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 love this idea! I must've missed that other topic. It's good to refresh because many folks have their pictures lost during these years. Also, it's great to see other people's houses for ideas. Currently, I've got only one family going on and I'll take screenshots and come back after work today.

@thuggishsplicer Sounds good :) I've been up too late playing the sims. I hope people share while I'm sleeping.

Don't get me started on this topic. Former realtor (in real life). I'm going to end up.making More posts in this thread than the "What have you done..." thread. 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?

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.

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 holes in the floor were repaired but still needs new flooring and the owners' office will eventually be moved to the area above the garage.

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.

@Nikkei_Simmer Oh I know :) , the last topic I found was created by you but since it was from early '19 I didn't know if that would count as a thread necro. Great family house, it has everything, very clean with just a little bit of party with the bar. And it really does look like a real estate listing :D . That was entertaining. It sure is hard to know what this forum will censor, hopefully they fix that.

@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 :D May I ask where that stove came from?

The design of Spring Manor made my jaw drop in amazement, @bekkasan. Stunningly beautiful home.

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. :grin: I think Spring Manor is on a 40x40 lot. The empty rooms will be for kids someday. :grin: The stove is from Frontier Finds kitchen and dining set. It is called Grandmother's Cooktop.

@Nikkei_Simmer Thank you! Damien is about to hire the architect to work on the renovations some more.

Just a dose of real life: https://604now.com/1m-house-5-different-cities-metro-vancouver/?fbclid=IwAR0Ui2vOzUoHC7UXiBzc6lyPZ5PGnyfxnLILQ0ugx5aqfNzetDNYbj33ZpY

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.
