I'm ecclectic in my taste for houses, but I love old houses the most. I grew up in a small town in north Texas where old victorian houses reigned on tree-lined streets. It wasn't hard to imagine ladies sitting on porches in white lawn dresses sipping southern sweet tea (if its not so sweet it hurts your teeth, it's not southern sweet tea) or playing croquet on lawns so green and thick they looked like carpet.
Of course, all of those houses were white, but as a general rule, or so the research I've done tells me, Victorian era houses were rarely white, inside or outside. There are as many color schemes as there are individiual imaginations, from the more subtle colors of nature to the bold and flashy Painted Ladies.
I stumbled on a few sites with authentic and/or historic floorplans and found this lovely little victorian that I knew I had to try to build. I hope I have done justice to it.
It is designed to re-capture the charm and ambience of turn-of-the-century houses. While it does look like an older home, the floorplan is designed to accomodate modern lifestyles.
It features a single story floor plan with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, formal dining room and a 2 car garage. It is perfect for a small family. There is plenty of room for gardening and expansion, up, down, or out.
*NOTES AND DISCLAIMERS*
Due to Sims 2 insistance that the driveway be at the front of the house, the house has a few quirks.
It must be placed on a corner lot (think backwards L) or the front of the house will not face the street.
When your sims first move in, the taxi will show up in the front yard facing the house.
The bus, carpool, service people, etc, will stop at the side of the house where the driveway is. Your sims and visitors will use the front door, though.
Included, but not shown are a few additional plants inside the house. It was a last minute decision after taking the pictures.
