I just grabbed my tablet and took a quick shot of it as I'm on console and my privacy settings are OTT lol.
I'm still working on the interior which is very floral and eclectic.
This is what I've done with the Chieftains Villa in Sulani. It took about 20hours to complete. It's for a celebrity Sim who completed the making millions scenario by surviving on a desert island. I figured she'd earned it.

@simsplayer818 , I love both of your builds! I've never seen Encanto, but that building is right up my alley! ๐ Maybe I should see the movie! I can't wait to see the interior!
Do you plan on uploading this in the future? Is the Chieftain's Villa on the Gallery? (I really should have asked this for all of the Sims posted on this thread, but since i'm not the best builder, I'm always on the lookout for buildings I can put into my game! ๐ )
@xochiquetzl_xkvn nice work on the "plastic surgery" you gave Nancy and Geoffrey's daughter!๐ She still looks like herself, but not so rough around the edges, as many Sims end up looking when we age them up from children! (the new Alexander Goth comes to mind! ๐ฑ๐ ) - simsplayer8183 years agoHero@PugLove888 Thanks, I was being careful not to infringe any copyright so made my own interpretation. It's a beautiful film (tissues, just saying, many tissues) the house is a character of it's own which is a living thing, it's the beating heart. I haven't uploaded any to the gallery as they are so content heavy and use most packs. It sometimes can be frustrating I think when you add a gallery lot and chunks of it get removed. I want to finish my Casita today as I have a new console to try a different game on weekends. I'll add my Sim, Lyra Aguirre next week and I think Lyra may adopt a toddler too as Casita in the film is a safe haven it literally wraps itself around refugees which I found incredibly moving.
The Landgrabb theme here by @xochiquetzl_xkvn is another inspiring one. I've never played as Landgrabbs! I always steal their house as they feel like a sworn enemy and their lot is perfect for a huge Spanish style mansion coincidentally for the family of Lyra Aguirre which I'll try and add an image of here later. But it's giving me inspiration to maybe give them another house and show them some love. - simsplayer8183 years agoHero@PugLove888 Looks awesome. I just added Moonlight Chic too. It's just the kind of styles I like. I haven't used it yet but I'll be using it to create Lyra to move into Casita.
I particularly love the formal wear you've added there. - PugLove8883 years agoHero
@simsplayer818 , thanks! ๐ I hope you enjoy the Kit! ๐ฅณ You will have to share your pics when you are finished with Lyra! ๐
The dress I used for the Formal dress category is stunning, coming in some solid colors as well as a few ombre's like this one! The back is even more gorgeous, but for some reason I forgot to take a picture.
Update: Here is the back! - simsplayer8183 years agoHero
So this is the downstairs and master bedroom of my Casita. It's very busy and bright and I had to resist my usual wish to have everything matching and symmetrical. The original Casita had a topsy turvy and eclectic energy when I usually like coordination and order.
I've also created my Sim, Lyra who is a kind of boho young adult who writes children's books and crafts and paints. Eventually she will have a kid's retail lot with toys and kids paintings when I've done the work.

I'm playing the Landgraabs partly because I updated their lore in my starter save; I made Johnny Zest Malcolm's brother and Geoffrey and Nancy's son, but then I gave him a bad relationship with Nancy and a slightly better one with Geoffrey, with Johnny have a hurt sentiment towards Nancy and Geoffrey having a guilty sentiment towards Johnny. MCCC gave them a daughter before I marked them played (oops) and then Geoffrey was abducted by aliens... LOL
Even without my changes they're a family with built-in drama, if you want it. Geoffrey is a Secret Agent, Nancy is a Criminal... Geoffrey is good and Malcolm is evil...
@PugLove888 Thank you!

