Pianoman, that house looks very realistic! Great job.

great job painoman, and you're very good at taking realistic photos.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!  It took a couple nights to build.  By the time I was done furnishing and everything, my sim had just enough money to move in.  It was about 104,000 total.  I'm gonna have to spread out the pictures in different posts because I went over 5 image limit.  First post

Awesome house and you have it decorated beautifully.  Good job.

Whipped up a new WIP today.  Feel good about this one.






Although I was totally lame and borrowed from one of my previous works in framing the front door, I like the character this one has.

[pallyndrome]

that's a really cool looking house danefaith. How did you get that big frame at the front and back? I can see it must be foundation at the bottom, walls along the side, but the top? Did you somehow put foundation there too?

[danefaith]

Its a foundation, yes.  You can place foundations on roofs or between floors with the building cheat: placefriezes on.  Just remember to input it before selecting the foundation tool and put placefriezes off when you want to, well, put foundation again. 

[Micler]

That house is very cool! I like the frames around the front and back doors, although I don't think the doors match the modern look of the house. Other than that it looks great!

[danefaith]

Hmm, I was a little complacent in my door selection.  I'll take a look at other options.

@Pianoman:

Very nice work there.  Have you thought about maybe submitting it to our Swap Shop?  As long as it does not contain third party content, I'm sure Carl would love to have it. 

[danefaith]

Re-shaped the exterior a little bit.  Made the detached unit a little more in tandem with the main building - made their heights level and used the same window structure - and I ditched the floating extensions for an indented, glass wall.  I began landscaping with walled in, zen stone arrangements.  I'm considering incorporating some desert foliage as well.

Thoughts?

Here is a house I've been working on, just when I need a break from my Legacy-
It's done mainly in orange, and has 3 bedrooms, all with en-suites.


This is the front view.


First floor, with an entry, dining room on one side, lounge and small study on the other. Next to the dining room, a half-bathroom and spacious kitchen with a nectar rack.


In the room with the stairway from level one, there is a small disply area. Next to that is "girly" bedroom, with it's own full bathroom, from there is a big living/skill room. It has a little balcony attached, in addition to a large party area. A home movie theater is included, next to the laundry, as well as a double bedroom with a bathroom.


The large "hallway" room contains an entry to the master bedroom, with a lavish bathroom. There is another laundry, and another kitchen, done in cool blue, with an outside BBQ and dining area.

Any criticism or comments welcome
