Hiiiiiiiiiii everyone!!! Thank you all for the mentions, I've tried to read them all but I'm sure I've missed some. I've missed you all and this challenge so much. I'm on my laptop for the first time in months and about to update my game and mods (wish me luck and patience lol) I'm excited for Pets, and even if I can't get it right away I still wanna get back into my game and play. I'll probably just start rebuilding Windenburg since a fresh start feels like what I need. Anyway I'm so happy to see the thread is still alive and well.
@Heckstress17 - Glad to have you back! I can't wait to see you and Deb's founders in game!
So I decided I was going to build Mini-Me a house and it's not terrible but I am feeling a little unsure because I hate roofing so much. Some of it will change once we get the new patch that brings octagonal roof types. But here is what I have so far.
This was the inspiration, I just shrunk down the house a bit to work with the sims.
I'm skimming through the thread a bit to see what I've missed, then searching for floorplans so I can start building. I don't really remember how to build or decorate so I'm a bit scared lol let's hope it's like riding a bike.
@Rawla - I missed you too! I'm so happy to see you're still around!
So this is the final exterior result, I wont be adding too much to it until I get Pets so I can see what new items we get. Today and maybe tomorrow I will work on the main floor of the interior.
@Ojenn - Do you have a particular site you go to, to find floorplans/blueprints for builds? You've done so beautifully. Makes me want to try doing a floorplan again. Its been a long while since I've tried.
@OJenn - omg Jenn I am in love with what you've built! I spent last night building and bulldozing about 3 different houses. Building is definitely not easy, especially when it's a house with tricky roofs, but you're killin it! I can't wait to see the finished product.

I think I went through two different houses. And I think I might need to fix the house I built because the roof cuts into the second floor so bad Like I think I need to make it larger.

Ah, yeah the roof clipping into the 2nd story is a major problem I'm having. It's the worst because you get the exterior looking how you want it to, then go inside to decorate and it's a disaster. Roofs are the worst.
Hi everyone! So happy to see this thread with new life! I spent the day building too. Obviously it will move to a different lot...but I was talking with @Ojenn about HGTV's Urban Oasis house, so I built one loosely based on it There were a few changes that needed to be made.
@Debjameswhite - Oh my gosh it turned out so good! I was anxious to see your build after we talked yesterday. How long did it take you to build everything?
@Ojenn I started it this morning when I gout up at stupid 6am thank you day light savings...and I finished just before I left for my brother's at 2pm. So that's about 8 hours! haha I did take some breaks though.
@debjameswhite - Ah! You built the HGTV dream home! I just saw it on a commercial the other day. You did a great job. I can completely sympathize with the 8 hours it took you to build it. I have no idea how anyone can do a speed build. I really love the covered porch. The room with the pink curtains is really nicely decorated too. My fav part of the house is how you did the curtains and windows in the living room. I think it's pretty funny you said you're adding your pics laboriously from imgur. That's how I always do mine. Does using puush really make it that much easier? Rayen looks so beautiful in her formal wear! Is that dress from Luxury stuff? Like you said before, it's nice to see the members of the Wolfe family alive and well. Which reminds me, did Greysen ever die? If he did I missed it.
@Rawla - I'm excited to see what you build. After discovering those floorplan sites my life became a whole lot easier lol
I'm not a very good builder to begin with. Decorating is even harder. But those floorplans, I peeked at today are fascinating. I haven't been on Sims4 today. Maybe tomorrow I can work on one.
I'm so relieved to say that I'm 2 rooms away from being done with my Windenburg/Brindleton Bay house! So I expect to post a housetour sometime tomorrow.

That is so exciting! I still have a ways to go lol!
@Rawla - Glad you found the sites helpful. For decorating I would look up images of what you think you might want and try to recreate it in the sims. Like @debjameswhite did with her house.
@Heckstress17 Thank you for liking my house I always love copying the dream houses and urban oasis houses. Yes, Rayen's dress is from Luxury Party. I might not know the imgar tricks...and I probably don't know all the tricks for push either. In push though I "push" them from the folder and it puts a link in my clip board that I can paste right away. No Greysen and Lawrence never died. Once I tried to switch to normal lifespan and Greyen and Lawrence both died so I quit without saving and switched back. I was planning to switch again but I just hadn't gotten there yet. Now I don't have to
I can't wait to see your new house!!
@Rawla I always use examples I find on the internet to try and decorate like @Ojenn says. After my blue house, I was really wishing sims had a big round table! Things can never be exact, but they can be close and eventually you'll start wanting to throw in your own things. I love building the houses but I tend to get bored when I start decorating but I love when it looks good.
I was so excited! David and Rayen got invited out and Greysen and Sasha showed up and the Logan and Kenzie showed up and they were all making friends and things were going great and then Logan hit on Sasha. I had a whole lot of nope and quit. If something like that happens with the family I'm actually playing I'll go with it, but not any of my past founders/heirs. No no no!!! <starts over> hehe

@debjameswhite - I'm really happy to be back
@OJenn - The house is coming along really nicely! I love the inspiration house, and I actually think you're really nailing the roof.
@OJenn - You've done amazing. I'm impressed.

Oooh thanks so much for the links! I'll definitely check them out.
Urban Oasis House
Grrr my push account isn't working so I'm laborously adding them from imgur
OK...here is the front of the house
This is the back of the house with a lovely view of the "screened porch"
Close up of the porch
Here is the Master Bedroom...it's a little on the small side but it's OK
The Master Bath is so small I had to take the picture like this for you to be able to see.
This is the Guest Bath
This is the Guest Room

Prelude B
So before I built my little house for Matias and Naomi…
David invited Rayen out to dinner. They were long gone when we got our restaurants so it was fun to let them have this experience!
They were very affectionate and I thought David was going to propose but I got distracted…so they were really miserable and I sent them home.
Rayen really wanted to check on her garden when she got home. I think we need to discuss her attire when gardening.
They’re becoming very friendly with the Wolfe family. They have a lot in common.
So I kept them in one of the original Willow Creek houses but I’m slowly remodeling to make the rooms look similar to how they did in their home.
This is their new master bedroom before redecorating.
This is how it looks after.
