What do you build into your houses?
SimulatedDork:
I rarely ever build to house plans since I hadn't really invested time into finding some good ones (thanks for the link above :)). Most of my houses come from my imagination - that's why they look sort of jumbled :P
As to what's included, depends who's living there. But -
- All houses are built on 2x2 or 3x1 lots, with very few exceptions. Anything bigger is pointless as there always seems to be enough room for a garden and nice house in that space. I am also into townhouses with minimal front gardens, so this is ideal.
- Almost all my houses have La Fenetre (funky accent insert) windows to them. The Maxis ones are OK but I prefer Windkeeper's.
- All "main rooms" consist of a television, a sofa, a coffee table and a decoration/floorlamp either side of the sofa. Then I customize the rest of the room to the family.
I don't really plan for sim-functionality, but more for what looks good and what suits the family. A lot of non-functional crap lies around in bedrooms, bathrooms etc. That is, when I can be bothered to build. Most of my lots are Wolfsim's and edited by me (again with the jumbled look).

Thanks for the incense and ideas.... the closet dresser, the one that looks like clothes on a pole. Anyone know where to find it?
Great tip on the album Zazazu. I wish you could enter the album in build mode with no family though.. :(
Man, so many people do a lot of the things I do or have done in the past...
OMG thank you for the link to ChinafanSims, the essential oil kit looks awesome! Oh, I hope it works right....

To me, the windows look like windkeeper's
Ooh. Those do look nice. I'm guessing, since there's two of you raving about her windows, that there's no light problems with these? I've been a little leery of custom windows since a bunch I downloaded pretty much didn't let any light into the house. They were gorgeous and all kinds of funky, but they didn't let any light in.

I don't know for the version you can download on the chinafansims site, but it is also available on MTS2 and the version up there is compatible with pets and works like a charm.
I personnally twicked it to be much more expensive though (and to be compatible with OFB shelves so I can sell it in my businesses).
I really enjoy this thing.

No problems at all with lighting. Also, her sets include the needed meshes for putting them on the diagonal.
Zazazu: I hadn't checked back recently to see the addition to the waterfront series- I only had the original set and the doors. (Nooooo- need the Long Island door set too. Must resist...) My downloads folder is not going to thank you. :D
