1951 Mid Century Modern: The Clerestory
- 1953 Chevrolet Corvette by Fresh-Prince @MTS
- RC 1953 Chevrolet Corvette by Tre Zillah @MTS
- RC Invisible Driveway & Extensions by roddyaleixo @MTS
- Glass-Wood Bathroom by Mustluvcatz @MTS The Stack of Towels is slaved to the Hanging Towels, which you'll need for them to show correctly in the game.
- Metro Windows by Tiggy-27 @MTS You'll need the master mesh for the windows to work correctly.
This 2BD/1BA home was a daring design for 1951, but would pave the way for popular home designs of the '60s that incorporated high ceilings with clerestory and a wall of windows that filled the home with light, created better air flow (no airconditioning in the 50s!) and invited the outdoors in. I love it! And I love its small size.
Keeping it small, I shortened the depth of the house by one tile, got rid of the basement stairs and the optional utility room, and borrowed space from the kitchen to enlarge the bath. The kitchen is small, but it works, and it improves overall traffic flow. I also got rid of the closets near the entrance to add more space to the second bedroom, which desperately needed it.
There's a covered carport with a long room for storage (just need to add a door). It doesn't have a pool, but there's room for one. At one time when I played this house with a full family of Sims I added a pool, and the view from the living and dining room was beautiful.
Yep; I played this small lot with a family of three Sims who loved to entertain and always had a house full of guests. It's an easy lot to play and has a pleasant laid-back feel to it. It would make a perfect home for a hip young couple or a single Sim. Or you could play it like I did with a family of three.
Hope you enjoy it!

About Me
Lots: Feel free to do whatever you please with them in the privacy of your own game. Please don't upload them anywhere. The only exception is if you remodel one of my lots and want to upload it here to MTS. This, you are welcome to do. Creativity is never more free than when it's bouncing happily off the ideas of others. A link to your remodel would be nice, but it's not essential.
Walls, Floors and Recolors: These may be included in lots uploaded only to MTS.
