wow! Southy! Florence Delarosa's new house is a.m.a.z.i.n.g.
will it be available for download? pretty pwease

I thought 319 Bella Park Road, Belladonna Cove was a really ugly house, so I made it over. It's all maxis, no CC

nice homes/landscaping everyone! I especially love the maxis makeover, and the pond/wooded area.... soo cute!

Here is my first maxis makeover in a while:

Oh, wow! Beautiful houses and gardens, everyone :)

This is my modest effort. The Rice family's backyard got partially done up.

http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc79/EngramAu/Callay/20090102/ScreenShot514copy.jpg

It still needs a fence and more foliage but they ran out of money. :lol:

[kattenijin]

Current WIP:

http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u159/kattenijin/snapshot_00000017_b6681a26.jpg

It's a re-do of an original Maxis home in Plesantville, I'm not sure of the exact address off the top of my head. It's the one that had the huge lake in front. I used the lot adjuster to move ten tiles from the front yard to the back yard. It's going to be the new Goth residence for Mortimer II, he's the grandson of Alexander Goth.

[clw8]

Yet one more Maxis Makeover.

Not that good, but, the basic structure of the house was nice, it just needed.... re-arranging.

Original EAxis "1097 West Dreaming Drive"
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u159/kattenijin/1097-1.jpg

[fway]

I can't believe that is all EAxis content. I love it very much and would download it if this computer had all of the EPs on it. Unless of course it's base game compatible.

I need to recover my simming computer ASAP.

I really need to do a house of fail entry. I always try to enter something into the "More Awful" contests if they interest me.

[kattenijin]

No, it's definately NOT base game compatible! lol! It basically requires every EP, and the K&B and M&G SPs. If you check at MATY, you can see more pics, which show it's only furnished with "built-ins" (ie: kitchen/bath/lights) because I didnt like how it came out furnished.

[andru]

Shrewsbury your theatre is amazing! :D

[I.nfectious_SC]

Shrewsbury your building talents (& patience) amazes me!

Hencing - Wow I love your homes! I think the first one is my favourite though I really like it's roof.
CelticDragon - What an awesome castles!! They look fantastic!
Night Racer - Great renovation! I especially like the fence, I think it really suits the house. Looking foward to seeing more!
Babbelsim - I adore this house, it's so simple (in a good way!) and it looks like it would have a really great floorplan for gameplay.
kattenijin - I just discovered all the 'house of fail' threads of MATY and I think you have done a truly wonderful job of this house, in particular adding the pond and awesome garden!

Incredible cute and impressive houses. I'm awful at house building.

Here are a couple of pics of the asylum I made when I played the asylum challenge (they are horrible pictures, I just wanted to remember how it was before the make over):

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_b5753c9a_5673c097.jpg

I wanted to make it ominous and menacing, and I think that a bare building like this can be more discomforting than a gothic mansion.

I'm still trying to work out how much to brighten, sharp and contrast with gimp, I've been just mostly messing up the pictures. I need to woggle off and find a gimp tutorial.


@CelticDragon- That castle is huge, and seriously well made. You got a king or queen you planning on putting in there?
@Beatdoc- Can I live there? :D

It was on my personal sims 2 website, however, I deleted the website, so, now.. I'm not sure if I should submit this to mts2 as a basegame home or not? I don't usually do basegame, but, used anygame on this one.... guess i could stick it there. ... Could be a hit?

[Engram]

Lovely houses, everyone!

FablesOfEuphoria: The pictures look pretty good. On the ones where you have the lavender, you might want to maybe bump up the contrast or perhaps play with the saturation, so that the greenery and the lavender really pop. If you were using Photoshop or Paintshop I could point you to a download of a really great custom filter that would make quite a bit of difference to the pictures, but I don't think the filter works with Gimp.

clw8: I think it would really depend on whether the house is a starter or not. People don't expect much landscaping for a starter but for houses 20K+ they'd probably expect a little bit more greenery or maybe a pool or a deck or a BBQ area or something else happening in the yard. It's a nice house, I quite like it, but I think it might need a bit more landscaping done.

