Hey simmers :blush:

Here's the Growing Together build thread!! I am beyond excited to see your nurseries, family homes, game rooms for the elderly, and whatever else y'all can think of <3 WE ARE FINALLY GETTING THE PERSONALITY/FAMILY PACK GUYS :smiley::smiley::smiley:

In the meantime, feel free to browse the awesome things simmers have made for High School Years, My Wedding Stories, Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Island Living, and Discover University. Or look at some renovated apartments here.

    I went in to an older save tonight to have a look at the treehouse I built way back when we got Kids stuff and void critters in 2016. I've updated it a bit tonight and will do more with it once we get the pack. Or maybe even build different ones in different places....and MAYBE even a huge connecting one between trees in a park or something.

    While the other one is okay, I think I will rather have my sims have treehouses suited to who they are and what they can do in them...

    @SimTrippy lol, well thanks, but I fully admit my build skills are poor and basic.
    But I like the idea of making my own treehouses for this. Even a teen hangout one! We need some no girls/boys allowed signs! lol

    Altered the rec center (sorry lilsimsie) I put the library there since I plan on deleting the library in the other neighbourhood.

    I built a cafe on the 40x20 lot across the street from the splash pad. That location seemed perfection for some kind of food venue... an ice cream shop or family restaurant would be great here too.

    Gilbert Gardens Cafe:

    Mmmm, pastries:

    Lot type: Cafe
    Size: 40x20

    CC free and only uses Base Game, Get Together, and Growing Together packs.
    Available on my gallery if anyone's interested in grabbing it for themselves. :)

    Beautiful lot! Can you tell me which pack the ‘All of the Things Table’ by the bathroom door is from? It shows a weird shaped green icon so it appears to be from a stuff pack, but when I checked the icon of SPs, it’s not listed. Is it a recolour? The icon has 5 sides instead of a circle.

    Edit as I found the roof.

    That hallway table by the bathroom is one of the custom content items submitted by Peacemaker for that free base game update EA gave us a while back (last year I think?). Even though it has a green icon in the corner, it's a base game item.

    I am terrible at showing photos but I did break down after 2 years of not building anything and built a coffeeshop in San Sequoia based on my favorite coffee shop in San Francisco. I feel that if the devs didn't want to make this look the SF I remember I may as well give it a shot.

    I've done some quite nice houses of late myself, haven't put them on gallery just yet though. Been focused on the sort of house that has a central bathroom in the middle of the first floor with either a basement or second floor [or both] for more rooms. Considering my lack of "lived in building skill", I think they turn out ok if basic. I don't use any cc for building houses either.

    One example should be up on the gallery, but it is a few years old. Gallery id of dcwestby
    Sorry, Avatar is merely my favorite Sims 4 sim.

    I wanted each town in the world to have similar builds that reflect the area while accommodating the families that reside in them.

    Hopewell Hills
    Building can be very time consuming and I wanted to start playing as soon as possible. Several homes where built from rooms that I used from my other builds in various worlds.

    For this build, I was able to use a home I built for Cottage Living. Made some changes to the exterior and interior using Growing Together build items as well as build items from other packs. This is Denton's and Bella's home which will accommodate their growing family once they are married.
    Denton-Bella-s-House-Pic-1.jpg

    Interior
    This is a two-story house. The second floor consist of the bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms.
    Denton-Bella-s-House-Pic-2.jpg

    First floor of the home.
    Denton-Bella-s-House-Pic-3.jpg

    I used this style home for Hopewell Hills and Gilbert Gardens.
    Residential-Home-P1.jpg
    This is the interior of the house if the family has a toddler.
    Residential-Home-P2.jpg

    First story of the home for those who have a toddler.
    Residential-Home-P3.jpg

    This is the interior I used for those families with children.
    Residential-Home-P4-2-children.jpg

    Typically, I like to make sure that the children have a playroom.

    Anchorpoint Wharf
    I wanted these homes to look similar to the builds in the world.
    August-Carlie-s-House-P1.jpg
    Interior of the house
    The entry way of this home is on the second story.
    August-Carlie-s-House-P2.jpg

    The bedrooms, adjoining bathrooms, and play room are on the first floor.
    August-Carlie-s-House-P3.jpg

    This is the second home I built for Anchorpoint Wharf using room builds from other worlds.
    Remy-House-P1.jpg

    Interior of the home
    Although this is a two-story home, everything for the family is on the first floor.
    Remy-House-P2.jpg

    This is the third home I built for Anchorpoint Wharf. Built this one to match the exterior of the home next door to it.
    Clemons-House-P1.jpg

    Interior of the home
    The second floor consist of the bedrooms, adjoining bathrooms, and laundry room.
    Clemons-House-P2.jpg

    Here is the first floor of the home.

    The recreation center exterior build fits the world. For the interior, the builder used the bb.moveobjects cheat which I wish they had not. Builds that remain a part of the game should never use this cheat. Nevertheless, I made changes to the interior without the use of that cheat.

    Here is how the interior now looks.
    Rec-Center-1.jpg

    Rec-Center-2.jpg

    Rec-Center-3.jpg

    Minor changes made to the second floor along with adjusting items that used the bb.moveobjects cheat.
    Rec-Center-4.jpg

    Rec Center playground: small change made to this.
    Rec-Center-Playground.jpg

    The library in the game is a really nice build. The only thing I changed was the bathroom.

    It is! My gallery ID is Beatreject12. You can also just look up "18 Celebration Way" and it comes up under "popular now." It's by far the most popular thing I've ever built, because I think there's a real hunger for ACTUAL SF builds. I'm not a builder, so I heartily encourage folks to download, improve upon, and reupload this build.
