I was lucky with this house as I had a recent copy of it, although there were a few minor changes that I'd posted about that weren't included - easily remedied (
here) .
As you can see, I found a slightly darker stucco texture that looks pretty good. I decided to not have the front greenery to be exact mirrors, and put that one sassafras tree back at the corner. I also changed the height of the short walls and gates around the trash bins in back from 3-feet to 4-feet high.
Then I got to thinking, how could I fit another bedroom into the house...
here's what I came up with, in a separate file. The front is essentially the same (which is why there isn't an additional front picture below) but I added a bumped out section to the back wall which created a room large enough to put in a twin size bed with a small nightstand and a not-too-bulky dresser. In so doing, I moved the bar, stools and table set over to add additional walking space between the bar and the wall. Oh, and I removed one of the sets of hanging plants.
On the outside the addition looks a little too much like a last minute addition; does anybody have any suggestions to remedy that? I was thinking of maybe lengthening the garage, but this garage is pretty long as it is in my opinion... I was thinking maybe adding an storage room or something behind the garage? I don't know.
