Building Newcrest

Hey guys! I've been really into build/decorating recently so decided to build up Newcrest including creating sim families to live in the houses with backgrounds! I'm not great at exterior building so I've been downloading exteriors to revamp and then decorate the interior to suit the family style. I've decided to post each house and family here to show you all, and also give shoutouts to the amazing builders who helped make it look amazing!

Without further ado, here we go...

    Thank you! I wanted to make a variety of different family types but I also wanted to keep family trees complete for realistic gameplay :)

    Lot 7 - Originally: Cookout Lookout - Now: 177 Newcrest Boulevard

    The next home in this neighbourhood belongs to the Tucker-Johnson family!

    First up is Yasmin Tucker, an outgoing animal enthusiast who loves spending time outdoors in nature.

    https://i.imgur.com/3CciW65.png


    Next is her wife Emilia Johnson, a family-oriented vegetarian who loves spending time outside just like her wife.

    https://i.imgur.com/4T6jzOG.png

    And their daughter Jemima Tucker-Johnson who, you guessed it, also loves time outdoors!

    https://i.imgur.com/JK671LE.png

    The Tucker-Johnson family raise chickens, have their own garden where they cook many of their meals from, and frequently spend their Sundays at the Henford-Upon-Bagley market. Let's look around their home!

    The exterior of this home is originally by annathini :smile:

    https://i.imgur.com/UU5RR3a.png

    As you enter the house there are archways leading you to the many rooms with an open flow

    https://i.imgur.com/GH6GpEL.png

    The living room has a very nature inspired theme, which flows through the rest of the house

    https://i.imgur.com/3m8DP9E.png

    The dining room is big enough for the family of three, and has space to expand into a larger family in the future

    https://i.imgur.com/bQwKxEz.png

    https://i.imgur.com/C1uyn7D.png

    The kitchen is clean and simple with enough space to cook all of those home-grown meals

    https://i.imgur.com/WFx92rC.png

    They even have an indoor herb garden where they can season their various meals

    https://i.imgur.com/wlWSafy.png

    Leading off from the kitchen is their little piece of outdoors indoors

    https://i.imgur.com/JC9UbgI.png

    A gorgeous greenhouse sunroom

    https://i.imgur.com/5fjW7Vi.png

    https://i.imgur.com/N5kmHnT.png

    The bathroom is sleek and modern

    https://i.imgur.com/7Tlc0ZX.png

    And the green nature theme continues the couple's bedroom

    https://i.imgur.com/WkIdt8Q.png

    https://i.imgur.com/Pizrvq9.png

    And onto their balcony

    https://i.imgur.com/5xM6Hkn.png

    Jemima's room is no different with nature and animals all around her

    https://i.imgur.com/vU1W3dQ.png

    https://i.imgur.com/vzAFAO1.png

    Finally let's see their garden...

    https://i.imgur.com/Qwc4b0K.png

    They have plenty of space for all of their various outdoor activities, including raising chickens and gardening...

    https://i.imgur.com/sAFQfja.png

    Flower arranging and insect housing...

    https://i.imgur.com/rG26lkq.png

    And play time for Jemima!

    Here's a look at the floorplan:

    Lot 8 - Originally: Civic Cliffs - Now: 178 Newcrest Boulevard

    Living in this household is Olivia Thomson

    https://i.imgur.com/886rS73.png

    And her many fur babies...

    Pumpkin, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She's loud, loyal and friendly, the perfect fluffy companion

    https://i.imgur.com/iwdrCPp.png

    Teddy, a rescue mixed breed who is fluffy, mischievous and clever: he's one to watch!

    https://i.imgur.com/JflxizZ.png

    Nicky (left) and Lila (Right), who were also rescued together. As you can see, they're incredibly close! Nicky is a mixed breed who is skittish, lazy and very spoiled. Lila is an American Wirehair who loves food, is frisky and playful.

    https://i.imgur.com/2caR2JF.png

    And finally is Shadow, a Japanese Bobtail. Shadow is clever, affectionate and a hunter, always bringing Olivia lovely gifts.

    https://i.imgur.com/m4fVI3O.png

    And now let's take a look at their home...

