The Disney's MOVED HOUSES!

I planned on the Disney family to live in the same house, and eventually one of the kids will take it over and so on.  But I'm in this Facebook group called The Sims Addicts Anonymous and they just launched a new build challenge. I normally only watch and see what everyone else builds because this girl sucks at building roofs which just ruins my building for me. But I did it! I had to, the house just screamed old-time Disney to me. Since in my head, I think that Mickey and Minnie would live very old fashion I tried my skills at building this house. Here's the house:


I mean does that not look like a Mickey and Minnie house?!?! Granted I know in the cartoons Mickey lives in a house that is very Mickey-shaped. I just look at this and see old-timey like how I picture the Disney house. Then the house they were living in was a starter home in Brindleton Bay that we just kept remodeling it to match the family's needs, I'll upload the final house to the gallery. Now the new house is in Willow Creek which I think is even more fitting since it is the original Sims 4 world. I just didn't have a house in Willow Creek that I wanted for Mickey, but I love how their house is set up now. Most of the rooms in the house I did myself, but I used some of the premade Sim rooms for the colors, such as the bathroom. All of the bedrooms I threw down the basics and I like letting them evolve with their personalities over time. So let's start the new, permanent, Disney house tour!



The outside looked a lot better in the spring or build mode because of the flowers. This is the first time I actually didn't hate a roof on a build and this is the first time that I really tried to somewhat do the landscaping. It looked really good and I didn't realize that the season changed to fall by the time the Disney family moved in. Like I mentioned earlier I really didn't mean for them to ever move houses, just the kids move out but this house looks like it would be a Mickey Mouse house because of the old fashion feel.

So let's start the inside of the house from the bottom up. There is actually a basement and in there we have Maleficent's teen bedroom that I plan on moving her into as soon as she ages up into a teen. There's a little spoiler here since I have her spellcasting stuff. She has her own bathroom. Then beside her room is Dina's gym and the family's photography stuff is in the hallway. There is another bathroom and the laundry is underneath the stairs. There is still a lot of space that we can do something with, I'm just not sure what yet.

The main floor I had a lot of issues with because I knew I wanted an open floor plan but this floor is so huge that nothing seemed quite right. I'm still not in love with how it looks right now but it really functional. I kind of want to add some half walls to help break the living from the rest of the space, at least behind the couches maybe. Then both Dina and Mickey's offices are on this floor too. Dina's office is a little more walled off and elaborate than Mickey's office is. But Dina has more stuff that she needs since she is both a freelance artist and produces videos all the time. Mickey tends to be more of a minimalist but he also paints a lot, plus Mickey has stellar views from his deal that Dina doesn't. Anyways here it is.

As you can see the staircase both going upstairs and down to the basement are right beside one another. This is one of those times that we could do spiral stairs since in my head I think they would take up less room, however, I tried to make it work this way and I really love it. Up on the second floor, there is nothing but bathrooms and bedrooms. I'll label which room is whose in the picture's captions below, and I'll have them in order as to what comes first as down the hallway. I don't really love the hallway that much because it feels too narrow, but it's fine for what it is.

The things that I don't have pictured is the side yard and the backyard. Both of these are completed however I didn't do them. I got them all off the gallery. All together I got a pool, a children's play area, a cookout area, and a hot tub idea off of the gallery. I suck at building these things and I needed them for the storylines I had planned out. Overall I think I could do more to pull them all together to make it more cohesive but for now, it's fine. Another thing that I don't have pictured is what the house really looks like today. My game is a little ahead of all of this and looking back at these pictures I see that they aren't very cluttered. I like to add some clutter into the houses but most of it comes from the Sims that live in the house. I like taking pictures, adding their collectibles, the school projects, and so on to help fill the house. You can see in the staircase picture that there are pictures hanging and they came from Mickey and Dina. I just think it helps characterizes the house more. This house we don't have as many pictures hanging up yet because we have a digital frame right now so I could make sure they all came to the new house. But we are working on getting more pictures made. We just had a whole lot of fun things going on and been super busy which you will see very soon. I'm working on getting more stories up and less playing.
