The cutest house on Hubbard Circle - mine! Three bedroom family home for sale
This is the gem of my houses: my actual house.
My family and I have lived in this house for about 7 years now. I've been trying to build this house in game since I first purchased The Sims 2, about two months after its initial release date, and by God I just couldn't get it. So thanks to some friends with cheats, lol, I've been able to get it as close to reality as Maxis will let me!
Let's go on a tour, shall we?
First, the outside. Here we have the one-car, side-entry garage (in real life it's actually a two-car garage, but the house would have looked weird with a two-car garage) and a cute little rock path to the deck in the back.
(Side note on the rock path: I know this comes with a stuff pack, but I don't know which one, so I just checked all the ones I use. I think it may have come with Family Fun Stuff, but I'm not certain. I know at least Ikea Home Stuff IS required - I used a wallpaper from that game in the largest bedroom upstairs.)
Yes, our back yard really is that small. The house makes up for it with TONS of side yard. My mom loves planting flowers, so for the sake of realism I put a bunch of rose bushes and daisies by the deck, since that's what she would plant. Our real deck is white and has flower boxes and seats instead of fences, but I couldn't make it look right so I just went with this.
I put a bunch of playground stuff on the right side of the yard for the little ones. We don't really have all that cool equipment in our yard - we just have empty space and our neighbor's driveway, but I couldn't just leave it empty.
If your Sims like to cook (or you enjoy having them in the kitchen, OR if you have Kitchen and Bath Stuff) then you will LOVE this kitchen. Our kitchen is HUGE compared to the rest of the house, and it really is where most of the family hangs out for the majority of the day. The family room is connected to it; in our house, there's a step down into the family room, but there really wasn't any convenient way to do that in-game. Through the arch off the back, there's the dining room, which flows right into the living room.
Upstairs is pretty basic, you can get a closer look at the bedrooms in the pictures below. The fun part is in the master bedroom Yes, I'm aware that I made the master bedroom the smallest bedroom in game, and I didn't do it on purpose, but with the clever switching of doors you can change that if you so choose to. In our house, the master bathroom has a jacuzzi bath, double-headed walk-in shower (two shower heads - one on each side!), enclosed toilet (where the toilet is in its own room) and walk-in closet. In game, it looks like the master bath is almost as big as the master bedroom. I couldn't really make the toilet enclosed - the door situation would have gotten hairy and confusing for your Sims. Besides, it looks so much nicer and more open with a simple little half wall there instead.
Our house has a basement (that's where my room is - it's like having my own apartment, lol!) but I couldn't get the windows to let in light. I had the walls put up and everything was perfect, and then when I went to put in windows, they went in just fine, but no light. So i said, you know what? Forget it. I don't like windowless basements.
I really wish I could include more than 4 inline pictures :/ I'm so glad I was finally able to make this house look good (at least, in my opinion, it looks good. My Sim family loves it.)
Thanks to MaryLou for her Independent Expressions windows, and the Belhooven Maroo 3-tile window of hers.
PS: This house is not really for sale, in real life. We're still living in it, lol. Oh, and yes, there's supposed to be a skylight in the big upstairs bedroom, but I don't know if such a thing is possible. If someone knows how, please share!
Hope you guys, and your Sims, enjoy it!
