120 Wright Way - Modern three bedroom clifftop with two-level pool
The main entry to the house is at street level, but there are two separate basements. Why? The floor plan is divided by a two-level pool that runs right down the middle.
It sounds wacky, but it actually works pretty well. The living area is up top, and the bedrooms are down below. Under the eaves are some nice, open loft spaces that have been turned into a study, an artist's space and an exercise area:
When you look at the whole lot, it comes off almost as a compound. The two halves of the main house are really separate buildings that are joined on one floor, and there is also a separate garage and a garden shed (perfect for starving neighbors, and useless for every other conceivable purpose).
All in all, this is a fun house to play. It has plenty of sleeping space, and lots of nooks and crannies. Just don't open the window in the kids room. Nobody has that many paper towels.
Lot Size: 4x3
Lot Price: 199k / 98k
Additional Credits:
I used some Store stuff:
- Annie's Well-Organized Shelf
- Ceiling Torchiere
- Arts and Crafts Bookshelf
- PlasmaTron TV
- Chesapeake Bay Window
- Elegant Swirls Wide
- Overachieving Bookshelf
- The Insulator
- Three of a Kind Wall Lamp
I don't like to do this, but you really will want the windows. It was hard to make this house work without them.
Anything I built wouldn't be crap without custom content though.
There are a bunch of paintings from Sims Art Gallery. Get them here, here, here, here, here and here.
Objects from right here at MTS also made it in:
- BabaYaga's Patternable/ Recolorable Decorative Plates and Custom Patterns
- Hazuitokage's The Stampede
- Lemoncandy's Study Clutter
Finally, the plants on the Chesapeake Bay Windows are from Stylist Sims, and are actually resting on a wall shelf that was placed with moveobjects. Why those giant bay windows don't have the built-in ability to serve as shelves I have no idea. The relevant shelf is part of SimsLulamai's Sophisticated Dining Room Set. Get that here (it needs free registration). The file you want is named luna_estante.package -- you don't even need the separate pattern if you're just going to bury the thing in the wall anyway.
