Can someone build me a house?

Or direct me to a download if you already have one?

I'd love a very architecturally detailed exterior of a town house for my generation 2 sim. I'd like something that looks imposing from the outside, landscaped and old money looking if that makes sense? It can be unfurnished completely, I don't mind that. I'm not the worst builder, but I simply can not get it to look the right way and people here are just so talented.

Thanks so much for reading!

    Not sure if you've already tried this, but this Youtuber, The Sim Supply, makes really awesome houses + tutorials. He uploads the houses to the gallery as well - I can't link you but Youtube/Gallery search The Sim Supply & you will find!
    I would offer to build you one myself but quite frankly, he's better :)

    I really need to work on my outside architecture so I'm gonna give this a go, if not just for practice. Don't hold out for me though! You'll find much better builds elsewhere.

    A few questions:
    What sized lot?
    How many rooms/basic layout (eg, downstairs bathroom, 3 bedrooms, basement, open plan kitchen/dining?)
    What packs do you have?
    Happy to download a bit of cc?

    @rosemow thank you for the link. Caths house is beautiful, but I'm mostly looking for a single rather than a duplex :)

    @14hours thank you for taking on the challenge! For the lot size, I think 30x20 would be the maximum size, I don't beed a big house. As for the floor plan, I don't have any specifics, not for the bedrooms. I haven't planned out the number of children, etc so I can adapt on the go. And cc wise, if you're referring to build cc, I have a lot of windows/walls/etc already so feel free to go nuts, don't mind it one bit. Or any cc for that matter haha

    Hey, saw this in the gallery:
    (Tried to copy the link but then realised I am not a member haha, you can locate it if you search for Black and Tan Townhouse)

    Not sure if it matches what you wanted :)

    @seaofseneca sadly I dont have a particular house in mind, more of a style in general, hence why I just can not get it right by building it myself. My inspiration pictures were these, I just adore the details on the outside shell:

    @Amiutza I could quite quickly build the house in the 3rd picture if you wanted? I likely wouldn't have time to furnish it if that's alright, but I can create the shell and outdoors aspects, those are my speciality anyway haha, I'm not the best are indoor design :)

    @Amiutza Just realised this style seems very Parisien haha, found a few cool other examples and might try combining them. Wanted to ask btw what you wanted for the side of the build? It seems these houses are usually directly connected to other houses hence their location in large cities. I was planning on just making all the sides mimic the front but without a grand entrance.

    @Nore yup it's super parisian and as for the sides, that sounds really great. I can't wait to see what you come up with and don't worry too much about the interior, I can work with anything, it's just the exterior that just doesn't wanna come to life for me

    @Amiutza Just finished :) Modelled it after the pictures you linked and a few I googled for Paris. Ended up better than I expected, I was concerned the single rectangular block nature of it would be too plain but I was able to accent the walls to make it less noticeable.

    Here's some pictures:

    Here's a little French country style home I have on the gallery. It's a budget build so it's under 40K and I was fascinated with playing with large families, so I made homes with a ton of bedrooms and modest décor but enough to place and play.

    Here's an image gallery to take a look around.

    @Nore oh my god I am absolutely speechless, you have literally knocked it out of the park, it's absolutely breathtaking! I can not thank you enough!

    @withlovejulien your house is adorable and it's absolutely going into my game. Thank you so much

    @Amiutza thank you for those amazingly kind words haha. It was absolutely my pleasure, I lived in Paris for a year and utterly fell in love with the architecture... And the food and culture and style and art and language haha.

    I left the inside entirely up to you, I did put in some stairs to make sure each floor was accessible. It has 3 stories with a tiny attic in the 4th floor above. The nice bit is that you can absolutely ignore the 3rd floor entirely if you don't need the space and expand to it if your family grows. There's foundation as well so that gives you some options for sunken rooms if you wanted.

    I was very pleased with how it turned out so I might go ahead and furnish it in a French style as well and maybe rework the landscaping as I kind of just threw some bushes around since I'm not familiar with appropriate landscaping for a city house haha. Doesn't seem like any of the Parisian examples I saw had any landscaping at all since they are in the middle of the city but it felt too empty to leave out landscaping here haha.

    Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just got the Sims 4 for PS4 the other day and just stumbled upon this forum tonight. Is there anyone out there who would like to build a house for me? I have some pictures of one I would love to have identically recreated! Please let me know if anyone is interested and how to proceed. Thank you so so much!

    @Auroraskies Hi there! Thank you so much for your response and all of the information. I really appreciate it! And I was hoping someone would see this and help out! I'm very new to all of this and still learning so I will try posting the links to my pictures there. Thank you for all the help!

    If you haven't found someone to build whatever it is you are looking for I could always give it a try!

    Oh, you are welcome, and you already got a builder interested!

    Hi, Idk if the op is ok with this, but I’m looking for a talented builder to build me something kinda specific for the whimsy stories legacy challenge. I would like it to be for a single mom (by choice) and her four kids, at least one in each life stage (1 teen, 2 children, 1 toddler and an infant.) And their pet (cat or dog I don’t care.) She is a college professor, and I would love a baby room. Like just for the infant. I love those for some reason. Anyway, I haven’t made this family yet (literally 32 us dollars from buying a laptop to redownload ts4 on) but I’m a planner and I want a house lined up for her and her family.
  • simsiefansimsiefan Posts: 11 New Member
    Also I have all the packs except for snowy escape, paranormal, and the kits. And...STAR WARS🤢... Anyway, excuse my cringe name, this is from some years ago.
  • DeanXeLDeanXeL Posts: 289 Member
    Hey @simsiefan, what type of house would you like? I myself am a basegame builder, so you'll probably pick someone else to make the build for you, however if you could say whether you are looking for something towny, rural, maybe a style (modern, country, retro,...) Do you want a garden? Plot size and or budget? It would help a potential builder create your vision ;)
  • simsiefansimsiefan Posts: 11 New Member
    @DeanXeL thank you so much for your reply! Do you have the packs and just choose to do base game, or only have the base game? The story I’m going for is her parents were the perfect couple, and they had a lot of happy, perfect children. She wanted that for herself, but she’s unflirty, and decided to be a single mom via lab(with mods) it’s one of the rules that she have a pet, so if you don’t have cats and dogs, you could just leave a tile of space for pet stuff. So she wants a perfect suburban home. Plot size doesn’t matter, and budget doesn’t matter, as she is a professor and is gen 2 so she has “old money” I want it to be nice but not fancy, if that makes sense

    @simsiefan, I only have basegame. I don't know, been thinking about getting some packs but then again, I like building for 'everyone' too and I would not be able to stop myself from always using packs ^_^'

    So suburban, like classical suburban? I do mostly modern, but I have made a few more classical houses in the past
    1) A horse ranch

    2) A classic villa or big house

    3) A normal house

    4) A European style house

    These are all a while ago, I was actually thinking of making a new classical build, since it's been so long hehe. If you have a different style in mind, feel free to post a picture! :)
  • simsiefansimsiefan Posts: 11 New Member
    I like the style of the European kinda mixed with the normal, if that’s possible. If you are interested you can look at missimreno on the gallery. I love her style but I can’t exactly find a house that suits my needs perfectly. Also if you end up building keep in mind I am totally ok with cc as long as it’s maxis match and I have links.
