Floor Plans
I thought I'd create a thread for house plans. I don't have much imagination when it comes to building. I suggest you try building some of the smaller, easier ones. Here are some floor plan websites:
http://www.coolhouseplans.com/ http://www.globalhouseplans.com/ http://www.houseplanguys.com/ By the way, how do you measure the size in real life house plans to fit for the sims? Please suggest any house plan websites you like. |

Thanks julianarosalia!
Here's some small and simple floor plans I found at www.eplans.com: HWEPL00355 HWEPL05755 Here's some really large houses from eplans: HWEPL04265 <This one would be impossible to make in the sims, but you may want to look at it anyway. It's HUGE and very confusing. HWEPL10953 HWEPL07098 |
I have build plans from this side:

Here's another site:

In the game one tile is about three feet. So, a 12' by 15' room would be 4 by 5 tiles. Odd sized rooms (say 11' 3" by 7' 8') I round up or down to the nearest 3 feet (so that room would be 12' by 6' or 4 by 2 tiles). Hope this helps. |

I also use 'clues' such as the doors (and tubs, counters, etc if they're included) to determine the appropriate scale. And of course make adjustments as necessary due to build mode limitations.

hey everyone! when i build my houses, i first find a plan i like, plot it out on graph paper, and then proceed to make it in the sims. that way, you can use the grids on the graph paper to see how it will fit into the game. the only trouble i have come across is when there are odd shaped rooms where making it scale would require usng a half of a block, but i just extend it and hope it works. I'd show you some real houses and my renditions, but my computer's retarded and wont let me upload the pics, plus i cant find them when i take them in the sims.
|
I also come across this problem however it can be overcome by thinking: what space i need in the room and what space is practical when considering the sizes or furniture.
More or less its the outside which is important initially and the space can be divided up inside, however, when its all about space then its the other way around. If you need the screenshots then go to the storytelling folder and they should be there if not then go to the neighbourhood file and then the number of the lot the house is in. |
oh, k, thanks. i'll check there. how do you actuall upload the buildings, though??
