Title: A bit of a request... if anyone is interested. :]
Post by: bloodstainedkisses on 2005 December 12, 07:25:12
Well, long story short--  I can't build a decent house to save my life. If someone could build me a modernly decorarted one, with a MINIMUM of six bedrooms (including one large, and not including a nursery which would be off to the side of the master), I would be MORE than happy to... -cough- download anything said persons heart desires off TSR, and send it to 'em. (I have a one year subscription. xP)

I can't build to save my life, tis why I ask. Custom content is no problem, I'd muchly prefer decorated, and anyone who did this for me, would be WONDERFUL. I have all versions, including the holiday pack. :]

So... any takers?

Sorry to post this here it's just well... yeah. :]

^^

I know how you feel there! My experiments with the "no family size limit" hack have left me looking exclusively for larger houses with tons of bedroom space. As it is the family is currently in a house I downloaded and adapted to a 5-bedroom/5-bath (not including nursery), with multiple beds in some rooms the house can sleep 3 Infant/Toddlers, 8 adults (have the no kids in double beds hack) and 7 children. I see so many houses built on smaller lots, but not nearly enough nice ones with a lot of room for an ever-expanding family! Unfortunately, I have no content to offer anyone, so I'm left searching the various sites for bigger places, which is often made annoying by sites that don't list the # of beds/baths of a house anywhere!

I'll do it.  It may take me a couple of weeks though.  And I love decorating them especially.  :)

Yay! :] -Hugs Bluesoup- By chance, do you have AIM, Yahoo, or MSN? The first is preferrable, as it's easier to send the files through that way. I did it for an ex of mine, that way. ^^

But yes... muchly appreciated. :] I love big families, and all the houses are SO SMALL. Large lots aren't a problem with me, either. I can deal with loading times. :]

Especially since I'm getting an upgrade of RAM, and a new video card for Christmas. -Squee- ^^


A few weeks is fine, I do ten hour shifts, so I only get three days per week to play my beloved game. ^^

One final thing... a two car garage, if at all possible would be WONDERFUL. ^^ Sorry to be so picky.

Do you like 4esf furniture?  They have some largish modern houses ready furnished that you might like.  Can't count bedrooms in photo's, but I think they run to fewer larger rooms.  http://www.4eversimfantasy.eu.tf/

What size bedrooms did you have in mind and do you vote for playability or kerb appeal - cos they clash in my experience and you have to lean in one direction or the other.   I tend pop 4 beds in a room myself with no space to swing a cat.  All the other objects go in living rooms.  As long as they can get to the bed I'm happy.

I've got starter homes with 4esf furniture in ready done and have been thinking about building more.  I'm tied up now with a family for the Simpotence hood though.  If you like the esf stuff and you want the starter homes PM me with an e-mail address and I'll mail them.  Let me know if you have their furniture already or not so I know what to put in the RAR... I've got pretty much everything on their site that is free.  There's a linked site 11 dots - DK if they have houses.

If money isn't a problem, I have two-stories house with 3 bedrooms at the first floor + 3 bathrooms + kitchen + living room, and at the second story - one bedroom + 2 bathrooms and a large terrace. It's no problem, even for you, to add another 2 bedrooms + bathrooms upstairs.

The house has a parking with 2 cars, a pool, and a large playing yard.

It costs about 700,000$...:).

The house is furnished, with custom content, and the size is about 50,000 KB (50 mega)...:).

No I made a mistake - downstairs I have 2 rooms + 3 baths, and upstairs - 1 room + 2 baths...:).

Seems that you have to wait for Blue...:).

Actually, I started tonight and I think it'll be gorgeous.  ;D

I'll probably have it done in a couple of days, seeing as I am getting pretty into it.

Thank you.  :)

I am so glad I don't have to play this lot....my game is at a crawl right now just being on the lot.  Oh well, it shouldn't take long now.  :)

Oh oh, if you need a few houses like this I'll have a crack at it. What sort of style do you like, modern, Victorian, tradtional...?

Victorian... <3 My town has some VERY gorgeous classic victorian homes, and they are absolutely stunning. Modernish is nice, (which is what Blue is doing. :]) and so is Victorian, and farm house style...

Post by: JenW on 2005 December 12, 15:39:07
Oh cool, I'm a Victorian kick right now :D I can make you a big ol' Victorian :)

Post by: BlueSoup on 2005 December 12, 15:41:45
I love Victorians!  Jen, do you have stuff anywhere else, like maybe in a smaller size than what bloodstainedkisses is looking for?


