Day 7! This time, a lot. Specifically, a lot in the style of the type of legacy houses that Azaya and I tend to use.

I built a very similar house for

azaya recently for the Thistleburrs and a few people expressed an interest in the layout, so I figured this might make a nice "shell" for folks to customize for their own legacy families.

I like trying to maximize space on small lots, so this is 1x2 but with 3 floors including the basement. The basement has functional windows, so there isn't such a depressing bomb shelter ambiance down there if you run out of bedroom space on the second floor, which tends to happen in legacies.

The house is meant to be very customizable, so the interior layout is really just a placeholder. I wouldn't recommend changing the exterior walls, but you should definitely adjust the interior ones to your liking!

To further maximize space, I used spiral stairs (Apartment Life required). I included a default replacement I did for the Endless Winding Staircase. The textures are based on

currantpotpie's default, but a little bit cleaner, in a couple muted woods and one white. I also removed the yellow-y overlay from the TXMT so textures show up as intended.

You can change all the windows, but there are a couple quirks to the process:

(Moveobjects on is required to completely remove the placeholder floor.)

(Ignore the red when leveling out the ground. I don't know why it shows as red but it works no problem.)

Anyway! I know this isn't the usual sort of thing from me but hopefully this will be of use to some folks! :)

hoose!

horse!

this house looks amazing! i love that it has a basement. i've been thinking of moving the bakelites to a much smaller lot, this might work beautifully. :D

yay, the bakelites!!! azaya and i were just saying we gotta do a reread since it's been a while! but it would be so cool to see the bakelites in this house (no pressure tho if u find something more suited to them!)

Yes! One can never have too many houses! <3

i'm glad you like it! i'll admit you were one of the folks i had in mind for this lol!

Well, I'll take that as a compliment. I'm not very good as making my own floorplans. XD

I don't even play legacies (I love reading other people's but I'm boring and play mostly adults) but this house is freaking ADORABLE and I need it for when I rebuild my hood. And I love the stairs replacement too, I have a great fondness for CC that's distressed/grungy but not absolutely filthy 😀

i'm always extremely impatient to get to the phase where my sims are adults, lol. i like seeing how their parents' features turn out on their faces (after distortion-removal ofc).

but yeah ty! i'm glad the stairs will be useful! i too prefer things a little distressed and old but not, like, a practical lesson in the spread of tetanus. i'm still annoyed that i couldn't find the right TXMT value to make the texture completely matte (there's still a slightly shiny overlay, and all the usual suspects have already been matte-ified so i'm at a loss)
