It is a good idea, since a lot of us zorched our Maxis houses because they were such great buckets of phail.

I love all of these! I'm so fail when it comes to building houses for my Sims- I'll probably end up grabbing most of these. I've been putting up with EA shit for too long.

Hecubus: That house is awesomesauce.  Perfect for a Takemizu vacation home.  The roof where the side bit attaches to the main part of the house is a bit wonky, but I don't think there's anything to be done about it with that type of roof anyway.  This is probably the most unique entry so far.

Cockroach: I like your style, though I will probably remodel the upstairs because the hall is such a funky shape.  It doesn't strictly have to be made available for download if it would be a lot of trouble to upload it, but it is encouraged.  If your file size is to big to attach to your post, try opening an account at 4shared or another free file hosting site.

Noted, and put on the list.
And ouch, Cockroach, careful on the typing.  The typos, they ow! :-(

Hm, thanks Zaza & BastDawn.  Dunno what went wrong, then.  I do have FT, but maybe the download was corrupted.  I shall try again, then.

Why thank you. Yeah, that roof bit is wonky, but it's the way EAxis makes the eaves on the asian-inspired roofs. It's maddening! I suppose I could have shortened that section, but then I'd have been mesing too much with basic structure. Oh well. Maybe a tall pine there will hide it. Wink

Yay Hec! Yours is so different! I love everyone's stuff so far Cheesy Cockroach, which ep's/sp's do you have?


The one thing I hate about driveways is the fact you can't have a proper perimiter(sp?) fence really as you can't draw one in front of the driveway. Spoils the look. Sad

I'm behind on commenting, so here it is:

Gethane: Loving the overall look of the place! Much better atmosphere!

tlhs: Big, roomy, looks great, inside and out!

Hecubus: Dang! Bury us why don't you?  Cheesy I take it that the awesome roof comes with BV?

Cockroach: Nicely done! Love the Mediterranean look, use of space and the two story columns! I always forget about those!

Snowbawl: You can load it up for pictures and empty it for upload. I had to with mine because it was barely under the limit. I thought it would be easier for others to deal with.

I'm still downloading even though I can't use some of these just yet. Working on getting some more EP's now. Incredible job, everyone!

Edited for clarification.
Edit #2 Snowbawl: What wasn't I thinking? I'm sorry about that. Must have been tired.

@Cockroach, please make yours available for download.  At 4shared, it is very easy to set up an account and upload.  I love the look of the house.  You did an awesome job.  I would change the upper floorplan as well...but that's just me.  It definitely shows some uniqueness.

I love seeing all the different looks for this house. So many 190 Sim Lanes to download, so little room in my neighborhood.

Hecubus: Your makeover is so unique. It's weird, after I finished mine I wondered how that house would look redone with the game's Asian theme objects, and well--there it is. Beautiful job.

Love the Asian style house too. In fact I've done over the Picaso lot in Desiderata in a similar style. If I ever finish this damn assignment and get my research survey online, I might get to actually PLAY!

I'll upload some of my other Maxis redecorated lots over the next few weeks, but I'm really keen to have a go at this one too.

Bloody homework, haven't even booted the game for four days.

I'm loving all the different styles and layouts. I like the Mediterranean look and also Annan's clean style.

This may will get disqualified, as I originally made the house using a few bits of CC (mostly hacked objects), but removed them with Clean Installer prior to upload, AND IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LOT. Otherwise, it's all Maxis.

EDIT: Doh! I just realised that this challenge is based on a specific lot, and my makeover is of a different lot. Reading comprehension FTW! Oh well, I'll leave it here, anyway, because it may be of some use to somebody. Yes, I am having one of 'those' days.

These are all really beautiful. I meant to mention that in my first post, but I was too embarrassed after being a 'tard and posting the wrong makeover. I had pledged to not go on a downloading binge, but I am weak and made of phail. *yoinks many houses*

Heh! Mind curse? Nah. That's what you get for running in a maze without a map. Tongue

Of course! Have it available soon.    Wink
Added: Strangel, that didn't work out very well as the file is too big with everything with it. Would you settle for partially furnished, instead?

I have offering. I tried to make it reasonably awesomespec. Decor is inspired by house across the road (exterior), and all those people who get a bit carried away watching Changing Rooms and similar, where designers perpetrate cruel practical jokes with colour. Otherwise known as "Dear God, what were they thinking?

Front view:

(Note the bamboo screening for nudist hippie types who hot tub in the nude.)

Back, featuring caffetorium, pet area and fishing pond:


Top view, upper floor:


Top view, main floor:


Deceptively tasteful study, with original fireplace:


Overview of ground floor:


Is partially furnished about 132k. Since the coffee bush, none of my sims sleep much, but there is a possible third bedroom upstairs, should you need. Also, room to put in more skilling objects or career rewards.

Now, where is that updated nudist hack?
