"Simspiration": Craftsman homes
https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/news/simspiration-oakland
I really loved reading this, as it was so nice to see some actual Craftsman homes. However, it underlined one of my frustrations with the new world. While we did get some nice authentic craftsman features in B/B with Growing Together, the actual homes (both playable lots and the backdrops) in San Sequoia are just... not.
When I look on the gallery, too, I see so many lots that have Craftsman in the name, but they are actually just generic ranch or modern/contemporary homes, with zero to few identifiable craftsmen features. 99.9% of them don't even have front porches!" Like you can't just slap a Craftsman-style window on a ranch and suddenly think it's a Craftsman. That would be like adding a stained glass window to a Mission style house and saying, "hey, now it's a Victorian farmhouse!" or adding half-timbering to a French Country style home and then calling it a Tudor. (I mean, you can... you can do whatever you want, of course, but you'll be wrong.)
Has anyone come across any creators who have uploaded the real thing lately?
