Sometimes I feel like building but I never know what. So I watch a lot of Plumbella on YT and she created this build generator here.
So I tried. The style of house I received was Queen Anne Victorian. Color theme was blue, green and gray. It had to have two floors and only 2 rooms. It was to cost $91,030 and house 1 sim. It specified I wasn't to place the same object twice.
This is what I made.
This is from the front. The back wasn't very interesting.
The bottom porch had a little bar, sitting area and a chess table way at the far end. There was also an easle tucked away in the corner.
As I couldn't have more than two rooms each floor is one big room. I divided the bottom floor into areas. THis is the sitting room.
The dining area.
The kitchen.
And because of the limit of rooms the bathroom was tucked away behind the stairs and behind this room divider.
Upstairs is the bedroom. And yes there are a few modern conveniences like a big screen TV and laptop.
The upstairs porch holds another sitting area and a telescope and yoga ball.
This was fun to build. As far as following the rules I failed. The house cost more than the specified amount and I placed more than one of the same object in the house.

i keep imagining the statehouse as this huge house in the middle of nowhere. the entire property is in the middle of a grassland—yellow-green grass that reaches up to your knees kind of grassland. the plains. and there's a fenced off backyard behind the statehouse, but not more than a few hundred feet after it there's a forest—a temperate deciduous forest, like you find in the eastern U.S., with a creek a little ways in. venture deeper and you'll find a river. there's a mountain backdrop as well, and you know they're huge mountains, but they're so far away they appear a little small.
the house itself is... queen anne meets folk victorian-ish. shades of golden brown and white. there's a paved road leading up to it and a parking lot off to the side, about the size of a decently sized high school parking lot. and the road ends at the house. if you keep driving the other way, though, you eventually make it to town. a fairly urban city, with your standard fast food joints and stores and gas stations and whatnot. it's not the heart of a metropolis, not the suburban edges of it, but a decently populated urban city with a freeway or two running through it. somehow, somewhere, after a bit of an elevation drop maybe, absolutely rural plains gives way to the city. blink and you'll miss it, except no matter what you do, you'll always miss it.
the thing is, i keep imagining the statehouse and the land surrounding it as this little pocket in time and space, that exists on vaguely the same line as where central time meets eastern. the states are immortal, and that's practically magic, so why can't the statehouse be magic as well?

If I had decided to become an artist instead of a musician, I 100% would have jumped on the webcomic train during COVID and made a comic for Anne Bishop's Black Jewels Trilogy
