Kahytten

Kahytten is danish for The Cabin, which is what this cosy tropical den is called.
It´s built for an old sailor, Kurt Sønderstrøm, who would like to spend some lovely years of retirement along with his beloved friends, the dog, Tvebak and the parrot, Skipper,made by Mona Solstråle from the danish sims site: Sims 3 Byggeforum. Actually it´s my entry for the October challenge on the same site: "Build for a sim", and I wanted it to be warm and homey, full of nice memories from Kurt´s long life on the seven seas

 

Kurt doesn´t even bother getting dressed before he

hurries down to feed Skipper

Not exactly to enjoy the sunrise, huh

Kurt has brought lot´s of funny things home from all the destinations

he has visited through the years

If you´d like to see more pics go here

 

The house is built in Tiki style on a 20x20 lot and fully decorated

 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen with diningfacilities and 1 family room, as well as room for a dog and a bird. 1 marimekkopattern of mine used in the wallpaper, otherwise cc-free, but plenty of storeitems.

price: around 60.000 $

Kandesøhus, a luxury commune

My latest contribution to Simslille is a commune called Kandesøhus. It´s the home of 5 talented young sims who found out that living together were much more fun than living alone.
They are all quited privileged, though, which you can tell by looking at the house. I´m sure that many youngsters IRL would give half an arm to live in a place like that. I suppose they come from rich families?
Here´s the house built in solid, rough materials like concrete, steel and redwood.

And from the other side in the night time:

And here are the five young people who live in it i my game:

Siw Brunse, who´s a soldier, but thinks about horses most of the time and hopes to become a jockey one day.

Sverre Visholm is a musician and rarely leaves the home without a guitar. He wants to play every instument there is on this earth, but so far he has spent his time perfectioning his guitar skills.

Uffe Krantz is a soft, friendly guy. Quite a nerd, actually. He´s good at computers, gardening and chess and works as a scientist. Uffe used to be Ea´s boyfriend, but she was far too tough for him and finally dumped him. And the poor boy was devastated for days. It seems that he´s back on track again, though. Maybe with a little help from his friend Siw who swopped rooms with Ea so he now has someone to talk to before he goes to sleep.

And Ea Ahlmann moved upstairs and made an atelier in her room in which she´s always busy painting her next fabulous picture. She´s so full of herself, really, so she´s quite satisfied, as it it.

Finally we have Elena Poulsen. She´s a police officer and very skilled at it. Her boss likes her, so maybe one day she can fulfill her dream and get a job at forensics. She´s not the most outgoing person, but maybe she has a rich inner life, her colourful taste indicates that. And even though she´s with the policeforce she´s quite a skilled hacker.

Hyldesøhus, Kystvejen 19

On the small Island, Simslille, built by MeresimP, I have placed this tiny and cosy cottage. It is the home of an elderly couple, Else and Poul-Erik Larsen, and their dear old dog, Tilly.
The house only has 1 bedroom, 1 living/diningroom, 1 kitchen and 1 bathroom. But also a well assorted vegetable garden.

The lot size is 15x15.
Why don´t you have a look around:

And take a closer look at the living/diningroom:

You can even see the kitchen from here:

And the bedroom which is tiny:

And by the way here are the Larsens:

At this picture they are joined by their son, Morten and his wife, Tina, their two grandchildren, Emilie and Jonas, their daughter, Merete and the old, but dear dog, Tilly.

The house may have Store-items included but no CC.

Now you´ll get 3 choices:

Get Hyldesøhus without inhabitants here

Get Hyldesøhus with Else and Poul-Erik Larsen and their dog, Tilly here

Or get 3 generations of the Larsen-family but no house  here

Hello everybody, how about a cup of coffee...

I have made this romantic coffee shop for you in 3 versions. It´s called Sophies Minde after the british painter, Sophie Anderson (1823-1903) and is the danish name for something like: In the memory of Sophie.
Especially earlier it was quite normal to name places after beloved or famous persons even though the places were not exactly monuments but more like residentials or public places like parks or small manor houses.
My community lot here is actually an entry to the May Challenge on the danish site Sims 3 Byggeforum that I have mentioned quite a number of times. By clicking the link you´ll be brougth to the site and the painting by Sophie Anderson that should inspire to an entry of any kind, and mine was this coffee shop.

