TS1 ---> TS4 rebuilds

So, once upon a time I was part of a Sims 1 fansite. We had most everything there: objects, skins, walls/floors/roof (most of them mine), and houses. We did many collaborations, where some built the houses, others made objects/walls/floors. It was really a lot of fun :)

I've been working on "rebuilding" the site, revive it. I've gotten a lot done, but of course a lot remains. Now since I don't have TS1 installed currently, I can't really get all the houses sorted and uploaded to the site. It would require a LOT of work also, since I'm missing so much of the CC they contained. So I thought, why not build them in TS4 instead? I've been looking for a bigger project to work on, and this seemed to do nicely. I've done 7 so far, and I've been having a blast with it :)

Of course, I've had to make adjustments on all houses. Some of these houses had HUGE rooms with not much in them. I think I've done more reasonably sized rooms :D The build tools are different, there were no foundations, we had auto-roof (really nice, but could look a tad odd), and most of the houses we built had garages. There are no cars in TS4, so I don't see the need to build those.

Without further ado (only posting one pic of each):

Burgundy Bliss: This was the first house I worked on with the 2 founding members of the staff. They built the house, I made walls/floors for it (including garage door walls :D ).

  • Your sims 4 versions of the Sims 1 homes are lovely! :) You have reflected them so very well in Sims 4 gameform! They look just like them!
  • These are so good! I love to see this kind of thing, you did such a great job recreating those TS1 builds into TS4!

    TS4: There is an area in the back for a garden (currently not functional) and I also had room to plop down a pool