CelticDragon: Love the keep! Very forbidding on the outside but the warm tones inside make it actually quite inviting to live in.

[Sparklycookie]

Sparkle - Heya! Cool to see you posting here, your legacy house certantly looks like it would fit everyone in!!

It's actually only a three bed two bath house!
The rooms are generously sized, and there's more living area.

It lags a lot less then their old house, it was boxy and the rooms were huge and hard to decorate.

[slipknot93]

I did some more work on my scary house

http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h259/yoshisegg/snapshot_b5e40a18_567e0ee9.jpg

This is the first time I've made my own roofs without auto roof and it was kinda hard, on the left I have a bit that can be stood on (well not really since ther's no way up yet) with a throne on it, I might change this but I'll keep it like that for now, andI like how the right roof turned out, like all spikey (you cant see it so well in the pic)

just gotta finish the fence and decorate a bit.

[Anyerfillag]

Criquette: Those lots are amazing, and the last building would be known as a Workers Club here in the UK. My grand-dad used to frequent one a lot in his village in Scotland, where they were small pubs/clubs for miners.

[Nissun_]

I made over the Goth house. Not so goth anymore. I don't know how that mansionesque style Apartment life has is called, i just think I love it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_6dae6a73_b67d6000.jpg

I picked up my books about minimal design again, as I needed ideas to make beach houses. I've had bon voyage for a month and barely used these lots!

Anyways, the real one is a house at Staufen, Switzerland, made by architects Morger & Degelo

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_00000202_567528f5.jpg

And a last one. I built it months ago, and I'm not sure, but I think I haven't posted it here. It's a small cubicle:

The inside is radiant, in my humble opinion, always.

[Rabid]

Nissun_: I love the Goth house! It looks much more friendly and yet still suitably imposing. The minimal house is absolutely stunning.
Criquette: I adore the first lot! It looks like something straight from downtown New Orleans.
beatdoc: Charlie's cabin is so cute and cozy! I hope he doesn't plan on expanding his family- not much room :lol:.
Fables: Awesome apartment lot! I love the landscaping- it's very friendly and picturesque.

Nissun_ - Wow awesome makeover of the Goth House!! I still think it retains the 'goth' vibe though :D
Rabid - I love that reitrement pad, so bright and cheery. I'd have a grand old time there I think!
Daisie - Soooo cute! You should put some more of your houses up for download *hint hint* I think I have every single one I could get my hands on.
craziidaisii - you know I havent used those dasies or other plants from M & G yet but you make me really want too!
An_na - WOW, fabulous revamp! Love the contrasting brick exteriors.
Erica152 - great stairs down to the beach.
Sparkle - tire swing = awesome!!!

[Daisie]

Daisie - Soooo cute! You should put some more of your houses up for download *hint hint* I think I have every single one I could get my hands on.Aw, thanks! You're sweet. My stuff is going back up on Phasmatic shortly, and I may start uploading to MTS2, too. I'll keep you posted. ;)

xosims2rocksox, very nice garden! I love the pool.
Erica152, those stairs are very cool.

[Shrewsbury333_SC]

Criquette Thats buildings are fantastic, very realistics. It would be great to build rowhouses in that style. In fact that is possible. But i have no idea how to do it. :(

Well, this is a Church in a kind of art-decó style.. i dunno...

Hello Guys! I never posted any of my own pics in this thread so I thought I would change that but I must apologize before hand for my pictures being too small as I haven't figured out how to make them larger or to remove the blur after making them bigger so without further ado:


http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j9/lmfjaxxon/1Bedroom1Bath.jpg

Please disreguard the sim :D. She is just a passerby :D.

[i saw drones]

lmfjaxxon: what a cute little house!!

[lmfjaxxon]

Thanks I Saw Drones :D. I want to make more on this style but a little bigger or maybe some apartments on this style. I'm glad someone likes it and this will make me post more.