I´ll show all 3 versions to you and the first one is the original with quite some CC, especially flowers:

Gyvelsøhus

Inspired by the television series Downton Abbey I have built this patrician home.
It´s for wealthy sims, $ 380.000 is indeed a lot, but unlike real life we all know that we won´t be put to jail if we cheat in this game.....cheat a lot!!!
Gyvelsøhus is built on a 29x14 lot originally for the world The City created by Roselil89, maybe you can recall that I´ve built houses for that world before. It has been quite troublesome this one because it wouldn´t do what I wanted it to, but now, I believe, that is history. Please have a look at Gyvelsøhus, and enjoy by the way, that even though my photo skills still lac a lot, the pics here are way better than the one at the Exchange:

Maybe you´d like to have a look inside as well:

For instance to see the look from the sittingroom to the diningroom, or vice versa

There´s also the look from the tv-room to the sitting room:

Let me suggest that you continue to the next page to see the whole slideshow and get more informations about the house

Flyndersøhus, yippie, yet another house for you guys

I know, I´ve slowed down quite a lot lately, but thats only natural, I suppose, after having produced such a number of lots since November.
With this one I´ve still had the world, Simslille, in mind, and it´s placed on Kystvejen 24. You can have it with or without the family it´s build for, the Schwalbes. Would you like to see it?

I´d also like to introduce you to the family who lives here: Meet the Schwalbes:

Father: Preben, mother: Line, twin daughters Katinka and Kamille and toddler son, Kalle.

Ellesøhus, - another house category

At the moment it seems that the houses I make are actually for worlds created by fellow sims freaks from the danish forum I frequently refer to, and this one is just another one in the row.
But the world I´ve made it for is another than the previous "The City" earlier mentioned.
This one is a small island called Simslille made by MeresimP. It is a pretty tiny community with mostly mini lots and we at the forum have all been invited to create residentials and community lots for it just as we would like them to be.
No sooner asked than done, I can´t let an invitation like that pass away without giving at least one entry. So here´s my first little lot for Simslille, Kystvejen 26: Ellesøhus

The lot is only 12x12 but who cares if you have a view like that! The ground floor contains a livingroom with open kitchen and diningroom and a bathroom.

On the first floor you´ll find two small bedrooms one of which is actually passage to the master bedroom. Follow the read more link, to see more pics.

Dybesøhus

Today you are going to get another townhouse from around 1900. This one is carefully restored with respect for the original materials, but the interior decoration is as modern as EA allows :)
By the way, I´ve been taught a lesson about bragging: I use to write that my houses are free of store items. NOT TRUE, I´m sorry! Some times I just don´t see stuff. But at least I´m sure there is no CC!
As for this house I believe there is only 1 store thing: The not-so-private-study door!

To give some variation this time you´ll be presented to the three floors of the house:

 

Christianesøhus

The previous couple of houses I´ve uploaded are made for Roselil89 new neighbourhood: The City.
I have actually built this one for her as well, but who knows, maybe she thinks that other people should have a go as well, so I don´t know yet, if it´ll be there or if I just have to save it for the rest of the world :D
You can have it if you like:

It´s a town house inspired by the ones in Ebert´s Villaby I have mentioned before. Built around 1900, I guess, and supposed to house a family from the upper middleclass.
As I write, I realize that I have forgotten to build butler´s or maid´s quarters, you´ll have to add them for yourselves if you can´t live with a maid who lives elsewhere.

Go to the next page if you´d like to see the whole house. I´ve made a slideshow for you!

Brydesøhuset, another requested lot

Brydesøhuset is another house for Roselil89´s new world: The City.
She asked for villas of all different kinds for a residential neighbourhood and I have made a few for her.
This one is inspired by an area, called Ebert´s villaby on the island Amager, which is a part of Copenhagen. It is a very interesting place with enormous very often quite pompous houses of a larger variety built on tiny lots, so the gardens are incredibly small and dark . It´s the most charming spot in the middle of the largest city in Denmark.

As the houses are so close to each other, the architects would be rather careful with the windows. Nobody wants the neighbours to know everything.

I would guess the place is from around 1900, and my house here is therefore a bit oldfashioned decorated.

Arresøhuset Family, version 3

Finally I have added an expansion to the house so there is room enough for a whole family:

Arresøhuset, version 1 and 2 of 3

One of my mates from the danish forum, http://meresimp.danskforum.net/forum, that I always use to refer to, Is working on a new world, called The City. And she has aske the forum for help to build some houses, which, obviously, I had to try.
Here is my first entry, Arresøhuset:

As you can see, it is very sparsely decorated, as I wanted it to be very cheap. The price is about 20.000 S, so you can´t really call it a starter, but it is still cheap, right!
