Building houses from photos that catch your eye!

How many of you have done this in the Sims?
Some of you would have seen that I made an attempt at a "classicism" style house recently from an Architectural Digest article - I also struggled with it and didn't do a particularly great end job, in my own opinion
, but it was a fun project, and no doubt I will do it again next time something catches my eye.
I do have to say that the house in this article (link below), which is not far from where I live, regularly catches my eye, especially with its extraordinary location and view. But when I actually saw the article, that was the first time I got the little Sims lightbulb go on in my head. I may give this a go, next. If anyone else is interested in giving it a go also, I'd love to see your efforts!

I'm probably not going to consider building this one just at the moment, but maybe someone should - too fascinating, especially at that age.

+ if i see some nice houses in tv shows i watch i might do something similar in game
but recently my obsession has been hunting for houses in game paintings
cause i did paranormal stuff painting inspired house recently and it turned out to be so nice and I'm hoping there is more epic houses to be discovered
but yeah i usually just do exteriors cause the sizing can be wonky and make layouts pure torture

I guess the beauty of the big white one I've posted above is that if I'm really desperate for detail, I can literally drive by it and take a good look close up.
Usually I look for a specific style and collect images from different buildings. This way I can combine elements that I like and create a unique looking build. They’re my Franken Builds and it’s my most common way of building.
That's fantastic! Wish I could see the inside of the Port Noarlunga house, but never mind. I'll do what I can of the exterior. I drive to the area fairly regularly anyway, as there is a good restaurant stretch there, too.
Our richest history obviously is the indigenous history, e.g. rock paintings that are tens of thousands of years old. I can't quite build those in the Sims though.

Okay well I've already thrown in the towel on this one.
It took me less than half an hour to have a bit of a tantrum with this. I've lost interest now!
And this is how the build turned out, quite happy about it:
The likeness you've created is very impressive.
