Cozy living spaces layered with equestrian art, tartan, and moody textures

Jewel-toned bedrooms + refined baths for timeless autumn storytelling

Hi guys! 

I leave you Quinta la Lucila. It was the country house for Urquiza family in Buenos Aires. 

The house was demolished, so I worked with old pics for the piano nobile. The rest of it (ground floor, 2nd floor and 3rd floor is just my imagination). 

Despite putting some furniture, I really enjoy building and detailing the exterior so you can enjoy decorating the interior. 

It was built in a 50x50 lot, but i think it would fit a 40x30 if you are willing to lose the garden.

I leave you the page I used to build it. Feel free to follow him. He’s always posting the history of grand houses and places of interest that were built in Argentina.

Currently I’m working in Videla Dorna Palace,  Uriburu palace, Sans Souci Palace (Alvear Family), Ortiz Basualdo Palace (French embassy in Argentina), and Pereda Palace (brasil’s embassy). 

I’ve also been working in this french palace wich was comissioned by Matias Errazuriz and Josefina de Alvear to Rene Sergent, the famous french architech that proyected some of the most famous residences in Argenitna. 

This palace whas thought to be the house of a family of four, and proyected for the art collection the family accumulated during their stay in Europe.

It’s now a museum dedicated to the Decorative Arts. 

Hope you enjoy it! Please comment.

PD: work in progress - more info about the palace_ https://museoartedecorativo.cultura.gob.ar/

Welcome to PeriodBuilt.

This blog is dedicated to historically and period-accurate builds for The Sims 4. I focus on architecture first: exteriors, proportions, and layouts common for that time — with interiors that reflect how people actually lived.

I make builds inspired by real eras, from modest cottages to larger townhouses and manors. I will always include my reference images, and my Custom Content list. 

I’m building by chapter of The Field Guide to American Houses. This book covers America’s domestic architecture from Native American homes to Modern McMansions (ugh). The Sims is NOT built for creating Native American homes, so those will be skipped. With detailed guides on the anatomy, form, structure, and style of American homes I will be building through periods, starting in the 1600s. 

I will place each house in a world according to its style. Think Willow Creek and French Colonial, Brindleton Bay and New England Pre-Railroad, Strangerville and Manufactured Homes. 

Join me as I navigate historic architecture, period accurate technology and geographical-equivalent living conditions. 

Dark corridors. Cold steel. A city that never sleeps.

Tucked inside the busy streets of downtown Manhattan, Precinct 9 opens its doors tomorrow. This gritty police station build captures the atmosphere of late-night stakeouts, endless paperwork, and the quiet hum of fluorescent lights over a city that refuses to rest.

Built for storytellers, machinima makers, and Sims who need a backdrop that’s as tough as the cases they’re chasing.

Stay tuned for the full photo tour + download dropping tomorrow.
