Family Friendly Treehouse
Whew! :sweat_smile: I had soooo much fun making this build. It was my first ever attempt at making a tree house and I'm pretty much in love with it. Lol. :D

The only thing I'm not so sure about is the flooring above the porch. From a birds eye view, it does look a little funny. I did a little experimenting with bushes using MOO. I wasn't crazy for that look either, so I just left it alone.

Another first for TS3. Yes, TS3. I've made bridges and things before in TS2, just so we're clear... Anyway, I wanted to do an arch on this one, but the elevation controls made it difficult. Is it just me or are they waaaay more sensitive than the ones in TS2?

I placed this build on a secluded lot in Hidden Springs. If you have Ambitions, I believe I put it in place of the private venue, portapotty warehouse...? That is the name of it, right? :flushed:

Because the house is pink, I went with a cute theme throughout the whole house. The fairy tree house fits with it perfectly, I think. :)

A little bit of a mess in front of the door...

...And on the other side you'll find this.

The TV room.

The first room I started with always seems to be the kitchen. Sets off the rest of the look of the house... Okay, okay. I just have to make sure that it's big enough to fit at least one of those cooking objects from the store. The bakers station fit well. :blush:

The darkest room of the house is the bathroom. Nothing special, really.

You'll find this upstairs. I really just wanted to fill the space, rather than just being a boring "hallway" (quoted because it's not much of a hall ;) ). Oops. :flushed: I took a picture of the other side of the hallway, but I don't want to go back to photobucket to retrieve the dang thing. *is lazy*

This is the smallest of the three bedrooms and less girly than the rest of the house. I wanted something that could work both ways. It's unisex.

The other child's bedroom, complete with my new favorite object: pillows! I just found out that I had those! I guess they were there since generations. Haha! :heart_eyes:
I had another picture for the parents room, but it didn't turn out so well. You can find it in the last picture of this post, bottom left. One of my tester sims from Hidden Springs is checking out the seat and dresser. I play tested with the Funke family and discovered the other dresser was too big to fit in the space, so I swapped it out with the one you see below. Everything seems to be working order, now. :)

Birds eye view of the family area, or the second floor.

The third floor, showing all the awkwardness of the remaining uninhabited flooring. :confounded:
Again, I left out a pic. It's just the screened in porch, below the second floor. It has a small art area and tea area. Connected to it is a slide for the kiddos and, to my amazement, it works (I had to elevate the ground, so that the slide would meet the end of the porch... I wanted it to look like another escape route for the family)!
