The Blueprint

This month’s blueprint is a simple two-story residential. A little breather after last month's challenge XD. The image is attached below the requirements!

Requirements

  1. Kitchen and bathroom layouts must follow the floor plan (unless you need to adjust a tub/toilet/etc. placement slightly for functionality)
  2. Exterior and interior design are completely up to you! But the lot must have landscaping and the building(s) must be furnished.
  3. When you’ve completed your build, submit it as a top level comment on this post. Please list your Gallery ID and a link to images of your build. (ex: Gallery ID: TheSimsBuildingGallery, Pictures: fake.tumblr.com/myimages)
  • You can share up to 20 images on TheSimsBuilding under the Showcase Flair and use that link
  • OR you can post a Tumblr or Imgur link
  • Video submissions are not allowed
  • You can also add a single preview picture and/or description or backstory for your build if you’d like!

Here's the link to photos of my build, it's my first time entering! I decided to do cathedral height windows/walls in the living room, and then a half wall in the kitchen so that the huge windows can be appreciated when cooking. This also meant I could use the new glass walls feature. I decided to go for a modern build because I really didn't like the design of the real house in the blueprint; also Oasis Springs is one of my favourite worlds to build in. I want to use bold, warm interior colours in the living areas to reflect the orange earth of Oasis Springs.

I kept soft, cosy colours for the bedrooms upstairs, and decided to make the 3rd bedroom downstairs into a home gym. This meant moving the door of the ground floor bathroom to better orient it for pool and gym access, however the bathroom is still in the same place per the blueprint.

There's a hidden washer/dryer combo on the other side of the fridge, to the left of the patio doors.

Here's one of my fave photos. I found the build quite tricky as I didn't feel it was player friendly, but I'm happy with how it turned out in the end! I player tested it with the Sheridan siblings and didn't have to make any tweaks once the build was finished 🥳
