    La Maison du Roi - A luxurious Parisian townhouse by jisgr8

    in The Sims 3 Builders
    Hey everyone,

    It’s been ages since I’ve added anything to my studio, but after a long hiatus I’ve finally managed to complete that one project that seemed to be a permanent WIP. My latest is a Parisian townhouse going by the name La Maison du Roi or “The House of the King” due to interior spaces inspired by Versailles and Gatchina Palace so very opulent.

    CoverLarge-2.jpg

    Features:
    6 bedrooms
    8 baths
    4-car accessible drive
    Formal and vegetable gardens
    Library
    Gym
    Nectar cellar
    Rooftop patio
    Ballroom

    This is my first upload with store items and it uses a bunch. I usually try my best to keep my lots store item free, but I don’t feel I could have made this lot as it should be without them so forgive me this once.

    Just to note, the main stairwell spanning the entire 5 floors uses stacked stairs and an annoying game glitch makes them unusable if the lot is not placed in a North-South direction (no idea why). If you absolutely have to have the lot facing a different direction I made sure there is plenty of space in the stairwell to remodel the stair placement. It just won’t look as nice.

    A download link and a link to a tour with more interior pictures can be found below. Feel free to leave any comments or questions you might have.

      Hey Jisgr, welcome back. Another phenomenal build with the La Maison Du Roi Palace. I really like the overall authentic architecture, structure, and design including the smooth roof lines, incorporated balconies, and the slanted front entrance. Great usage of the different combination's of windows, doors, white bricks, gray roof tiles, and marble archway which I think adds character to the authentic French architecture. The landscaping especially the placement of trees and the organic garden really flows naturally with the overall Palace. Incredible job with the interiors including the incorporated stairways, bedrooms, bathrooms, nursery, family room, kitchen, entertainment room, formal dining room, library, ballroom, and office. The excellent color schemes compliment perfectly with each room especially the decorative rich wood floors, wallpaper, fabric composition, decorative ceilings, and furniture. Therefore, the overall interiors provide the Palace with an authentic elegant French/traditional setting. My favorite areas of the Palace would include the overall design/structure, rooftop patio, wine cellar, bedrooms, bathrooms, family room, kitchen, formal dining room, library, ballroom, and the office. Recs for the tour/Palace and dl/fav from me. :D

      I just uploaded La Maison du Roi, and it's unbelievable. The attention to detail is out of this world! It's quite a creative feat--every single room is beautiful and a piece of art. And it looks just like Paris--you captured that architecture and style so well. You did such cool things with the moveobjects function--like creating more elaborate chandeliers, for example. I love the rugs and patterns. The ceilings are perfect. Even the cellar is stunning! I could go on and on and on. This is one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing! -Bill

      Oh J, to say rec dl and fav, just isn't enough. To say it is beautiful isn't enough either.

      This build is so beautifully done, with huge attention to detail and style. It is a vertitable tour de force, congratulations on just finishing it.

      I am off to download it, and place in in game so I can wander round and drink in all the tiny details!

      Thank you for showing us!

      BrennaW: No you don’t have to bow unless you really want to. Maybe just a nod or two…lol. Thanks for the comments Bre

      Leebeejeebee: Thank you Leebeejee. I’m happy you think so about the king thing. For once I wanted to pull out all the stops and go for super luxurious.

      Yanti68: You’re too kind Yanti. It’s definitely far from perfect. When I look at the place there are still changes I probably would have made and that’s from just looking at the cover pic. I guess that’s a result of working on it for so long….never satisfied. Thanks for commenting and I really appreciate the rec

      spartan1: Thanks spartan1. I’m happy with any amount of recs, but thank you for the thought. I’m just thankful I get to share this lot with everyone and I hope people get enjoyment out of it.

      TnT_Terry: Hey Terry :D hope you’ve been well and taking care of TJ. I started this at the beginning of last September hoping to get it out for WA. So it’s an old baby of mine. Don’t get me started on the ceiling tiles…hard to place and they never behave. And you’re making me hungry with your talk of ribeye and lobster...I’m starting to drool on my keyboard. It’s great to hear from you and thanks for the rec

      Pistons:       Thank you for taking the time to go through the place pistons and share your thoughts on the design. I’ve never made a build like this before so your words mean a lot. I’m pleasantly surprised it turn out so well. Thanks again

      Tfbob: I appreciate the comments Tfbob, and I hope you enjoy playing the lot though it can be a memory hog with all the objects. Just placing the lot took me 5 minutes of load time so there might be a long wait for slower pc’s. Thanks for the drf

      WOW!! Incredible. I have dibs on the gold bedroom (unless Elton John has already claimed it). Rec'd and added to my favs. What a thoroughly decadant home. Love the architecture. :-)

      HOLY --- !

      jisgr8, this house(sorry, i mean, this ESTATE) is absolutly amazing ! You paid su much attention on details that make the house so luxurious and unique ! You know, i watched the slideshow like 3 times and my favorites rooms are defenetly the Pink room and the yellow one because of their amazing roofs and details. Even the wine cellar is magnificent !

      Sorry for my bad english, but i really wanted to tell you all my mind about your house, howerver much time it could take me :P !

      Oh and, just to correct a lil' thing : at the end your wrote "Au revior", but if you wanted to write it in french, you should have written "Au revoir", hehe. Anyway, sorry for that french class, but it kinda ticked me :oops:
