My Legacy House - Constructive Criticism Welcome

Hi! I had a house built for my legacy challenge and decided I hated it and bulldozed the whole thing and restarted it. I got an idea that I want a home and a Guest Home on the same lot mostly being because I'm doing the Legacy Challenge and figure I'll have the parents in one house and the newest generation (or the kids I'm not continuing with) in the other... The guest home is going to be further back on the lot (not yet built). I decided though I'm out of ideas, and I want some other ideas for the house/guest house/outside as well as anyone to point out anything you don't really like cause I'm a bit iffy on how it looks, and would like ideas on how to make it better. I'm also open to hearing anything you do like :blush: I'll also upload pictures of progress for a while. Thanks if you take the time to read this :lol: Also it's somewhat picture heavy so I've put the pictures into categories and spoilers (:

Some thoughts I have before anything: Quite a few of the rooms are also incomplete, any ideas for those are welcome too. More importantly, I need help filling in the awkward empty spaces on both floors.. On the second floor I plan to add a small living room and reading area hopefully with a fireplace. Any other ideas? Also outside I'm planning to make a party area with tables/chairs, maybe a dance floor, and the empty space in the top left corner of the lot is going to be the "guest house". Any thoughts are welcome, all will be considered... thanks in advance (:

*Edited to just say I have all of the expansion packs so if you have a thought of a certain item feel free to let me know, and I'm also not opposed to custom content*

  • @seas Did you see my update? The post right above yours I changed all the shutter windows to square windows and fixed the siding and a few other tweaks :smile:
  • Just saw the update....it looks great! Like those windows better. I also love that little dining room and how you did the angled rooms...just a great house!

    I tried out the arches here, I like it a lot actually.

    I put up a different paint/siding on the outside that kind of looks a little better, and I also made all the windows square, I'm still a little iffy on them. And I tried out that gable roof, I must just not be able to make it look right. The roofs also are not the same depth so it's possible they just don't line up right. I'm not sure.

    I updated the dining room to be a table of 6 instead to limit routing issues. (And I'm just noticing the awkward triangle of wood instead of carpet so I'm fixing that)

    And this is of my ponds/rock work out back. I like the rocks better than fencing, but I still need to work on the rock work a little more. I'm trying to play without cheats which means I have to make my sims work before I can add more rocks XD


    Thanks for taking the time to read this and reply :grin:


    Ooh! I like it much better! The roof looks great!
