    @Pary Good recreation :smile:

    It is said that one idea for the original name of The Sims was simply going to be dollhouse.

    I prefer calling it The Sims! :D

    @deadhaus123 This thread is just amazing! I wish I had some talent as a builder, but nope... :s

    @KatyFernlily Your builds are truly awesome - I fell in love with your light house right away! :)

    @king_of_simcity7 Here are some classrooms in my game!

    @jillbg Nice classroom scenes :smile: I like how the classroom for younger children is slightly more colourful.

    I have one from a college as well so a large lecture room rather than a classroom but it did take a while to get Sims in place!

    @king_of_simcity7 I can relate to the managing lots of sims at the same time - worst was a wedding with 20-some sims in my household and most of the town invited! Posing, posing and swearing :joy:

    @Pary that house is gorgeous! :love:
    I don't build much on The Sims 3(when I want to build I play TS4 because I feel like the B&B is easier in that game) but you make me wanna try building in The Sims 3 :smile:
  • king_of_simcity7king_of_simcity7 Posts: 25,102 Member
    @KatyFernlily Is that from the Cotswolds? I have never been there but it is pretty much the area that JK Rowling was from. Look up 'Church Cottage' where she lived:

    1280px-Church_Cottage%2C_Tutshill.jpg

    It would be interesting to see a whole Sims village based on that architecture but of course you can make it in The Sims 3 :smile:

    Horsa Huts

    Horsa stands for 'Hutting Operation Raising of School leaving age' and where built between 1947 until 1949 as a program for proving additional accommodating to Britain's schools after WW2 to provide extra teaching spaces and workshops when the school leaving age had been raised from 14 to 15 in 1947. Every school would have had these and they where designed by the Ministry of works.

    They would resemble WW2 Nissian huts and built of the same materials. I have made some of my own in The Sims :smile:

    Few remain today but there are some exceptions

    Also included is the 'Kitchen/ dinning room unit of the same materials:

    I love featuring this in my story as the main social hub where many conversations (and some drams) take place :smile:

    King, if interested, it's part of Sudeley Castle Cottages. I don't know much about that area as I've never been. Only on the world wide web ; ) I hope to travel there one day.

    "HORSA huts were constructed of concrete and timber with corrugated asbestos-filled roofs".
    Nice.....

    @KatyFernlily Thanks for the link :smile:

    Britain did have prefab houses as well. Rare now but some do still exist:

    I believe that some entire areas of prefab buildings existed with prefab houses and a Horsa type school

    This is the "Storer House" another Frank Lloyd Wright classic recreated masterfully in the Sims by QubeDesign.
    It took a little terra-forming, but it mangaged to fit into this world quite nicely. ☕😎

    Those are from lunasims. There are 2 different sets, I'll try to find both for you.

    luna7 > ROSETAS COLOREABLES DE LUNA.rar

    The roses I used below are from luna3 - regalo aniversario de luna fix - luna_rosas through luna_roses8 (file names).

    (images) - https://web.archive.org/web/20120929202627/http://lunasimslulamai.jimdo.com/bucólico/bucólico-2/
    She has some very wonderful creations - you can spend all day just looking through the website.

    All of luna's cc is archived here:

    @KatyFernlily Fantastic interior work on the Lighthouse, it looks very warm and natural, with a nautical theme and I love seeing new furniture in peoples games.

    I do this a lot. I can't find many pictures of the ones I have done... This is one of the latest.