Title: Re: A bit of a request... if anyone is interested. :]
Post by: JenW on 2005 December 12, 15:46:43
Yep, I submit on TSR as jenwar. I've put up a few Victorians so far, a couple are kinda big but some are smaller and I've got two I'll be submitting soon that are small.

ETA: Here's a link to my residentials: http://www.thesimsresource.com/items/ts2houses.php?searchonfield=creatorMemberID&search=826754 And I just realized I have another smaller Victorian I totally forgot to upload, apparently! Gotta get that one submitted ASAP.

That's cool.  Now I just need to figure out how to get them....

Post by: gali on 2005 December 12, 17:00:48
Jen,  bloodstain wanted  6 bedrooms + 1 big room.

Your houses are all with 3 or 2 bedrooms.

Blue, continue the work. :D :D :D


Title: Re: A bit of a request... if anyone is interested. :]
Post by: JenW on 2005 December 13, 01:22:03
Ah yes, Gali, but I built a house just for her :)

Here's what I've got so far...no lighting and it hasn't been tested, but what do you think? 6 bedrooms, three baths, nursery just off the master bedroom. And you said big was okay, right?  ;D I haven't looked at the price yet... :o

http://www.insimenator.net/showthread.php?t=291

35 Lucky Lane - $64,919 - app 6 bedrooms and app 4 bathrooms (with 1 wall added it could have 7 bedrooms)

45 Lucky Lane - $41,801 - app 7 bedrooms and app 3 bathrooms

I say "app" cause there are some rooms that be used as bedrooms or study/rec rooms or whatever (their bigger then 4x4) and some rooms can be used as a bathroom or a very small bedroom. Both Lots have plenty of room inside and out.

unfurnished (sorry but I have very bad dialup so mine are always unfurnished)

The more expensive one dosen't have room for a garage(sp?) but I know you can fit atleast 4 driveways. I haven't moved anyone into the other one yet so I don't know how driveways will fit.

Okay, here is what I have so far....

(http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d108/BlueSoupForYou/Sims%202/e2d36743.jpg)

This house has 3 floors, a pool and a poolhouse in the backyard and comes with a 2-car garage.  I completely wussed out when it came to the roof; I tried all the other roofs, and I am just not good at them.  So it has an auto-roof.

House features:

Games room with bowling alley and pool table
6 bedrooms and 1 nursery
5 bathrooms
Large eat-in kitchen
Separate living room featuring fireplace
Exercise room
Large study

How is it so far for you?

Jennwarren you are doing really great houses, just too bad I don't have a membship at TSR, I will try to get your stuff when it will be free on the site.

Bluesoup your house looks great!

We have really good houses creator here. 

I am better at doing starter house than mansion... I have a lot of work to do before I even come close to do such wonderful houses.

OMIGAWD, Blue, that is beautiful.  :)  You are very tallented. 

MissDoh, I feel the same way you do:  I'm better at building starter home.  Or, LOL Mobile homes.  ;)  I don't have anything that big in my game.  Hummm.  (creative juices flowing.)

Post by: gali on 2005 December 13, 19:36:51
Blue, gorgeous!

I bet I would be lost in that size of house, lol.  But 6 bedrooms, and a pool, and a garage, seems to be the perfect house...:).

Thanks guys.  :)  

I gotta tell you, though.  My computer is going sooooo sloooowww...whatever, I'm almost done.

The architecture is completely done, and now I'm working on landscaping and interior decorating.  I've never been able to use all my custom content sets before...now I can!  :D

That house is STUNNING. I intend to make a new family in which will be played in that house. <3 It's soooooo pretty. <3333

Post by: BlueSoup on 2005 December 14, 03:50:39
I'm glad you like it.  :)  Let's see, where are we on progress....

I've been sick the past couple of days, so this is what I've been doing.  Poolhouse is completely decorated, and so is most of the first and second floors.  The third floor is partially decorated, but I have also stopped a bit to adust prices in SimPE.

So far, the house is sitting at around §350,000 and I expect to add another §50,000 or so.

Post by: BlueSoup on 2005 December 15, 02:54:10
Well...some crappy things happened today.  I finished the house about 30 minutes ago, and like a dumbass, I hadn't saved the lot in about 2 hours or so.

So, once I tried to save and exit to the lot, what happened?  That's right...the lot crashed the game/computer and I had to reboot.  >:(

Anyway, here's what the house will look like, and mostly I'm posting them here so I have something to work off of.  :'(
