House building help

Hey guys,

I was not able to find the original source of this beautiful house, or else I would have just downloaded it to my gallery to figure this out. I love the way the pool is designed, but I can't figure out how to make it myself. Any tips? I also like how high up the foundation is, but I can only get the foundation in my game up so high...

  • @deejcake, most likely that is not a true "foundation" but the first level of the house made to look like a foundation at that angle.  If you look at the bottom right of the lower level of the house (what appears to be under the part of the balcony (that has 2 couches and a coffee table)  that juts out at a point, you will see that what looks like the foundation of the house actually has windows! 😎  And this lower level looks to be on a regular foundation that is colored the same as the outside wall.

    This looks to be a way to mimic a split-level house since in TS4 we can't build into a hillside. By the mailbox there are a few steps to get up to the foundation, and then what looks like a giant foundation with the pool windows with stairs leading to the entryway.  I have seen (and downloaded) a pool with windows like that, but it was made so that the windows weren't facing outside, but inside to a bedroom.  Pretty cool, but not as much as the house you showed us!  I have pictures, but I can't seem to find the ones of this pool. I'm not the best builder, but I can try to see if I can build a pool like this. 🤔😳

    I agree it is a stunning build! ❤️  If you ever find out who made it, please tell us! 😇

    Thanks for your helpful response. It was made by edandy10 and it is called Modern Newcrest Luxury! It requires the Get To Work expansion pack. Took me forever to find, but it was worth it.

    I'm so happy that you found the house! :eahigh_file:  Thank you so much for telling us who made this fantastic house and what it is called! ❤️  Since I have Get to Work, I'm off to upload it now! 🥳

    Update:  Sadly I couldn't find the house in the Gallery! 😢  I searched for it by name and then I searched for it by the builder's name.  Both searches yielded 0 results! 😮😞🤔  I'm confused! 😳

    @deejcake @PugLove888 I can't find it either... not by user or name. Any change in that situation? Very cool build!
