It is great that you have started a new showcase thread for your builds It will be very nice seeing the builds that you design, build and furnish. The 2 Gyms and 2 Beach houses are very nice! Very nice exterior design of the buildings! The layout and furnishing of the interiors look very nice! The type and placement of the windows in each of the builds is very nice! The beach houses are very nice light filled homes for sims to live in and enjoy the sunshine coming in through the windows whilst indoors.They will have very nice views of the outdoors. Sims will enjoy doing the many enjoyable activities at the gyms, to help their fitness levels and physical /mental health .
My main Parenthood builds -- I love this aesthetic!
Contemporary Family Farm
This is my "compound" -- I found that I wasn't leaving the house as much with parenthood, so I brought all of the activities to me (haha). Plus, I liked the idea of inviting extended family over and entertaining in the backyard while the kids played. I also wanted an in-law's quarters for when the first generation aged up to elder, and threw in a little workshop/shed too that is (for now) used for leveling handiness, but eventually can become an additional bedroom.
(future laundry room / butler's quarters!)
Modern Family Farmhouse
Almost the same exterior as above, but a smaller lot and slightly different layout.
Black & White Family home
(kid's bedroom is a slightly different version than the gallery)
I really like the yard and general layout of your contemporary family farm. It's true that with parenthood we tend to stay home a lot more. So many things to do with the kids!
Cozy Bungalow
Cute space for a small family with a daylight basement
Quaint Colonial
For a bi-generational family. I loved the idea of this as a grandparent's home, so I have a single mother living with her parents there now.
I've wanted to build a park for ages, and finally got around to it. I couldn't settle on one single idea for the use of space, so I created a bunch of "plugins" that are saved as "rooms" that can be swapped in and out of a space on the front of the lot, which allows you to change things up depending on what you want your sims to do.
I felt like teens didn't really have any proper designated hangouts, so I made a kind of "catch all" with a bit of everything: PC Cafe, Coffee bar, Arcade, Lounge/Music/Dance space, Murals/Artwork, and a rooftop basketball court. Plenty of spots to meet other teens, hang out, and break curfew.
Part of my project to create my own version of each lot type. I wanted a classed-up lounge perfect for date nights, meeting new sims, or simply relaxing from the craziness of full-family play.
Just a small nightclub. I have two versions of this lot, one is slightly redesigned to fit on a smaller, 20x20 lot (to make the most of Magnolia Promenade).
Another lot with two versions, the second lot simply being smaller and without the second floor. Layout features a main room with bar, arcade games, and the large karaoke machine. Two small private karaoke rooms attached, and a second floor overlooking the main room with another karaoke machine.
I wanted my own versions of each lot type, but I also wanted a museum that would fit on a smaller lot while still fitting in thematically with the style of my other venues.
(Note: the exterior floor tiles are normal in the gallery lot, it's just that the terrain is somehow uneven in my game on this particular lot, so I leveled what I could and spray painted the rest )
My lots for various stages in the Off the Grid challenges. Basically, you can't have anything other than candles/fire pits/lanterns, and for facilities you have to level up handiness and make your own (using a get together bush in the meantime). Fortunately, someone already has mods/cc for the waterpump and solar panels/wind turbines, so you can really get the whole experience.
These aren't particularly stylish or aesthetically stunning, but they make for some really fun (and challenging) gameplay!
Another venue in my quest to complete them all. I love the skye fitness lot, but I already have so many other gyms that I wanted to make something that could take advantage of the view while still being useful. Considering only penthouses have pools in San Myshuno, this seemed like the best replacement
Named for one of the volcanoes that makes up the Hawaiian islands, this home is spacious, luxurious, and embraces Sulani culture. With amazing ocean views and plenty of indoor/outdoor living space, it's the perfect addition to Sulani's biggest waterfront lot.
Side Note: I have too much to catch up on that I'm not editing the images.. so they'll all be in their original glory.
I wanted to revamp Granite Falls after installing Coolspear's mod that allows vacation worlds to become residential (YAY). So I built two new venues and a cabin. I retrofitted some of the existing cabins and don't think the changes were enough to justify uploading them.
