Blueberry Hill and Mulberry Place

I think it is a well known fact that there are no good looking EA created homes. This is especially true when it comes to middle of the road houses. There really are very limited options for the middle class! It's either you get that hideous trailer house, or your living on that hill with all the mansions. So I decided to make two lovely, vintage styled of course, middle-class homes.

The first one is designed for a young couple, who will have children in the future (which is why I've left so much space for an add-on, and put a swing set out back) Anyhow, here's the picture. If I do say so myself, this place is quite charming.

I wouldn't mind living there myself...
Anywho, here's the living room, decorated in perfect forties/fities style decor.

The dining room!

The Foyer!

I have to say I love that wallpaper, wish I could have it for my own home...Anyhow, here's the kitchen, courtesy of the lovely Awesims.


There's also a bedroom, but it's hard to get a photo of because it's so... cozy.

Here's a couple backyard shots

Well, because my first home seemed very lonely, I made another similar one make it feel betteer. I call it Mullberry Place! Hope you like it, this one is more traditional fifties, but still definitely in style for the time.

Here's the living room.


Here's the dining area!

and the foyer...

From the Ashes-Capter one

David stood in almost pure darkness, his only light coming from a candle he had saved from the house. Through the warm yellow glow of the candle, he could see the silhouettes of he and his wifes discarded furniture, and the figure of his wife, sitting on an old matress, crying.

He still hadn't had the chance to feel anything about what had happened only two hours before, nor make sense of it, for he was busy pondering two big questions;
a)How had he survived?
b)Why did he survive.

The only sounds in the room were the low sobs of his wife, Alexandra, and that of static, coming from a transistor radio David had thought to bring with him when "it" happened.



The somewhate silence was broken by the weak voice of Alexandra. "What did we do to deserve this? What horrible thing did we do to bring this down on us, the whole town...so many people dead..what did any of us do to deserve it?"


"We, didn't do anything, Alex, it was the government of Shang Sim La who did this to us. They were the only ones who commited any wrong."



As he said that, the reality of their situation set in. The life they had come to know was gone, blown away by a cloud of nuclear smoke.


Thanks everybody for reading. Sorry it's so short, but this is purely to peek everybodies interest, introduce the characters, and to see if I'll continue the story. So please tell me what you think. Thanks!

Craftsman Lovliness

Hello, so I made another couple of houses recently. I chose to make the houses in a 1920's bungalow style. I've always had a thing for the twenties, a time of rising prosperity, and architecture and fashion-wise, great beauty. The bungalow was one of the most popular styles of home during the time, and millions, probably more, were made all over the United States.



So here is the first one, which I called Craftsman Comfort. It's swell for single sims or couples, with one bedroom, on bathroom, and a charming and very comfortable living area.





This is the front of the house, obviously, which I've colored in a cheerful blue yellow and white color scheme, which I find ver nice. It has a great front porch, which really invites you into the house I think.



Here's the living room, which I made in a very typical craftsman style, with high wainscotting in a dark, almost mahogany colored, wood. I chose all very comfortable, in the craftsman style Can't you just imagine sitting here reading a nice book by the fireplace?



Here's the dining room, and I know that it's a bad view, but I has some serious issues with preview shot. Anyhow it's very nice, and has a marketry inlayed floor (sims style)


Above you can see the lovely kitchen, with the perfect cabinets, the perfect appliances, and the perfect everything. I was particularly happy with this part of the house, it's just very nice.

Here's the last room photo, it's the one bedroom in the house, and I think that it is very good.


Now it's time for house number two! House number two is perfect for families, with three bedrooms, one bathrom, larger living areas, and a great vintage kichen.



Here's the front, with a beautiful front porch, and beautiful deep colors inspired by the autumn.



Here's the living room, which is very spacious, and has more than enough room for a growing family. It has a fantastic fireplace with original tilework, wood flooring, and quality furnishings and artwork.



And to the left and through a lovely craftsman arch, is a fabulous dinging room. You can't tell from the preview pic, I guess I have a thing about dining room pictures.



Here's a small bedroom that is off the dining room. It has a small office area in the room, and is very nice if you'd ask me, and I wouldn't mind sleeping there myself, although I prefer a queen size bed, but I digress...

Now let's take a short trip back through the dining room and the living room and to the kitchen. the kitchen doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. It's a place to cook in, very simple, and charming.





Here's the foyer of the second floor, with some very cheery wall paper.



And here's the last screenshot, which is of the master bedroom.



There's one more bedroom, but it's IMPOSSIBLE to take a phot of!!!!! The little camera can be so annoying!!

Life in the Fifties-Parts one, two, and three

To start off, I'd like to say, welcome to my new sims 3 blog! Here, I'll display and offer up for free download my sims 3 homes. I specialize in making vintage styled homes, and if I may say so myself, I do a pretty lovely job! So heres my first download.

This set of three will bring you back to a time of tube radios, cocktails, and classic cars. I made a three, beautiful, mid century modern styled homes, completely furnished with genuine mid century modern furniture, courtesy of the lovely sixtyten of Awesims.com. So here is the first home.

This home has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a great (all-be-it small) living-dining area, with the most stylish of carpets and furnishings, a newly done kitchen with only the best of appliances, and one of those new dishwashers everybodies been talking about so much.

And here's house number two! This home is the perfect home for a family, with four bedrooms, one bathroom, a big and beautiful living area, a great, bran-spanking new kitchen with a light filled dining nook. This home also features a beautifully landscaped lawn, a garage, and a brand new car!





















And nnow, last, but certainly not least, comes our final, lovley, and ultra-modern home. Made with all the design sensibilities of today, and made perfect for entertaing. This home is ideal for small families, or even a young couple, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a gourmet kitchen, and a beautiful two sided fireplace.