Thanks for the compliments :D. That means a lot...

[clw8]

not a really good shot.... however, it is a total redo of a maxis BV lot.... well, i didn't build on to the exterior, or delete water, etc... just redid all floors, walls, windows, doors, roof, and furnishings.. and added 1 room interior..... unfortunately this one shot doesn't show all that!

Daisie & beatdoc16: You both make the cuuuutest little houses :D
An_na: Gorgeous remake. They were pretty cute before, but now they're stunning!
Babolat85: You're the best at making ranch houses, love it.
I.nfectious: Sorry about your grandpa. Those houses are amazing, especially the first! I love all the details.

I built this last night, and liked it better then the house I was going to move them into before.

You know the garden I posted before?
This is the house attached to it.

[rome_raven]

This is the backyard of my Berjes Legacy House. I decided to pick a lot that is so steep that without flattening some of the lot, the sims couldn't walk on the grass of the lot. It's turning out okay so far.

treejen: I love the containers!
Beatdoc16 & Daisie: You two are my inspiration :lovestruc

[beatdoc16]

Thankyou guys!

Gigi - Oh that house is ADORABLE! Strange, I've never tried to use that fence in anything but a 'cabin style' lot, but your's fits in so well now I'm going to have too!!
rome_raven - I really love that lighting in your garden too. Are you using a mod?
xosims2rocksox - how many bedrooms in this one? :D Lucky legacy family!
treejen - those containers are fantastic, what a great concept!
I.nfectious - I think your granddad would love that house, it's beautifully made. It looks like you've put alot of attention into the detail and little things.

[Sparklycookie]

xosims2rocksox - how many bedrooms in this one? Lucky legacy family!

Four bed, three bath.
It's amazing on the inside, next time I play the house, I'll try and get inside shots.

[Nissun_]

I was thinking on uploading this house. It's based on another real minimal house, and I didn't use any custom content. But I don't think it's that great. The outside landscaping needs so much help...

By the way, any suggestions on how to fix that gap between the columns?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_0000004c_76813122.jpg

I also built an apartment building, inspired on a real one again. The picture is not very flattering. I'll post a different one.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_0000004c_b682852f.jpg

(don't tell anyone, but I'm kinda working on a minimal "themed" neighbourhood with the hope of beign not bad enough for uploading. As you can see in the background it's so empty right now...)

[himawara106]

@Criquette: Wow - I never saw such realistic houses. Really amazing.

[crocobaura]

Maybe you could use these, they are a bit taller than Maxis standard columns.

musefair: What a cute house! I'd love to live there.
CelticDragon: That house looks great! The dead trees definitely add to the spookiness :)
I.nfectious: That's a great make-over. Maxis definitely fails in building, that's for sure.

The Pendrake Museum, located in Eden Falls:

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h179/nlactone/Pendrake1.jpg

Historic residence of Jeremiah Pendrake, writer and inventor, known as the "American Jules Verne" -- b. 1867, disappeared 1914, presumed dead. Considered to have gone mad when he began claiming that his tales of time travel were true accounts.

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h179/nlactone/Pendrake2.jpg

http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h179/nlactone/lecture.jpg

Goth University professor Edward Landau on a field trip with students Amanda Rimbaud and Mina Mercier, part of Pendrake's time-travelling device behind him. Pink-clad Clover Pendrake joins the group -- she's been very involved with setting up the museum, restoring her ancestor's home and the various objects which were part of his collections. The hot air balloon rides have been very popular with the public and have raised money for the restoration efforts. Edward's wife, Victoria, is Alexander Goth's daughter.

[Tenielle]

Kounga- Thanks! I plan to post pics of the inside, but have to figure out the right way to navigate the small rooms.

Babolat- Thankyou. I love the floor plans of Larsson's lots, but not necessarilly the way they look. Many of them I have rebuilt on smaller lots as well to fit in better in my 'hood.

