Cartoon to Sims House Challenge

[Cheeseweasel]

This is kind of a shell challenge, but a visual of the shell is provided in a cartoon drawing. I thought it was really cute and am going to try to recreate in in Sims. Come build with me.

[Nindigo]

I will

 Great! At first glance, I thought the bottom of the building was a garage, but the door doesn't look right for that, so I'm going to make that part of the living area. I don't see any windows at the bottom, so I'm going to assume they are around back. Do you have any idea what the cylindrical barrel looking thing on the upper level is supposed to be? I'm stumped. I think the person living here will have a cat, but I don't think it will be sleeping on the roof.

That doesn't look like a garage to me either. The barrel looks like maybe a water collector? The saucer type thing could be a satellite/tv antenna.

It looks like there is a tree ? on the 2nd floor? I am not entirely sure we can do that in Sims 3??

Don't forget to share build progress photos!! lol

[Nindigo]

Here is my take on it. Do you need more pictures of the inside?

[MrsFlynn]

Oooh yes more photos please!!

Another question came to mind, seeing Nindigo's build.  Are all the rooms connected by a staircase/ladder so Sims can use them or is this house a just for looks?  Or is that left up to us? I don't usually build for looks, I build for use/play.

[Nindigo]

Alright. I put in some basic furniture. The pictures should be showing how I managed rooms and access to the different levels.

[MrsFlynn]

You did such a wonderful job Nindigo!! I love the house!!  Thank you for sharing more photos!!

[Nindigo]

Thank you, MrsFlynn. Think I'm going to participate in more building challenges. The practice won't hurt. Well, it probably actually will (lol), but you know what I mean

[MrsFlynn]

Sounds good!! I get what you mean.

Here's what I have for the build so far:





I'm building it with the thought of use/play and also the game wouldn't allow adding the door and stairs to 1 square. I usually have to put 2 squares if a door is going to be close to a staircase.

I love the color green I chose and the lighter wood color, but am thinking of switching it around. Still not sure yet. As you can tell it's only the outside I've done. lol  I figured I'd get the outside done first and then see what I can do with the inside.
