A while back @rosemow suggesting starting a requests thread after I enjoyed very much taking on a request from @Amiutza. It allowed me to try a build I might never have otherwise. And as I'm certain m...
@Amiutza I finally finished the house you requested haha, furnishing and all! I feel you are going to like it :) The landscaping matches the Baroque style of the house and the interior is in the ultra-modern style. I figured it works quite well as many of those old amazing buildings in Paris are often renovated in the inside with new stuff but maintained in the old styles on the exterior.
I call it When Baroque met Modern. I haven't linked it to the Gallery because there's some pathing I must fix. I took a ton of pictures below haha, if you know of how to fix any of the pathing, please let me know.
@Rumpelstiltskin I can get started on your starter now finally haha :)

Standard view: Here's the first pathing issue. Sims cannot get into either of the two garden nooks. This is the weirdest pathing issue, and I'm not sure what is going on with it. It might be caused by the ground being covered by lily of valley squares, but I know for a fact that sims can walk over this grass. What's even weirder is if I remove one of the lily of the valley squares from under the right arch, then the sim can go and walk to the bench and sit, just 1 square... so weird. https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/907866739ef3017a01366473f31401b586ad1a55c4aaf49986ee7086f3143086b61dd374.jpg

Garden nook with waterfall, one of my favourite parts, took forever to make, but alas sims cannot get to it at the moment haha: https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/956475814faa3dc617fc2f7ee2154acaca48d39365db8065169deef796699a14d26280c6.jpg

Front and rear roof accents, these were definitely my favourite part of the entire build, just adore that European style of building statues into the exterior walls. Can also see the balconies here with a sitting and meditation area, quiet places to get away from all the bustle going on outside. The front accent I call the Winged Ballerina, and the rear the Winged Knight haha (yes I got super excited when I saw an item that could work as wings from Dine Out, and could work as waves! I couldn't decide between wings or waves so now they are wings with ships sailing on them haha): https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/89309484c0c4ce9b1537fffd9073c8d0b276dd949899be1590392403b1881ba8383a7465.jpg
Now for the inside! Which goes to ultra-modern style. First the dining area: https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/9582125956ea9bd9cd74a81c9e0c39109d90bacf2ac14e28907da49f8693e448e2323b18.jpg
The super long kitchen: https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/7664535353c6f6c10c18c64b330401d50cf502bed6f3433ab0a63d50fca48ade027d8961.jpg
The theatre-esque living room. Here's the next patching issue. Sims cannot turn on the tele or sit in the raised chairs. I'm guessing raising a chair with 9/0 makes it unusable so I know how to fix that. My question for the tele is, I built it on the foundation to look cool, but it seems like that means sims cannot use it. Is there a way to make this work? Do I need to build stairs somewhere? It isn't like sims actually walk up to the tele to turn it on, so I'm very confused why pathing matters here. https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/10251024376cc08979062ce387397f0ac96b1e3d0c53d7492a2eb3e2bb7bfa6a6b985dfa.jpg

First floor aerial, decided a colour scheme felt like it fit the modern style haha: https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/645414255425a1e17ebe1c32d727bd050121eb5d95dcadce66f7695c55f9500658506b46.jpg
Children's room, ideal for fraternal twins haha. Or just anyone who likes cute wall bunnies :) https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/33863578d91a9026f715f16c42d79a9390e5ecb79cf05ed540838bdafc8ee0e91121f1a8.jpg
Second floor overview, here's the last pathing issue. Sims cannot seem to move around in the music nook area. It seems to be the circular chandeliers, which is annoying because they fit so well and I didn't want to have to remove them. Any idea why they block pathing being on the ceiling? Also I built windows in the gable accent roofs, but it doesn't seem like there's a way to connect a roof wall with actual walls so that the floor could use those windows. I recall in sims 3 we could do this. Is there a way to do so in sims 4? https://img2.brain4.photobox.com/682246629fedf59c80ed4f1730b69291c73687f4b8151bfa3d4728a5049d650d369a7f0c.jpg
