Would anyone like to host an open house and give the forum a tour of your current households home? The last topic like this that I saw died down in early 2019, surely we all have new houses by now. And I think it could be interesting to see how everyone's sims are living at the moment. If you're more just into the building side, your current projects will do if you'd like to share. Share a few or share a lot of pics, but if the latter please do consider using spoilers.
Here is my sims current home...
204 Lakeside Drive, Moonlight Falls( 2 bedroom, 1 bath)
Source is custom world 'Strawberry Fields' by aaronrogers83. I only decorated and planted a garden.
Current occupants: Callum Young (Father), Joey Young (Father), Adam Young (Son)
First Floor
Second Floor
Living Room
Just through the front door sits a small alter to Set, the god of foreigners, to greet and bless guests. There is a warm fireplace and a bookshelf full of books for the bookworms in the family.
On the other side of the room sits a blessed sarcophagus of kings and a small alter to 'The Watcher'.
Callum's Study
Callum's study where he pursues his interest in occult magic.
Dining Room
Just a normal family dining room. The portrait on the wall depicts Callum's parents and Callum during his 'rebellious' phase.
Kitchen
Plenty of space in the kitchen.
This family frequently makes pizza.
TV Room
A cozy room for family entertainment.
Hallway
This was just an empty hallway while Callum was working at the cafe in Moonlight Falls to earn a MinusOne Kelvin Refrigerator. One day he apparently managed to steal this arcade game from work. Normally I send stolen items back but this was too funny and that's how this retro hallway was inspired.
A chemistry station.
Bathroom
Just a normal bathroom with all the standard safety features.
Joey's Office
Joey is an author that works out of his home office. He specializes in satire but is also well known for his romance novels.
Adam's Room
Small room but Adam doesn't seem to mind.
Master bedroom
This bed is a lot more comfortable than it looks.
I should put curtains here.
Outside
Callum's gem cutting machine. There is a WA chest hidden in the tool chest that I can access by clicking near the feet.
The Young family recently grew to include chickens and bees.
The house sits across the street from this 'abandoned' Llama travel station.
So, I hope you enjoyed that and will consider giving a tour of your sims home.

I've been up too late playing the sims. I hope people share while I'm sleeping.
I did "open.houses" every weekend for six years straight.while I was in real estate. Walked countless buyers and tire-kickers through various listings I had. Wrote up offers. Took buyers around on "lookie" tours to different listings. The whole nine yards.
Ah. Lots of fun. Now I get to see if my marketing is still up to par in my sims game?

@EA_Leeloo, can we please have the word censor not censor out Japanese last names? like Matsus-hita?
Oh...freakin' great, I'm going to have to make another Asian sim (in a suit)...so I can have him be the face of Sims Real Estate.

Welcome to Sunny Acres.
The red barn, big enough for two horses.
The entrance, which needs improvements in the garden department.
The back of the house with a back door for the trash close to the kitchen.
This is the floor plan. A kitchen, a large room as dining and living, two large bedrooms and a bathroom. I'm considering reducing those bedrooms a bit because they ended up too large. In the future, as the family gets more money, I intend to add a second floor.
Some hightlights:
I have 2 current homes for sims in my current story.
The first is at 47 Ruby Court and is called Spring Manor. I built it myself. It is a rustic lodge that was left empty for many decades and deteriorated over the years. It is undergoing renovations as the owner's money permits.They recently bought new windows and the house is no longer drafty from the cracked and broken windows.
The kitchen is in desperate need of new counters and fixtures.
The master bedroom still needs some work but with the beautiful fireplace is a comfortable room.
The attic is being used as a science center and bedroom.
Somebody needs to finish working on that old broken down car and clean up the cobwebs in the garage!
Back view. The yard has a lot of debris and plants in it but once cleaned up would make a great yard for kids to play in.
Many of the other rooms are still empty and require new flooring and repairs.
I renovated Handcrafted Masterpiece at 9 Cottonwood Court for one of the sims in the story. Front view. There is certainly room to grow if the sim marries and has children.

@thuggishsplicer Well it looks fantastic so far. I forget the name of those round windows but I really like them in the wall between the living room / dining room and the kitchen since it looks like they'd let more of the natural light flow through the house from the large windows in the front. The whole lot looks like the best of both worlds from two distinct styles in Lucky Palms. Be nice to see it when you've finished.
@bekkasan Your renovated Handcrafted Masterpiece is so charming! Would be a great home or summer cabin. I'm a fan of how you decorate. Spring Manor is coming along nicely also. I stopped living in large homes because I could never fill up all the rooms
In real life, in Vancouver, that design and size would make it a $9.8M home.

@Satanu_Reeves Thanks! I do tend to fill big lots too big and lag my games from that. If you've ever seen my Red Dragon Lair, it is way too big.
@Nikkei_Simmer Thank you! Damien is about to hire the architect to work on the renovations some more.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
Can you imagine the houses we make in Sims would not be affordable in any stretch of the imagination in some places that we live in.