[lmfjaxxon]

OMG...You guys so rock! I love all of these lots in this thread no matter how small or large they are :). I love the small lots the best :lol:.

This my latest (but first time posted here) house: Dancer's Delight. It's custom built for a lovely little lady I made called Janine Bell whose lifetime aspiration is to get to the top of the Dancing Career. Hopefully this house will help her achieve her dream!

It's got a nice bathroom, raised bedroom, open plan living and its own separte dance studio. It's one of my favourite houses that I've ever built!

[Night Racer]

Heres a new house i built...its a small house built on a huge lot...i plan to add a bunch of trees around the back 3 edges of the lot and give it a -forestey- feel... itll be a bitch to play...but itll be nice.

Night Racer ~ Amazing house! I love the pool :)

[rome_raven]

Night Racer, that house looks amazing.
Wgroome, that is a really cute and cozy looking house.

My cousin asked me to build a house for her growing sim family. Turned out pretty good to the point that I'm taking a copy of it for my neighbourhood.

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y287/cassie341/Lookatme/GrantHouse.jpg

[44 Coffees]

wgroome: Excellent job on 'Dancer's Delight'. Such a sweet little place, and I love the artistic touches to the exterior. Your Janine Bell needs to open up that dance studio to the public - a perfect place for a small business!

Night Racer: You KNOW you're hot! I really like the cool simplicity of your lot. Sophisticated, yet not too complicated. And I've never seen a pool designed like that, with the half-walls and all. Does that diving board really work? I need to run off and give try it myself.

Engram: Fantastic beach house and a perfect roof line. Looks a little like a 'Queenslander' without the paranoia of tidal floods. The 'cool' colour of the siding really contrasts well with the dramatic blue of the roof. And who can resist a wrap-around verandah?? Your entire lot screams 'sunshine'.

I've been lazily building stuff lately. Saddly, I doubt I'll ever use these lots. I'm too excited about Sims 3 to invest much more time playing Sims 2. But my 12 year old daughter plays, and I'm secretly putting a neighbourhood together for her. (Frustrating though, because all her families consist of a mum or dad who are tragically killed off on the first day, twin teenage girls , a live-in emo hottie, and a cat named 'Jinx'. And as long as I live I swear I will keep her from learning about Teen Insimenator...)

wgroome, that's really nice. I love when hobbies define the homes.
Night Racer, I love that house, specially the front vegetal arrangment.
44 Coffees, that beach house is exactly what I've been trying and failing to do! I'll try again now.

As for me, I'm continuing my Veronaville makeover, into some sort of art deco neighbourhood. I feel kinda sad for it, because I think maxis really made wonderful houses in that neighbourhood. How is it called? Isabelline style? Renaissance?

I don't have mansion and garden stuff yet, so I won't remake the whole neighbourhood for now (because of the art deco stuff in that pack). Also, I've been considering making over one side as art deco and the other side, with the Montague family, Art Nouveau.

Anyway, a house:

sims will go on it...stand...and when they begin the jumping animation they dip down to the -default- level..minor graphics glitch...but it works

also..i love how house...very colorfull and warm.

Hencing: TOTAL WANTAGE o.o. thats hot...like...~super mega hot~ :smash:

[Laithwen]

Night Racer, that house is GORGEOUS. The backyard/pool area is especially stunning. Fantastic work. :D

Nightracer, I love that house! The ivy makes it look so real! The shape of it kind of reminds me of the house in "Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte". Cool!

Chowgilly, the art gallery is awesome!

Babolat85, I've been through several of these house threads and I have to say if there were a contest, you would definitely take first prize! All your houses are so realistic and the landscaping is great! I wish I had that kind of talent for landscaping!

All of you all do wonderful jobs on your houses. This is one of my favorite picture threads and it is so inspiring!

