Hi everyone! My name is Bill, and I'm stuck with the "hmsdrco2001" from the days of Sims 3 old when I just wanted to be anonymous and never envisioned being a part of the Sims community. I was inspired to build, create, and share by so many in the community, and I am continuously learning from and encouraged by wonderful creators here. I've made some really good friends along the way, too. In the Gallery, you can find me by my ID, hmsdrco2001. I'm also on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/bill.sim.54 and have a blog billsimnyc.blogspot.com.

    Ashford Hall

    This summer, I had the wonderful, life-changing privilege to attend Creators Camp at the EA Studios just outside San Francisco. It was amazing to play The Sims 4 for the first time and spend time with friends in this community--people like Ruthless_KK and Sara De Moor. It was also fantastic to be able to get to know members of The Sims 4 team and see firsthand their incredible enthusiasm translated into the game and this community. I will treasure those memories for a lifetime.

    At Creators Camp, I built my first house in The Sims 4. At first, I named it Hemlock Grove, but then I realized that was a TV show. So my OCD kicked in, and I renamed it Ashford Hall. It's in my Gallery along with a number of rooms from the house that still hold the original Hemlock Grove name. Here are some pictures.

    Sedona Pass

    My second build is a large Mediterranean style villa built for Oasis Springs in The Sims 4. It features seven bedrooms, five bathrooms, courtyard, patio, ballroom, art studio, play room, gym, and LOTS of seating. I've uploaded the lot itself and several of the rooms if you prefer just a particular room. No custom content. #hmsdrco2001 #sedonapass

    These are AMAZING builds! The craftsmanship that went into the design of these two lots is astounding. I've never seen anything like it before. Thank you so much for sharing and I can't wait to see what you cook up next!
  • BlackRoseBronwenBlackRoseBronwen Posts: 471 Member
    Wow, amazing job. I really love the fact you have an inner courtyard for the Mediterranean, not that that is the only thing to admire of course.
  • yanti68yanti68 Posts: 19,017 Member
    Hi Bill! :D You are such an inspiration! Each time I see your builds I feel like building more and more! :D Both your builds are fabulous but my favourite has to be the mediterrenean home! Love the interiors of both homes. Such perfect combination of colours and patterns. Already added to my favourites. <3

    Bill!

    Sedona Pass is awesome!

    And your Sim Maddox - I can have him right? :D
  • rosemowrosemow Posts: 163,522 Member
    Both Ashford Hall and Sedona Pass are so very, very nice! :) They are so very detailed and very nice! The exterior designs of them are so very great, and the interiors of them are very beautifully furnished! The outdoors areas of both homes are so very nice! The hedge fencing maze, flowers and water fountain area in the first home is very lovely! Sims will enjoy spending time both inside and outdoors at their home! Every room and area in both homes looks so nice! It looks very nice the wall patterns and textures that you have used in the rooms. Very nice colours of the rooms and the colour of the furnishings that look great. The type of and way you have placed the furnishings in each of the rooms looks so nice! You have used furnishings that look very nice together and make each room look so very special. Very nice design of and furnishing of the kitchens! The way you have placed the windows going up the wall next to the staircase in the second home looks very nice. The types of and way you have placed pictures on the walls of the rooms, which suit the type of the rooms and are also very nice for sims to see when in the rooms, looks very nice! There are so many great details and features in your homes! Sims will enjoy very much living in them! :)

    pruxoid: Thank you so much! I'm so flattered you checked out my lots and left such a nice comment.

    BlackRoseBronwen: Thank you! I loved building that courtyard. I built the rest of the house around that. I appreciate the message!

    yanti68: Yanti! Thank you so much! YOU are an inspiration to me. As a builder and as a friend and supporter to everyone here in the community. Big hugs.

    SimGuruHydra: OK, I have to confess. My heart skipped a beat or two or forty when I saw you comment. My first Hydra comment! And I didn't even use purple. *fans self* Thank you so much for checking out Sedona Pass and Maddox, too! Of course you can have him. I've been using him to try and unlock all of the romance rewards. Already got the date one, but the wedding ones are a beast! LOL.

    rosemow: You are always so, so kind with your super thoughtful and supportive comments. Not just to me, but to others here. I really appreciate that--the smiles you put on my face and on others' faces. Thank you!

