Rolf's apartment building again. Today I furnished Johan's apartment, completely built the ballroom, and started on the third floor (medium apartments).

Rolf's apartment building again. Today I furnished Johan's apartment, completely built the ballroom, and started on the third floor (medium apartments).
working on redoing Rolf's apartment building from scratch so that the building itself actually vaguely resembles something that would be in Munich in 1923/24 (i.e. not a skyscraper).
These are the floors that I have planned out so far; the first floor has a lobby and about 20 NPC apartments (furnished in case I ever want to make one non-NPC) with two public bathrooms.
The fourth floor (second screenshot) is Rolf's apartment, which, as you can see, is freaking huge. Master bedroom, dressing room, 2 guest rooms, study, intimate parlour, large hall, bathroom, large sitting room/music room, dining room, and a kitchen, with a stairwell that leads to the servants' apartments upstairs.
The fifth floor (third screenshot) is Johan's apartment and the servants' apartment. Servants' apartment is tiny with two bedrooms, a small private bathroom, a combined kitchen / dining / living area, and the stairwell down to Rolf's apartment.
Johan's apartment has two bedrooms (one with dressing room), a private bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room, a study, and a parlour. Which is, needless to say, much more than he's used to.
I still need to do the ballroom and another floor of NPC apartments (I think I need four? They'd be bigger) and furnish Johan's apartment and then I'll try my luck with the wallpaper (which almost always makes my game crash. yay.)
((Johan's new apartment and Rolf's servants' apartment. Johan's is the bigger one, naturally.
Johan's apartment has a kitchen, dining room, two bedrooms (a dressing room attached to the master bedroom), a full private bathroom, a study, and a living room/parlour.
Servants' quarters has a combined kitchen/living area, a stairwell down to Rolf's apartment (opens into a small room with a door which Rolf can lock), two bedrooms (intended to be one for male servants and one for female servants), and a private bath.))

"Look, all I'm saying is when you and your fiancée finally seal the deal -"
Rolf rolled his eyes, cutting Johan off. "You know that that's not going to happen for some time."
"You're engaged; it's bound to happen."
"She's a lady," Rolf reminded his friend. The very last thing that he wanted to do was compromise her.
"Funny, a lot of ladies I've met seem to have had children within a few months of their wedding."
"And that is precisely why Elisabeth and I aren't going to do that until we're married."
"Just hear me out..." Johan pleaded.
"You know, I really don't think that I want to, considering that you told me that you'd only kissed girls before my sister."
Johan rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, and I'm taking good care of her, aren't I? I've never done anything with her that she hasn't wanted." To tell the truth, he was a bit worried about something like that getting out.
"That doesn't change the fact that you've only really done anything with my sister. I really don't want to hear about that." The idea, frankly, disgusted him. He absolutely did not want to hear about his sister in that manner.
"It's not like I'm going to say 'Felicie likes it when I do this' or 'Felicie hates that'. Besides, most of it's stuff I've heard from listening to some of my other friends that I haven't even tried yet."
Rolf groaned. "Look, I don't want to hear it."
"So you want to be totally inexperienced when you finally get down to it? Or would you rather wait until your father tries to give you advice. I'm sure that that would be worse than your sister's fiancé."
Rolf had to acknowledge that Johan was right. "...Fine. But if you so much as mention my sister..."
"I won't."
and now we finish up Rolf's apartment building with the third apartment on the top floor: Rolf's uncle's apartment, which is soon to be Johan's. (it is Johan's in the game)
And, again, it's dark, and I apologise for that.
1. floor plan
2. apartment front door
3. hall detail. Every room save the kitchen stems off of the hall.
4. phone area with a view of the dining room.
5. dining room detail
6. kitchen. again: small, but I managed to get a picture of it.
7. the smaller bedroom detail. The wood is very dark, and in the lighting, it looks black.
8. bathroom detail. the bathroom is accessible from both bedrooms and the hall, and, as such, I couldn't get a good picture of it.
9. Master bedroom detail. Couldn't fit the whole thing, and that's Johan and Felicie in the bed.
10. Living room detail. Couldn't fit some of it, but it's unchanged from the floor plan, so.
...and that's it!