Deep breath....
vicarious70 - Woah! You didn't feel brave enough to post that?! it's awesome. I struggle so much with more 'modern' design and you've captured it perfectly.
i saw drones That 'station' is so cool! You've done a great job making it. I think it would make awesome apartments :D
sbe - You make great use of levels on you homes, especially in that last pic!
panther00567 - Ohh those urban apartments are fabulous! They look really authentic, my sims would love to live there.
SimGirlTasia232 - Well done on building your first house! It looks lovley.

I think the house is really pretty! I wish that when I built small, simplish homes they turned out so nice. IDK, I look at this thread, and at the homes in the Architect contest I'm in, and think, man....I REALLY suck at building houses, even after doing so, for what.... 5 years on ts/ts2 now....

Curtis' Cook-Off

This is Curtis' Cook-Off; a 2x2 community lot. It's got 4 kitchens, and a contest table in the centre of the building. There are two toilets, with showers; one for each gender. The kitchens all have a oven, refridgerator and food processor.

[FuryFanFiction]

Night Racer: STUNNING! The pool area is fantastic and I loved the vines and the columns. I just hope we can make stuff as good as that in Sims 3 because I would love to sorta recreate that house on Sims 3.

[IntrepidLlama]

Amazing houses, everyone!

wgroome, Curtis' Cook-Off is really cool! It reminds me of something off of Food Network, or the set of the new t.v show, Iron Chef: SIM! :D

Everyone has such amazing homes!!
Clw8: Great makeover! One of my legacy families used to live in that lot :) (Brings back lots of memories!)

This is a smaller home that I've just finished building (I rarely build my own homes).

[punchlines!]

Gah! All these houses are so amazing, they make me realize exactly how bad I am at building houses.

[LostSock]

I'm thinking of adding more to my Old City Living house collection, and so I'm building a whole neighbourhood like this. The corner house came out well, I think. :) Random aside: I hate roofing.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v171/BenSidle/apartment/Sims/churchstfront1.jpg

Front of the house.

[Manga_Moon]

LostSock - I really love it :D It looks so cute and dainty nestled within the tall city buildings there.

Here is another house I am currently working on...it's nothing spectacular but I kinda like how it is turning out :P.

Great work Glaswegian(brings back memories...)! Must have taken a long time to build those.
Cute house Tasha I like the covered deck area.

[chowgilly]

Wow, they are amazing! you must have real patience glaswegian!
Tasha - Cute lil lot, whenever i try something like that it never turns out right.
an apartment on a 1x1 lot

[lmfjaxxon]

Thanks Romy :P

Chowgilly....and I like your apartment lot too :D. I only made an apartment once and I didn't like how it turned out but I am going to have to try again. I like smaller lots because they are easy to play and I would love to try to replicate that :).

[panther00567]

Awesome work guys!

I decided to remake one of my older lots from a couple of years ago, which were essentially rowhouses based on Philadelphia

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Panther0567/Screenshot4.jpg

I also made them into apartments :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v302/Panther0567/Screenshot3.jpg

x-tashi-x - Wow, at least they have a big house :D Looks awesome.
panther00567 - they looks great! I love how they all look different but you manage to tie the styles together with the blue windows and doors.
chowgilly - Cute mini apartments! You wouldn't want to have neighbours from hell in those :P
lmfjaxxon - Looks good so far! I like the green and white colour scheme.
Izzy - Awww that's such a adorable little home. Love the levels! Hehe someone's been digging... :D

[psivampyr]

Wow that is an amazing looking upgrade for the mobile homes!! Makes me wanna try it myself.

[Charley-x]

beatdoc; I LOVE what you did with those homes! :D

However, everyone here has very nice homes/lots :) ...Great job... makes me wanna go build somemore!

I love these kinds of "filler" lots. I may need to build one of these for my games.

just to clear it up, I did not build the house, its a Maxis house that came with Life Stories that I made-over.....:D

[w_sims]

These are Pieces 1 and 2 of my "Alley" - a set of small community lots that can be inserted between your other lots. I say "your" lots as I might upload these to ModTheSims.

