In-game description of 27 Herring Ranch Road, Twinbrook:
Loft / 1 Bath - Although the original farmhouse was incinerated a few years ago, the encroaching swamp saved the barn. Undaunted, the eccentric owner has made the barn into a livable if not luxurious space.
I’ve played Juan Darer once or twice, and made minor changes to his home, but it wasn’t until earlier this year, when one of my Sims visited his house for an opportunity, that I realised how great the location is, with possibly the best views in Twinbrook. (Incidentally, how did the swamp manage to ‘encroach’? It must be at least a hundred feet below.) So, many Sim-years after Juan’s death, I bought his house and rebuilt it for the family I’m currently playing. The exterior of the barn has been left unchanged, apart from being cleaned and re-roofed. The interior has been redesigned to house a gym, an art studio and a workshop downstairs, and two bedrooms upstairs. The rest of the house was dictated by the shape of the existing foundations and by having once been a farmhouse. So it ended up as a rebuilt traditional farmhouse, with a kitchen/family room downstairs and the master suite (complete with sitting room and home office) upstairs. An extension in a more modern style, with large windows to make the most of the views, provides space for entertaining, while a second, narrow, extension links the house and barn. The pond has been drained and the spawner removed, since the same fish are available in the lake.

Notes
- Armiel’s fix for the Barn Wall with Pilaster - Left Side is highly recommended.
- Thomas Riordan’s “Natural” Family Portrait fix was used in the build but isn’t essential.
- The kitchen and master suite fireplaces have been upgraded to fireproof.
- The woodburner in the kitchen is inaccessible in-game. You’ll need to use moveobjects to place it somewhere a Sim can light it and then move it back into the fireplace.
