Horsin' Around Ranch House
« on: May 18, 2013, 03:14:44 PM »
Horsin' Around Ranch for Axiom

Hidden in between the mountains and the river lies a ranch. A victorian ranch, like many others around Moonlight Falls. A large garden, a two story stables area, horse jumping obstacles, an underground pool, three bedrooms and a nursery lie within. However, some unusual paintings have been collected over the past 200 years tell a different story to the family-friendly appearance of the Horsin' Around Ranch...

Lot Size: 64x64
Build for: 29S Falls Ave in Moonlight Falls. The landscape is designed to fit in that particular area.
Cost when fully-furnished: $140,116
Cost when unfurnished: $98,413
Bedrooms: 3 plus nursery
Bathrooms: 3

Expansions definitely used: Pets (Pictures, stables, horse items and one or two other things), Supernatural (Pretty much everything in the actual house), Generations (Bits and bobs around the house. Won't affect much if you don't have it.)

Expansions possibly used: World Adventures, Ambitions (Quite likely, knowing me), Late Night, Seasons (I really hope not as Axiom, who requested this build doesn't have it.)

Stuff Packs used: NONE!

EDIT: Please ask for permission before using this build in gameplay that you plan to share online. E.g. Stories. Please do not share this anywhere else.

I never really played with the horse aspect of Pets. Seeing how you can make a ranch like this makes me want to get a horse and build my own. Love the basement pool. Never made one yet but probably will now. ;D

I'm glad this house inspired you to play with horses more and build your own ranch. To me that feels even more rewarding than the views and downloads.

Beautiful job on your ranch bubbles ! The background is so perfect . I had build a farm ranch a while back but never thought of saving it to my library .  ::) Seeing yours makes me feel like trying it again .  :D

Thanks Ladybug! It took over a month to complete around school, homework test revision (I've got a 3/4 of a page monologue in my tiny handwriting to memorize by Wednesday and four minutes of Spanish speaking to memorize for Tuesday) and after school activities. It turned out even better than I expected.

Yes, only eight more school weeks until the 6 week summer holidays!  ;D Expect quite a few houses from late July to the end of August/ first few days of September!

Lovely ranch!  My horses would be  as comfy as the Sims here.  I particularly love the porches.
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

Thanks Joria! The porches were what I wanted to centre the design around. I think I will take some more screenshots as I don't think I've got enough to showcase the interior and garden of the ranch.

Looks great! A question: there is a building in the back of the lot which I am assuming is the stables? Do you have a screenshot of the plan for that?

I'll get one probably tomorrow now, plus maybe a few other picture which will be linked from the Gallery.
EDIT: The picture of the stables is now up. Expect even more over the next week or so.

Did I forget to PM you that it was done? Sorry it took so long to build but it's done and has been for a while.
