Chateau Grande - Work in Progress

Neashaleigh

Sul Sul!

So I'm currently working on my biggest single house build yet... a huge mansion. This thing will feature everything the game has to offer and is likely to take me forever to build. I'm not using any custom content or mods to build it, but I do have all the packs and kits. I'm wanting to showcase each part as I do them as a progress thread because... why not? And I'm up for suggestions and ideas too.

This last picture is what I started with for the bare bones of the build and since then I've done quite a lot which I'll post pics in the next post of what I've done so far, but I have a long ways to go yet and I'm taking my time.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on it

Your Chateau WIP is looking lovely! Very grand exterior design! The windows are very nice. The entrance area with double steps and bridge path is very nice! The pond and waterfall is very pretty! The flowers and plants are lovely on the edges. Very beautiful dining room! The long dining table and elegant seating is lovely and pretty pink patterned walls. Very lovely platformed music area.

Thanks @rosemow

It looks great--it's very pretty and huge. Do you have a plan for who is going to live there?

Neashaleigh

Thanks @haneul . I imagine a very wealthy celebrity living there... I have in mind someone who is quite lonely and wants to find love and has always thought money could buy happiness, but has only bought her loneliness.

Wow, so only one person in that big house? That does sound extremely lonely (and a little scary) - will the celebrity at least have a gardener, maid, and a butler coming around in addition to the mail person/Eco inspectors?

Neashaleigh

Yes, she has a butler and gardener and maid who come and help around the home, but she is incredibly lonely, despite hosting balls and parties. She hopes that one day she will find love. She is still young but in her youth she dreamed that her fame and the fortune left by her late parents, she would be able to buy love and happiness, only to discover that her "friends" were shallow and only cared for her money and liked her for the grand balls she put on.

This looks absolutely amazing!! I can tell this must have taken a while, there's so much detail in it. I love the platform area with the piano, I can't wait to see how it progresses. ^.^

The house boasts practically everything the game has to offer, including a couple of surprises.

rosemow

The home is so very beautiful! It is so very detailed! The exterior design is very lovely and very grand! The outdoors areas are very pretty! The interior furnishings, and the design and layout of each room is very lovely! Very pretty wedding area! The home cinema is very great! It is great there is a bowling area, and the sauna will be very relaxing for sims. The coffin room is great for vampires!

What an amazing build! 😊😎. Wow. It has a Beverly Hills mansion vibe. I love the in house cinema and bowling alley!

Will you be putting it on the gallery?
