This is the part of the world renovation journey where you all get to see how truly fickle and indecisive I can be.
As I continued the process of turning My Sim Realty’s world Meadow Glen V4 to Harveston County, I decided that every residential house in the rural area that I initially did not like but then later decided to edit, would in fact be deleted and replaced after all.
So let’s start with the 60x60 lot that I just repositioned a few weeks ago to make room for the Living Farm. This lot was originally located at 505 Clover Road, before I moved it to the empty lot, 622 Clover Road, beside it. Well, while doing this worked wonders for the Living Farm placement, it made me realize why I initially didn’t want the home in the first place.
It’s just not small town farmy (another nonword) enough. Maybe it says “my family owns a vineyard.” Which cool, whatever, someone has to grow the grapes and make the wine. But it doesn’t fit my vision.
So I bulldozed the lot, saving the house in the library bin. I mean, I figured I could end up regretting my whole life if something else didn’t catch my eye.
But low and behold, something did!
While looking for smaller farmhouses for two empty lots in the area I happened upon @kenziisims speed build for Wildberry Farm. A project they were kind enough to share via mediafire. I downloaded the lot, placed it into my game, and then into the empty lot at 622 Clover Road the next time I played.
To fit it into the world I’m building, I removed the fountains and the pools the fountains were in, covering the space with the surrounding bushes. I removed the horse stalls, troughs, and the race course as I don’t want stables on this particular lot. I removed the treehouse in the back yard and replaced it with a chestnut tree that is either CC or from a store world. The treehouse doesn’t mess with my overall vision, I just didn’t want it there.
Two sides of the garage were actually without paint, so I corrected that issue. Finally, so the lot matched the area, I used the terrain paint tool to blend it with it’s surroundings.
I should note that I plan to pretty much repaint every house in this area of the world, so that the colors are more muted at the start of the game. It just takes me a long time to settle on colors so I’m saving that task for later.
