Dobbin's Delight, a residence. Does not contain horse whisperer secrets.

(1/4) > >>

witch:
Dobbin's Delight is a residential home on a 50x50 lot. I built it on one of the free sections near the horseshoe road in Appaloosa Plains. Map to follow. The main house is 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. Somehow I ended up with a yellow/red/white/black decorating scheme this time.The barn in the corner of the property has a loft section with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom for the stablehands. There is a home paddock for the horses and another paddock for jumping/racing. The family have not been neglected, they have a hot tub, vegetable garden and firepit in their own garden. §135,990 wanded. Oh and the stayaway gnomes are all under a tree by the front door.

I use Moryrie's packages and Jezzer's sims3pack counters.

One thing I forgot to do is customise the lights to get rid of the white bloom. I usually pick a creamier colour and put in custom R/G/B values to soften the effect a bit.

The Zetatard is going to be very disappoint when he downloads it and finds out "Dobbin's Delight" is a house.

Lorelei:
Nice job!

Could you please explain/share that bit?

I couldn't help but to giggle that the sims in your house have the same tiles in the bathrooms as in the kitchen. My first question(s) if I saw that irl would be 'Did you buy too many tiles?'/'Were they on sale?'. Apart from that; I like the layout, much room but not too empty.

witch:
You can click on lights and set a custom colour. So instead of leaving the default bright white colour, I go into the design mode and pick a slightly yellow/cream colour and using the tabs at the bottom of the colour select section, I write down the Red/Green/Blue values. It's a pity the lights won't take the hex number, but there you go. Anyway, you can then click on any light and set a custom colour. I THINK you can do it to all lights, or room by room as well. I don't know how to do it in build mode, I can only do it when sims are in the house. This gives you a softer light, not so bright white, and helps kill the godawful bloom effect of white walls or benches or whatever.

As to space, I try to give sims a lot of routing room. I loathe many of the EAxis houses as they have routing bottlenecks left, right and centre.

The tiles are all the same on the floors of the rooms with plumbing, but the walls are different between the bathrooms and the kitchen. There were so many patterns and colours at that point I didn't want to introduce any more.
