Where Do Your Builds Come From?
If you follow my sim self and his family's updates in the What Happened In Your Game Today thread, some of you will know that the houses featured in this save are places from real life. I used to try and build my own ideas in previous generations of The Sims games but they never turn out the way i expected them to look in game compared to how i saw them in my minds eye.
Lets take my sim self's grandson's Brian's house, soon to be handed over to his brother Clyde.
In real life you wouldn't know that it's real life counter part sits quietly tucked away on a small cul-de-sac in Vermont South all the way in Melbourne, Australia! But in game it's located in Newcrest on the Tranquil Crescent lot.
A few years ago i got acquainted with the owner of the real life house after i showed them my build of this house in game. They were impressed with how accurate i got the exterior that they sent me pictures over from the recent renovations they did to the real interior of the kitchen and lounge so i included them in the story when Brian first moved in to the house.
My question is, do you include houses from in real life or do you come up with your own floor plans?
