Sooooo.. testing the new waters we call The Sims 4.
The first time I tried to build something, I was handicapped by the "new features". Sooo clueless I got frustrated lol. But after some practice I got the hang off it. But I'm still annoyed by the very, very dark interior lighting. It's pitch black it hurt me eyes
. That is why I'm having difficulties furnishing my builds. So much for destroying the "creative momentum".
Anyway, here is my current project. A work-in-progress. I'm actually done with the shell, just the interiors and landscaping.
[the lot was the property of the Mims household. I like the option that you can buldoze the entire lot while on build mode.]
One thing I like was the new fountain splurty-thingies.. expecially the dancing fountains... so fun to watch I abused using them in the build.. I always go overboard on the fountains:
[if I know how to make a gif, I'll make one for that!]
Ooohh.. and I really like this piece, I think it's only a world item, soo sad.
You might ask on why this french baroque monstrosity in the middle of a second empire neighborhood. Well it'll be more awkward if I plopped it in the middle of Oasis Springs
. Actually I was just messing with the tools, I'm realy planning a Second-empire mansion, the current Mims mansion was already close to that style but its meh. So i pulled here and there... one thing led to the other and now i'm making a château .

I tend to put up a lot of bright ceiling lights while I'm building and then remove some of them later when I get more ambient lighting in. But I agree with you that Maxis needs to do something about interior lights. I wish we had those little ceiling pot lights like we had in TS3, and also a way to make them invisible.
All the sims err'day
The facade was inspired by Château de Maisons-Laffitte. I tried making an exact replica but it was too small so I extended the building at the back and added two towers. Now I'm gonna have some hard time creating a believable french formal garden where all the in-game plants are a bit "tropical"
Btw, does anyone know if plants planted by a gardener will be included if I shared the lot in the gallery? I would love to have an orangery at the back, filled with harvestable apple trees and herbs.
@yanti86: I love the new roof tools! I like how the eaves will not show if you put something in front of it.
And thanks guys! I'll try to make the interiors match the spectacle of the exterior ~oni is bad at Interior Design~
Btw, the build might take longer than I expected, due to incessant crashes. All thanks to my 7 year-old 3 gigged pc.

Almost there .... well not quite.. does anyone here knows how to save a room? These fountain segments [image below] took me quite a deal of patience to make, and I still need to make 6 of those They do qualify as a room although I'm too lost I don't know how to.
Have I mentioned how I hate the height of the hedges? They are too high you can't even see the flowers inside

Alumont House

There is a small courtyard inside, another excuse to sneak-in a fountain. Maybe I should call it Chateau de Fontaine
Another sneak=peak

Thanks!

It is a very nice home, indoors and outside and the exterior!
