Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House
yibble:
The Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright, redone as a Sims 3 house. The interior makes no attempt to duplicate the interior of the original, but is rather an Awesomized lot with a multi-sprog pod, skillination zone, and high-quality appliances.

So, NOT the Robie House by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Not bad, architecturally, if a bit heavy on the dark brick. This is not a deal breaker, since individual users can customize as they wish. On the other hand, it's got a lot of wide open spaces inside, it seems. The screenshots suggest that the distance between shower and terlet are quite far. Given that puddings need to walk places to do things (or run, depending on your settings), this represents lots of wasted time. Perhaps Frank enjoyed his morning walk to the terlet, and subsequent 3 mile hike to the kitchen - builds an appetite for breakfast.

Actually there only seems to be a 2-3 square space between shower and toilet... That's actually pretty reasonable. You also forget that while puddings do need to walk places to do things, they also seem to forget their surroundings sometimes and get stuck and lost quite easily. Most especially in bathrooms when another Sim wanders by. Bathrooms are always major bottlenecks in the game, so the extra couple of squares could be a benefit. Nothing is worse than hosting a huge party when every sim guest suddenly gets stuck in route fail outside a bathroom door because one Sim doesn't have enough space to be "Shooed" out properly before other sims decided to run over to chat. It seems sometimes a sim needs 4 good squares just to do an about face turn out the door.
However the hallways and most of the other spaces of that house seem unnecessarily large though.... I'd say those would be an extra waste of time if anything.

I agree; it was a challenge to use up the available space, and I gave up by the time I got to the basement, which is enormous. Apparently the building was used as a married student dorm in the 20's.
