The Skinny Home
another fine production from
talieSIM architectural design
A more urban dwelling. Vaguely based off of various buildings I pass on my way to work, the mkSolaire, a smart home designed by Michelle Kaufman Studios and currently on display at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and bits and pieces of assorted parts of other homes that I've seen and liked.
Also, the exterior was designed to mock the suburban McMansion, albeit in a much prettier and cohesive way. See my note within the file for a bit of political commentary regarding this.
I personally believe this to be one of the most intuitive and beautiful designs for a home that I've ever made. I truly hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it.

- You may want to use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer instead of the game's installer, which will let you install sims and pets which may otherwise give errors about needing expansion packs. It also lets you choose what included content to install. Do NOT use Clean Installer to get around this error with lots and houses as that can cause your game to crash when attempting to use that lot. Get S2PCI here: Clean Installer Official Site.

Creation Policy
I build homes for fun. I've always viewed The Sims as an architectural tool first and as a simulator for life second. In fact, if you look it up, the first versions of The Sims were designed as a dollhouse simulator, not as a game about life. My neighborhoods are filled with unoccupied lots because I just like to design them. I've never much liked the playing aspect of the Sims unless I'm really bored.
I will accept requests for homes on a case-by-case basis. If I like the general concept being submitted, I'll PM the requestee and we will discuss the plans on a more personal level. I view this as the same as an architect-client relationship, except I won't charge.
I encourage constructive criticism for my works.
