Ive seen many many great house shells uploaded here. Cant believe that nearly 10k views to my idea *cough and looks blaming at Thomas*

I really really like all the shells and would LOVE to see more

If people would spread the word to others who might gotten stuck at furnishing *wink wink*

Well reminds me, that i havent uploaded any shells myself (mainly due lack of confidence i guess) Cant compete with these beautiful uploads *sniffle*

Oh well, maybe some day

Keep up the good work

Thread out of service now? Cant be true that not more people wish to show off their discontinued products

(i dont dare uploading mine, since ive seen so many good ones here

)

Well promised ages ago, that I would upload something.

Here is a quickly made shell I made.

Unfortunately it seems I've gotten myself locked out of the galleries.... again *Sighs heavily*

The shell itself costs wooping 54k (sorry I didn't have any budget set, so feel free to remove/change whatever that costs

)
Only thing I have done is a bit landscaping, rest is more or less just the walls and its with a elevator, no stairs.

Packs : I recommend having all major packs, no stuff packs used (after what I know)

Its a really good home for artists, sculptures or bachelor/ette pad.

Enjoy!!

I love you all. Seriously. Especially the one who built the modern houses. While I won't be able to put my future unicorn in there, I will definitely live in one of those houses.

I love this idea WickedSimmer87 and I am planning on using this thread in order to decorate some houses. I love interior decorating, but when I go to build a house I stare at the screen for hours before I give up and redecorate a premade sims created home. They are not horrible, but this will give me some different looks in my neighborhoods. And I have already download some and I am about to start working.

Hello e1990r.
Im happy that you like this thread

Although i asked Thomas (samoht) cos i wanted his big white house

and then he credited me for the idea anyway

Im having trouble with building houses myself, sometimes i just scrap the whole thing and gives up haha.

Anyway. Going to use this post to ask if anyone have used any of my shells for real play

I want to know how they feel for others.

Wow... just... wow... These houses are...(Searches in thesaurus on computer)mind blowing. I don't really have a rich taste for houses, I'm more of a normal traditional family house person I think. But these blew my mind! I loved them! They're amazing!

This is my first attempt at trying to share something, I hope it works.

Here is a builiding shell of a residence I put together.

Name: A Glass House of Water
Lot Size: 30 X 30
Bedrooms: 5
Bathrooms: 2
Cost when placed on 30 X30 Lot: $70,661
Cost Unfurnished: $69,538
Required Expansion/EA Store Items: I used the ceiling lights from World Adventures. No store content at all.

This is a house where the walls are glass and filled with water, in which sims can swim. It features a rooftop party area, above grown level with bedrooms and bathroom (bathroom is interior and has no glass walls, so privacy is insured), a basement living area with glass water walls, and a sub basement for skilling or storage that doesn't have glass water walls. Behold:

Curbside View:

Roof:

Ground Bedroom Level:

Basement Living Area:

Basement Storage Area:

Tilt View from Bedroom Level:

Tilt View from Living Area:

I'm going to also furnish this with unmelting ice furniture which will hopefully translate when other people download it, but that will take a while for me to get done. In the meantime, I hope this works and that someone enjoys it.

Tealeaf, That's an interesting idea. Will be like living in a fish bowl. Probably not good for a Hydrophobic sim.

Tealeaf · « **Reply #146 on:** June 25, 2012, 03:43:02 PM »

Thanks. I was thinking of trying to make it round-ish to go with the fishbowl concept, but doing the pool walls that way proved to be out of my ability. I haven't tested it with a hydrophobe, but I suspect it might be ok because all the water is outside. I don't know how the game would really handle this situation, though.

House I'm starting to work on and thought I would share the shell here before starting to add any furniture to it.
It based off of this floor plan. I liked the floorplan for this house and how the it wrapped around the pool and thought I would try and make it for my game. But I never could get the roof right so just gave it a flat roof. I made a few changes like adding the deck for the hot tub.

Lot Size 50 x 50
Cost 101,328 furnished , 94,122 unfurnished
Expansions - Late Night, Showtime and Pets

One floor plus a small basement that I made just big enough to get the stairs in so you can expand it to what ever size you need.

I really like this grimsoul! I love houses that have more rooms since I nearly always play generational games. Can't wait to see it furnished!
