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

@Pary that house is gorgeous! :love:
I don't build much on The Sims 3(when I want to build I play TS4 because I feel like the B&B is easier in that game) but you make me wanna try building in The Sims 3 :smile:

@KatyFernlily Is that from the Cotswolds? I have never been there but it is pretty much the area that JK Rowling was from. Look up 'Church Cottage' where she lived:

It would be interesting to see a whole Sims village based on that architecture but of course you can make it in The Sims 3 :smile:

Horsa Huts

Horsa stands for 'Hutting Operation Raising of School leaving age' and where built between 1947 until 1949 as a program for proving additional accommodating to Britain's schools after WW2 to provide extra teaching spaces and workshops when the school leaving age had been raised from 14 to 15 in 1947. Every school would have had these and they where designed by the Ministry of works.

They would resemble WW2 Nissian huts and built of the same materials. I have made some of my own in The Sims :smile:

Few remain today but there are some exceptions

I love featuring this in my story as the main social hub where many conversations (and some drams) take place :smile:

King, if interested, it's part of Sudeley Castle Cottages. I don't know much about that area as I've never been. Only on the world wide web ; ) I hope to travel there one day.

"HORSA huts were constructed of concrete and timber with corrugated asbestos-filled roofs".
Nice.....

@KatyFernlily Thanks for the link :smile:

Britain did have prefab houses as well. Rare now but some do still exist:

I believe that some entire areas of prefab buildings existed with prefab houses and a Horsa type school

@KatyFernlily Your cottage is simply gorgeous! :love:

Thanks all for the compliments /blush
I feel I'm an amatuer and have seen some fabulous creations here and elsewhere.

This is the "Storer House" another Frank Lloyd Wright classic recreated masterfully in the Sims by QubeDesign.
It took a little terra-forming, but it mangaged to fit into this world quite nicely. ☕?
