The Sims 3 map + home architecture *real world finds*

This really amazed me and made me glad when i found that this real world location so closely resembled my current lot! I can't even remember which came first !? anyways just thought anyone who had pictures of something they saw in SimNation that closely resembled a real world location had a place to post pictures. Only rule is: both the focus must be on the architecture of the RESIDENTIAL lot aw well as the surrounding landscape such as trees, mountains, and other buildings. The picture MUST include both however, at least to the best of your ability. As i realize that this may be highly subjective, bonus simpoints to all who try :D

    House in LA....Love that song!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6dtXL_P2b8

    That is AWESOME!...I've never heard that beautiful song until now..I literally just saw the original capture of the area in that one little photograph in my OP. Thanks for sharing the link to the music video it makes the house come alive and gives a better perspective on the surrounding views!

    PS* i only had a 20X25 lot to work with in my project so im happy i didn't see the rest of the house before now as it would have been next to impossible to include that into my re-creation :D

    I don't have any to share, but just wanted to say your builds are very lovely, I currently have a world you built a long time ago installed into my game!

    I think actually building a house in TS3 that exists irl, such as a family home or maybe on found on a house plans site, are so much easier to build.
    I'd post pics of my HGTV Dream Hone Build but I'd have to find the place as my sims moved out of it.

    Amazing work there! I realized shortly after starting the thread, that the chances of an identical house in an identical setting were slim as i have ever only encountered something close to that in my game once!....regardless great work and thanks for sharing!

    With this amazing piece of architectural history, it adds a certain atmosphere that is very rare in most architecture. The setting in this case is pretty much the similar sky, but its still cool to see it in-game. - The Hollyhock House -

    I was considering doing this up in Sims 3 when my computer gets fixed. This is Surrey Public Library in Whalley.

    I do wish I had a much steadier tripod that my Manfrotto 190XB when I took this shot.

    I figure I’ll probably lose what marbles I have left trying to get the curved windows. Can anyone suggest some cc for those type of windows? :mrgreen:
