Sims Apartments Part II Complex: Asian house
I’m always fascinated by making the sliding door, separated rooms, lofts. This one was really hard to get two people to live in this space.
The first floor has a small bedroom in the middle. Bathroom is on the bottom floor.
The second floor is interesting. There is another bedroom in the middle with open space on both sides of the room. Imagine living in a room where your two sides are open to the first floor. Open up a window, “hello down there! Can you bring up a coffee?” Maybe even install a pulley system with a basket to transfer food and other items (I had a friend in middle school who did actually do that with her parents. Her parents amused her. How nice!) The second floor also contains the tv. The interesting part is that the second floor bedroom and the second floor itself have their own set of stairs. The bedroom stairs led up to another private room on the third floor that has its own private balcony. The stairs on the second floor lead to a balcony that guests can enter and use. Pretty nifty! I’d love to have my own private space. So exclusive!
In the pictures, the balcony on the left is private (for painting and meditating), the one on the right is public. There is a bookcase and a lounge chair!
For sure, the person that gets the second floor bedroom should pay more rent.
The decor is really asian. Bamboo, sliding floors, paper lanterns, and asian art on the walls.
Sims Apartments Part II Complex: City house
This was the first house I designed in the complex. It’s not amazingly creative. The first floor has a bedroom and kitchen.
The second floor is the living part of the house. TV, music, and the wood floor reaches around the edge of the house, but not the middle. The narrow edge near the windows is where you play darts.
The third floor is another bedroom. You’ll notice that guests can walk all the way up to the third floor and to the balcony without going into the bedroom, so there is privacy.
The walls are a cityscape. This is a bachelor’s pad. The balcony has star tiles, like the walk of fame!
Sims Apartments Part II Complex: Doll House
This is one of my favorte houses in the complex I made: This is a clean girly doll house. Ribbons, pink and offwhite. I love the second floor; there is a big grand piano and it’s open to the first floor with the ledge near the window. I really love lofts. The third floor is just the bedroom, with two balconies: a big one for exercising (treadmill), or stretching, and a little balcony to sit and read Stephen King books at. Perfect. My inner girl squeals with delight.
Taiwan Day 2
On my second full day, my parents and my aunt and cousin, Nathan, took a trip to Yang Ming Mountain to eat some really good chicken. Omg it was good. I don’t usually like chicken. It’s such a common flavor. Everything can taste like chicken. But the chicken here taste soooo good. I don’t know what they feed them but it’s amazing. We had this taro stuff too that was sooooo good. I’m so glad that I like eating taro now when I used to dislike it. Food is so much more fun to eat when you’re less picky. Currently, I’m working on liking bitter melon and assorted beans. Then I think I’ll be done (insects and other exotic animals aside).
Then we went to Dharma Drum Mountain, a Buddhist school for monks to drum? The place didn’t look overbearing at all and was quiet peaceful. None of that, swooping roofs, red and gold dragons or colorful sculptures. It was really modern, sleek, and minimal.
The Center was inaugurated on October 21, 2005. The buildings in the Center were designed in harmony with contours of the mountain, with brown, gray, and white as their main color, reflecting a humanistic spirit while merging with nature, and featuring a simple and moderate architectural style, making the whole environment and the complex itself a means of teaching.
In addition, in effort to realize environmental protection, ecological construction methods were adopted in constructing the buildings, so as to show respect to, preserve, and protect life and natural resources.
This was taken by someone else. Pictures aren’t allow inside the building.
The picture doesn’t do the place justice. There is a glass window behind the statue that you can look through to see the running water on the wall behind it. There is also a pool of water running around her.
Regardless of religion, it’s a really calming place and the design is really nice.
I bought this awesome mug from the gift shop.
The sillhouette is filled with silver foil and lines eminate from him. Totally my favorite cup now.
Later we went to Black Store, a restaurant my brother keeps raving about. It was good. But I felt so guilty in the end. Which is just about every night now for the past 4 days I’ve been here.