    This exterior is originally by dayafterdaysims :smile:

    https://i.imgur.com/1DbGlwx.png

    As soon as you enter the house you can see how loved the fur babies are, as so much of the house is dedicated to them!

    https://i.imgur.com/pc2k0eO.png

    https://i.imgur.com/jdFFKlY.png

    The living room includes a very cute bed for our fluffy friends as well as a mini pet sofa. There's also a window sofa where Olivia loves to pamper them all

    https://i.imgur.com/Me8HKhI.png

    https://i.imgur.com/dV6Ji2e.png

    The kitchen is small but perfect for a single person and her pets. There are plenty of food bowls and a handy place to hang Pumpkin's lead between walks

    https://i.imgur.com/4yhDPhW.png

    Plus a small dining area for when Olivia has guests

    https://i.imgur.com/PkCDdPu.png

    At the top of the stairs is a small sofa perfect for person or pet

    https://i.imgur.com/1OU25bS.png

    As well as Olivia's bedroom

    https://i.imgur.com/hE93ibv.png

    Which has a wide door leading out to a balcony, a small dog bed for Pumpkin (or the cats if they get there first!) and an ensuite bathroom

    https://i.imgur.com/i75B2su.png

    https://i.imgur.com/qtrhNnu.png

    And in the other bedroom is a whole room for the cats and Pumpkin to spend their time!

    There is a climbing wall, a small lockable pen for when Olivia is getting jobs done and needs the kitties locked away...

    https://i.imgur.com/uamrhaF.png

    As well as some dog beds and extra food bowls (because who wants to go all the way downstairs for food?)

    https://i.imgur.com/8oWXQWZ.png

    There is also a small area for bathing the pets, which really just shows the commitment that Olivia has gone to to make this room purrfect!

    https://i.imgur.com/kqvlKh7.png

    Outside is a small dog house for Pumpkin when she wants to escape her 4 feline siblings, and some training equipment

    https://i.imgur.com/p2b93U4.png

    https://i.imgur.com/6VzxLnd.png

    I had so much fun building this one, especially being able to designate a whole bedroom to the pets! I hope you like it as much as I do! Next up is another multiple household lot, so be sure to check back in for that!

    Lot 9 - Originally: Hillside Highlands - Now: 179-180 Newcrest Boulevard

    Back again with lot 4 in our second neighbourhood! It's another multiple households lot, and this one is a little different as I wanted to play around with some occult sims! Let's meet them...

    Living at number 179 is the Bennett family...

    This family is made up of Mother Meredith Bennett, a powerful spellcaster who leans to the side of good, is a perfectionist, but can be hotheaded.

    https://i.imgur.com/GQeCHsZ.png

    And her daughter, Evangeline Bennett, a creative romantic.

    https://i.imgur.com/BZTSWWE.png

    Living next door at 180 is the Petrovo family...

    Pieter Petrovo is a very old vampire who loves art, is a perfectionist and also hotheaded

    https://i.imgur.com/i0R6N5C.png

    And his "son" Sebastian Petrovo, also a vampire, who leans to the side of good and is often gloomy about his existence as a vampire. Sebastian is not truly Pieter's son, but was saved and turned into a vampire by Pieter long ago during a war.

    https://i.imgur.com/o9FGqQ2.png

    There is, of course, always a twist when two families like this live next door to each other...

    https://i.imgur.com/k1RkbQK.png

    Let's check out where they live... (this exterior is originally by RealThomasTV1)

    https://i.imgur.com/k4CmJJM.png

    First let's look at number 179, the home of the Bennett spellcasters

    As soon as you step inside you can see how light and flowy the Bennett's have styled their home, reflecting their relationship with nature

    https://i.imgur.com/1nqmlEZ.png

    Their living room is very light and open with green nature themed decor

    https://i.imgur.com/41U8tX8.png

    Their kitchen is where you truly get your first taste that they are occult sims, with a very spellcaster-vibe kitchen

    https://i.imgur.com/eFCeN8I.png

    Upstairs there are two bedrooms, the first belonging to Meredith

    https://i.imgur.com/ovwHDPx.png

    https://i.imgur.com/dOeYvni.png

    https://i.imgur.com/JqDrmGi.png

    And the other belonging to Evangeline (peep the photo of Sebastian she has placed on the dresser, with a spell on it that changes to a photo of a tree when anyone else looks!)

