Can you create me a sunny yellow home for Not So Berry yellow generation. I’ve been so burnt out on building homes lately. I love your buildings!! ✨❤️

I'd love to! DM me some suggested requirements... lot size, rooms you want, styles, packs, cc :)

[andibuilds-simblr]

First build request complete!

A palace shell for @royalsofwindshire!

If you have a request, send it my way! I'll do my best to accommodate what you need :)

All Aboard! Coming soon...

Yes, my hotel just dropped, but I couldn't wait to share my next release. Despite our lack of Egyptian-type world with convenient Nile River lots, you'll soon be able to sail with Poirot... vintage steamboat dreamboat!

Grand Hôtel Tartosa · 50 x 40 · CC [Linked] · Bar/Hotel

Boasting four beautiful suites, le Grand Hôtel Tartosa is where all who want true luxury gather to enjoy the seaside. The hotel's amenities include a seaside pool terrace, al fresco bar and restaurant, lobby bar, spa, and gym.

The tray file is set up as a bar, but with mods or the new Business and Hobbies pack, you can set this up as a true boutique hotel experience. My own recolors of the Felixandre Chateau Metal Railings are linked below for download. You will need the original files!

Heavily inspired by the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France.

Can we get Create-a-World yet?

God, I'm absolutely obsessed with the idea of creating a vintage steamship a la SS Sudan, living out my Death on the Nile fantasies, but it's so jarring to work on a build that doesn't jive with the world it's in.

We need customization! Flexibility for historical gameplay! The option for a mix of water and land lots! TS4 is a beautiful game but so limited in that aspect.

Community Lot Poll

With the upcoming release of my Riviera hotel build (super fun!) it got me thinking of other community lot styles. I've been watching a few docs / films feature luxury hotels and am pretty inspired. These lots could function as spas, bars, restaurants, apartments, or hotels depending on what packs you have and how creative you get.

Quick check in!

Riviera hotel will be out soon, I expect this week. I haven't been idle - I think this latest iteration is the best one. Unfortunately due to the size of the lot I had to scrap the tennis court, but this hotel will have a bar, an al fresco restaurant, a spa, gym, and pool area!

Little update...

Hello, yes, it's me, I'm here... I've been travelling and recovering from an illness, so not much time to build lately.

Promise I'm still working on the Riviera Hotel - I'm on version 5 now due to the save file issues and, after having started over before, I found the rear of the hotel just wonky and unusable. Still trying to make the exterior look and interior floorplan mesh, so just taking my time to make it as good as it can be. In the meantime taking short breaks here and there to decompress and experiment with some other builds. Right now toying with an art deco apartment complex, an art nouveau villa, and my yacht club.

I’m tempted to update my game so I can play with your builds 😭 - someone who hasn’t updated since June 2024

Updating is always such a headache! I totally understand... It takes me a day or two to fix everything after an update, and that's not counting the time for amazing mods to be updated by creators 😭 If you have a specific build you'd like with only certain packs to use, let me know!

Build series idea

Toying with starting a build series inspired by famous literary houses. Think Green Gables, Lallybroch, the Buendia Hacienda... I'm always inspired when reading about a home that is a character in itself! The list is quite long... If you want to see a specific literary home or setting brought to Sims life, send me a DM or reblog with ideas!

Hello Andi!! I just stumbled into your blog and I'm amazed by your builds, amazing work!! I was wondering where I can find the paintings you used in this post, I'm dying to use them since I saw them https://www.tumblr.com/andibuilds-simblr/775212010754441216/wip-getting-close?source=share

Hello to you! Thank you so much for the compliment!

Happy to answer... (1) Elegance Set by @strangestorytellersims (2) Various 18th Century Paintings by RegalSims and recolors by @lilis-palace (3) Kneller Paintings by @sforzcc (also lots of great others in this set!)

Full CC list is available for the Scottish Lodge build here

WIP: Riviera Hotel

The saga of patch day continues...

I have always disabled sims delivery/automatic updates, but somehow this patch snuck into my game unannounced T_T

This of course resulted in numerous issues - my previous save wouldn't load correctly, which forced me to eventually restart my hotel build (restarting is usually for the best TBH).

The latest patch also broke TOOL, which for a builder is quite an essential mod, so I won't really be able to finish any builds until TwistedMexi releases the update (forever grateful and not at all rushing anyone who chooses to dedicate time and effort to make our gameplay better!) You never know how much you appreciate being able to freely move/resize objects and edit lighting in build mode until the functions are gone!

Until then I'm working on refining layout and choosing decor. This hotel's aesthetic is very inspired by Hotel Cap Eden Roc - I will recommend downloading @lijoue's Boutique Hotel mod to make the best of it when ready! Shoot me a message or reblog if you'd like to request any future builds!

[andibuilds-simblr]

Looks like I have a solid list for my next few builds - hotel is currently in the works! May work on a residential before then taking a stab at a completed opera house (I have done this build type many times but never shared!)

Bramblewood Hall: A Scots Baronial Estate

Bramblewood Hall is a grand Scots Baronial estate located in Henford-on-Bagley. Finished with beautiful wainscoting and Highland-inspired touches, the property includes eight spacious bedrooms, seven and a half baths, a library, conservatory, courtyard, lovingly cultivated gardens, game larder, and separate staff cottage.

Wow, did it take me a while to do this one... but I absolutely love it. I could probably renovate this one for a long time... in the folder below, you'll find links to the tray files (both furnished and unfurnished), my CC used is included as well. Be sure to open the Readme file for CC and packs required!
