Colorful Builds

ciane

Mama Dragon is looking for colorful Sims and houses. They can already be in your studio. You could have entered them in contests before, I believe. Check here:

So I had a couple lots in my studio...

This lot takes the tiny house movement and expands on it by placing the trailer-sized compartments together to form rooms for a larger house.


You have probably noticed the way secondary colors on a color wheel are sandwiched between the primary colors that give them their color so that green is between yellow and blue, and blue flows to purple as more red is added. The color scheme here follow the colors around the wheel from red to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple and back to red as you go from one compartment/room to the next.


For room continuity downstairs, sometimes the color is only added to as an accent.


This picture shows where the compartments where placed together with space left between them to create another room for dining.


The master bedroom has arch ways leading to the dressing room and bath area.


The bathroom also houses the laundry appliances.


We transition to a green living room with t.v. and keyboard.


The top level simply spun the color wheel one spin from the bottom. So it follows the same color wheel progression. It just started one color away from the color below it.


Do you see the color wheel now? There is also a one-story version.

Your two builds are very nice! I have already posted about them on the contest thread. It is so very interesting to read what you wrote about the colour wheel, Feng Shui and the background and idea behind how and why you used the colours in the build. Thankyou for a very interesting and informative tour and information about the colours

I really love the pastel colouring for the exterior walls! It's really cute I've never attempted to do such a colourful build, but this really makes me want to Great work Ciane! x

This is the single story version: YJok. http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=8325850


The main floor looks pretty much the same with the added stairway.


I may have changed the ceiling to wood later, but this shows you the view you didn't see of the kitchen earlier.


I didn't follow the color wheel inside here as I follow the feng shui colors instead. Blue is the left close corner as you enter a house for knowledge and transitions to green for family in the center and then to purple for power and prosperity on the left far corner. So we swapped the green and blue color wheel scheme for to follow feng shui colors on the way from the green kitchen to this purple corner study.


Fortunately we transition from purple to red, and follow both feng shui romance red and white colors with our normal color wheel progression again.


From the red bedroom to the orange and yellow bath, we again appease both the color wheel and feng shui with the most auspicious placing of the bathroom on the right center of the house.


You saw the center dining room before. Here the walls retain the color and composition of the outer trailer wall. Looking in the living room you see white walls on top with reddish wood bases and green furnishings. We transitioned from the yellow/orange bathroom to green on the color wheel and incorporated feng shui's white color in the influential friends corner.


So a mixture of color wheel and feng shui and tiny home movement. You now see some of the logic behind my color scheming.

I absolutely love both versions hon. The colors really liven things up. Rec'd and faved both. By the way, I'd have never thought to combine the restroom/laundry facilities like that. Nice move. Thanks for sharing. **hugs**
