@ks0 Sweet! I always hated that the blinds would clip into the windows and wall like that! Do you have a link to that mod pretty please?
@Michael_Pattrick Genius to both of those hacks! I use one of the wall lights that looks like a stove hood range above the ovens in my sim's kitchens to create that look as well. I might have to show a picture of that later. I'm really glad that cabinet doesn't interfere with the functioning of the fridge. 👍🏻 I was kinda sad that EA didn't provide shorter, overhead cabinets to be placed above the fridge, though I know many modders have.

Yes! I would love to see which light you're talking about and see how it looks. Would love to diversify my stove hood options.
I agree about the lack of shorter overhead cabinets. It literally took until the final expansion lol! It also bugs me how off the overhead cabinet proportions are - the country-fried overhead counters I think have the best size/proportion to Sims and how big overhead cabinets generall are in real-life, but of course it's only one of the overhead cabinet options out of everything else provided.
@Michael_Pattrick , I'm a little late into this conversation but I think this is the light @emorrill mentioned, and if I remember correctly it comes from Pets. I also use it all the time!
There is also a beautiful stove hood available in the Store - the Grapes of Nectary stove hood - but it only looks good in a kitchen decorated in that style. The one from Pets is more neutral.
This is what I meant by "Nikkei_Simmer's Decorating Atrocities". Here's one from start to finish. https://youtu.be/v1CqQvJ2M4c
Told you I wasn't great at interior decorating.
I gotta also work on my OBS Capture settings. ~sigh~ the lag is incredible.

@Nikkei_Simmer
I've built houses like the one in your video. On the other hand, I've also built more complex homes while my Sims stand out by the mailbox in the rain watching the construction. My homes tend to always turn out looking the same, as I build for playability rather than aesthetics.
I have no decorating hacks because I don't like a lot of clutter taking up space in my game saves. Does that make me a bad Watcher?
My latest rags-to-riches home (Ultimate Legacy Challenge) started out as a 3x3 room with a sleeping bag on the floor and a cheap chair to sit in. The 1x3 bathroom had a toilet and the It's Not Gross public shower. No kitchen (she ate apples, quick meals at the fire station, or raided picnics in the park), therefore she didn't need a sink either.
Exterior:
Interior:
Land: §1,000 to "buy" the land per the Ultimate challenge rules
Building: §1,950
Sleeping bag: §100
Bookshelf and chair §165
Total cost: §3,215
Prior to this home, she slept on the ground in a sleeping bag or at the fire station.
@texansky, Nah...I prefer building for ease-of-movement for my sims, so that's why you might see gigantic mansions with my Sims builds, but essentially...very little clutter. Nice large open space rooms so that they can go in and out easily without running into routing problems.

@Nikkei_Simmer
I only play cramped spaces when I am doing rags-to-riches challenges, but as soon as they are able to expand, I'm like you. I enjoy my space and don't have to worry about them complaining about routing issues. The only time I get routing issues on my lots is when they want to play in the garden sprinklers.

Thank you very much, @jillbg ! I love clutter too!