    https://i.imgur.com/iY6Jb6C.png

    https://i.imgur.com/fi8O9f6.png

    https://i.imgur.com/yZNPExH.png

    Finally there is a small ladder in the hallway which leads down to their basement with everything a spellcaster needs

    https://i.imgur.com/jmtOmwN.png

    https://i.imgur.com/rfXQ1dJ.png

    https://i.imgur.com/3lgYnkU.png

    And that's 179! Let's now check out 180, the home of the Petrovo family.

    The entryway immediately shows you that the occupants of the home prefer darker tones, victorian decor and nothing modern

    https://i.imgur.com/mmiRjNt.png

    The living room consists of a grand fireplace and sofa

    https://i.imgur.com/qm0DcNA.png

    As well as a pipe organ which Pieter enjoys playing, and a kitchen though Pieter can no longer eat human food due to being a vampire for so long, while Sebastian only eats small amounts to maintain his tolerance

    https://i.imgur.com/E5HJpIn.png

    The bathroom has very gothic victorian vibes

    https://i.imgur.com/gliP0rq.png

    The first bedroom upstairs belongs to Pieter, though he rarely sleeps in it, instead choosing to sleep in a much more comfortable coffin

    https://i.imgur.com/CvuQtgs.png

    https://i.imgur.com/lDbrxkm.png

    And the other belongs to Sebastian, who does opt to sleep in a human bed

    https://i.imgur.com/wzIa3mN.png

    He has photos above his desk of his parents, who are unfortunately long passed, and a painting of Evangeline, which inspires him while writing his poetry

    https://i.imgur.com/fLwnY4u.png

    Finally their basement is filled with relics from the decades and centuries of exploring the world

    https://i.imgur.com/bfXRX2p.png

    As well as a coffin where Pieter sleeps

    https://i.imgur.com/4CttUg1.png

    And that's their homes! I hope you enjoyed! I wanted to experiment with the occult packs as I haven't played with them in a long time :smile: Next up is the final home in this neighbourhood, and the final residential home overall!

    Lot 10 - Originally: Optimist's Outlook - Now: 181 Newcrest Boulevard

    Our last residential lot and last household in our second neighbourhood. Let's meet the family...

    This house belong to Simon Falkner, an ambitious perfectionist and his wife, Cathy Falkner, who is outgoing and family oriented.

    https://i.imgur.com/tuice8p.png

    They have big hearts and a big house, so they decided to begin fostering. Their first foster child was Cameron Grant, a loner foodie who dreams of becoming a master chef. He has lived with Cathy and Simon since he was a child and they are now in the process of formally adopting him!

    https://i.imgur.com/hj7lqyW.png

    They have fostered many children since then and currently have 5 other foster children in their home...

    Lina Osbourne, a hot-headed music lover who dreams of becoming a rock star

    https://i.imgur.com/Xl4DABn.png

    And her younger sister Katie Osbourne, a charming young girl who has a small habit of stealing items (we're working on it...)

    https://i.imgur.com/1Zhn4gV.png

    There's also Maia Hudson, an often gloomy but very bright child

    https://i.imgur.com/25tBVRL.png

    And finally siblings Kai and Lily Johnson. Kai is a clingy toddler who is very attached to Cathy and doesn't like to leave his sister's side. Lily is a sensitive infant but Kai is excellent at keeping her calm and happy.

    https://i.imgur.com/s2GJ11E.png

    https://i.imgur.com/J7Ts4vU.png

    Let's take a look around their home...

