Hey all! I've been lurking around the forums a bit and wanted to share the home I built =).
Background:
I built this first because I wanted to build an EPIC home. After having built maybe 50% of it, I decided to put some Sims in and took a family from another file and put them in here. I've played on it for a while now and have bought plenty of things with which to decorate the house.
There is a lot of empty space. I also haven't even gotten close to getting started on the yard. My 3 sims are raking in the money though, so money isn't the problem. Anyway, some pictures! Oh, I also got tired of searching for seeds so I put some spawners in my yard. That's the dots.
Below: Here is the overview of the house. You can see the mini-garden in the corner and the miner in the other corner. When I built this, I took a park and demolished it.
Below: Here is the top floor. This is where Amelia Rivers lives (Doctor Who inspired!). She's a close family friend to the Peaks. She has her own little pool (outdoor), with a bar and a telescope. There's an empty room that sticks out right next to the pool that I'm not sure what to do with. It's kinda like an observatory right now.
Below: The main floor! The first thing you may notice is that you can see a man trapped inside the kitchen. He's a paparazzi who keeps coming back and I wanted to experiment with a torture chamber. There are huge windows so people can watch him suffer =). In the kitchen you can see the butler's room. The main area obviously lacks decour; it was completely empty when the family moved in.
Below: The fun floor! See for yourself all the goodies that are here =). Yes; I put a club in my basement. There's a Jacuzzi in there too. Yes, that's a pool you see in B2.
Below: The domain of the Peaks! There's a child's room, the room of all things skill-based, a secret tunnel (that may lead to other secret rooms of secrecy in the future).
I intend to make the child into a traveler, and she will fill this home with goodies that she finds in her travels. There's also a display case you can't really see with some of the gems the Peaks found using the miner.
It's a pity that the sims only use like 1% of this awesome house. This house is like only 50% furnished too. Haven't even touched the "yard". Any ideas? I wanted to make a "leaning tower" 5 stories high... Oh, this is so much like minecraft!