Maybe I'll take better pictures some other time, when it's not 5.30 am sims time.
And now we have the top floor, which encompasses the servants' quarters and Rolf's uncle's apartment (which will, one day, be Johan and Felicie's apartment)
1. floor plan. The division between the apartments, I hope, is obvious.
2. Servants' quarters: this includes two small bedrooms, a small private bathroom, and a common area, which is a kitchen, dining area, and living room all in one.
3. Apartment: part of the hallway, the dining room, the sitting room, and part of the second bedroom.
4. Apartment: the second bedroom and the kitchen. Note how the only entrance to the kitchen is through the dining room. This is because sims are stupid and the only way to ensure that the dining room is used for eating is to make it the only room near the kitchen.
5. Apartment: the master bedroom and the bathroom. Note how there is no dressing room, and instead wardrobes and dressers in the bedroom. In a choice between a dressing room or a spare bedroom, I chose the second bedroom.
Basic set of floor plans for Rolf's apartment building. Please note that in the actual RP-verse, it probably is not near water, and is most likely four or five stories, not twenty.
1. Ballroom / small apartment: the ground floor consists of a lobby, a large ballroom (with attached toilets) and a small apartment (which shouldn't have a private bath, but I couldn't modify it to have a shared bathroom). The ballroom has a small stage for a band to play, a large fountain, two bars, a small in-ground fountain, and a little dining area.
2. Rolf's apartment: There's a lobby (public access, though he's the only apartment on that floor), and you enter into a hall. Through the hall, there is access to the sitting room (with bookcase & piano, once I get the Jazz Age set, probably a radio), the bedroom (the little table is supposed to be a dry sink [image; though his would probably be just finished wood, not painted, and with a basin, soap, & mirror]), the dining room (bar is supposed to be a sideboard here), and another small hall/spare room. Through the bedroom, there's a dressing room which leads into a private bathroom. (The bathroom is also accessible through the spare room). Through the dining room, there's access to the small kitchen (small so that sims are made to eat in the dining room), and Rolf's small study (accessible only to him)
3. Top floor. Okay, first, the small, plain apartment with two bedrooms and a common room is the servants' quarters. They share a bathroom, though, for the moment at least, they have private bedrooms. The larger apartment is Rolf's uncle's apartment (that Johan is going to move into). It consists of a hall, a dining room (which gives the only access to the kitchen), a sitting room (with bookshelves), two bedrooms (no dressing rooms; instead: wardrobes and dressers), and a small, private bathroom.
shots of individual rooms / sections coming soon.
((SO I FINALLY FINISHED THIS AND I AM SO PROUD OF MYSELF
I MADE EVERYTHING BUT THE SHELL.
so anyway.
1. exterior. should be obvious.
2. more detail
3. ground floor. This includes the lobby as well as a set of studio apartments (in true early 20th century tradition, these smaller apartments have shared bathrooms, as you can see). The silver balls are just marking the areas as public and/or hidden (which means NPCs can live there)
4. ballroom. It's upstairs this time, and includes a bar, a small dining area, a small sitting area, a band stand, and two public restrooms.
5. Rolf's apartment. public hall which enters into the private hall (which is where the telephone is, as evidenced by the side table and small couch). From there, there is access to the dining room (which itself has sole access to the kitchen), the sitting room / parlour, and a small hall which itself allows entrance to the master suite and the study (the master bedroom leads into the dressing room, which leads into the bathroom). In the top corner, there's another hall (really hall/spare room) that also leads into the bathroom, in case there are guests.
6. Top floor, which includes two smaller apartments (one of which is the servants' quarters) and a large apartment (which is Rolf's uncle's apartment / will be Johan's). The small apartments are nearly identical, with a common area (kitchen/dining/living) which has access to two separate bedrooms and a private bath. The large apartment opens with a rather large hall (with a telephone and chair), and access to all rooms (save the kitchen, which is only accessible by the dining room). The rooms include: a dining room (& entrance to kitchen), two bedrooms (one larger, so that's the master bedroom), a bathroom (which also is accessible through either bedroom), and a living room / study.
...and instead of moving everyone in, I am going to quit sims because this has taken over three hours so))