    This lot is originally by honeymaysims :smile:

    https://i.imgur.com/k6UDExD.png

    The entryway gives off light and open space with archways leading to the rest of the house

    https://i.imgur.com/VCvppn9.png

    https://i.imgur.com/U87j6by.png

    The living room contains a reading nook with a fireplace and bookshelf wall

    https://i.imgur.com/Ei6SDDY.png

    A sitting area with a TV and unit for storage

    https://i.imgur.com/KKGQPmS.png

    And a small reading area for the children too

    https://i.imgur.com/e18XV3o.png

    There is a small downstairs office Simon and Cathy use for work, as well as a small drawing desk for the children to use alongside them

    https://i.imgur.com/Mmbzyh4.png

    A small family bathroom is also downstairs

    https://i.imgur.com/xW9ZodB.png

    The kitchen is light and open with plenty of space for cooking for the full house

    https://i.imgur.com/IK6SIkr.png

    With a breakfast bar big enough for 4 which is perfect for school mornings

    https://i.imgur.com/5fsBcLj.png

    And a coffee station and snack bar because fuel is always needed!

    https://i.imgur.com/rzxwxm9.png

    The dining room hosts family dinners and important talks, so has a neutral and light vibe

    https://i.imgur.com/wQvILzF.png

    https://i.imgur.com/IkOqicM.png

    By the back door is a small mud room where the children keep their shoes and there are plenty of spare backpacks for them to take to school or visits

    https://i.imgur.com/zmDd3iw.png

    And there is also a small storage space that Cathy keeps well stocked with essentials like towels, toiletries and books which the children can help themselves to - it's great for new arrivals who may not have what they need!

    https://i.imgur.com/77yv117.png

    Downstairs there is also a utility room which is always busy with 8 loads of washing to do!

    https://i.imgur.com/AP820aN.png

    Finally for downstairs is Simon and Cathy's bedroom - they opted to have their bedroom downstairs so it provided them with some privacy at night but was also easily accessible if any of the children needed them

    https://i.imgur.com/xRtIfQP.png

    https://i.imgur.com/iRXmd9c.png

    Upstairs we start in Cameron's room, which is more decorated with colours due to how long he's been living there.

    https://i.imgur.com/da3b6VY.png

    And the teenager's rooms have their own en suite for that little bit of extra privacy

    https://i.imgur.com/6RM2Zt5.png

    The rest of the rooms are themed with gender-neutral white or green with splashes of colour so they are ready for any child who may arrive. The other teenager in the house, Lina, has her own room also with an en suite bathroom

    https://i.imgur.com/AgveP3S.png

    https://i.imgur.com/MZIks4L.png

    https://i.imgur.com/e1MWkgV.png

    The children's room has 2 beds and is currently shared by Katie and Maia

    https://i.imgur.com/26XaizI.png

    https://i.imgur.com/fE6Pexr.png

    And the nursery is currently kitted out for 2 infants, though both cots convert into toddler beds which is what Kai is currently sleeping in

    https://i.imgur.com/cldeN6E.png

    https://i.imgur.com/WrEFyIF.png

    There is another shared family bathroom upstairs which, due to having a shower rather than a bath, is mainly used by the children

    https://i.imgur.com/3WiUafl.png

    There is also a small balcony looking out onto the back of the house which currently has an art easel, telescope and bench for the children to enjoy

    https://i.imgur.com/ThXwo4z.png

    And finally the garden is full of bikes

    https://i.imgur.com/fBQz4TF.png

    Toys...

    https://i.imgur.com/t1HKe5b.png

    And even a pool, which all of the children enjoy during the summer time

    https://i.imgur.com/LLNFtoN.png

    Floorplan:

    https://i.imgur.com/Y5T806V.png

    https://i.imgur.com/Z6KmOP4.png

    I really loved building this house and exploring the world of a family with foster children, meaning I tried to keep the bedrooms neutral and add plenty of fun and enjoyable spaces around the house for different ages to all enjoy. I hope you liked it!

    That's all of the residential lots in Newcrest now! Next I'll give you a tour of the final neighbourhood which is full of different types of lots and introduce the people who own them!

