It's Sims 3 Real Estate

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 only decorated and planted a garden.

Hallway

This was just an empty hallway while Callum was working at the cafe in Moonlight Falls to earn a MinusOne Kelvin Refrigerator. One day he apparently managed to steal this arcade game from work. Normally I send stolen items back but this was too funny and that's how this retro hallway was inspired.

So, I hope you enjoyed that and will consider giving a tour of your sims home. :)

  • Hey everyone, it's been awhile since we've all had an open house. What are you working on? I sure hope to hear from you. I've been preparing The Hanger House in Lunar Lakes for my family. Time to move away from Moonlight Falls. I've got a lot of pictures so I'm making use of the spoiler tags.

    Hanger House

    My sims have four kids so I added another pod onto the hanger. I also redecorated the other rooms in the home.

    The master bedroom has a large bed, a sitting area, a private bath, and food synthesizer. It's been decorated in accordance to Oliver's exquisite taste. Do you like it? He's sensitive...

    I like sinking these all-in-one stations into the wall. I think they look better that way.

    Teleporter room


    On the top floor of the main house I made a teleporter room which I imagine some people might have in the future instead of a garage with cars.

    Teleportation is a complex process requiring precise calculation. Luckily, the process is automated these days. On the right we see a time gate and down the hall on the left is the common use transporter.

    https://i.imgur.com/8mJJCJp.jpg

    This money back guaranteed safe hyper-compact black hole powered teleporting super computer creates a small pocket dimension in the safety of your own home. This dimension allows for the momentary creation of an entirely new mini universe within its central buffer. Think of it, stars, planets, perhaps entire civilizations exploding into creation in the safety of your own home. Then, by consuming the vast energy of this universe this computer can harness the power to sub-atomically disassemble a sim, molecule by molecule, violently hurling the swirling radioactive molecules to a predetermined destination in town to be reassembled with acceptably accurate results.

    !!! Warning !!! : Failure to adequately cool the computers quantum CPU can lead to terrifying visions of shadow men, needle-nosed anxiety wasp infestation, and/or growth of toxic gravity defying clusters of hissing dark mold.

    A comfy living room for the family to watch the holotube. One really cool thing is that I'm getting more use out of the High End Loft Stuff and Townlife Stuff packs because some of the items have good synergy with ITF.

    The lovely dining room with the large table for the whole family. Great city view and even comes with a holo privacy screen.




  • @Satanu_Reeves I love what you did to the Hanger House. It's so creative. I never knew what to make of that one :lol: .
    It's always interesting to see an alternate version of a town a play in.

    As for my game, my current household had moved to a penthouse first, but I hate elevators, so off to Hicksville it was (well, still on the Storybrook County map). The existing offers for empty houses were limited, and the household went with this one for the moment:
    https://i.imgur.com/yGGeuFU.jpg
    I wasn't too fond of this one from the outside (the inside is nice enough). The facade looked a bit like a crooked face, and I didn't like those brick sections on the upper floor of a mostly wooden house. That's why I changed it up slightly.
    https://i.imgur.com/zDhIM2x.jpg
    The backyard got a little greenhouse.
    https://i.imgur.com/E3M0RLQ.jpg
    The house has a pool, and I deny any responsibility for the design. I know it's just a combination of three of the original blueprints, but hey. I think the creator noticed something, given those pool tiles - which oddly enough even stressed the mental image - got mostly removed.
    https://i.imgur.com/IXyOG3O.jpg
    Anyway, a move across the road is planned. Same size lot, but a house from a different world (slightly edited, but not my original, either).
    https://i.imgur.com/bj9A55i.jpg
  • @Turjan Thank you much for the comments. I think the new hanger house will make a fine family home. What a lovely home you have. I especially like the little green house around back. And that pool, I could just dive in head first.
  • Thanks, and :lol: .

    Anyway, it took me a while to notice that the house has got an issue with the front door. I was already wondering why the neighbors were always sitting and playing videogames in my household's living room or using the bar in the - locked - backyard. Turns out that the game considered the front arch as front door, and I couldn't reassign that to the actual door. So we got another edit.
    https://i.imgur.com/HEMIEzh.jpg
    Now we finally have an actual front door (yes, a texture is missing, which I fixed later).
    Another issue was that the front yard wasn't really usable because everything is sloped. I noticed that the house must have been copied here, and it doesn't sit at the right height. I should probably make a copy, bulldoze it and put it back in flush with the terrain. I guess at that point, everything will be fixed and it's time to move :wink: .

    I never realized how nice Storybrook county was :open_mouth: Gorgeous photos
