Lot tour: The Kirby farm

A little while ago, Fini mentioned that she'd like to see lot tours of some of the houses in Sullivan. I don't often do lot tours of my residential lots, but it sounded like a good idea to me. Seeing I was in the Kirby house this afternoon getting it ready for the Christmas update, I took some pics for a tour.

The Kirby house is actually a makeover of the Maxis farmhouse that comes with the base game.

It went through another makeover right before Claudia and Jacob got married. The kitchen used to be an office and the area where the TV is now is the old kitchen. I rearranged things, because Sims were forever using the back door even when the place I wanted them to go would be more quickly reached via the front door. Annoying.

I didn't really change anything upstairs though, except furnishings.

Here is the entry. The stairs are opposite the cat-scratching post. No picture of them but they match the wood of the end table.

The lounge/TV area, featuring Daphne playing a video game. She's her mother's daughter. ;)

LOL, I have no idea why the TV is off. I guess Daphne must have stopped playing the second I snapped that last pic!

Hmmm, need another photo on the left there. I like having the computer out in the open better than when I had it in the office. It just works better for this house.

The dining room (which is not really its own room - it's in the same room as the living area), where I keep most of the family photos.

The downstairs bathroom. They're all pretty boring, so this is the only one I'll show you. There are two larger ones upstairs.

The kitchen, which is Megan's domain.

Claudia and Jacob's bedroom (with a sleeping Jacob).

The dog also sleeps in here, because I think Claudia would insist on it.

I like their dressing area a lot. I often rush through my decorating and don't bother with clutter but it makes a difference when I stop being lazy and pull out the OMSPs.

Trent and Megan's bedroom is so tiny. I don't even think I have a dresser in there, it's so small!

This used to be Daphne's nursery and now that she's too old for it, it belongs to Iris.

In game, I don't think Iris has actually slept in here yet though! Like Trent and Megan's bedroom, it's very small; I can't believe Claudia and Victoria used to share this room!

I only just fixed up Daphne's bedroom today. This was Rebecca's room when she lived at home.

When I entered the lot, I saw that I'd just tossed a bed in there. I hadn't even picked out proper wallpaper!

It looks a lot better now!

Hope you enjoyed the tour! I don't know which house I'll do next or how often I'll do these but I'm willing to consider any requests. So if there is a house you'd like to see more of, please let me know in the comments. :)
