Carl´s Houses And Lots

Hello :) It is great that you are making over Oasis Springs to be like Strangerville! The home that you have posted pictures of is very nice! The exterior design is lovely and very nice wraparound porch. The open shutter windows are great,The landscaping, flowers and plants through the outdoors area are very nice! The water garden with pretty flowers in the water is lovely!

Thank you @rosemow for the nice comment!

@ eufl: sorry, I can't let this one go: 1) a PINK DINER *screams* omg lol it's amazing :D 2) I do, really really hope that bathrooms smells as fresh as it looks xD

Your Diner is lovely! :) Very nice exterior design and the roofing is great! The cactus and plants garden beds are very nice. The diner themed signage looks great! Very lovely furnishing of the interior! The pink and red colour scheme is very nice,and the coloured hanging ceiling lights are pretty. Very nice dining tables area near the windows for sims to enjoy eating meals with nice outdoors views. They will enjoy sitting on the stools having a drink from the bar.

Thank you, @DeanXeL and @rosemow for the friendly words!

Your Chateau family home is very lovely! :) The exterior design is very grand and very lovely furnishing of the interior! The staircases are grand! The layout is very nice! It is a very detailed home! The outdoors areas are also very lovely! :)

Nooo! I can’t believe my comment did not actually get posted!

Here was my comment about the diner. This is not verbatim but it was as DeanXeL commented. I love how fresh the diner looks (well, as far as deserts allow lol) with its cool minty (?? sorry am colorblind) exterior, lush vegetation, and art deco frieze. Also loving how you contrasted it completely with the soft pink interiors and dainty lamps. Love how you somehow found use of the JTB items! Also this is embarrassing, but as a guy, I can’t believe how I could not have thought of finding urinal cc! I modded my game so guys and masculine Sims don’t sit on the toilet, but this is a far more superior approach.

Also I have to say all your chateaux are lovely! My main game is a fanfiction—oh gosh, now I’m really embarrassed—of Princess Cordelia’s great great great great granddaughter or something. I built several chateaux too for my setting but in comparison to yours, they all feel stiff and formal. I am sooo jealous that you managed to fit all you want in your Chateau Dingsbum! You have a servant house, a realistic basement access, a swimming pool, and even made space for some modern amenities. I can’t even put a TV in mine.

@rosemow and @orenjiAi , thank you so much for your nice comments.

Both your Farmhouse and Queen Anne style WIPS are very lovely! :) The exterior designs are very nice! The roofing and the porches on both homes are very nicely designed ! The architecture of the Queen Anne is beautiful! The plants, flowers and trees that you have used for the farmhouse build looks very lovely! The attic of the barn looks great!
I hope your work on your WIPS continue to go well :)

Hi @eufl! Thanks for checking out my builds! Told ya they feel stiff. Like you’re a relic living in a museum. Not fun lol.

Lore is something in the OG games that I think TS4 could use more of. So when I noticed the consistent Princess Cordelia backstory in the “Queen Anne” furniture style, I went ahead and jumped in! Fun fact, after seeing your chateau, I got inspired to renovate my own Château de Thebe (the all-white one with the massive formal garden). Its gallery version uses like 6(?) packs and has all these empty attic rooms I could work with. And like you said, if my game is set 200 years after Cordelia’s, it would only make sense if they built a TV and rec room into it over time right? Nope, my reno backfired! The Summer Palace now has a mudroom, a wine cellar, a laundry room, this scary ancient nursery, a new bedroom, and a suite for the governess. It uses 14 packs and CC but still no TV in sight! Lol

Lovely WIP’s as usual! What’s your Origin ID? We seem to share similar interests over architectural styles and build techniques :) I’m a sucker for realism in the game, and I very much enjoy how your work looks like something you’d find in real life. I love what you did with the farmhouse especially the barn. The attic looks very realistic. And the landscaping too, is lush and lovely. Your Victorian home wouldn’t be amiss in the Shady Acres neighborhood. Except yours is built better than the premades :D

Edit: I figured out my whole TV situation! :) Using the TOOL mod, I made this.
