This thread is for sharing some of my builds and tutorials, and to connect with other builders.
As a former architectural drafter (who longs for those glory days) I live out my dreams vicariously through the Sims 3! <-- I guess I can't say this anymore now that I work once again in architecture!
Commercial buildings, so I still get my 'residential' design fix with Sims, but am now a
former former drafter!

The renovation of the home is very nice!

Week 2 entry: Full remodel, Sunset Valley
When I read the description for Myrtle Bungalow, "Cozy and livable, this compact house is packed with potential for the home remodeler while retaining its Victorian charm" I was instantly inspired to do just that and restore this house to its Victorian glory!
I added a second floor and a tower, upgrading it to 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. There's a formal living and dining, cozy office/library, and a charming rustic kitchen.
Outside I added rose bushes around the new front porch which (along with Pride and Prejudice) inspired the new name of Rosings Park. There is a small harvestable garden outside the kitchen, and added landscaping down the side with an easel. And of course, what Victorian would be complete without a garden tea setting?
We of course enter the house through the foyer, which connects to the parlor, and to the stair hall through the archway at the far end.
The parlor is connected to the library
The library can also be accessed from the stair hall
From there, we enter into the dining room
And then on to the kitchen
Upstairs holds three bedrooms each with private en suite. The kid's room also has a stair leading to a play room in the tower.
I hope you enjoyed this little tour of the Rosings Park Victorian makeover!

It is a very nice Victorian home

First up, previously uploaded...
Wayfarer's Repose
"When wayfarer's settle down, it's never for long, but it's always a sight to see! An eclectic collection of colors, patterns, and items fill this house, from the open basement to the artistic tower, two beds, one bath, open great room with living and eating areas, an office nook, and a wrap around entry porch. Landscaping includes bridge, fishing pond, and enclosed garden."

Wanderlust:
"Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we may pack up and be off! Never more than a whim's notice is required when you live in a mobile wagon house. Influences of fantasy, steampunk, and Victorian themes create a colorful and eclectic home for the single or couple. One bed, one bath, several skill items"

Now for new upload The Bluebird
"Go where the winds blow you in this colorful traveling wagon for one. Everything a sim needs to cover their needs and that's about it! Bed, bath, toilet, full kitchen with table, sitting areas, stereo, bookshelf, and dresser. Even a fireplace for those cold nights on the road."

They are such colourfully nice, richly themed homes!

If you really just want to be able to get in and see what I've done, I can uploaded the lot with the example bathrooms showing each pictured step onto the exchange if anyone requests that.
Your tutororial on making a walk in and glass enclosed showers is very helpful! Thankyou for creating it and sharing it with the simming community !

The only kind of garden I can grow is a virtual one.
Dragons - must haz dragons!
Hermitage On A Hill is for one sim and built in a medieval fashion - a simple kitchen with unfinished floors, an upper room with a bed, book shelf, bath tub, easel, and chess table. The toilet is in an outhouse at the bottom of the hill, an some garden items here and there, along with a fishing pond, to allow for self-sufficiency.
The many steps up to the house wind around trees and over water below. A unique build for a unique Sim!
Custard checked, no CC.

Hope you enjoy!
The home is very creatively designed!

Thank you all!!
Yes, this is inspired by the board game Clue though with a somewhat more grizzly end for all those involved!
