So, they moved out and instead, they bought another house. They'll stay there now, as I've decorated it and they seem happy there. It's a good house. But I really loved how the brownstones looked in my hood, all lined up in my new terrain. So I decided to have a go at my own.
The exterior is definitely inspired by the original lot but my layout is much simpler and much more spacious. This is a 3x1 lot, with four bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and even a little backyard in the back. Plus a roof top garden, which is what I loved so much about the original house.
First floor layout.
Second floor layout (which just happens to be identical to the third floor layout).
And a few exterior pics:
If I've packaged this up correctly, the exterior should look exactly the same as it does in the pictures (minus the pot plants and lights on the roof). The interior is all Maxis and contains everything a Sim would need to survive but the living room and bedrooms are very sparse. So you'll want to redecorate. ;)

Yay! Thank-you Carla! Downloaded and will be placed in game as soon as I get back in game
ReplyDeleteWoohoow, Brownstone for download! I wish I would find a place for it, I'm going to download anyway, it simply has to fit somewhere!
ReplyDeleteOoo, thanks! This looks lovely, I can't wait to try it out! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I always try and do the whole 'curved fence as railing' thing but it never turns out well for me.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, everyone!
ReplyDeleteTanja, your comment reminded me to add in the fact that the lot is 3x1. So it should be quite easy to fit it into most hoods, at least space-wise.
Flit, oh, I wrestled with that fencing for a long time but I think it was worth it! Someone linked me to a tutorial that finally made it make sense to me. It's here:

I think tutorials are free to download at TSR, although you do need to be logged in.
Thank you Carla! The moment you posted this on N99 I knew I wanted it :)
ReplyDeleteLovely replica. I had the orginal i think you are talking about: however never had problem with the stairs, though i did change all stairs and floorplan a bit. I had 8 of them - 4 each side of the street, so they look lovely.
ReplyDeleteI really like your version also :)
Thank you! This is perfect timing, when I'm in the middle of recreating/making over my Downtown! Expect to see someone in my blog living in it at some stage soon... :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carla!
ReplyDeleteI loved this house when I saw it at N99 and it will fit perfectly in my DT.
You're welcome, everyone! I don't normally build houses, so I'm glad this one turned out well.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I'm going to need to find a new template for my downtown with all the houses from Starr and now your brownstone. I know I'll put a few duplicates down to complete the look.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it! I've got some duplicates in Exeter, though I'm going to go in and change the wallpaper and a few other details, just so they don't look so samey. :)
ReplyDeletedo you have more buildings like this? or similar.
ReplyDeleteHi Mari, no, I don't. You can see the other lots I have up for download if you click my downloads tag (or go here
Delete, if you're on mobile - tags don't seem to show up for me on mobile) but I don't have anything similar to this. This is actually the only house I have up for download - my other lots are all community lots.
I'm not really a builder. I don't enjoy it much and I don't do it unless I feel like I really have to. I can usually find houses that suit my purposes for download but for community lots, I sometimes can't, so I tend to turn to building more often for community lots versus residential.
thank you for letting me know. i appreciate it. :)
