This rustic home has room for all eight members of an Immortal Dynasty. The exterior of the house is designed in a Hacienda style, and the interior furnishings are a simple ranch-style decor, but with a touch of elegance befitting an Immortal Dynasty. I figured that look would work well for a house with minimum deco, which would hopefully cut down on load times.
A two-room main floor museum makes sure that every generation's prized portraits have a place of honor. There are also platform displays for statues, and shelves and storage for photos or other memorabilia.
The courtyard is a great place to paint, and other skilling equipment is scattered throughout the house. For skilling there is an art room with easel and sculpture station; a science loft with an inventor's bench; chemistry station and gem cutter; an alcove with an alchemy station and potion storage; a professional bar for mixology practice tucked into the butler's pantry; a family room with guitar, TV and bookshelf; and a backyard with a telescope and fishing pond There is a large garden ready to plant, and of course there are mirrors and a big kitchen for charisma and cooking practice, In addition, I deliberately chose lower-end bathroom fixtures and fireplace so there would be plenty of possible upgrades for handy Sims to work on.
The upper level has eight bedrooms and a small nursery with a play table and high chair. The bedrooms are very rudimentary in furnishings, to help cut down on load times. To give them a bit of pizazz without adding lots of deco objects, I used floor tiles and wall styles to add color and to look like rugs. This level also has two full baths to supplement the powder room downstairs.
The exception to the rest of the house's simplicity is the Ambrosia Room, an octagonal dining area with opulent drapes and golden walls and floors, where the Immortal members of the family can eat their Ambrosia while overlooking the interior courtyard or the back patio.
