DESIDERATA VALLEY

I actually got these done much quicker than expected. That's due in part to having some unexpected time off from work thanks to a bit of a cold, but also because I was really enjoying doing these.

As with the rest of the series, I wanted to capture the feel of the particular neighborhood I was focused on. Of them all, Desiderata is probably the most homogenous. It very much feels like a modern suburb. No one's really too far off the demographic, even if you factor in Natasha Una, the artist hippie or John Mole, the secret spy.

For these houses, I looked at contemporary designs for inspiration. With this type of house, there isn't too much history yet, but give it some time.

As with the previous group, here's the rundown:

All houses are on flat 3x3 lots
All houses are built for playability rather than just looks.
This series was built with all expansions and stuff packs.
Just Maxis, No CC was used (I despise downloading cc via lots).
Every house has a basement storage area for bat boxes, sim blenders, pose boxes, etc.
The two houses without attached garages do have space for a driveway
Houses are minimally decorated - enough to provide inspiration, but not enough to annoy.
All houses should be clean, but you should use clean installer anyway.