@simsplayer818 , thank you so much for the pictures! Your house is so beautiful! ๐ I see many of my favorites: the Moroccan endtable from the Courtyard Oasis Kit, the piano from My Wedding Stories, the little round stained glass window from Cottage Living, and the couch, endtable, chair , and wallpaper from Decor to the Max! ๐ฅฐ And your Sim is gorgeous as well! I love that top from Laundry Day paired with that skirt I love! ๐ She does look like a creative type! (one of my favorite Sims to make because I can dress them however I want with the excuse that they are creative ! ๐คฃ๐ฅฐ
@xochiquetzl_xkvn , you are so right about the Landgraabs! They are full of drama! ๐ But I like the direction you took with them! ๐ฅณ

This is an image of Lyra in her formal outfit. I wanted her to be quite petite and kind of fairy like and other worldly. It's a shame we can't adjust Sims heights. I'm going to add a beautiful wheaten terrier too before I move her into her new home.
I've added an image of her family's home, brother Cristobal was an NPC from the Jungle Adventure pack that I brought in as an archaeologist who writes books about jungle exploration. He has a kind of rags to riches tale. He travelled every single world with his tent and camp fire, fishing and collecting. He kicked the Landgrabbs out and built his house with alligators in his pond to keep them away! He's now married to a quiet Scottish academic named Saffron with their son Shay plus dogs rescued from the jungle but the image isn't great so I'll leave that out. The house is quite dark inside with a dark wood, navy, jade, black and gold colour pallette and lots of display cases with the artifacts he's recovered on his travels. It has a conservatory with a small indoor pool and lots of tropical greenery. It's a little too dark to get a good image for this. It has a formal living area and formal dining room but also has a family room and they mostly gather in the kitchen anyway. It has 3 bedrooms with four poster beds, 5 bathrooms, a gym, dressing room plus a play room for little Shay. His office is a no go for the family for those dangerous relics, we don't want any accidental skeletal transmogrifications (well not another one anyway!) It took about 25 hours to make.
I'm procrastinating on here as I promised myself I'd focus on a different game I just got (AC) but the Sims tends to lead me astray and being on consoles means wrestling with wires and whatknot to go from one console to another! I'll be dealing with real life dust bunnies!

@simsplayer818 , I missed an earlier post where you were talking about the movie Encanto , since your casita was inspired by it and I mentioned how I hadn't seen the movie. It sounds very sweet! ๐ฅฐ
Lyra is beautiful! ๐น And being a short person, I too wish we could adjust the Sims' heights! ๐ค I've heard that it is very hard to do and usually ends up not looking right, since it is usually just an entire scaled down or scaled up frame, and not just a shortened or lengthened one.
Alligator pond to keep the Landgraabs away! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ The house color palate sounds gorgeous! ๐ And the exterior of the building you showed is fantastic! ๐ฅณ
@Busmover50 , I love your wedding venue, especially since you went all out with the heart theme! ๐ I love that it has a restaurant in it as well ! - 3 years ago@simsplayer818 Very pretty. I like your beach villa build.

This is my kitty clinic. Although, you still get dogs coming in to see the vet. I wanted for cats only but that doesn't work for a commercial building. I saw a pic of a real building like this. It was a daycare I think. I figured out the mechanics of the build and came up with a cat building for my Sims.
- simsplayer8183 years agoHero@Busmover50 Oh wow!!!! That cat building!!!!!

Great build, love that I'm not the only one to utilise glass roofs ๐๐

I'm just finishing this household's story now and I got some images as it looked so cosy in the snow on the Crumbling Isle, which is one of my favourite places to build. This is Windenburg Dock, named because it's right at the water's edge with those beautiful views. I forgot to switch the lights on ๐คฆ so it's a bit dark lol.
I found that those grotto waterfall rocks from Riviera Retreat will go in ponds with the MOO cheat.

Windenberg Dock is a lovely home! @simsplayer818 ๐ It looks very pretty in Wintertime with the snow. The exterior design is very nice and great hot springs and outdoors dining patio. The pond is very nice and great archway entry. The interior furnishing is lovely! Very nice brown and green colours, and great layout. The bedrooms design are very nice and great pets room.
- simsplayer8186 months agoHero@rosemow Thank you! I had to keep finding room for more people as she got married and he moved in with his dog, then they had their baby. Plus all of her knitting projects too lol. ๐งถ
