IllusoryThrall's Builds Showcase - New 5/15

Rough N Ready 4 Seasons
A gorgeous house designed with minimal pack usage and no CC. The outside may be a little plain, but the inside is definitely not. Built for my #buildapack challenge. Themed furnishings mostly from seasons, but a few things from the laundry pack and a couple wall pieces from parenthood. Plenty of room for a growing family on a small lot, from the downstairs family room to the lovely front sunroom and the greenhouse in the back.

Spooky Day Manor
This is probably my favorite build.. ever. I love the way it turned out.

Impressive manor home themed for Vampire or eccentric mortal alike. Bathroom for each bedroom and a half bath on the ground floor. Fully furnished with minimal pack usage and no CC. Built for my #buildapack challenge. #spookystuff #vampires #vampire Basement holds some coffins for extra bedrooms. Re-uploaded to get rid of the toddler pack requirement. Silly toy box.

It is great that you have set up a showcase thread for your builds :) Each of your homes are very nice!
Rough N Ready 4 Seasons is a very nice family home! :) It is nice that there is a greenhouse for Sims to enjoy growing plants indoors, sheltered from the seasonal conditions. Very nice area for Sims to enjoy doing flower arranging, woodworking or painting on the easel. The layout of the interior looks very nice.
The exterior designs and layouts of Spooky Day Manor and Glass Gardens Laboratory look so very great! :) The towers, roofing and grey brick exterior wall texture in Spooky Day Manor gives such a great look to the build! The outdoors curved balconies are very nice. Very nice design of the interior. It is great that there is a basement where vampires can enjoy sleeping in the coffins!
The exterior design and layout of Glass Gardens Laboratory is so very creatively! :) The greenery in the walls and the grass textured flooring looks very nice. It is great that there is a laboratory in the build. Sims will enjoy using the science machines there. It is great that an observatory is on the roof level.
Happy simming and building! :)

@rosemow Thanks! I've been very inspired to build lately, so there's a bunch more that I have in the process of decoration that will be posted soon.

Glass Gardens was very nearly deleted because the outside of it was so weird. A friend of mine convinced me that since I'd spent so much time on it already, I might as well decorate it, and it has become one of my nicer builds. I had initially planned on making it a summer-themed modern home with the infinity pools, but the scientist idea came from my friend and was total inspiration.

Spooky Day Manor was so much fun to build. I basically plopped a bunch of octagonal rooms around the lot and played connect the dots with them. I was amazed at how awesome it turned out.

@illusorythrall, you have been on a roll lately. As I told you before, I really like them. I especially love Spooky Day Manor with all the towers.
And Glass Gardens Laboratory is very creative!

@illusie Thanks! Both were really fun to build.

I uploaded three more builds today... and somehow, I still have six shells to decorate. :confounded:
