Oh. My. God
I haven't felt this excited about uploading a house since No.9 back in Sims 2!!!

Thanks to a request by ghjit, who asked me to build a Japanese/ Indian themed house that looked like a house you'd see in Las Vegas... in the 70's. I dunno but that's what I associated the hose with =\.
Link to the picture i worked off of is here:

What do you think it looks like?
Anyway, Sims 3 doesn't cater for Japanese or Indian themes so I was asked to go for retro... which, sadly, isn't catered for either. I planned to have modern exterior with a retro interior, but since that fell through, I stuck with modern for both.

I must say, I absolutely love this house!!! I stayed in night mode while I was building cos with the lighting it looked realllllllllly sweet.
A few ideas such as the driveway and entrance I stole from the Pondsomething house in Sunset Valley, Great house that! Bamboo works really nice with anything. And the usage of the different types of windows I stole from another video from Youtube, can't remember it though. but thanks goes to them.
The little Beachy-Oasis think was a 'spur the moment' idea. If you watched my House 4 you'd have seen me dabble with water but didn't use it.

I've also started playing around with feature walls and different shades of colour for each side of a room, like the bathroom.

You're all probably getting tired of me using the same furniture sets and stuff but thats all I got to work with! Hopefully the EP will be out soon for more variety!
The brown shades throughout the house work in my opinion.
When i thought I had finish with the building I realized that there wasn't a bedroom so I just threw one somewhere there was space :s
I'm not entirely happy with the lack of additional bedrooms and bathrooms, but my excuse is that this house is for a very wealthy bachelor!

That's all I can be bothered discussing, so...
Enjoy!

i subscribed to your channel not too long ago and i'm not regretting. after i come home i love seeing your videos in my subscription feed. they make me happy in my paaants.

ok seriously though, are you studying interior design or anything? whenever i try to make my houses they usually end up tacky looking or too big or really weird looking.

KEEP ROCKING!

@phillisphin

[momoizmyname555]

how do you even get to the build mode????

and when you get there there is no place to put the house

im very confused

is it similar to sims 2 where you can just buy an empty lot and then build a house on it

or different

[LuigiRules]

no, u hv to go into the Edit Town mode

then find an empty lot then select Build/Buy

u cant place empty lots

[kohck12]

Wow nice not bad ..

[recorps1]

how big are the lots. are they restricted like sims 2 or can you have mega huge lots. ???

[MultiSaga88]

well i longed to be an Architecture, cause i can design properly, my dad told me that, so i'll do my best to this job!

[MultiSaga88]

really? well i have 9 sims in one big mansion, course is a mansion, i included my 3 pets in my 9 sims.. ^_^

[voldimoret]

@recorps1 you can have up to 7 sims in your house.

[voldimoret]

@momoizmyname555 there is a button to go into build or buy mode. once you have clicked on the house/ empty lot you have chosen for your sims to live on.

[voldimoret]

@LuigiRules you really should, your great :) I chose to be an interior designer a long time ago (im 11), and my houses are still kinda crapy. Any tips on foundation or walls or windows? I usually make my homes big, but not massive.

[CaughtintheCrowd11]

Thats bloody amazing!

[PunkerFlo]

@LuigiRules you can place empty lots...

at edit town mode there is a symbol looking like they symbol for writing skill....klick it

[lemaarten]
