I don't know why some recolors don't show up when I package a lot, but I don't want to leave any creators out of the credits, especially when they've played such a vital role in my inspiration for designing and furnishing lots.

I've had this house around for a while and played it a few times with different Sims. This time around I played it with a Sim who was on the architect career track, and he inspired me to make a few design changes. Originally, it was much bigger, with room to expand up -- something I never did and figured I probably never would. So I made it a little smaller and added a lap pool because that's how he likes to work out.

This is a modern home, designed with clean straight lines, which is reflected in the landscaping. It has an open floor plan with shared living and dining areas connected to a compact kitchen with a breakfast bar. Behind closed doors is a small bath, and a large bedroom with a study area.

Wood ceilings on the covered entrance and two covered patios soften the effect of all that concrete and help to extend the indoors out. This is especially true of the rear patio, which feels like an extra room and is great for entertaining.

The idea for this house came from a picture I found on Google Images some years ago. I haven't been able to find that picture again but I found one very similar, which I've included here. In the original picture the house was red and white, which I loved and kept. The plan was for two bedrooms, but I made it a single. There was also a door to the front patio but I got rid of it because my Sims preferred it to the proper entrance.

The hedges are plastic. This is because the gardener couldn't access hedges in the planter. So you won't need gardener service.

This lot has been a favorite of mine in all its incarnations, and I've always enjoyed playing it. I hope you do too.
