A simple and cozy home with a hint of "modern-look", Nekoya Ashgrey is a great home for a family of any size to start in. One of the prominent features of the house is the sleek, angled roof that gives this house a modern feel on the outside, but as soon as you step through those double oak doors, the house opens into a casual, but inviting, spacious living room.



On the right, you'll see a small room that can be made in a small home office or as a small library. It's also great as a pet room or a room for your children to play in while you relax in the living room. If you're in need of an extra bedroom, simple add a door to it.

On the left had side, you will notice steps leading up to the kitchen. The kitchen overlooks the living room, so you can cook and enjoy the view of your living room or keep an eye on the little ones running about. ^^

The kitchen is fully functional with a stove, sink and fridge. There is plenty of counter space for cooking up a special party. There is also an eating/dining area that can easily be upgraded to sit four people.


From the kitchen, you will see stairs leading to the upper level of the house, which opens to a landing [potted plant in picture is included]. ^^ There is a full bath and 2 bedrooms on this floor. One of them is the Master bedroom and the other can be used as a guest room or 2nd bedroom.

Overall, the house gives a spacious yet comfortable feeling. From the hardwood floors to the neutral carpeting, the house is ready for move in right away. This is a great home for the family looking for a little extra space or for those who like entertaining a lot of guests - either way, the house's features will provide you with a wonderful backdrop for all your special memories.



Comments: As you can see, I still don't know much about building a roof (does anyone know of a good roof building tutorial? ^^; ) However, I really wanted to make a split level house where the kitchen overlooked the living room, so I decided to give this a try. It's not a true split level house, I think, but I had a lot of fun building this.

Notes: I play tested this in just the base game and then with all expansions up to Seasons. I didn't find any problems, however, the kitchen and the living room do act as separate levels during game play. For example, if your Sim is in the kitchen, you will still see the other Sims moving about in the living room, but the furnitures in the living room will not show.

So if a Sim is sitting on the couch in the living room, from the kitchen level, he might look like he is floating. ^^; I have tried turning Object Hide off, but for me, it didn't display the objects. If you have any suggestions, please let me know!

In any case, I have played my sim for a day in that house and I'm still playing it because I like the split level effect. ^^;

Please let me know if you run into any problems.

There are no custom contents.

As always, thank you to all those who comment and give thanks! Please enjoy this house! ^o^
