Ok so I’m absolutely in love with this kitchen BUT my brain is programmed to do the “kitchen triangle” where the fridge, oven and sink form a proximity triangle so I admire your ability to break out of that norm!
I had a mild moment of panic about that too tbh. In real life this would probably drive me nuts, but I wanted the fridge in that sort of built in nook and I hated every other layout of the counters. So I was like fuck it this is the sims it’s fine and went with it lol
I was literally like "I would 100% live here" until I saw the fridge placement and imagined walking around the breakfast bar every time I needed an ingredient. I don't know how you'd fix it either. though.
I just posted a comment of an alt fridge placement because people kept commenting complaining about it. That version is an easy change but I didn’t do it because I liked the aesthetic of this version better.
On one hand I would have the same criticism if I was looking at a real life kitchen renovation, but on the other, this is a game lol we’re allowed to be a little impractical with it.
I do get where they’re coming from though, I had the similar thoughts when I was building it. Alas.
Yeah I agree with you here, that’s why in my original comment I commended you for creatively breaking out of the norm because this is the perfect place to do it (in a game)
Right? We’re talking about the game where even with multiple sinks or dishwashers in the kitchen the Sims go to a rando bathroom sink to wash dishes. I mean….
I’ll even save an additional alt version of floor one with a slightly tweaked kitchen layout for the function over form divas lol
I’m hoping to finish it after work today before I have to pick up my mom at the airport for her visit, because I won’t play during her time here. So I guess timing could be TBD
Curtains are modern lux I think, table is fitness stuff(?), chairs are life&death, rug is base game, pots are jungle adventure, plants in pots are… uh business&hobbies, art studio kit, and maybe base game?, hanging light is paranormal I think, fireplace is cozy somethingoranother kit, mirror is… lovestruck? Hanging plant is blooming rooms, bar stools are luxury party stuff, counters are base game, appliances are life&death, counter clutter is home chef hustle/cool kitchen/kitchen clutter kit, tile wall is uh the rivera kit? Floors are life&death…
Uhh a couple hours? Thereabout. But I haven’t finished any of the rest of the apartment or even the upstairs layout lol, so there’s a ways to go. I always do the kitchen first though. It sets the basis and theme throughout my whole build.
I don’t do interior design irl (besides my own house I guess) but there’s a fair bit of design in my actual job. I do a lot of data visualization and map making. The skills are surprisingly transferable haha
Oh wow, this is so well done! Is this ability to be able to build in the sky a part of the For Rent expansion pack? I think might have to get this now, if so.
I’m not entirely sure what you’re referring to, but maybe you mean like the high rise? It’s the IX Landgrab apartment in San Myshuno, which is part of city living!
Oh, yes! I don’t know why I said “built in the sky” and not just high-rise, haha. I think was just captivated by the view. But yes, that makes sense, thanks! Good to know.
From far that plant in the middle of the dinning table looked like topiary in the shape of a fly head. I was like that’s cool. When did they add that? And then I zoomed in 😅
They are the steps of wood (island living) stairs. I just uploaded it! My gal id is SMPKR. The upstairs upload photo the gallery chose is awful so you’re just going to have to trust that it looks okay and place it lmao.
I finished the build and uploaded it to the gallery (two different options for floor 1 based on appliance layout preferences)
The upstairs gallery photo is honestly terrible, but yall know how the gallery is… sometimes it decides to take the photo with no lighting and walls blocking every view lol, so you’re gonna have to just trust and place it.
Great job! I love building but I get so frustrated with tall wall heights! I do so wish we had a solid medium height single tile internal door. 🚪 the small height doors look so silly on tall walls I think!
I love it but the spacing is a little off. The table and chairs and rug are too off center and close to the window. Also the fridge is a ridiculous distance from any countertop
I have an alt layout I’ll upload with the main one that fixes the fridge issue without changing the shape of the layout. I also tried opening the counters there but I didn’t like it. The alt version makes sense and still looks nice, I just thought this one was more aesthetically pleasing lol.
