When you walk in to a room or house in real life the aroma of the house is the thing you might notice. If you walked in to your sims houses for the first time, what do you think they would smell like?
Here is my sim self's house. He's lived there for eleven sim years
Nine children have passed through here and two step children from his second marriage.
Here is what i think i would smell if i entered my sim self's house:
- Laundry
- Fried Food
- School Supplies
- The scent of his second wife's perfume.
- Hard wood from the floorboards.

- My sims are so accustomed to the smell of their cats, that they do not notice it anymore, but visitors will definitely pick it up.
- There's always the scent of coffee in the air, a good brand, too. Sometimes it's a cocoa speciality instead.
- Printer ink, paint, glue and whatever else is needed for the children's current school project.
edit: And fire! Naturally!
Danielle and Londyn Huntley- I think lavender, vanilla, and ocean breezes. They live on the little island lot on the southern end of Tartosa just a few feet from the ocean.
Liberty and Matteo Rossi- The same ocean breezes the Huntley's enjoy find their way to the Rossi's home, Villa Vigna. Matteo is a fabulous chef and a Tartosa native so in addition to the ocean, I think their home smells like jasmine which is Liberty's favorite, and all the rich, decadent aromas of Matteo cooking. Fresh baked bread, garlic, tomatoes, basil, olive oil. and so much more.
Summer Holiday and Darian LaRue- They live further inland so the scents of the ocean aren't as strong. Summer is also a master chef, but she hails from Willow Creek. Their home may smell of penne carbonara one day and gumbo the next. There is a hint of pine from Darian and honeysuckle that Summer remembers from Willow Creek.
You might smell the sims, plants, food, the fireplace, and at the back there is a hamster and cat that are cleaned and looked after. But because it’s so big and cleaned all the time I’d think it would just have an airy hotel kinda smell.
An unearthly, ghostly sort of wet dog smell. It could be from the ghost dog, or from the funky salt-marsh air getting into everything, or from the werewolves the oldest girl hangs out with. It's hard to be sure.
The vague miasma of multiple teens in the house, one of whom is a slob.
Whatever got onto Dad's fishing clothes that day... and got left on the floor while he jots down his latest book idea.
Last but not least, the unmistakable stench of Mom's sneakers. She's a professional athlete. No mystery about that one.
Um, come over anytime
so tbh mostly I would just aspire to smell nothing as I walk in most of my sims houses
maybe something connected to current weather/ plants nearby
maybe something my sims have been cooking/baking
possibly smell of... death or plasma?
smoke/ fire? shall there be fireplace or torched things
muddy paws anyone?
scent for thought.

My goodness folks I can smell his thread from miles off.
Go easy on them “perfumes” please, thanks. 💙
I'm with you on that, am also sensitive to fragrance and will start itching if I can't get away from a home filled with scented products, no matter if it's natural or synthetic it's all a problem. I can't be around scented laundry detergent either, or use it.
I do appreciate temporary scents of things I do at home, like making coffee, peeling a mandarin, and I love the subtle spiced scent of my Badger shave soap, but it started making me itchy so I will have to see if I can still use it.
If I want my home to smell super welcoming to someone coming over I would bake a batch of bread, cinnamon rolls, or cookies, and put on tea or coffee when they arrive.
I admit to liking to smell the scented wax packs at the store but it is just a matter of time til that makes me itchy too.

Bread and cinnamon rolls for win
it also comes with perk of eating the said bread and cinnamon rolls
So very disappointing it is though when there is the scent but not the food
also tea is sometimes disappointing when it smells so good but it doesn't taste the same
but it is nice when it also tastes as good as it smells
yeah, not that one, I would prefer to not taste that one, or the one that smells like rodent cage
just christmas tea traumas
only because my cat hates orange fruit of any kind
and will not cuddle me if I smell of them
and the scent stays on you for such a long time after eating the fruit

My sims' houses, I would imagine would smell like mine if they were a cook, like fresh linen and the good part of barnyard animal smells, canning, candle making, all the really fun stuff if you lived on a farm.
For my legacy save, it would be a mess of different things. I just recently built them a new Victorian-style house, so they would get that "new wood" smell. Also burning wood smells from the fireplaces and the wood-burning stove. They have a very well-decorated house with a lot of fabrics with the curtains and beds and other textiles, so I think they might be building up a bit of dustiness. Oh! And they have two cats as well, so cat-related odors. Lastly, the father in the family keeps sneaking off to the pool when I'm not watching him, so the smell of wet mermaid, which I assume would smell like fish.
For my celebrity save, they have three children at the moment, so the smells of dirt and grass and art supplies, especially in the back hallway and their bedrooms. The father of the family is a very famous musician who tends to have paparazzi hanging around as well, so of all my saves, I think he would be most likely to consciously think about how his guests would perceive the environment, but there's not really enough stuff in the house to balance out the child smells, so it would be something more artificial like an air freshener with one of those that are marketed towards guys with scents like "black lightning" or "cool rush".
I won't burn them til it's warm enough to open windows, because breathing VOCs is not my plan, but uncovering them for a few minutes is nice.

Musty for some, because some houses have at least 6 teens, and only a couple showers/baths.
Probably smells from dirty dishes, kids, and pets as well.
I don't think it would smell nice, because I have large families in each house, so even with flowers and scents, it wouldn't smell good.
Unscented for me too, I am allergic to a ton of things.
My sim homes would smell like whatever they cooked that day, plus any pet smells if they have pets or are Werewolves
The Blue Moon smells like old wood, books and whatever the specials are that day.
Guidrys house smells like gumbo and oil paint from his latest art project
Greg’s house smells like wet dog.

I think his home would mostly smell of wood and florals.
Samphy and Kio's lighthouse: There would be an almost constant aroma of freshly baked pastries, biscuits and cakes, occasionally interrupted by the stench of a botched magical potion.
Jiya's house: Old books, the fireplace and a lingering doggy smell. (She doesn't have any dogs, she's a werewolf). As she's still getting used to her powers, there is occasionally the smell of something else, but she's usually quick to clean it up.
The Strange-Quest household:
Norrell and Leoni's rooms would smell strongly of whatever perfumes/colognes they were wearing that day
Tadeo's room would smell faintly of books and paint.
Rhydia's room would smell probably of laundry and sweaty gym clothes as she likes to work out a lot.
The rest of the house would be relatively neutral, unless Norrell and Leoni have been practising pranks; in which case at least one room would reek of either something rotten, trash, poop or the most noxious farts imaginable (Norrell is especially skillful at not only clearing a room in this manner but also in doing so without anyone being able to trace the smell back to him).
