Petalbot's Builds

Villa Thalassa

Happy Summer! I just shared a new lot to the exchange. It’s a Greek inspired build, with the exterior based on a real life structure (The Sky Villa in Anguilla). I was researching the elements of Greek architecture, when I came across it and I just had to build it! The floorplan and interiors are completely of my own design and it was a rough go with interior design. White is hard to work with as a dominant color in The Sims (the shadows and blooming are difficult to control, but I tried my darndest hardest to do it (texture, invisible lights and intensity adjustment are my friends, LOL). I found the Greek style to be a challenge as well. I tried my hardest to embody it (lots of white, simple, clean, crisp, homey, artful, minimalist without being as minimalist as Japanese minimalism). The home is playtested and contains NO CC or CAP. Now on with the tour.
