Large one story homes

@starguru I have been working on the house again this weekend (been a RL month now) and have finally gotten MOST of the walls up and some of it painted. I'll probably lose my sanity when I start working on the roof. My Sims are still in suspended animation standing out by the greenhouse. *laughs* Boy are they in for a surprise when they "wake up"! They will also be a bit surprised that their cushy bank account is pretty well wiped out...

EDIT: I'm going to keep editing this post as I'm getting the family's furniture moved in and adding pieces.

* I'm curious how you did the 2nd floor patio roof. It looks like slats or something.
* In the living room, I'm seeing what looks like shelves under the TV. How were those done?
* I see a laundry room but I'm not seeing laundry baskets in the bedrooms/bathrooms. Have you done your decorator magic and hid them?

Yays for progress! Roofs can be tricky, but if getting them to blend makes you too crazy, you could try using the autoroof feature and then adjusting from there. Hopefully your Sims funds won’t be too horribly depleted, lol.

Which home are you using to model yours after? I can be more specific with my answers knowing that. But generally speaking:

*An open patio roof that looks like it’s made up of slats (resembling a pergola) in any of my builds is designed using short base game fencing.
*Depending on the build, it may be the shelves from Generations EP. I often use those when creating things like custom entertainment stands around a wall mounted TV. I don’t remember doing that for any of the example homes I linked, but can look into it when I know what build plans/pictures you’re following.
*I usually do place laundry hampers in bedrooms and bathrooms, and tend not to hide them so Sims can access them without routing difficulty. It’s possible they may not be visible from the angles I took the pictures from.
