Do you like Mid Century Modern? If so, what is your favorite that you have made or found in Sims 4?

MCM is one of my favorite architectural designs and I gravitate to that style a LOT. I never, ever play big mansions or large houses that have over 2-3 bedrooms. I much prefer all of my played houses to be only one floor and the majority of mid-century modern houses are typically only a single story home so it fits me perfectly.

I actually turned Newcrest into an MCM neighborhood with all houses and community venues only in that style and I love it!

MCM is actually one of the styles that is quite easy for me to build myself (and I'm not a builder by any means) when I can't find something I like to download.

I don't always decorate it traditional 60's retro, mid-century modern furniture and decor. I much prefer muted, neutral colors and have a tendency to stick to more scandinavian/minimalist styles for my personal played house.

naw I mostly find midcentury modern quite meh and I wish they would stop repeating that build theme with packs

might be because where i live pretty much all the annoying boring places like schools and waiting rooms and offices have that decor style and not in like fancy innovative way

it just gives me quite uncomfy vibes and i rather find antiques and such to be the good vibes for myself

for my sims though decor theme is not about what i like its about what suits them and what they (seem to) like

and some of them yeah live in midcentury modern/ modern kinda houses

(well especially since I mainly play premade families)

I do tend to keep some type of symmetry/balance too though
it really irritates me if something in build is awfully unbalanced.. which is probably why yeah i don't really excel in modern exteriors
I just can't do that to myself

eventually will have to though cause del sol hills are still waiting to be built and i have to make at least one modern flat mansion there

MCM is one of my favourite styles, I can't say I build MCM well but many of my builds are inspired by MCM elements.

I like it. I live in a MCM house and the interior style is a mix of muted MCM and Industrial.
Although I build a lot, I don't really build MCM in the Sims. The only MCM I ever built in TS4 was...my house. Only because I'm planning for an extension. :D

In the Sims I build haunted castles, steampunk mansions and cozy cottages. It's very unlikely that I will ever live in one of those...

I like MCM furniture, but I do not like the house styles except for the ones designed by Frank Lloyd Wright or any of his apprentices (and only because of all of the hidden storage and built in furniture). They got it so right as far as aesthetic and function. Most of the MCM houses I've been in have a lot of dead space or areas that don't really have a purpose. The thing that always bothers me about the MCM houses in my area are the huge stairways that take up so much space and then small living spaces.

In game, I do enjoy playing the style, though I don't build them myself. I think I'd like to recreate some of the more famous ones and see if I can make them a little more functional.

I'm not too fond of the style really, but one major plus is that most MCM floorplans are single storey.
So far I've like built one shell in this style, it's fun to build this type of house, but the aesthetic just doesn't really interest me. I guess I'll build more of them once I tackle Del Sol Valley and Oasis Springs.

MCM is my number one favorite style. I also love rustic cabins and weird builds, but MCM definitely dominates my game.
I like symmetry by the way. :)
And I'm so jealous that you got to grow up in an Eichler house! As a child, that was one of my dreams.

I do like MCM in general, but in gameplay I sometimes find them a bit limiting for my tastes. It really depends on the needs of the sim(s) living there, though.

Frank Lloyd Wright is definitely legendary. Fallingwater is on my list of top 10 places I wish I could live.

I used to live in the town he came from and I got to tour quite a few of his first homes and I've had the pleasure of touring some of his granddaughters designs. They're amazing! The piano hinge doors are so awesome. I mean...I can't even imagine how long those hinges took to place. LoL
