ENTRY DETAILS: As Jane Moore stated “it is not the size I am after, but the elegance. I wish for a house that will exude the Regency, where I can entertain, keep guests, and host teas” I decided to go for a modest size Regency style house with the typical white stucco exterior walls, black entry door framed by columns and iron balconies. I kept to Regency interior style as much as possible but figured there would be certain features, ie WCs, kitchen equipment, etc, that needed to be appropriate for a house of 2018. There are certainly plenty of areas to entertain guests inside and out, including the welcoming room of the parlour, piano in the sitting room, a game table in the drawing room plus indoor and outdoor dining.

ENTRY DETAILS: To be honest I don't know very much about Regency and I read a lot about it now. At first I tried to build a house like Pemberley but it looked so wrong without a visible basement (hurra for everyone who done it so well - I'm very impressed folks :o ) so I decided to go for the Brighton Regency or what I think it is :) and also the garden I did twice. After I read they didn't liked strait lines which stood for the monarchy which doesn't seem to be very popular at this time I remodelled it to an english landscape garden and included a folly and popular ruins. I hope you like it and my interpetation is good enough for the expert level, nevertheless I learned so much, thank you <3

ENTRY DETAILS: I have a love of large red brick stately homes and I went with this as my starting point for the build. I am grateful the budget was increased as I practically used all of it! I took inspiration from a view stately homes that I researched -mainly Goodnestone Park in Kent and also Filoli in California. (Filoli was used for the original tv series Dynasty and that is where I also took the name Carrington from for this build).
So this is my interpretation of a Regency manor house using Sims 4. Some décor would not be classified strictly as Regency but I worked with all that was in game. I looked up colour schemes used in Regency times and incorporated blues, greens and yellows into the interior colour scheme as well as the red as requested by the client. Some rooms have red as the main colour, others have it in small décor or flower decorations only.
The entrance leads to a large central hallway with dual staircases leading to an open landing which looks directly down into the hallway. To the right upon entering is the dining room and to your left is the drawing room. To the rear is the sitting room adjacent to the drawing room and the parlour which is connected to the dining room. A downstairs toilet room and stairs down to the basement kitchen complete this floor.
The basement kitchen has a utility room and 2 doors leading to a front and rear courtyard gardens. The front courtyard is mainly flowers and is for decoration whilst the rear courtyard is larger with space for vegetables to grow. There is also a washing line for all the lined to dry. No washing machine though, I have put minimum appliances in this house in keeping with the period it is supposed to be replicating.
The 1st floor (or second if you count the ground floor as the 1st and ignore the basement :/ ) has the 2 largest bedrooms in the house both with large ensuite bathrooms. Stairs leading up to the top floor have the remaining 4 bedrooms- 2 medium and 2 small- and all with their own bathrooms. I envisaged one of the smaller rooms for the live in nurse. Also on this top floor I included the library/study. It went here out of necessity mainly but its the ideal place to study in peace away from the hubbub of downstairs. :)
The gardens I had most fun with. The veranda at the rear of the property has steps leading down into the basement kitchen and also down into the gardens which in turn lead down to a walled-in, sunken garden. I also added a few trees and stripes to the lawn.
Really enjoyed this build and the massive budget so thank you @BuildnShare . Hope you all enjoy The Carrington. I am loving everyone's builds but time is preventing me from commenting individually. Good luck everyone.
