The Caboose used to be a water tower and its control room, but after Port Promise was connected to the main water network, the old tower was forgotten. Decades later, it was turned into an exclusive place to live.
Villa Pâquerette is a floral mansion, where your wealthy sims can enjoy their lives to the fullest. As soon as you step out of the entrance you enter a large courtyard with a refreshing fountain in the middle. On the left side of the courtyard are a large dining room and living room. Adjacent to the living room is a small guest bathroom. On the right side of the courtyard is a split-level office and a kitchen. Next to the kitchen is a small sunroom. No matter what season or time, your Sims will always be able to eat with a view! On the other side of the pool is a small bar area to serve drinks during parties.
The first floor offers a great view of the grandeur of the garden on the ground floor. On the left side is the master bedroom, en suite bathroom and walk in closet. As I said, it’s a house for wealthy Sims. On the right side of the mezzanine is the top floor of the split-level office, a bathroom and a bedroom for the staff. The butler and the maid couldn’t agree on what colors the walls should be, so they decided to use both pink and blue. Unfortunately for the butler, that doesn’t make the snoring of the maid any less.
After seeing a video by @chrillsims4 about Princess Cordelia, I started reading the descriptions on Princess Cordelia items in detail. Now, most of them are neatly organized when you filter by Queen Anne style. This style was - surprise, surprise - popular around Queen Anne‘s reign (1702-1714) and is also known as (English) Baroque. It features towers with bay windows and the windows tend to be narrow and cinnamon colored with a white trim (read more). Interior wise, paneled wainscot, large crown moldings and parquet floors were very fashionable (read more).
After I put all of Princess Cordelia’s items together in a room, it didn’t take long before that room turned into a formal living room and bar. After finishing that room, I got the hang of it: the dining room, red bedroom and the blue bedroom took shape rather quickly. The roof, on the other hand, took me several attempts, because of it’s odd shape.
The ground floor is all entertainment space. Left from the front door is a tiny powder room in case your chariot ride takes longer than anticipated. On the right side of the front door is a deep closet, for all of the fancy coats. Opposite the front door is the formal living room and bar. This spacious, blue room is the perfect room for hosting large parties, with its built in bar, grand piano and homage to the Jazz musicians. Behind the bar is a table, may you get sore feet from all the dancing.
In case you manage to close a business deal of some sort, the office is next to the formal living room. It’s not too large, but to sign papers you only need a pen, paper and a desk. Connected to the office is the art room, since Princess Cordelia loves to paint. In fact, she’s made all of the artworks around the house! For landscape paintings Princess Cordelia had a covered patio built. How clever and convenient!
The second door in the entrance leads to a smaller, more informal living room. I mean, having just one living room is for commoners, right? The informal living room leads to the dining room, which is large enough for 8 Sims and a life size statue of Princess Cordelia’s beloved butler, Bob. The kitchen is right next to the dining room and has plenty of counter space to prepare all of the fancy dishes.
The L-shaped staircase takes you to the first floor. The first door will lead you to the master bedroom, complete with a seating area, walk in closet and an en suite bathroom. Fully usable, just check for peas under the bed and pirates in the bed every now and then.
The second door leads to the blue guest bedroom. In between the desk and the drawer is the chimney for some extra warmth. A small bathroom is adjacent to the blue bedroom.
The biggest guest suite is at the end of the hallway. The black and red color scheme are perfect for your romantically involved Sims to stay over. Or, on second thought, maybe not so much. That might be a little... awkward.
Opposite the second guest room is a music room. We all know Princess Cordelia loves music, especially jazz. In between the red bedroom and the music room is another bathroom.
Last but not least, in the basement is a small gym area and bathroom. No, Princess Cordelia doesn’t work out, but wonderful Butler Bob and Princess Cordelia’s boyfriends do...
