Thomas is a lovely elder for the challenge @luckyheather It is great that he enjoys trainspotting. It is very nice the background details that you wrote about him. His outfits are very nice.
The Old Signal Box is a very nice train themed home for him to enjoy living in! It is great that it is the renovated old signal box building! Very nice exterior design, wood and stone texture, and brown color. Very great outdoors areas! Very creatively great train you have created! It looks very great! You have designed it very well! Very nice pool for him and hid grandkids to swim in, wood dollhouse for them to play with, wading pool, card games table, and very nice outdoors dining, picnic hamper and bbq patio to enjoy cooking and dining outside in the air and watch for trains. Sims will enjoy sitting around the campfire, as well as using the recycler. Very lovely train themed furnishing of the interior! The train spotters shed is great!
I have posted more about your home on your showcase thread.
Recently on the same plot - as the Luckyheather House * The Old Signal Box *, I built a restaurant.
There is also a waiting room for passengers and ticket offices in this building.
Here is my Railway Restaurant:
Railway Restaurant is a lovely restaurant! @Danuta720 Very nice exterior design, wall textures, windows, trees beds and great roofing! The train station wall clock is a nice touch. Very nice indoors and roof covered outdoors patio dining tables areas. Very nice bar counter area for Sims to enjoy sitting on the stools having a drink from the bar. Very nice sofa sitting area to enjoy resting and reading books. Sims will have fun playing foosball.
It is a very lovely restaurant to enjoy dining at
Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. This house I actually built around the end of July and finished in early August. So, it took me about two weeks to finish. It's my biggest build to date. 5 BR 6 BA NOCC
Desire Lake Luxury Home
NOCC in this home. Must have moveobjects on enabled before placing. I have all the packs and used probably nearly all of them. The main ones that you would need to have the house look like it does is: EC, GT, IL, SPA, SEA, OR (major because of the trees), CD, JA, GF, TL, VTG, CL. It’s well over 600k and on a 64×64 lot.
This is an update to an older build of mine. I just changed some windows and roofing, but it made a huge difference. Between all the kind people here and on reddit my building is getting better...at least I like to think so, lol. Modern Castle
Several TS4 furniture description tell the tale of Princess Cordelia. A royal princess who became enamored by the sea and three of its most dashing pirate captains. Prior to her escape from the Great Sloth Invasion, it is said that she lived on a grand cat-infested seaside palace where she spent most of her free time. This is Château de Thebe, a semi-accurate 18th-century French neoclassical royal residence in Cavalier Cove!
I built this chateau for the Princess Cordelia household which Maxis made and uploaded to the Gallery. This is designed such that it would be as historically accurate as the game allows. But mostly, so that it would ring true with all of the in-game descriptions of her home. However, since the game has its limitations and also I wouldn’t like my work to be in vain if Maxis ever releases her official home let’s just pretend it’s her summer house instead of her palace!
Here’s a little rant about my build experience.
I almost scrapped this. This was honestly built on a whim (just as real Builder players do lol) since I wanted to see how architecturally and historically accurate I can make a chateau without CC. But halfway into the build, I found out it had a total of 43 “rooms” on top of landscaping and I almost fell out of my gaming chair. Lol firstly, I may be an IRL architect but I absolutely do not play the game to build stuff. For the longest time, I just downloaded houses off Tumblr and the Gallery and sometimes I don’t even change the interiors for my Sims. Secondly, on the rare occassion that I built, they were all renovation works that were necessary for my game to move forward (my Sim needed a bedroom for his teenage son) and are all done in the modern/contemporary style. So on a friend’s recommendation, I changed my approach to the build. And I did it! And it oOoNLy took me about 72 hours straight! Lol send help.
And here’re the interiors. They may look a little different since I have a lighting mod in my game. Also candlelit interiors look really bad.
The entry vestibule doubles as the showcase. I put in a collection of items that I think would embody Princess Cordelia’s traits and personality.
It’s a shame that all of the mounted fish make her sad (from her Child of the Ocean trait). Also a bit contradictory since the descriptions say that she loves seafood.
This is the formal dining room. The door on the left leads to the piano room.
The princess has graced us with her presence and music!
And the other door leads to the scullery and kitchen.
An access door from the kitchen leads into the Tea Room.
Which can also be accessed from the Grand Salon from the entry vestibule.
The tall eco-lifestyle door leads directly to the manicured gardens. And the door to its right leads to the Salon Selvadoradaine.
In my head, the King, Cordelia’s parent, loved adventure and exotic culture (and thus she took after him). So he dedicated this salon to show off things he had collected from his trades with a distant country—Selvadorada.
It serves as the anteroom for the master’s chambers. The bed here is gothic in style (different from the entire house) but rococo in color. Let’s just say they didn’t want to part with their old furniture just yet so they gave it a fresh new look.
The cabinet (in this case a private library) is also decorated in the same scheme. It also leads to a private bathroom (not shown).
The main floor can be accessed by scaling the grand staircase.
View of the landing.
Back then galleries/hallways were always painted a muted grey to shield viewer eyes from the horrors color explosion behind the doors.
To the right is the common bathroom.
And then across from it, is…
Capt. Rodrigo de Pablo’s bedroom. He is clumsy, so I made him accidentally break some of his furniture . He is also paranoid which is why he has boarded up some windows and prefers a “stark” white room where he can see everything.
Princess Cordelia’s room is decorated in shades of blue to remind her of the ocean she loves (Girl, the chateau is literally by the sea. You can just walk there!).
She also has her own atelier. I put in a woodworking table in there too.
Her en suite is also in the same periwinkle color. Let’s pretend that it’s the house colors now.
The chateau’s library.
Capt. Long John Buttercup’s boudoir dudoir serves as the chateau’s game room. They play cards and drink juice for merriment because the internet hasn’t been invented yet.
I think his bedroom turned out very romantic. Really shows his nature.
Across the hallway is Capt. Chaz McFreeling’s bedroom, which ended being my favorite. I made sure to put lots of mirrors to show his vain personality. I hope it’s not too gauche. It is also linked to biggest bathroom I have ever seen.
Which I bet Capt. Long John never ever used.
Up the attic, we have the servant’s quarters for Bob the Butler and Matilda the Chef. The change in interiors is drastic. But I gave them wallpaper for their bedrooms because Princess Cordelia cares for them.
Looking very much like That 70’s Show
On the grounds, we have the orangerie (or lemonerie )
And the now much more French-looking potagerie garden beside it.
Across the property, there are stables for horses—for you know, when we actually get them...
That’s pretty much all from me right now, i hope to never touch another historical TS4 Build again (but I still have that Art Nouveau shell in hindsight.) Thanks y’all! Stay safe and happy Simming!