The Jennings family house is on a fairly small lot in Monte Vista, whereas my Summerbreeze/fairy family in Sunset Valley is on a 60x60 lot (15 Summer Hill Court, where the equestrian centre usually is, but I deleted it). Lot size can really affect things!
It isn't a home but I have a few of them that are quite explosive for a game. I haven't been using them lately.

I also love seeing what other people are actually using in their own games, so yes please show me all your sims' cool homes.
The current house my sims are living in is designed to look weathered, rustic, and cobbled together from scavenged bits, so the scratched up wood and furniture not matching is 100% intentional:

Master bedroom. (Needs more clutter I think):
@VexingQuery I like it, It's design that tells a story.
Given it's only a 16x18 lot, I had to limit what I could do there. The original house itself was a tiny one story affair. The yard work is original, I only added the fence. The house got a basement and one-and-a-half stories above. Inside, the ground floor was completely remodeled.
I placed a copy of the original elsewhere in town (with a bench instead of the original hedge):

My current families are all living in pre-made and/or WIP houses (or on their lawns, lol), but I'll probably be back with some build projects or renovation updates.
No structural changes yet, but I added a nice garden to the front yard.
Floor plan is also still mostly the same, but I shrank the bathroom.
And some color scheme changes to the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom.
I have two small crab spiders at the moment IRL, one in a small terrarium and one in a plastic box with simple toys. It would have been cool if you save a house from the game and have it 3D-printed in a small scale. It could have two storeys, with stairs and decorated with plants the little spoods could climb on.
Hanger House
My sims have four kids so I added another pod onto the hanger. I also redecorated the other rooms in the home.
Pod 1 - Master bedroom, Gym, Lab.
The master bedroom has a large bed, a sitting area, a private bath, and food synthesizer. It's been decorated in accordance to Oliver's exquisite taste. Do you like it? He's sensitive...
A closer view of the room.
Great views of...whatever moon this is.
Nice view of the mountains.
I like sinking these all-in-one stations into the wall. I think they look better that way.
The Lab and Gym.
Pod 2 - Bedrooms.
Judah's room. He's recently become a teen. He's a jock and loves movies. He wants to be a movie star.
Dana's room. Being Judah's twin, he's also a teen. Dana is a virtuoso and wants to be a rock star.
Noah's room. He's a science geek. He's also a child so I will need to add some toys to his room...
Luka's room. Also need to add toys. He loves the outdoors.
Teleporter room
On the top floor of the main house I made a teleporter room which I imagine some people might have in the future instead of a garage with cars.
Teleportation is a complex process requiring precise calculation. Luckily, the process is automated these days. On the right we see a time gate and down the hall on the left is the common use transporter.
This money back guaranteed safe hyper-compact black hole powered teleporting super computer creates a small pocket dimension in the safety of your own home. This dimension allows for the momentary creation of an entirely new mini universe within its central buffer. Think of it, stars, planets, perhaps entire civilizations exploding into creation in the safety of your own home. Then, by consuming the vast energy of this universe this computer can harness the power to sub-atomically disassemble a sim, molecule by molecule, violently hurling the swirling radioactive molecules to a predetermined destination in town to be reassembled with acceptably accurate results.
!!! Warning !!! : Failure to adequately cool the computers quantum CPU can lead to terrifying visions of shadow men, needle-nosed anxiety wasp infestation, and/or growth of toxic gravity defying clusters of hissing dark mold.

The Living and Dining area.
A comfy living room for the family to watch the holotube. One really cool thing is that I'm getting more use out of the High End Loft Stuff and Townlife Stuff packs because some of the items have good synergy with ITF.
The lovely dining room with the large table for the whole family. Great city view and even comes with a holo privacy screen.
This building is from Amberville where is was an art gallery. I think I've finished it for now. I plan on getting pics of the kids Oliver creates so I can decorate the walls.
It's always interesting to see an alternate version of a town a play in.
As for my game, my current household had moved to a penthouse first, but I hate elevators, so off to Hicksville it was (well, still on the Storybrook County map). The existing offers for empty houses were limited, and the household went with this one for the moment:
I wasn't too fond of this one from the outside (the inside is nice enough). The facade looked a bit like a crooked face, and I didn't like those brick sections on the upper floor of a mostly wooden house. That's why I changed it up slightly.
The backyard got a little greenhouse.
The house has a pool, and I deny any responsibility for the design. I know it's just a combination of three of the original blueprints, but hey. I think the creator noticed something, given those pool tiles - which oddly enough even stressed the mental image - got mostly removed.
Anyway, a move across the road is planned. Same size lot, but a house from a different world (slightly edited, but not my original, either).
Anyway, it took me a while to notice that the house has got an issue with the front door. I was already wondering why the neighbors were always sitting and playing videogames in my household's living room or using the bar in the - locked - backyard. Turns out that the game considered the front arch as front door, and I couldn't reassign that to the actual door. So we got another edit.
Now we finally have an actual front door (yes, a texture is missing, which I fixed later).
Another issue was that the front yard wasn't really usable because everything is sloped. I noticed that the house must have been copied here, and it doesn't sit at the right height. I should probably make a copy, bulldoze it and put it back in flush with the terrain. I guess at that point, everything will be fixed and it's time to move
