Super cool. Great use of space and it looks awesome. Love that there's a real billboard in the background of the photo!

haha cool as hell.. ..again.. i love these micro houses..

I would love to see a bunch of micro houses on a larger lot. Enough to fill the max number of sims (I think 8 EA defualt). Like 1 micro house per sim.. that would be cool!

How very odd... I mean, the house you've created for the sims is cool. I'm definitely downloading and putting it in my game. But I'm having trouble seeing why any *real* person would want to live in one of these...

Well, after looking at the link someone kindly posted above, I think I can see the allure. Now instead of living like a hermit on top of a mountain, you can kind of just stick your house on the side of the mountain. Now no one will ever bother you again.

You did a wonderful job with this. I especially like the way you integrated the staircases. Quite lovely! Thank you so much for creating and sharing this. It's just hella neat.

The stairs took a while. I had to use CFE to lower the end walls to half size. Then I added the floor for that end. Creating the half-height floors.

Once I did that I placed the stairs. You have to do them from the top floor down however. If you do them from the bottom up your top ones will not place.

When I first did them I had the ones leading from 2nd floor to 3rd floor right over the ones for 1st floor to 2nd floor, and my sims could not go up the stairs (which was annoying cause it worked in sims 2). So thus I had to do the staggered stairs and have a set in the center spot. Originally the center was open and you could see straight down to the bottom floor.

I could post a tutorial if anyone wants one. Might take me a couple of days.

More complicated than I thought, Im not that good with CFE.
A tutorial would be awesome, although that was sort of like... a mini one right there.
