Hi everyone,
So, it took me a great while to finally collect enough courage to start a showcase thread.
I've been building for a year now and I must say I truly enjoy it. Before this I just build a simple house without any details and would be done with them in a couple of hours.
I always envied the people who created the most detailed houses and surrounding it with a gorgeous garden. After spending hours and hours of watching tutorials on youtube and reading courses on this forum I decided to really start building. I like to change styles and try something else to keep challenging myself.
I don't use any custom content (any more) but I do own the majority of the expansion packs and stuff packs. Besides that I am an avid shopper in the store.
I hope you enjoy my homes and if you have any feedback please post a comment. I'd really like to improve and getting better in creating houses.
Please do not re upload any of my houses as your own, thank you.
Minke

This is the first time I tried to put an effort in my house, it's still a bit basic but it has more details then my shoe boxes I've build before this one.
So I thought why not build an Asian house, you can find it on the exchange.
A couple of pictures to give an idea.

I've got more houses already finished and uploaded in my studio but for now I didn't want to spam this thread with too much in one time.
Still to come;
A cottage
A light house
An industrial loft
A forest lodge
At the moment I am trying to build my first Victorian, but it's making me pull all of my hair out. But we'll see how it turns out. I may post some work in progress pictures in here later on to receive some feedback.
Thanks again and feel free to leave a comment!

Love Mediterraanse Villa especially, it has such a beautiful pond and elegant shaped bridge! Interiors are lovely too. Left you a rec!
Thank you both for the positive comments. I was pretty anxious to create a showcase thread but you're all so nice!
Still trying different styles to see what fits best for me, I still feel like a noob in building to be honest. I'll keep trying and improving over time.
Thanks again!
Minke
Rec'd all! So glad to see your showcase thread! Good for you!
(hugs) T
You mentioned it to me some time ago but I was just to busy in real life to spend time playing and building in the sims. Now things have calmed down again so I thought why not create a thread as well and see what others think.
I really feel like a noob now, but you know... I really have no clue what Tiffany blue is lol. I had to google it! Glad you like it.
As soon as I hit the second page I will add the other houses that are already in my studio. I don't want to overload the pages with too much pictures (I already think it's a bit much lol).
*continues with the Victorian that's a real pain*

Thank you so much, and here I was nervous about creating a thread and what people would think. Now I'm thinking why was I nervous?! No need!
@ Rose, thanks for the encouragement! I gave up for now, maybe I'll give it a go again tomorrow. Stuck on interior and again patterns and colors! Need to do some more googling to match it with the style/theme.
@ Yanti, thank you! And yes, these are my first uploads. Never uploaded before, thought it wasn't good enough so hence why I stepped in halfway. I must say I always admire your builds! I've got a fair few of them in my game they're gorgeous.
@ Sara, yes I'm Dutch so that's my second native language (I live in the northern part ) But I'll be moving to New Zealand in a couple of weeks.
To brush up on my English I joined the English community ^^
Thanks for your rec's I appreciate it!
See you soon with more houses...

As always I do a lot of searching on google and looking at pictures. I do spend an average of 5 days on the exterior and another 3 to 4 on interior and garden. I start building, demolish and rebuild. Saving, coming back later, make changes or just start over again.
My first attempt in making a cottage. I must say I still really like this build and style, it's really cozy and country. For now I want to try out different things but a cottage country style I really like. But maybe there is something else I haven't discovered yet which will make me change my mind.
With no further delay I present you Primrose Cottage! You can download it on the exchange.
It is a nice home!

Btw, the floral pattern is base game. Did not come up with that one myself but I felt it really suited the house in a good way.
*off to the game again to continue building*

There are a couple of houses still to come, three in total to be exact. And then I can move on to my work in project. Maybe I'll post another house on this page and then continue again on page 3. We'll see how things go.
I took quite a lot of time off from building so I kind of need to re learn and getting the hang of it a bit. Come to think of it, I should've started with something easier instead of a Victorian but oh well. It's a lot of fun!

For now I'll continue building even though it's only on the weekends. Wish I had more time but something called 'work' is intervening. Too bad!
Hope to see you soon with a new house on the exchange, for now you have to do with 'my golden oldies'.
Take care!

An industrial loft suited for one or two sims, build at the top two floors of this building. It is set up as an apartment building and when I play tested it my sim had neighbors indeed.