    Sorry for the delay! I wanted to finish the neighbourhood before I started posting. Here's the final neighbourhood: Lagoon Promenade!

    Lot 11 - Originally: Asphalt Abodes - Now: The Pawsome Vet Clinic and Kennels

    First up let's meet the owners! Sisters Clara and Stephanie inherited this house from a relative and decided to pursue their passion for animal care by turning it into a vet clinic and kennel.

    Clara has always had a passion for caring for animals and attended Britechester University to study veterinary science. She became a vet and worked at various vet clinics before opening up her own.

    https://i.imgur.com/zdJY9SH.png

    Her younger sister Stephanie has also always loved animals, and runs the kennel side. She is also studying and apprenticing at the clinic to become a vet too.

    https://i.imgur.com/FqCkcXe.png

    Now let's look around the place!

    This exterior is originally by winnietopiaa :smile:

    https://i.imgur.com/uKMpAWF.png

    When you enter the clinic there is a waiting room with plenty of places to sit

    https://i.imgur.com/q5Davqt.png

    There's also a desk to check in and a machine to check yourself in for pre-booked appointments

    https://i.imgur.com/BlQXYTj.png

    There's also two fully stocked vending machines for all of your pet treat needs!

    https://i.imgur.com/gjem47Q.png

    Then we enter the two rooms on the vet side of the building

    https://i.imgur.com/RsXqdMS.png

    The consultation room where the animals are checked out

    https://i.imgur.com/sehV2c1.png

    https://imgur.com/a/OzJ3Uwi

    And the treatment room which has an x-ray machine as well as a recovery bed for those pets who need to stay in for a little extra monitoring

    https://i.imgur.com/YvG3PKs.png

    On the other side is the kennels with 7 fenced in spots for the furry guests to sleep

    https://i.imgur.com/ezf78XR.png

    There are 3 spots for dogs complete with beds, bowls and speakers which play soothing music to help them settle and sleep

    https://i.imgur.com/a5aZUfd.png

    And 4 spots for cats with beds, scratching posts and litter boxes

    https://i.imgur.com/SuMixJ3.png

    While the pets sleep in here they spend the vast majority of their days exploring the building and the fenced in yard

    https://i.imgur.com/J5Rpc47.png

    https://i.imgur.com/Th0OiGx.png

    https://i.imgur.com/mzvHbnc.png

    On the porch there is also a cat house for them to play on

    https://i.imgur.com/tE6RUCX.png

    As well as a quiet seating area for families to sit and wait for their pets or to process news

    https://i.imgur.com/xMij8gJ.png

    Upstairs there is a small apartment where Stephanie often sleeps while caring for the animals staying overnight - Clara also stays on occasion to give Stephanie a night off, and they also have a number of other staff members who help out

    https://i.imgur.com/2wWP8Eb.png

    https://i.imgur.com/OAkVkCa.png

    https://i.imgur.com/WKjYBkR.png

    Lot 12 - Originally: Tranquil Crescent - Now: Newcrust Restaurant

    The Newcrust Restaurant is owned and run by the Rossi family

    Vincenzo Rossi is an ambitious, hot-headed perfectionist who loves his family and runs his business like a tight ship

    https://i.imgur.com/uEwwv0t.png

    His wife Maria is family oriented and a big foodie. She creates the recipes and menus for the restaurant and often jumps into the kitchen herself to prepare some of her specialties

    https://i.imgur.com/2M4HolH.png

    The couple have two children - a teenage daughter Francesca, a creative and cheerful girl who often helps out at the restaurant after school but dreams of becoming an artist

    https://i.imgur.com/AmndFkS.png

    And their youngest child is a son called Mateo, who is very smart and loves school, often sitting at the restaurant to do his homework

    Let's look around the restaurant!

