Remodeling a Pre-Made House
*I have to make sure no one thinks that the house is entirely my creation since I started with the base floor plan of an existing house in Sunset Valley.
Pescadero - (Ursine's House in the game)

I have always looked at this house and thought it was kind of cute.
My biggest sticking point on ever moving in has been centered on the Stairway, and how it accounts for a tremendous amount of wasted space.



After tossing the idea around a little, I started considering the proposition of remodeling some of the pre-mades.
I figured this house was a decent place to start.

Moving walls around, adding a little more room under the roof and definitely fixing the stairs … the house has more to offer. I added a little more house from the two porch areas in order to flip the stairs around and make the second floor landing come out in front of the door leading to the porch, thus opening up the floor plan and getting rid of that hallway.

Of course the adjustments affected both the first and second floor, allowing a lot more flexibility in opening up the kitchen. There was even room to add a bar and a few stools near the first floor landing of the stairs.

The interesting octagonal room in the corner also made a decent master bathroom as well.

All in all … the rearranging of rooms and the stairway allowed for enough space to put a Grand Piano in the Master Bedroom. Not to mention attempts to accent the house's location and windows placed to do just that.




My testing team is still checking things out and upgrading appliances, but if anyone is interested I will upload the finished version.
Until next time … Have A Great Day … and Happy Simming!
