I have a very short lot tours for you today! I finished Caitlin and Mitchell's house a little while ago but it's taken me this long to get the tour up! They had quite a bit of money left over when I finished, so I was able to pay off a decent chunk of their mortgage as well.
So this house started its life as a house built by Starr, over at Apple Valley. You can see the original in its pixelated, neighbouring lot form to the left in this pic.
Quite a while ago, I saw this house on one of those house design shows. It's in Sydney, not far from the part of the city where I grew up and it used to be a small carpark until an architect converted it into a house. And for some reason, it always stuck in my head and one day, I decided I'd try to recreate it in the game, using Starr's house as a base. And this is the result. I took it as a very loose inspiration, so it's not an exact recreation! It sat in my hood empty for a couple of years until about a month ago.
