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

I am posting again as things have changed quite a bit.

I have only had an hour or two a day to build.
This house has change drastically from the original TS3 design.
https://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/Screenshot-3718.jpg

And from the pre-ROM build.
https://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f116/cireking213/The%20Sims%204/09-08-19_9-20-29nbspPM.png

It is currently at this stage of development.

This house is going to take a while to finish.
I keep embellishing on the design. I have decided that I will go full symmetry on the design.

I will add another section on the room on the right to mirror the one on the left.
I will also add a greenhouse to the deck in the center.

I need to put some sims in here to see how the alchemy room performs.

I'm glad I did too.
I found out that my staircase didn't work. I must have had the moveobjects cheats active when I placed them
I removed them and put them back. Now they work.

My sim made it up to the master bedroom.

EA has some wonky wall textures.
The corner stones don't on this home when you are not playing it

Even when you are playing it some stone caps don't show depending on how the room is constructed.
I wish they would just offer multiple variations of the textures instead of automating them.

Anyway, I now know the final direction for this home.
I am going to have sims live there for a while to work out all the bugs and make a livable home.

@CK213 I never played TS3 so I'm fascinated by your history album. And super jealous of that little castle mailbox? looking thingie. And then how cool to see the difference made by switching out to the ROM items. Your cauldron room styled in black is absolutely stunning.

@Dianesims All your builds are great! The mix-and-match furniture is really working in that sun porch. And adding a cat just makes a screenshot better. In fact there's one on my lap now as I'm trying to ty

Also working on an alchemist house, but I am waiting for the new build/buy mode stuff from the pack to finish it. I want to use the stained glass windows to build a greenhouse.

I love this so much, especially the roof work!

As a builder I've been obsessed with the Realm of Magic ever since it launched. In between smaller magical builds I've been working on the HUGE Mystics Manor. I've created a dedicated post to it as there will be sooooo many rooms, which you can find here . So far I've done the ballroom, the entrance hall, the drawing room, the library and the study. Once it's done I'll upload it to the gallery.
