building background

This build was a commission, so I wasn't completely free to build whatever I wanted, but it almost felt like I was. The person who commissioned me wanted a celebrity mansion in a midcentury modern architectural style. It was supposed to be a funky colourful build with warm colours and a proper celebrity vibe. The 2 photos underneath were part of their moodboard, and I really like the combination of wood and stone on the exterior wall and a sort of overhang between the floors. So in this building, I added orange tiles on the exterior walls and overhang-flooring, because there are MCM houses that use colorful tiling details on the facade, and I liked that idea, and it really worked out quite well, I think. The inspiration for the basement pool area actually came naturally to me. There wasn't any particular building that inspired me. I was trying things out and spent a lot of time on the floor plan. Initially, I didn't want to create such a large basement, but as it turned out, I wanted to add a lot of rooms, and the floor plan also had to make sense, so that's why I ended up with such a large build. I could probably write a lot more on the process of building this lot, but I still plan to do a little video tour at some point (?), so I might revisit this build then and give you all the details, if you like!

So what do you get?

Hidden Palms is a 50x40 residential lot best placed in Del Sol Valley on the "The Ward Den" lot in the Pinnacles neighbourhood. There are 2 versions of this lot, that you can choose from:

An almost fully furnished version; Every room except for 2 rooms on the 2nd floor is furnished. On the basement level, you'll get a music studio, a private living room, a bedroom, a bar, a spa area, a fitness room, a laundry room, plus the outside pool with stairs into the garden area on the ground floor. On the ground floor, you'll find a guest bedroom, a kitchen with a dining area, a large living room, and an outdoor barbecue area, plus a lush garden. On the 2nd floor, there's a master bedroom, an office, and 2 empty rooms. Bathrooms are scattered all over the house, so your sims won't have trouble finding them!

The shell version is pretty self-explanatory. It's a shell with the flooring and wallpapers of the furnished version, but that's about it. This version is perfect for people who'd like to furnish the house themselves or for everyone who doesn't want to download too much cc.

Uses items from the following packs: looks best with almost all packs. But a tip: take a look at the build in the gallery and click on the packs to see the items I used from that pack, it might also look good with fewer packs.
