Today's Sim is James Blunt.

I spent most of my playtime today creating him and starting on his house. It's going to be an old cottage in the most logical spot -- Magnolia Promenade. :lol: I'm out of room in most worlds, so I decided that when the corporate fat cats bought up most of the property in that area, this old homestead held out. The house is inspired by a real cottage in the town where James Blunt grew up in real life. It's not finished yet.

I still have more to do on his house. Eventually, I will put shrubs and stuff all around the stream to make it look natural instead of manmade. I need to do more work on the bridge, the terrain, and other things too. I spent some time dealing with routing issues. I wanted him to use the bridge to go home, and I wanted the stream to be swimmable.
The house has been in his family for generations, but most of the furniture had to be sold over the generations to pay bills. So some of it is old furniture, and some of it is his stuff. He was in the military, so I tried to give some of it that vibe. He's just starting out, so he doesn't have much money, and he's been traveling with the military, so he doesn't have a lot of possessions anyways. His focus is mainly on his music, so I tried to reflect that in the house. He doesn't spend his money on a lot of rugs and things like that.

For some reason, I gave this house a closet for my first time.

The laundry room is in the basement.

There's a weird little attic room that doesn't have much in it yet. I wanted him to own very little starting out.

I decided the old house would have had a stable in the past. At first I was going to have him use it as a garage or something, but then I decided to give him a horse.

It will be interesting for me to see how the cottage changes as I play him.
