The Blue Orchid
The blue orchid is a true blue (haha) family home with all the comforts and luxuries the modern family is used to.
Blue is my favourite colour as is building Sim houses, I thought it would be a good combination for my first original house.
Since I got pets I felt that routing became a large problem, that's why this lot is as spacious as i can make it. The light blue/white combination also give a feeling of airiness and space. I also used mostly cheap furniture so the cost of the house would be reasonable.
So please stop by and smell the Blue Orchid.
This lot includes:
- Underground parking with exercising machines
- Garden with vegetable patch, fish-able pond, seating area, chess table and bbq
- 2 bathrooms, 1 with bath upstairs.
- Master bedroom
- Children room with bunk bed
- Study area in the living room
- Butterflies! Yup your own butterflies fluttering about
I usually write here what the house is based on... but it's not based on anything whoot!
So uhm.... oh, it's base game + Generations due to mostly the kids room and spiral stairs. But it really is a great house if you have pets as well. Lots of room for your pets and a dog house outside painted blue is really cute. (But you really don't need pets for this lot)
Important things / suggestions:
- There is a bit more space on the left side of the lot, extend the garden if you want.
- There is no garden gate in the front. Why? Because visiting Sims would go through the gate to the door by the vegetable patch or the back door and not use the front door... weird huh?
- Good for pets, but you don't need to have pets.
- The garbage can might shift when lot is placed.
- Fishes and butterflies! What more can you ask?