    Coatney House is my new house built in The Sims 4. It's a modern cantilevered home suspended over water and lush gardens. There are three bedrooms, four bathrooms, and an open floor plan on the main floor. Other features include a gym, recreation room, art studio, and accommodations for kids. There is no custom content. You can find the lot under my Origin account, hmsdrco2001. Feedback is always welcome and very much appreciated. ‪#‎hmsdrco2001‬ ‪#‎coatneyhouse‬ #NoCC #modern

    Your first comment from me? LOL but you had to put up with my verbal comments in person!
    Anyhoo - the suspended design of Coatney House - :D<3 (I need one of those wide-eyed emoji) and...it's not purple! Kidding kidding :D
  • vcosleyvcosley Posts: 880 Member
    OMG ! Your homes are awesome. Your decorations are perfect. I'm still trying to get the hang of the new build mold in 4. I use to build a lot in Sims 3. In 4 I'm having a hard time with the decorations and colors. You did a fantastic job, keep the pictures coming. You inspire me.

    Happy simming

    Excellent work on your Coatney House! Love the exterior stone and the way you blended it in with the landscaping. The interiors are very well done too!

    All your builds look great, they are very well designed and landscaped, and they all have unique styles, I particular love your Coatney House modern build, the exterior design is very sleek and looks great, and the interior is very modern and stylish with great attention to detail, I love it :)
  • tdewdtdewd Posts: 927 Member
    Well, well, well. If it isn't hmsdrco2001! Or Bill, for short. Y'know, I can't remember if I ever told you this, but every time I read your screen name I instinctively read it as "HMS Draco" as if it was a British naval ship. Where I get the missing 'a' from I have no idea, but nonetheless my eyes always do it.

    Anyway, and I know I'm maybe a little bit late, but congrats on attending the Creator's Camp! That was one decision the head honchos definitely got right. And I see time wasn't wasted, because that is one fantastic home you built during your time there. With a name like Ashford Hall it evokes images of a large rectory, and God certainly had a hand in furnishing this, as I have rarely seen a house so sumptuous! I actually have your thread open in another window so I can browse through the photos as I type. There's so many of them and so much to see! :D I particularly like the maze in the garden. I remember once doing something similar with a house in TS1, though it was a spiral maze and you had to walk *all* the way around to reach the front door. My elderly witch Sim, Grandalf, set off a firework and it set alight to the maze, turning it quickly into the spiral maze of fiery death. A regrettable incident, indeed. Oh, and the poor maid. She spent days clearing all the ash.

    Back onto the topic at hand, however, I love your new modern too. I really like it, both in real life and in The Sims, when people construct modern builds with old materials, just like the good old fashioned stone you've used on the exterior. The level of detail you've gone into the furnishings as well is extraordinary. Are you a secret interior designer-come-architect?! If not you should be.

    Finally, onto Sedona Pass. Wow, wow, wow. My favourite. It's a stunning, almost palatial, home. How long did it take? It looks like it could have been years. xD The landscaping is incredible, the detail everywhere is stunning. You can imagine Kim standing on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, wearing a red sequined dress slit to the thigh. She's draped across the balustrade, a cigar the size of her forearm in one hand, a glass of chilled prune juice in the other. "Bill!" she bellows, flicking ash down onto the servants below, "fetch me Tom. I'll meet him in the boudoir..."
    Okay, so that image was more for your entertainment, but I was not kidding when I said the house is stunning. If the acronym 'DRF' still applied, I'd be using it now. :D

    I love your homes! I'm especially impressed by your use of colors and textures, each room looks very cohesive. :)
  • FischioFischio Posts: 319 Member
    Wow fantastic ground of build Bill :heart_eyes: I'm particularly in love with the courtyard of Sedona Pass and the kitchen layout in your latest. I had no idea there were lights that could be used for paintings like that. The item menus still make me a bit cross-eyed after staring at them for too long so I must have missed it TY!
  • TfbobTfbob Posts: 747 Member
    Wow, Bill! Your builds are spectacular. Everything from the architecture to the interior design is just so beautiful in every detail. :) TFbob
  • JudilandJudiland Posts: 2,332 Member
    Hi Bill! Your wonderful builds make me want to spend money I don't have. LOL I haven't got TS4 yet, hopefully one of my family will get the hint and I will get it for Christmas. But if I don't I'm sure by some time next year. Can't wait to see more from you, I am wondering if you will keep this thread, I will bookmark it for later reference. Love your stuff man, always have always will! Hugs, Judi.

  • JupiterGirlJupiterGirl Posts: 515 Member
    Hiya, Bill. Thank you for sharing your spectacular work! The amount of thought and detail that you put in to each lot is incredible. I had been debating buying Sims 4, and seeing Coatney House yesterday inspired me to buy the game last night.
  • Ash072Ash072 Posts: 1,324 Member
    Great builds, Bill! What I like most is that you went with three totally different styles and I really appreciate the attention to detail you put into every room by adding in the clutter that makes buildings like that home!
