Mansion Building

So I am building a mansion for my female sim while my male sim is living in a small 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom house. I figured, I should update you guys on the building of the mansion. I will do this gradually as my female sim gets paid more and gets more satisfaction points. Once she gets the Frugal reward trait, I will be able to do it faster.

Here is what I have of the Mansion so far, basics but my sim couldn't afford much after I made her spacious first floor.

  • It is going well in the game. My sim now has a chess table and a guitar in her bedroom. She also is working on a lab room and I am putting her microscope prints on the walls of the lab room. She also has a garden. To keep her from having mass deaths, I have her only growing flowers at the moment. Most plant deaths I have had within a sim day is 4. Flowers are also how she is earning thousands of simoleons. She is getting close to getting similar pay at work to what she gets from the flowers. She is also working on building a rocket in her backyard. I suspect that within a few sim weeks, she will be able to collect metals, geodes, and other collectables from alien worlds.

    Here are the 2 pictures I took today:

    And just so you know, it is night right now for my sim, I just use the day/night toggle to get daytime photos because during the day, my sim is very busy and I focus on her needs.

    @tg9999 I looked at that photo of yours and wow, it looks like a Queen's bathroom.
  • It is great that your sim now has a guitar and chess table in her bedroom :) She would be enjoying playing the guitar and having fun playing chess. Her flower garden along the edges of the home is very nice. The flowers are a great way for her to earn simoleons. I hope that her work on the Rocket continues to go well :)
  • It is great that you are building a mansion for your female sim :) The first floor layout looks very nice. I will look forward to seeing updates on your build :)
  • Good luck playing and creating a mansion; will be interesting to see the final result and the WIPs along the way although it will be a long process :) I don't have the patience to build this way!
  • write here how it's going today in your game, I'm curious:) your bathroom layout is interesting, I like it!

    good luck:)
  • @Caters your bathroom layout was inspiration for my photo, I wouldn't create it myself:) one of my early game mistakes was lack of concentration area that can be achieved with microscope prints or some other things. Another way for making concentration pictures is having observatory and get prints of space. Apparently you avoided making my mistakes in this area:) For some reason my concentration decorations counted as second decorations adding another +3 to happiness (making it total +6) instead of concentration, here is how it look like (messages are in Polish very similar for nice decorations, and for some reason there is no +3 to concentration, but another +3 to happiness)

    but I always had chess in concentration room and I was making short chess games (10 minutes in game) to get +2 concentration before other activities. Result was that all sims were very concentrated during all their works. Your "family":) seems easier to maintain than mine, I had 8 adults since beginning, it was working nice with trait adding interest rate, but needed a lot of micromanagement in first game stages, to make them all having good moods before work etc.
