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!

Here is an overview of the complex!

The homes face out onto the street. The door to get in from the garden side of the complex. Everyone’s gate and column is different and matches the decor theme of the home. The garden is a maze! Detailed pictures of the garden coming up soon.

The lobby is pretty nice and has lots of amenities available. The huge aquarium on the bottom floor is nice and new. Up top there is a suana, pool table, games, and a gym. Also a barre, my favorite.

The hardest part was building the modular stairs because the stairs that come with the game are the straight kind. You have to do some mod work to get around it and it took some research and patience. It’s not perfect, there are floors that can’t be built on, as you can see on the top floor, but….oh well. There are loft areas in the house now! hah.

This took me about…6 hours total. Time flies @_@.

Here are some, and you can see more if you click.

The front

The side

The family and dining room. Or was it living…I get those two messed up. What’s the difference anyway? I gave my brother a nice mahjong table, a bookcase because he likes to read, a piano, a silly violin in the corner (in case, you know, you want to smash something), and I actually like the couch. The dining table is long with a long runner rug because he said he was looking for a rug at Ikea.

The kitchen, viewed from the living room. I’ve always liked pots hanging from the ceiling. The wood is the darkest Sims had without being black. The closets on the left are supposed to be large cabinets but they don’t really have big cabinets in Sims so I improvised. The TV has plants in the back because that’s how he said he wanted to do it @_@. Make more room for a bigger tv.

This is the top floor, the master is on the right. Just a couple design ideas. The umbrella is the focus on my design. And the disco light ball. Also got him a big plasma tv on the wall. The closet has clothing strewn around the floor. The kids rooms have appropriate beds, like the coffin bed at the top left.

I like the little gnome. The trees are japanese maple, but it’s Winter in the game so you can’t see the leaves <: (

Nice hammock

A globe since my brother is good with countries. Little robot guys.

A little more on the couch and modern coffee table.

Framed photography.

Nice car…

Kitchen with island.

Comfy couches.

The walkway.

View from the left.

Master closet.

My brother on his Poang chair that he has. That’s also a Billy bookcase…not sure if he has that from Ikea.

The bear is essential too.

There’s a Gundam on the desk in the office also…can’t see it from here. I also like the coffin bed.

The troublesome stairs. You can see the open loft area. In actuality, you can’t see the open space from the second floor, but on the first floor, if you look up, you will look all the way up to the roof.
