Hi dear fellow Simmers!
I’m Morri and I love creating homes and community lots for my Sims. I’m one of those players who are fans since Sims1 but mainly lurk in the forums. Part of the reason is that I’m a little shy because my mother tongue isn’t English, the other part is my technophobia when it comes to editing posts.
I’ll try every building idea twice if it catches my interest but I mainly create houses that look like modern architecture had a baby with some old industrial-brick houses. I once saw a repurposed factory building in a magazine and fell in love. They gutted the building so it got a very airy and open look and used lots of wood and glass to transform it into a dream home with a roof garden.
Now, I’m in the process of transforming my favorite neighborhood Willow Creek in that kind of style. I called it the ModernBrick Collection. Some lots are work in progress, some are finished and inhabitedand used by some very happy Sims. I tend to switch between playing and creating so it is a hodgepodge playstyle. I’ll post the ones I share on the gallery here one after the other and hope that other Simmers will like my creations.
First up and newest creation is my
FamilylifePark.
Credit for the ideas go to ChuckyChuckTS and JOL1990 for the treehouse and the ship respectively.
If you want to download, search for MorrighanSan on the gallery. All my lots are playtested but if you find something that does not work, please tell me. Attention: #noCC, #moo and resized objects galore. No fishing pond! I accidentially deleted it. Ooops?
The old, repurposed Coast Guard ship, ready for new adventures! Don’t worry, it can’t sink. (computer is not functional, no place for a chair in the stearing room, delet if your sims get angry because they can’t use it)
Lounge, dining room, ship kitchen and storage, cabins
Unusual place for a wedding, but charming. Outside on the back deck Sims can meditate and relax.
The tree house.
There’s more but I didn’t want to make it too image heavy: playground for the kids with a spaceship, jungle gym and a ‘sandbox’, swimming pool, barbecue, restrooms, fireplace and the underwater observation room with an educational ancient ships display. The ship has been ‘grounded’ and instead of a machine room there’s a tunnel as a second entrance.
If you download my lot and have any issues, please don’t hesitate to tell me.

Family Life Park is a very nice park for sims to enjoy visiting! Very nice design of the different areas of the build! Nice campfire area for sims to enjoy sitting on the log themed seats toasting food and keeping warm by the fire. They will have fun swimming in the pool there. The exterior of the Old Police Coast Guard boat is very great! It reflects so very well a boat! The star badge is a nice touch on the exterior. It looks great how you have done the stairs to the entrance of the boat. It looks nice how you have it surrounded by water! Nice outdoors area at the back of the boat for sims to enjoy sitting resting on the seating or enjoy meditating on the stool, enjoying the sunshine. Sims will enjoy cooking meals outdoors on the BBQ in the front area of the boat. The layout of the interior of the boat is very nice. Very nice wedding area! It looks very nice how you have placed the windows there. It is a nice light filled place for sims to enjoy the sunshine coming whilst getting married or watching the ceremony taking place. The flowers boxes on the wall and the vases of flowers look very pretty there! It is nice that you have placed armchairs and a sofa there for the wedding guests to enjoy sitting on. Very nice chess deck nook! Sims will have fun playing chess at the table there, enjoying the outdoors air. The tree house looks so very nice! The design of it very creative and nice! It looks very nice how you have used the curved fencing! It looks very great how you have built it around the tree! The rooftop garden is very nice! The garden patio that has the steps that leads up to the master suite looks nice. Very nice master suite! The lotus flower rug adds to the nice look of the area and the pink colour of the bed is pretty. Very nice dining table! The rose on the table is nice for sims to see when sitting at the table, enjoying looking out at the very nice outdoors views! Nice armchair sitting nook. It looks nice how you have used the hedging to create the nook. The wall with the candles in it and the white bedhead curtains look very pretty! It is nice that you have a library in the build. Sims will enjoy coming to the library and reading a book from the bookcases whilst sitting relaxing on the sofa. The candle and plant are nice touches either sides of the sofa.
The build is very nice!

Thank you, I hope you'll like the other lots just as much. I'm not a big legacy player but originally the lot was dedicated to younger Sims and now it has more attractions for the adults. My other lots thus far are not as exotic, more down to earth everyday life requirements.

If i can inspire other simmers, that makes me very happy.
Can't wait to see more of your builds!

This lot can potentially be run as a retail shop, at the moment it isn’t classified as one. It isn’t big and fancy, I strived for functionally cute.

Thank you @Chubbychuck! I couldn't resist and now, after the first one, I'm thinking about building another one as a real residential lot. I was, as I told you, sceptical at first about functionality but now I think it provides a nice challenge to make it work. Another level would be a weather resistant version in case of future Seasons EP. I guess everyone will have to take another close look at their creations to make them water proof if/when that happens.

It is a very nice gardening store

Greenlove Tree Villa
It started as a house and developed into something that can be called a mansion, just way above the ground! No worries, the pillars are titanium reinforced and will withhold the strongest force. *ahem* I fell in love with the tree house concept after trying it out for my FamilyLife Park but I wanted to make it into a real residence. That meant that the rooms had to be connected with real hallways. My Sim loves his new home and doesn’t intend to move if the endless summer suddenly ends. Thus the main rooms are connected without giving wind, water and snow a chance to touch the sim. I still shudder whenever I remember my Sims dripping water (and complaining loudly!) after Seasons got implemented, what a mess!
#noCC, #moo, #treehouse, #modern
Attention: I resized and mooed a fair number of objects! I playtested it, no problems yet. The trees sometimes get in the way of the best camera angle.
And one more pic because the light was just too lovely to resist!
I can’t make links pretty, but if you want to try this home, search for MorrighanSan in the gallery.
Edit: Thanks to the wonderful @ChubbyChuck My link is all pretty! Thank you! Morri’s Gallery

Most of the time while building that treehouse I've done it without the trees anywhere in sight, just marked the places where they would go. C/p in and out whenever I checked if something worked. My sim has blisters on his feet, he had to go everywhere. This wont be a house for the elderly, everyone else wont need a fitness center. In life mode the trees are pretty and no problem but I nearly went crazy trying to take good pics for the forum.
@Nhicks: Thank you! The Coast Guard Ship was fun to build but it took more than a few tries to get the proportions right. If you ever try a ship, don't make it diagonally. *sigh* it would look so good but stairs only work straight. I found that out AFTER nearly finishing, of course.