    This lot is originally by ellacase19

    There are plenty of tables to dine at and there is plenty of privacy for more intimate meals

    https://i.imgur.com/wVn5OtI.png

    https://i.imgur.com/q6sQ821.png

    Towards the back of the restaurant there is a bar where you can sit and drink while you wait for a table or if you don't fancy a bite to eat

    https://i.imgur.com/FEvu5E9.png

    https://i.imgur.com/vUT67TQ.png

    The kitchen is clean and simple, the focus being on the food that's made there

    https://i.imgur.com/hEVhAen.png

    There is also a private room that can be rented for events

    https://i.imgur.com/oLVHXxS.png

    There are also two doors

    https://i.imgur.com/TLawD5S.png

    One leads to the staff room - The Rossi family care very much about their staff and like to make sure they have a super comfy room to relax in during their breaks

    https://i.imgur.com/WPYHEn4.png

    https://i.imgur.com/MSq7JeR.png

    The other leads to a small apartment where Vincenzo sometimes sleeps over while working

    Lot 13 - Originally: Avarice Acres - Now: Crestmont Shopping District

    This lot is a retail lot with 4 stores to browse. Each store has an owner and a story.

    The original lot is by @Nikkamore :smile:

    https://i.imgur.com/rVzmk5K.png

    Let's meet the shop owners and look around their stores!

    The first shop is owned by Jo Holden, an outgoing and creative romantic. She opened this bridal shop just over a year ago and has already served many happy brides!

    https://i.imgur.com/tBZdoCX.png

    Her store, Jo's Bridal, is the first shop as you enter the small district

    https://i.imgur.com/yzGDDrf.png

    With ever changing window displays keeping up to date with the most popular bridal trends

    https://i.imgur.com/aLPg11k.png

    Inside Jo has a few more of the most in-fashion dresses on display, as well as more in storage and catalogues to be brought in and tried on at the bride's request

    https://i.imgur.com/qtJRHqz.png

    There is a dressing room where the bride to be and her bridesmaids can try on different gowns while the others sit on the comfy sofa enjoying some complimentary cupcakes and champagne

    https://i.imgur.com/v0knfA6.png

    There is also a display of jewelry and shoes to match any wedding theme

    https://i.imgur.com/u4qcCAR.png

    And a table full of catalogues, fabric swatches and business cards of other wedding vendors

    https://i.imgur.com/D1Jl6Wn.png

    What a beautiful store!

    The next store is owned by Richard Davidson, a sweet and kind goofball who never outgrew his childish side (and why should he!)

    He owns We R Toys

    Which sells a wide variety of things! Most importantly, of course, are toys!

    You can get a wide range of collectibles, toys for infants, toddlers, children and, well, any age!

    Upstairs Richard also sells a few important clothing items including school uniforms for Newcrest Academy and also football jersey's in Newcrest colours

    You can also pick up anything you'd need for school with backpacks and lunchboxes, and some very cute plates and cups for when your little ones are starting to explore solid foods!

    You'll also find walkers, rocking horses, various artwork...

    And a few other furniture items

    What a range of items!

    The next store is The Studio, owned by the wealthy Dorsey family and currently run by daughter Aria

    The studio is, you guessed it, a store that sells artwork from local artists!

    Aria Dorsey sells her own artwork here too, as well as networking with other artists and choosing the perfect pieces to display and sell at the store.
    Above the store is a studio apartment where Aria currently lives - it's small and has just the essentials, but with Aria travelling a lot to network, it's ideal for her

    What a great gig she's got!

    The final store in the district is Tea @ Two, a cafe owned and run by couple James and Samira Kingston

    The couple have only recently opened the cafe and it's been quite a time crunch to do so, as Samira is currently pregnant with their first child!

    The cafe has rustic and homely vibes perfect for a quiet catch up or a relax after a long day of shopping

    There is a small on-site kitchen where Samira prepares many of the cakes and goodies herself

    As well as a small apartment upstairs that James set up for the couple while they were busy working on renovations: not having to travel back to their home in San Sequoia each evening was ideal

    The rest of the loft above the cafe is currently empty, but Samira dreams of being able to expand the cafe or turn it into a rental space, either for events or into its own apartment - but that will have to wait until after baby Kingston makes an appearance!

    And that's all of the retail lots here! I wanted to build on a bigger lot for this but I think I managed to get most of the 'important' retail spaces into this smaller lot!
