Hi peoples!Since ROM releases in a few days, I'm really curious to see what builds (houses, apartments, rooms, etc.) my fellow simmers have been prepping. Please feel free to share them here! I'm still working on mine but once I'm happy with it I'll share my pics too. Happy simming!!

I made a restaurant that specializes in serving the occult. This is an older version of it, though. The one in-game has improved landscaping, better roof design, a remodeled and resized dining area, and a different veranda. It might have its own patio area for outdoor dining one day, not sure yet.I also plan on building a magic school in Windenburg, an orphanage in Glimmerbrook, and a potion shop in Brindleton Bay.

I've been building and rebuilding my Sorcerer's Tower for a couple of years now.https://i.pinimg.com/originals/10/ab/1a/10ab1a4ed533a705e92e930939729c92.pngStill a work in progress. but this is sort of how I envisioned it. the tower has always been the focal point for the build since the top floor(s) of the tower are where my sims Kaegan and Daerick Practice magic. The "Large Cottege" Part of the house, is inspired by my Elder Scroll's Online Character's Home, The Gardner House. Where the Living room, dining room and Kaegan's Bedroom is, and on the other side of the tower is Daerick's bedroom and the kitchen.So while I build Daerick and Kaegan are currently staying with their royal friends Castle.(The Front of the castle isn't built yet either (Can't decide what I want) So I'm going to show the back of the castle... very far away.https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d9/36/4c/d9364ce1f788388b14c18335bbc6a795.pngWhere the tower is (The East Wing) is Kaegan and Daerick's and the Mage's of Briarheart Hangout area is in the castle (The royal family had a Library built for them to practice and do research. The Knights of Briarheart Have the Feast Hall and War Room in the West Wing (Not built yet).and the Royal Family Has the South Wing over the foyer entrance, but I can't decide what I want the front of the castle to look like either. and in the north wing (The large part of the build 3 floors combined into one room) is the throne room.Sigh, I wish we could build instead of 4 1/2 floors above ground, we could build 5 1/2- 7 1/2 floors above ground o:) I'd probably have finished by now if we could.This is the library under the tower room, Freshly built and furnished.https://i.pinimg.com/originals/8f/1b/cb/8f1bcb711648e952e28e414b5ef474dc.pngI'm thinking to put the cauldron in that open space where the blue carpet is. I was going to put a Portrait in the frame over the fireplace of the Mage's Club Leader, or a portrait of the King, Maybe a Mirror... But Now I think I'll replace it with shelves to store potions. Or where those two middle book shelves are I might create a potions case...Pending on how the stained glass looks with my builds I might swap out some out. but Get together, romantic garden and Vampires, and CC are heavily influencing my builds as of now.Edit:Images weren't showing up

I've been adding basements to some of my favorite houses that don't already have them, to have room for my spellcasters' sanctums. I've also got a template save that has Strangerville as a location for most of the community venues, so I took the three houses on the bluff and moved them to Newcrest; I think they make great spellcaster houses (I may end up moving one of them to Glimmerbrook). I've currently got about three different storylines I want to play with, so I think I'll be using this pack more than others.

I love it too. I was hoping Realm of Magic would Bring in more of a Medieval Renaissance-Victorian era Outfits.I wish it didn't alter the bust tho... You can't wear necklaces which stinks because I know the Outfit would look good with a jewelry set I found.https://strangestorytellersims.tumblr.com/post/181704701168/barebara2020s-cakeskirt-dress-recolor-by-ssts

Just spent an hour or so playing around.....I haven't decorated the inside yet. I think I'll wait for the new BB for that. And I may change the windows and doors too. I made Higganbotham House for Vivica.

My WIP :) I'm very pleased with the roof, but struggling with the interior layout. Will have to wait until ROM is finally out anyway, so I can use all the new build/buy objects. I'll figure it out then! I'll try tinkering with the landscaping in the meantime.

I look forward to using the portals from the stream in future builds. Being able to get around without stairs could be a lot of fun.

My build is caleed Magic Meadows and is on the Gallery under my ID: Beckablitz
I originally built it for some fairy play hence the colour but the interior is suitable for ROM as well as a fairy. No MOO. No CC.

Heres the shell of my cottage build. Waiting to add doors, windows, and furnish when the pack drops.

I want to recreate my TS3 version of the Lovegood house.

I built it when The Sims 3: Supernatural came out.

It's going to be a little different in The Sims 4.
I will be replacing all the windows and doors with ones from Realm of Magic.

No spiral stairs this time, but at least custom stairs is allowing me to build it.

I still have a ways to go.
I don't have any sims that will use it right away, so there is no rush to have it done.

I can't stop working on it.

I am having issues with the basement tool screwing up the terrain,

So I am adding on a room off the building for magical and alchemy activities. Which means a bigger lot.
I moved the lot to Forgotten Hollow. I think I like this better anyway.

I was also having issues with stacking custom stairs above two levels.
I had to figure out a workaround.

I am liking it more and more as I add more details.
I don't have any sims for this house. I think I might create a sim or two to live here and explore ROM before having my other sims use the pack.

Another Update.
It's evolving. I'm just going to make it a much bigger place to make use of the large lot in Glimmerbrook.

It's too much Gothic/Victorian or whatever now. It will make a full Art Nouveau transformation when I get ROM.
