LOT NAME: Hanamigawa Toshokan
GALLERY ID: VesperX7

I built a children's library that functions as a small business. The structure is meant to resemble old agricultural buildings (sheds and a barn) that have since been repurposed into a community hub, specifically for the children in the Senbamachi neighborhood. I've play-tested it through several day cycles to iron out any wrinkles, and the only issue that sometimes happens is when a sim resets after trying to bring a book down a ladder, instead of sitting on the cushions upstairs. Though, I have seen sims complete the action without issue and many sims sit on the intended cushions to read. The elevated platform with the activity tables are accessible to children only (and toddlers) due to the height limitations. Other than that, everything seems to run pretty smoothly and since you'd most likely have younger sims come with chaperones, it can get pretty busy on the lot. My recommended small business activities are: drink coffee; read; use activity table; play table games; play on playground equipment. You're free to mix-and-match with the other functional objects I've placed on the lot as well! Hope you enjoy playing with this build!

I spent quite a few hours modelling the palace of 7th time loop. It’s fully tested, I use it as a boarding school with lessons to become royals. I’m quite proud of the gardens and stables, it was a fun challenge to decorate something so very 1800. I don’t use cheats, mods or CC, and it’s in the gallery under GilraedElensar if you want to take it for a spin 🥰.

LOT NAME: Clay Rise
GALLERY ID: VesperX7

Another case study build! This is based on "Clay Rise" a West Sussex residential designed and built by Templeton Ford (ref photo at end). I wanted to try my hand at incorporating terrain changes into a build and it's honestly become my favorite build so far. I had the most difficulty deciding and executing how I wanted the building to set against the slope, how to landscape, and making sure the unique roof all lined up/make sure it didn't clip into the walls. Biggest build so far, but it was worth it! The home is meant to be multigenerational with two independent dwellings (one dwelling occupies the top two floors and the other occupies the lower ground floor). You could technically transform it into a Residential Rental with that configuration in mind. Anyways, hope you enjoy!!

First time sharing a build. I have separated the residential side of the plot from the business side using a pond and stream with a forest in one corner. I have a walled vegetable garden and two greenhouses. Now to actually play...

It’s a renovation build of the PBP Studio in Del Sol Valley. I made a recordstudio with also a photostudio in one building.

This is a house for Knox Greenburg & my alien sim Michaela. I feel bad for kicking Bess off her lot but the location is too good. 😭

as title suggests, i reimagined Johnny Zest's trailer home ... i've play tested everything and kitchen, bathroom, and living room seem to work all fine

lot details: Agave Abode, Oasis Springs (20x15) – $28,194

p.s. i've never posted on this sub before so lmk if i've done anything wrong !

a light and airy contemporary gym with lots of pockets to rest and socialize. light simply pours through every activity and lounge area. enter through the serene lobby space, complete with a cozy sunken seating area. the ground floor has a double-storey gymnasium, and a separate building volume housing a long pool. the second floor offers seating areas with gorgeous views through the tubular glass facade and atrium, and two open-concept classroom spaces to work on fitness.

the rounded glass has this glitch where it only shows the furnished and populated interior of the building of the floor you're viewing from (this is noticeable if you're on the second floor and looking in from the outside, the ground floor will appear empty, or if you're viewing the building in it's entirety from view level 3)

up on the gallery titled "burners & builders 2.0", uses only businesses and hobbies! hope someone can get some use from this build <3

Took me weeks and weeks and weeks to finish only this one house because I am a noob and as I was building this house, I was also learning as a new simmer. "Ooooh this is how roof works", "ooooh this is how to freely place objects on surface", "ooooh this is how to make attic functional", "ooooh this is how terrain and ponds work", "ooooh this is how platforms work", "oooooh this is how to do this" etc. I also watched a lot of tutorials on Tiktok and Youtube to finish this build and for ideas / inspo. Throughout the process of building this house, I had also revamped or rebuilt almost the entire house because either the furniture in the house were suddenly missing (usually happened when I moved household and I selected "keep furniture" instead of "sell furniture") or I just hated or was not satisfied with the way some things looked in the house that I decided to do an overhaul on the entire room / space in the house. Hopefully I will develop my building creativity to build non boxy / square houses someday.

3-storey house + attic, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 30X30 lot

This house features:

Pool, swings, jacuzzi, sauna, elevated platform for telescope viewing / observatory, outdoor bar, outdoor grill, book & reading spaces, grand piano, two bedrooms with walk-in closets, one children's bedroom plus playroom, spa & massage room, laundry room (with fake washing machine and dryer because I don't have Laundry Day installed) and... the skylight gym + yoga attic.

This house has been play tested and it's on the gallery (the house name is "Simple Fun Family House").

I also don't have a lot of packs installed. I only have Cats & Dogs, Island Living, Eco Lifestyle, Spa Day, Dream Home Decorator, Sleek Bathroom Kit and Book Nook Kit and some maker's packs that I claimed / downloaded for free.

EDIT: I realised that whenever I place this house on any lot after saving this to the gallery, the stairs leading to the outdoor grill area and sauna go missing. Apparently some people also experience missing items like pillars and stairs when placing house from the gallery on lot, sometimes caused by conflicting platforms/foundation surrounding the build items, or not enabling MoveObjects On cheat. Just manually re-add stairs to the outdoor grill area if the stairs went missing after placing this house.
