How Have Your Houses Changed Over Time?

I love slowly adapting a house for my Sims as they gain skills and grow their families. My Sims rarely move; they just expand and alter the existing house for their needs. My main Sim family lives in Carpophagous Corner in Strangerville. The house started out like this when it was just Bob Friend and his dog Mason:

Now that Bob, his dog Mason, his Secret Agent wife Sylvia, his father, his triplet human-mermaid daughters, and his half-alien twins have all lived here at some point, the house looks like this:

I intentionally did not decorate it in a beautiful way. I wanted it to be haphazard, because none of them are interior decorators, and his wife has the Slob trait. I'm not sure why their rocket reverted to its box form recently, because two of the children have already taken many trips to space in it.

How have your houses adapted over time?

    They started off as big boxes with no yards, porches, columns, or anything. Then on the inside there was a rly basic floorplan lol. Now I usually just build normal houses you'd see in real life XD

    Not so much adapted, but completely re-doing. In my current save I'm turning Forgotten Hollow into all mid-century modern builds. So the story goes that Forgotten Hollow got an update in the 60's/70's and then never touched again. I'll probably make some vampires stuck in the mid-century as well.

    I keep making little changes to the Wright Way House, as time wears on. I finally added some landscaping, which admittedly, I'm not too good at, but I learn things as I go. I turned the top turret room into an actual room. It's my celebrity singer Sims' studio. I don't have pictures, currently.

    That’s definitely how my houses started off too, lol! Mine didn’t even have roofs at first! I’m only now really starting to get the hang of building.

    I do my best not to use boxes these days, even if it means getting help from the gallery. But, I still add bits and bobs as my sim family grows because they tend not to move out unless they go away to university.
    Don't anger the fruit. It may make her toot (at you). ;)

    While I've been pretty good with LEGO, I stink at art and architecture (which is why I mostly build vehicles, using basic designs for the platforms of those vehicles that LEGO typically uses). Thus, my houses, quite often, look pretty bad. As I practice more and learn the use of all the tools in Build/Buy, they're getting better.

    But usually, I only do remodeling to change features around, remove stuff I don't want, and make room for certain items a Sim needs for their career and/or hobbies. Heck, the only reason I got Tiny Living was to make better use of the small houses in Willow Creek, in which stuff is crammed tight as it is. I doubt they're over 500 sq. feet in real life.

    I used to expand, but now I move my Sims because I want to try a different lot or neighborhood. I find that when I build completely from scratch the homes look so much better than when I expand bit by bit from something tiny. But I also liked expanding on a lot because the house would have a lot of history.

    I sometimes just move but mostly I love adding on @Rouenpucelle also I really dig how your house turned out as time went on.

    The most recent house I have the clearest pictures of is this one.

    It was mostly as their adoptive parents became more human they realized exactly how much space they should be pushing for with their massive group I need to get back to that save too ha. Also it's not mod related servos can adopt human children fun times, you know if anyone was curious, ghosts too.
    Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
    All the sims err'day
