I tackled starter homes this week!2/11/2023 Well... I woke up on Wednesday and chose violence.
I had watched Deligracy's video of her renovation of Streamlet Single. She completely revamped it, adding an extension and everything, but as she did so, I thought to myself, "Self, what would happen if you tried to re-do this house but didn't change the main structure? And - AND, what if you kept it affordable as a starter?" So, I set out to do just that, and I did! It was extremely difficult, but I managed to create both a fully base game starter home, as well as a starter that mixes in a few things from other packs (mostly Dream Home, Eco, and City items). I'm extremely proud of how it turned out. That led me to a new mission. Why not re-do the entirety of Foundry Cove and do the same thing with Crick Cabana and Daisy Hovel - no change to the external size or shape, just mild updates to the columns and siding, and make new base game starters? So I did. I also built something for Bargain Bend that fits the same aesthetic - the biggest accomplishment though, is that I did all four of these lots in a total time of maybe 10 hours. Usually it takes me that long just for one house. I present to you, the Foundy Cove Makeover! Gold Digging Cabins - Random Update3/16/2022 I have officially started the Millionaire Gold Digger challenge. I'm 2 husbands in, she's pregnant with the 2nd's baby, and while she WAS up by §150,000 or so, she's now down to §11,000 after building a new house. However, this will be her forever house, I'll just have the sugar daddies move in and out.
I've also downloaded TMexi's All Scenarios mod, so now I have access to the scenarios that have already expired, and I might consider tackling a few of the older ones that I ignored. Could be fun! Lastly, I already revamped all the cabins in Granite Falls, but I think I'm going to go back in and re-do a few things. I had no intent on sharing them when I first did them, so I was quite liberal with the CC use. My plan is to go back and re-do them without CC, also I have a couple that used CC bunk beds, which I no longer need. Furthermore, I want to create two versions - one with Peacemaker's Screened In series, and one that will use Snowy Escape windows but I haven't decided which pack has the best doors to replace the screened ones. Island Living is the closest to what I have in mind but it's not exactly what I visualize there. Stay tuned. Screened-in Porch Series6/25/2020 As soon as Peacemaker released his Screened-in Porch Series, I knew my world was changing. There are two cabins in Granite Falls to which I recently added the screened door from Island Living but I am definitely about to update those and then add these windows. Maybe I'll re-do some of my Sulani builds too? I'm not sure. I like using the open-air windows that come with Sulani, it just seems like the kind of place that should never have glass/screens in the windows. You know... it would be interesting if rain got in the windows if they didn't have awnings. Like you're just sitting there minding your business, playing the game, your sims goes to make dinner but - what's this? There are puddles in the house because the window over the sink has now awning? Oh no! I think there are a few houses I have in mind where I can makes the screens work... though I am seriously excited to tackle all the cabins in Granite falls. Those are just SCREAMING for screen doors. They always reminded me of the cabins in this one mountain resort I frequent (location classified) and I can't think of a better way to replicate that than by using Peacemaker's Screens! Building Projects5/1/2020 I can't guarantee that I'll update this post or even commit to these projects, but, here are some things I have on my mind.
I'm not really a builder. Well, that's a lie. I'm not a builder that really shares her builds. But I want to try. Especially with Tiny Living. And just in general. Much like my writing, I always did it primarily for myself, but once I saw people downloading the house I initially made for my 100 Baby Challenge (I built it on PC because that was easier for me, uploaded to my gallery, jumped on my PS4 to download it for myself)... I decided to share more. I have some other random ideas but I'd especially like to tackle Britechester:

As you might have noticed, my name is Melissa, and I've been playing Sims since The Sims was even a thing. We won't discuss how old I was at the time I first played Sims 1, let's just say that I was not a child.
