Kessie's Creations- New Year, New Content?

Kesminlix

Hey guys! So this was a looooooong time coming but I finally decided to share some of my builds and (possibly) sims with you guys! I honestly feel that I am not very good at building or creating sims, but I figured I'd share none the less.

Just a fair warning, I am custom content addicted. (But the first step is admitting you have a problem, right?) So if CC is not your thing, feel free to move right along.... won't bother me much

Anyway, here is my first WIP. It's a beach house in Sunlit Tides. Following this floor plan. I was building it for this month's Build-n-Share challenge but I'm already over budget... oh, well. I'll still build it anyway and share it here with you guys! Enjoy! (I promise that I'll have more pictures soon!)

Looks fabulous! Can't wait to see the rest of it!
Don't you just love those BuildnShare budgets?!

The Beach House WIP is looking very nice! The lighthouse tower looks great! You are reflecting the inspiration home so well!

Thanks @aricarai and @rosemow for your kind comments!

So, do you ever start building a house, go to bed, and then wake up and decide to completely change it? Yep. That happened.

I felt that the original house did not have enough living space and/or bedrooms for me (I LOVE playing with big families) so I added a bit more square footage. Plus, I figured since my sims were in the tropics they would enjoy having some outdoor living space as well. Thus....

TADA! A walkout basement!










I still have a lot to do on the house... I actually did start on the interior a bit.

To tide you over (get it? tide... Sunlit Tides I'll stop now... ) I'll leave you with my sim's adorable chocolate lab puppy, Hershey.



(I didn't make Hershey... You can find him here.)

The walkout basement looks great! It is a great idea to have this in your build.
Hershey is very cute!

Looks like your house is coming along great! Interested to see the finished product. Puppy looks cute, too!

Pretty, but the tower is so white. Why there are not windows on the blue face ?

Your WIP is coming along just beautifully. Looking forward to seeing more pics. Darling puppy

I hadn't gotten around to putting all the windows up at the time of the pictures. That's why

Thank you everyone for your kind comments! Sorry for not posting an update in awhile, life got really busy there for a few weeks and every free moment I had was spent on catching up on sleep!

Anyway, good news and bad news. Bad news is that I accidentally deleted the save in which I was building this house! Good news is that I am planning on rebuilding it AND I already have another house built (I just need to furnish it). I will be uploading both houses here soon so stay tuned!

rosemow

Hello
I am sorry to hear that you accidentally deleted the save that the build was in I hope that the rebuilding of the build goes well

Kesminlix

Hi everybody! I know that it's been a loooooonnnnnngg time since I've posted here but real life has kept me busy. Between school, work, and a volunteer opportunity (which is basically a dream come true!) I have not had much time to simply sit around and build. My schedule hasn't changed much, and will actually get much busier in the coming months... (I work in retail and the holidays are right around the corner) but I was suddenly struck with inspiration!

I probably won't have much to show you until this weekend, but I'll leave you with what has inspired me... maybe you can figure out what's coming?






The Song that Inspired Me

rosemow

Hello
The Autumn leaves are very colourfully pretty! I will look forward to seeing your build!

Kesminlix

Hey guys! I meant to get some pictures out to you earlier but I had a crazy weekend. I work in a retail store and we've officially entered the holiday shopping season so I've been really busy!! And then my game decided to not cooperate with me and crash when I was rotating the camera (I had no cc installed at this point because I had to create a clean game folder)

Anyway, here's some WIP shots. There's nothing special to them. There's no paint or anything (and ignore the background trees... I'm building in a world that was purposely made for building, but the final shots will be in the actual world that I'm putting the house in).







I should have some more shots for you soon, so stay tuned!

rosemow

Your exterior design of your WIP home is looking very nice! The dormers and front and back porches look great. I hope that your work on your build continues to go well

Kesminlix

Hi guys! First things first, Happy New Year! Hope 2018 brings some good things your way! As you can probably tell, I have the attention span of a gnat and cannot keep to one project for a long time. I am hoping that this year I'll be able to change that *fingers crossed*

Anyway, I wanted to share with you a little something that I have been working on. I originally started this as part of the last Build-n-Share but I cannot build within a budget to save my life so I didn't finish it in time. However, I decided to make it a home for my current household so hopefully I'll be able to stick to it long enough to finish

I'm super dooper proud of it so far so hopefully it turns out as I have envisioned it!
(I was actually working on this house when the clock hit midnight so I ended 2017 and started 2018 playing the Sims. Off to a great start!)

rosemow

Hello Happy New Year of 2018 to you!
Your WIP home is looking very nice! Very nice exterior of the home. The dormer is a nice touch and white fencing gives a very nice look to the home. Very nice roof covered front entryway! The flowers and plants look very nice either sides of the front porch with the rocks lining the edges.
I hope that your work on the build continues to progress well

Kesminlix

Thanks @rosemow ! I'm really excited about the landscaping since I never do that!

So far I have managed to stick to this house build for more than one building session, so that is already a minor success! #winning

Here's another exterior shot of the front of the house. If you look closely, you might be able to see my sims playing peek-a-boo.


And now for the room that I am EXTREMELY proud of.... the kitchen!! This room is basically 99% done and I absolutely love it. I love the outdated/rustic/family home vibe it has. And my favorite touch is the kids chalkboard... background on my sim family: single dad with three little princesses girls. (Pictures are in the spoiler)

Here's a shot of the hall closet that is outside of the kitchen




And finally, an entire kitchen overview!



I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think! I still consider myself a noob when it comes to building/decorating and any tips would be very much appreciated!

rosemow

The design and furnishing of the kitchen looks so very nice! The kids chalk board is a nice homely touch. Very nice windows eat in dining area! Sims will enjoy eating meals with sunshine coming in onto them through the windows. The black and white floor tiling addds a nice look to the room. The hanging apron, hanging pans and the knife set are homely touches.The design of the hall closet is creatively great!
Sims will enjoy cooking and dining in the kitchen
