Just something I was playing around with a Bakery with a bar & Dance floor/ dj booth

This is the new house of my career legacy family. It's basically just a shell. Still some missing doors and windows. It's somewhere along $145,000. After my legacy family diligently farmed dragonfruits, they were able to afford this. The house is far from complete as I am still on the 2nd generation with the 3rd gen growing up soon.

I started this house with the idea of making a house on a cliff. Any thoughts on what I should name this house? Is 'Career Legacy House' too mundane? At the moment I'm just calling it Dreamhouse.

Indira that is amazing!

[sdhoey]

OMG! You guys are all so so talented. these are GREAT.

@Indira That looks amazing. When I first saw it I was like how did she do that. Then it finally sunk in what I was looking at.

[Indira]

Thank you @LenaLJ @sdhoey @grimsoul I'm glad you like it.  The idea for this house germinated from when @Joria was showing her cave dwelling and I mentioned it here as well. It only came into fruition last night.

It's still empty inside with only the old furnishing my Sim Family owns at the moment. I'm supposed to fill it with career rewards mostly. Under the house it's just empty. But there is a 'secret underground path' which is not yet finished. This house will most probably be hard to navigate especially for working people and for the children going to school. It's a long way down to the bus stop. lol. I also need to fill the place up with hanging vines and trees.

I still have a copy of the undecorated and unMOOed version if anyone is interested in decorating it themselves. I plan on posting two versions of the house as soon as I'm done with my Career Legacy. The finished one with career rewards and the unblemished and untouched one.


@XxMousiexX Are those windows in front colored ones? Is it part of Spa pack? I haven't used that pack yet. Still have a million items in Sims 4 yet undiscovered.  The expansions are coming too fast for me, and I love it!

[Joria]

INDIRA!!!!!  O!M!G!  This is fantastic.  I WANT it, (please).  This is one of the most exciting and fabulous builds I've seen in a long time.  It must have taken you forever.  More screenshots please.  However did you do all this?  You just totally amaze me.

[Indira]

@Joria I can try and post the shell within the next two weeks. I'll probably need to MOO in the plants as the space is tight and the cliff walls are still in need of climbing vines.

When I get back in-game I'll take a few shots of the place. I'm limited on the funds as of now, so I couldn't decorate much.

[Joria]

No rush.  I will patiently await your completion.  Make it as nice as you wish.  I'll just enjoy the anticipation.

@Indira

yes those are windows in behind the Spa Day Waterfall. I though it would make a great place for the tables to sit so sim's could sit & look out. Great House btw

[Indira]

Thanks @XxMousiexX


@Joria here are a few more screenshots of the house on the cliff:

This is the balcony that is central to my creation. In-game, it looks down on the 'hidden lagoon' below. I want to have cascades in here coming from the water where kids are swimming on the right, as well as from the one on the left. I don't know yet if it is feasible to do that. I don't want too many water sprouts as it might be prone to bugs and glitches, or make the game lag so much.




This is the view from below with the house reflected on the water. As you can see, the cliff walls only look good if there are hanging vines and climbing roses to make it a bit more realistic as it can get in Sims 4. If I can add cascades, it would be terrific!




The plateu and the multilevel pools were the first that was created. They can be done without any MOO. Just takes a little bit of hammering. There are 4 levels of pools created.
1. ground lvl
2. on foundation
3. 2nd floor
4. 3rd floor.
The 3rd and 4th floors are used for the main house itself.




The back view of the house and cliff face. Still bare and needs quite a lot of decorating.




Side view of the house. I ran out of space for the house to settle in place comfortably. So part of the house is built on the edge of the cliff itself. I didn't want to redo the base anymore. It would undo too much work that was already done. Maybe a 60x60 lot is needed to fully satisfy this.




I made the shell and wallpapering for one night. I was in a most inspired mood that time.  Then I estimated the cost, and made my legacy family work their butts off to have at least $150,000 so they can afford the place plus extra for the bills. I don't know how long it will take me to finish this as the house is bound to my legacy family and need the careers finished so I can use the rewards as fuurnishing. Currently have $34k and will add to the decors when I get $100k. Let's hope for a fast progress!

[Joria]

Amazing!  I am more and more impressed with this.  Have you gotten Connections so you can use the careers/connections ploy to get more money?  Take your time and enjoy this.  Don't want to get burned out.  Your legacy family is going to be really happy to have this fabulous place to live.

[Indira]

@Joria, I thought I'd let you see 'The House on the Hill' when it is spruced up on the outside.

Daily harvesting of Dragonfruits have been quite fruitful and the family had saved more than 200,000! They are quite rich even when they have only reached the 3rd generation. Right now, I hid most of the perfect plants already as I don't really need the money anymore , maybe later for the underground expansion I am planning.

Since it's a career legacy, I want to have rooms dedicated to each career, if possible. Still trying to see how I will divide the rest of the property so that the rooms won't look out of place. I'll probably make extensive use of the 2 basement levels.

Front View There are two falls in the inner lagoon. I know a real lagoon is quite big, but it sounds really nice, so I'm still going to use that name. There are also a couple more falls on the left side. It won't be seen with these screenshots, but they are there. Thank you so much @XxMousiexX , if not for you, I wouldn't have discovered yet the spa day waterfall.



Back View I really like how the back looks. It's probably the black rocks that did it for me.

[Joria]

Thank you, Indira.  It just keeps getting better and better.  It's like a fairy tale building.  So beautiful.