ModernBrick Bar&Café
I removed the Archive in Willow Creek to use the sunny corner lot. My couples love to use it to go on dates and enjoy the music. it is not a big posh lot.
The building is a remodeled and gutted small fabric building that went bankrupt in the 1920is. The new owner refused to change much on the outside, charmed by the rugged look of the whitewashed bricks.
The loading area in the back is practical for big garbage and deliveries, no dragging bottle crates and sacks full of flour through the customers’ space! Upstairs the owner can enjoy the sun on a private little balcony.
The lot has a small enclosed garden for fresh ingredients and a tiny conservatory to shelter the more exotic plants and keep the production running, even in winter. If winter ever comes.
Upstairs a loft waits for the tired owner when the bar closes. Everything they need is there but a kitchen, which would be silly with the big one downstairs! The bar downstairs offers life music and a tiny private dining room for romancing couples. Fresh cookies and other delicacies are sold in the other part of the room (not on the pic), and the restrooms are in the back.
What to do with all the ingredients and stuff a backer needs for the café? Let’s store it downstairs! The basement offers storage space and a small, cluttered laundry room for all those soiled tablecloths, dishtowels and of course the owners own clothes.

@rosemaw: Thank you for the thorough review. My sims enjoy that house very much, you are right. They don't want to go downstairs and feel quite safe up in their trees

Log of a Renovator.
I waited until the boss turned around the corner, then my knees gave up and I had to sit down fast, or I’d have fallen down. Oh my. A Princess being forced to wed far away from home and nosy socialites, all because she’d gotten pregnant out of wedlock. Huh, that was a new one and a little bit old fashioned, by earth standards! It explained the low budget though, 71.000 Simleons aren’t what anyone would consider enough money to outfit a royal wedding. Maybe aliens had other ideas about expensiveness than earthlings? Or it really was meant as a punishment by the royal house. Well, no matter the background, I would do my best so this couple would have a dream wedding!
I inspected the requested structure. Not bad. Although it wasn’t what I was used to I could see lots of possibilities and pulled out my sketchbook and my tablet computer to capture all the ideas that were running through my head. I looked up some alien plants to get ideas about color schemes and shapes. A spiky crown theme, that would be nice! I nearly ignored my ringing cell phone but it was never a good idea when the boss was calling. The news wasn’t good. One of the star guests had broken her ankle. So much for the idea of preparing the wedding ceremony on the biggest platform, the party on another. The less stairs involved, the better. Another idea made me call back. “The princess isn’t too far along, no?” I hesitantly asked. Highly pregnant females and stairs aren’t a better idea than broken ankles and stairs. And some other parts of my plan might be influenced too if- “No, I asked! Ambassador Bimimi said that she isn’t showing yet, no problems. Some nausea, but no vertigo.” I thanked her and made a note to reduce the distance to the toilets.
Two days later. My working bees were marvelous. The finished roof structures looked impressive, if I said so myself, and weren’t costly. They would also provide some cover to shield the wedding from prying eyes and camera lenses. Bride, groom and party would arrive via a Vortex Generator, on the biggest platform, but the requested strange alien trees I planted would certainly cause some curious stares. Note to self, high fences are needed too.
Yep, strange they might be, but they grew fast and made the park look much better!
Now for some special touches and I knew exactly where I could find what I wanted. I had to leave for a little bit. I made sure to lock the door behind me so no vagrant would be able to use the unfinished lot as a temporary home. The restrooms were clean and neat, certainly, but the porcelain thrones were the cheapest I could find and shouldn’t be used to prevent early breakage. They had to work for not even a day. No matter, the plumber was on speed dial for emergencies and I had a rented tux in his size too. Don’t ask.
It took some persuasion to convince the curator of the museum to let me take some seeds and cuttings. Thankfully he was used to aliens and wasn’t shocked about the reason I needed them, just skeptical. After hearing about the Princess Starla and her plight he even helped me with some gadget so the plants would grow very fast. Princess Starla would have some comforting fragments of home away from home. Doctor Nowhotky shed some additional light on the alien culture of ZamCaBam. He lectured for hours but what it boiled down to was that, while babies were rare and precious, the future husband wasn’t a native of that planet and although his own race was more fertile and he himself was revered as a great warrior, nobody liked his race much and didn’t want a Halfling royal additionally to the out of wedlock stigma.
Racism. I swallowed and looked down at the seeds I’d acquired. While waiting for the plants to bloom, some bad timing on my side, I had cursed the lost time and questioned myself for being too fancy. Now my resolve was back and I hurried to the lot and planted my little treasures. The doctor said that these luminous bulbs and, to my eyes at least, dangerous tentacles were considered a delicacy all over the galaxy and a pregnant female would adore them as a midnight snack. Their glowing would cut back on my lighting costs as well. Hey, a tight budget encourages pragmatism!
Tomorrow I will add some finishing touches. I really hope bride and groom will like it.
