope you all have a fantastic weekend! Hopefully y'all will get some build time in!
Anyway, I probably won't be on much as I work 3rd shift all weekend but I wanted to give you guys some wintery feels. I took this picture the other day when I got home from work.
(There's a ton more snow by now)
That's all for now... I can't wait to see everyone else's builds! (I promise that when I'm not in "zombie mode" this weekend, I'll like and rec everyone's builds!)

@snowdove58, Love your sims name! Are you trying to tear me up with his story???!?!? Pretty snazzy when he's all dressed up!
WOW, going smaller really gets you lots of decor and you had more to spend! LOL Love the french doors into the bedroom and drat that's a great pattern to use for the bedcover in a cabin!
Lovely cabin @snowdove58 - I love those big windows and the balcony (and of course the garden and fruit trees!) I love the name of your sim. Is that his favorite color by chance? Nice job!

Hi @romagi1 , the handsome Devin and his fabulous cabin are absolutely stunning!! ... Big rec for both
Well, I'm a loner myself and I only really emerge from my room to forage for food... so we could both be loners, together.
@romagi1 Your cabin is absolutely gorgeous! I love the screened-in porch. Also, Devin is quite the hunk
