Frontal attic is too complicated for his real life prototype. I think that could be made with simple intersection of two sloped roofs. CFEd level here is something excess. Am I right? That was CFEd level, isn't it?
You would kill me? Really don't count it too personally. That's not hate comment. I really really wish to see your next work. And like houses made by you
Regards Vic ^_^

Sorry? I'm not understanding what you said/mean?

As for the roof... In Sims 2, a "simple intersection of two sloped roofs" is not possible - at least not and have it look like the front roof of the original house's picture.
The front roof section is purely decorative (and yes, I had to build it with CFE, to match the height.)
The original house has a low slope shed roof over the front porch with the open gable on top of that (facing front) for decoration. The rest of the house is roofed with two perpendicular open gables...
Getting the lower edge of the long, side-set gable roof to blend with the porch shed roof piece and the decorative front-facing gable was not easy. I did the best I could.

I wish roofing in Sims 2 was easier I've got a couple of English Cottage style houses that I haven't released yet because I keep trying to hammer the roof into submission. *grrrr* As with all my builds; if you don't like something, then change it. I would love to see someone else's interpretation of this house - and I wish you good luck with it! (Sincerely. I mean it - I really would love to see it and wish you the best in building it!)

I am glad you are following along in this series I'm almost done building all 62 houses (I have 4 left - they're last because they're gonna be real PITA's to build Oi!)
So, hang in there with me. The best is yet to come .

That's a personal dislike of me, the 'American only' building possibilities and it's restrictiveness. Though I mostly LOVE US architecture, but sometimes I want to build something Dutch or German but end up ditching it because it just looks too American. /Vent end

What I initially wanted to say was that the curb appeal of this house is incredibly cute!

I meant you could make the front side to look the same way as left side http://thumbs.modthesims2.com/img/6...752-06_Left.jpg
I understood those Idea with those cheated roof as decorative. So now I am okay
Eh. Those roof trim picking up in front line is annoying. Even in Sims 4 EA made it look same way, The only game where you have not such roof trim is Sims 1. Because it even had not such tool LoL.

Are you using a mod that allows you to put 2 doors close together at a corner, like in the hallway of this house?

Nope. No mod needed. It is a graphical glitch... Place the doors with "moveObjects on", go out to the hood and back, and the door will be cut through. Sims will use it like normal. (They don't even know they're not supposed to, silly sims)
You do have to watch for traffic patterns though... bottlenecks are still bottlenecks. I would not recommend exploiting this in a high traffic area.
