Me personally never build a house from scratch, but renovating and fixing the routing scheme. My last project was a small house in Isla Paradiso (not big changes were made). I think it's better than before at least (in matter of routing).

I will see what i can do for you
I love doing all kind of styles

About half (or more)of what I build is in the lower-cost vernacular versions of this. I'd post a picture or so but I have forgotten how (the "insert image" button calls up a dialog asking me to... insert text?)

I have one at my website, here , but it's Sims 2.
Also, if/when I ever reinstall the game and get back to building, I will modify this to remove the "Gated Driveway" thing. It certainly works, but I think it might only confuse people.

Heres A simple mediterranean villa with a rear courtyard!

Might need to tweak this but I believe this one is finally ready to upload!
I absolutely love how this chateau turned out! Perfect Gilded Age City Home

I need a proper name for this one now!

@TudorMan23 That one's very beautiful!

I've been doing a bit more work on my (old) hood Channelwood, I've been rebuilding it over the past few years with a view to uploading it.


When I was copying files from the backups to my new computer, I found an ancient project that I shared about a million years ago on my journal. Back in those days, upload requirements here meant that you had to document 10 comm lots and 10 res lots in the first posts of the upload thread, as well as putting a table containing detail about each and every lot in the main body of the post. As this hood had around 170 lots, you can understand why I never uploaded it properly back then... Thankfully, the upload wizard automates most of that now, so things are much easier. So I thought I'd go through this one too, and get it ready for upload.


It has a Uni too!


But of course, I got a bit distracted and started building yet another new neighbourhood, so these two (plus the one I showed a few pages ago) might never get uploaded after all... I just love to build too much!

I don't know how you find the time and patience to make these wonderful looking hoods, simsample.
Regarding that last hood, I notice what appear to be two highrises. Are those the fake Maxis ones, or are they real and at least partially playable?
How do you feel about the fake Maxis highrises? Although I've never made a hood, I don't like them. They look, well, fake.
There was a person on Tumblr, about a month or two ago, that had made a mod that prevents the wobbly camera at high elevations, such as with highrises. Are you aware of it? As I've said before, I currently don't have the game installed, but such a mod would interest me. It seems it would make highrise apartments actually playable.

Well, this version of Channelwood was started in 2024... and based on my original version of Channelwood which I played over 20 years ago. I had photos of the lots so used those to make a better version, but still seems familiar to me. Bluehaven was built around 2008-2009, after that I abandoned Sims 2 for several years whilst I played Sims 3 and built several neighbourhoods in that! All of my lots are very simple, when playing I like to use mainly one storey lots as I can see all of the sims at once. So nothing I do is really complicated! As you can imagine, after so many years of playing and building (I started on Sims 1 back in 2000) I can build really quickly, so if you give me a terrain I could fill it with lots in a few hours of playing (for Sims 2- Sims 3 takes longer because of the infinite colour choices! ). I can also make terrains in SC4 quite fast- many years of playing with that too! I'm never very original, or particularly good, with any of it, though!



The University ones? They are hood deco- supposed to represent the college admin blocks and classrooms. The hood has playable student union, secret lot, canteen, shops, barbers etc etc though. The ones in the Bluehaven and Channelwood main hoods are playable.


I quite like the Maxis highrises, and they are easy enough to replace if someone doesn't like them. I think I saw that mod, could you possibly link to it please? Or maybe remember which creator it was? Can't remember if I downloaded it or not.

Thank you @ScaryRob It seems I have already made that mod to my own camera files (my numbers are different but similar), now I can link others to it for playing my tower lots!

@simsample Thank you so much!
Its one of my favorites! just need a little back story Its Part of my Gilded Age series