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq68/wgroome/Alley/Piece1.jpg

Piece 1 - features guitar, fountain, benches.

http://i434.photobucket.com/albums/qq68/wgroome/Alley/Piece2.jpg

Piece 2 - features cooking station, seating, podium.

[rome_raven]

I really like that second one...there isn't a bathroom hidden behind the cooking station is there?

[w_sims]

No. I didn't put bathrooms on the lots as the idea is you just go their for an hour or so. They're meant to be little parts of a town, not lots in their own right (if you get what I mean...)

Maxis Home Makeover:

This is the house that I moved the Oldies in. I forgot to write down the address, but you know the one. The nice colonial that looks great on the outside, but none of the bedrooms are big enough for a double bed (grrr).

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d44/dallasindc/maxisbefore1.jpg

So I updated the siding on the house and completely redesigned the inside. I'll post the interiors in the fav rooms thread.

That's a subtle, but great improvement dallasindc. Great job!

Ok so since I decided to play double heirs this generation(AND I was EXTREMELY bored!) I built another house for one of them to move into once the graduate from uni(the main house just doesn't have room for 2 heirs, their families AND the founder and her hubby!)

Only the one pic for now, because the back yard is completely bare :/

Thanks. . . I believe that - that chainlink fence is one of my favorites, as far as fencing goes anyways. . . I just usually don't build homes that it would look good with, but, this time, I think this one looked nice with it.

Pictures are horrible. I will take better ones in live mode, soon as I get Sims moved in.
Would anyone be interested in this house?

[w_sims]

I know you're in the process of building it; but I think it needs more plants and/or external decoratinos like statues or a pool.

Maybe you could add another colour into the colour scheme of the build?

[Usagimune]

I just added two pools behind the breezeway (Had planned on that) and a couple pillars to hold up the porch over the faux circular driveway. Not sure what plants to add besides the cacti and prickly pears. Trying to do research to what kind of plants are native to deserts.

[Edit] Just found some desert plants to download.

Anyone think I went a little over board?

This is a comedy club, called "The Giggle Pit" that my mate and I designed today. It's modern and artistic, the perfect environment for having a laugh.

This is my park! I've never made a decent park before, but I spent ages doing this one and I'm really happy with it!

Wow! There are some really amazing houses here - what an inspiration! I've spent hours now looking at old threads, very interesting, and I will for sure post some pics later on, even though my building abilities can't match most of you guys/girls. But I enjoyed so much your work, so there was no time for play today! :blink:

Shrewsbury - the Castle is blowing me away, as did the Theatre I found in an older thread. I am truly impressed! That town you are making must be really something!

Chekur - the Beach house looks so neat and tasteful with a lot of cool details. Just the right place for some beach-loving sims!

Wgroome - Your park looks great! Are you sure it's your first one? The 45 dgr benches looks wonderful by the pond. (I must learn to use that cheat immidiatly...)

It isn't my first park... it's the first one I've spent at long time on and that I've ever been happy with. It's my first park that looks like a park rather than a garden!

Ok, so I can't by any stretch of the imagination take any credit for this amazing lot; it's by Stoffelsim @ MTS2 (http://modthesims2.com/member.php?u=714751).
But look how pretty!?!

I've had to remodel it a bit though as maxis only allows you to build upto 4 levels without hacks & i don't really want to get anymore hacks as my d/l folder is bursting lol...


wgroome - aww that park is so pretty & I like the name of your comedy club lol..
Usagimune - wow that house is huge!
chekur - your beach home is lovely, i bet the view is great!
E.CA - great makeover! I like how the windows contrast with the roof, it goes well

I.nfectious: You don't need a hack, just an in-game cheat "SetHighestAllowedLevel #" where the # is 1 more than floors you want. You could use the exact number of floors, but I find it's helpfull to have the extra. Leave a space between Level and #. You can even add the cheat to your user startup.cheat file, and always be able to build to the level you set.

thanks for that Kattenijin :)
