![]() ![]() So since 2013 I switched to Lake Crossing downloaded from , this map is split in 3 quarters by lakes and at this moment I have built only 1 quarter. The only somewhat appealing was Mountainside Village and used it for about 1 year until I ran out of space (some houses are multiplied to fill all the space, but I ran out of space in terms of space for certain lot sizes). So I downloaded some from, which again, most sucks. I need a neighborhood with many roads at 5 tiles apart. ![]() Others have roads too far away and sloped roads. NO housing lot has been rotated, because rotating them will rotate lighting direction too, and will look really messy.Īll Maxis-made neighborhoods of The Sims 2 sucks except Pleasant View. I compiled the following neighborhood using all the The Sims 2 houses built by me (plus few downloaded houses). I admit, I pay attention to architecture and functionality according Sims rules, rather than decorating realistically. Indeed I had many similar houses in 2012, but today I build a variety of house sizes, from Starter Home 1×1 (67 squares) to Palace Trianon Floresti 5×5 (672 squares), decorated in a variety of styles. So I kept building houses with 3-4 rooms but not all are used as bedrooms. If you have only 4 Sims, feel free to delete beds and reuse the room for other purposes (example Federal Fortress have 6 rooms!). Critics about unrealistic houses with too few rooms.So I try to make rooms rectangular, for realism and beautifulness. In 2012 after discovering live chat widgets for websites I got first major feedback about my houses: In December 2011 I made a poll, to decide the size of my future houses: How big is the family that you usually play? 75% voted for 3-4 sims, rest of votes being for 1-2, 5-6, 7-8 Sims. In 2009 I started my first website, featuring my portfolio of AutoCAD building designs and articles about housing in various countries, but it also had a page for The Sims 2 houses. In 2008 I started designing realistic buildings in AutoCAD and left the gaming world. I built several houses in The Sims 2 and played with families in it, the houses were not great in terms of architecture, most of my early houses had a single room for living, dining, kitchen and at upper floor had 2 bedrooms and 3 double beds (because I was playing a family of 6 sims), example L-Shaped House 2008.īut the really impressive were the neighborhoods with decorative apartment blocks, IslaSegundo (2006), Pleasantview (2007), StarlingSprings (2008). I started playing The Sims 2 in mid-2005 when my dad bought a more powerful video card, and it became my favorite game. In 2004 I connected to neighborhood LAN and later to internet and was able to download The Sims 2, but low-specs computer did not allowed me to play it properly. My journal in Sims began in 2003 when I received original The Sims game from a friend. I also design real life houses and apartment blocks (architectural design services) in AutoCAD. Beside playing the game as it was intended, I also practiced urban planning building large cities with apartment-like blocks. ![]() I also built several houses in The Sims 3. The Sims 2 is my favorite game, and I love architecture, I built over 50 houses which I offer for free download on this website. ![]()
