The "VanHomme" Series
I've been a fan of vehicular home conversions for a bit over two years now (given my desire to have my own someday). Wanting, of course, to emulate this in TS4, I looked up speed builds and tutorials, then (due to my dislike for using others' builds) built them alongside the videos, whilst adding my own personal touches. All of them are playtested and on the gallery, too.
The "VanHomme" Van Home/Deluxe
https://i.imgur.com/V1ddI64.jpgSpoiler
The original Simwood writer to come up with the concept of the "van" - Edric VanHomme - one day came up with the idea for a tiny abode attached to the back of his conceptual vehicle. He would lay in his bed, dreaming of a world where the fictional "cars" would be drivable, & he could take his new home on the road. He later quit his job & began selling small homes on the backs of replicas. The VanHomme: The perfect start on the road to your dream home.
=========================
Same as the "VanHomme" Classic, but with upgraded functionalities, including: minifridge, heating system, side-by-side toilet and open shower, some extra decorative touches, and a ladder leading up to a rooftop cage (for any off-the-grid accessories, rooftop seating, etc). Without the ladder and cage, it's only a couple hundred simoleons less. The "VanHomme" Deluxe: Why wait 'til you reach your destination? Start off your journey in style.
The VanHomme "Skool Bus"

Another replica mobile creation from VanHomme, the "Skool Bus" is based on one of his shows, a slice-of-life about a middle-class suburban family going from place to place in vehicles known as "buses", and their antics on each trip. After his departure from the studio, VanHomme reimagined one of the gas-guzzling behemoths into an eco-friendly abode. The Skool Bus- Live your own adventure and let it take you from one day's lesson to the next.
The VanHomme "Commune Camper" Caravan
The point of this one was to add gameplay to my build, starting it off as a minimalistic lot, but with all of the necessary tools to furnish it, live self-sustained, and off-the-grid.

In his nomadic youth, VanHomme spent a summer in a cult dedicated to worshipping frogs. Life in the commune taught him many things about living off-the-grid: General DIY, crafts, gardening, & showering with frogs instead of soap. Looking back upon the experience, he created the "Commune Camper Caravan" as a commune "starter kit" of sorts (cult not included). The Commune Camper Caravan- Communal living made easy (& blessed by the Great Amphibian).
The VanHomme "CelebuTrailer"
This one was built with a celebrity trailer in mind, using techniques from the video that helped me build the 'Commune Camper'. One tidbit I'm proud of is the functioning mailbox-license plate at the back.

Despite his primary role as a writer, VanHomme had tried his hand at directing as well. The shattered dreams of wannabe actors and dismissed extras was heartbreaking to watch, but an unavoidable truth of showbusiness. The idea behind his "CelebuTrailer" was to give those "down on their luck" a taste of stardom, all without the rigamarole. The CelebuTrailer- Part "mobile mansion". Part on-set trailer. All you'll ever need to be the star of your show.
The VanHomme "Roam-Ani" Wagon
https://i.imgur.com/WVyuIGf.jpgSpoiler
VanHomme was plagued by new ideas after starting his business...some of which would haunt his dreams. He dreamt of creatures on four legs, larger than any dog, dragging behind an abode on wheels, but could not make sense of it. It was his future wife, Anya, who would regale him with tales from her homeland of the 'Vardo'- a home on wheels pulled by creatures known as "horses", & collaborate to "dream up" the "Roam-Ani"- Vintage style, powered by wanderlust & dreams.
"Camp Life" Caravan Home
This one is another video-build inspiration, used as an upgrade for a played family of mine from the 'Van Home'. Not yet up on the gallery, though.Spoiler

Looks like it's modded.Is that true?
@ItsMeThatGuy
None of them are modded, save maybe the "Camp Life" Caravan, but that's because I've a modded game. When I build/edit to upload to the gallery, there are no mods in my folder. I also don't use CC furniture in builds, regardless. What you see are just clever usages of moveobjects, and some debug/live edit objects.
