SimmerNick's Showcase Thread! (NoCC)

Hi everybody! From now on I'll be sharing my newest builds in this thread. I have many more builds up on my YouTube channel (https://goo.gl/PK7vxR) and all of my builds are up on The Gallery (Origin-ID: NickSimsYT). Let's begin, shall we?

This elegant blue Victorian house is for a family of five Sims to live in. The ground floor has a living room with a bay window, a grand dining room and a kitchen with a little nook. There is also a half bathroom on the ground floor. The first floor has four bedrooms and two bathrooms. This build is already up on The Gallery so please check it out!
And let me tell you all: the new patch is amazing! All of the new roofs are fantastic. The new pointers are just amazing!

This cozy home is for a family of four and a cat! Unfortunately a dog bed didn't fit. So technically you could have a dog in this house, but it would have to sleep on the floor or on the couch. Anyway, this house has a beautiful brick fireplace and a big door to the backyard. On the right side of the house there is the possibility for your Sims to barbeque and/or eat dinner outside! I hope that you all like it!

This huge home has eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It is available for one cat and one big dog. It also has a pink toddler bedroom. It is situated on the 64x64 lot in Brindleton Bay. It is already up on The Gallery if you would like to download it. I hope you all will like it!

This cottage has two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It is dogproof I believe, but it doesn't have a dog bed. This is the first time in a while that I'm doing a speed build again and this one is pretty different from what I used to do with speed builds. I hope I can make more speed builds, but I can't guarantee anything. Anyway, I hope that you all will like it!

For my first build of 2018 I wanted to do a build that anyone could download. This house has four bedrooms and four bathrooms. It also has a study, walk-in coat/shoe closet and a garage. The spacious backyard has a wonderful pool. It's already up on The Gallery if you want to download it!

This is a simple starter home for a family of three. It has one and a half bathroom and two bedrooms.

This is a typical "stolpboerderij" that you'll mostly find in the provence of North-Holland. This build has many authentic details, like the ceiling beams, the wooden floors and the original windows. In the back with the patio doors is where the stable/shed used to be. But some houses like these have that renovated like in this build. This was one of my favourite builds to do, because it was just back to my roots for me. And I've built so many American houses lately, so this was a nice change! Anyway, I hope you all will like it!

This time I was really feeling like doing a coastal build. So here is "Coastal Home". It's a three bedroom and two bathroom house. It has a patio with a beautiful ocean view and a cozy coastal interior. I hope you all will like it!

This time around I built a traditional brick mansion. It is inspired by Georgian/Colonial mansions. This estate has six bedrooms and five bathrooms and has a pool, bar, study and laundry room. I really like how the exterior worked out, but I kind of hate the interior. I have no idea what I was going for with that. But still I wanted to finish it and this is the end result! Hope you all will like it!

Hello everyone! Today I've built my first ever apartment in San Myshuno! It's an industrial renovation of 17 Culpepper House in the Spice District. It has one bedroom and one bathroom. Hope you all will like it!

So I really felt like doing another thatched cottage and here it is! It has a colourful garden with a pond. This house has two bedrooms and one bathroom. I also did something new with the roof. Hope everyone likes it!


Thank you for coming here and I hope to be sharing many more builds with you! Make sure to check out my YouTube channel, where I have way many more builds posted!
  • Ik ga nu wel weer Engels praten hoor @MelanieScribbles. Dat vind ik wel zo netjes.

    > Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments, @MelanieScribbles! It really means a lot to me! Ik ben ook Nederlands trouwens! Het koloniale huis ziet er inderdaad erg Nederlands uit, naast het feit dat in Nederland de huizen nauwelijks volledig van hout zijn. Ik denk dat het in Amerika een best klein huis is, maar in Nederland is het meer voor de rijkere mensen! Heel erg bedankt ook voor het abonneren!

    Geen probleem :) Altijd fijn om eens een andere Nederlander tegen te komen. Sorry, ik ben zo gewend aan Engels spreken en dingen uitleggen over ons landje, dat het bijna automatisch gaat. Ik moet soms bij m'n buitenlandse vrienden zelfs aanwijzen waar het is. xD Tenzij ze Europees zijn, dan weten ze het meestal wel. Door dat hout en die ronde vormen springt die van jou er juist op een goede manier uit.

    Die duurdere Amerikaanse huizen zijn inderdaad echt gigantisch. Ik kijk nog wel eens Million Dollar Listing: wat er voor die prijs voor een appartement doorgaat, zeg... Ik zou het een hele flat-verdieping noemen. Ik hou wel van ruim, maar ik zou gewoon niet weten wat ik met al die ruimte moet.


    Hahaha, I am really used to talking English too. But after all it is what I chose for my channel and for The Sims Forums. I wouldn't know either what to do with all the space in a big American house!
  • Wow, beautiful builds! Making a note to check out your gallery too! I madly love the Victorian. Those older styles are my favorites, and that's one of the best I've seen!

    That thatched cottage is lovely.

    Took me a moment to realise you'd managed half-height roofs, and to figure out how you did it! Impressive! It looks like you took what should have been a bug (the gable shape when it runs into a half-wall) and turned it into a feature!


    Yes it's a bug, but not unwanted in this case! I have a tutorial on it on my channel if you're interested. It's not perfect, but something else to experiment with!
