Willow House

Another scary, over-the-top Gothic Victorian Revival from QubeDesign. Two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, dark and creepy everything. No spider webs! But if you're not afraid, this really is a charming little home your Sim will be happy in for years to come. 


So many features make this lot truly special - herringbone hardwood floors, dark paneled rooms, wonderful details (such as the mullioned windows and the beamed ceilings), and a compact floor plan ideal for a single, couple or small family offering room to grow. Eventually the attic could become a wonderful master suite, and the partially developed basement offers room for a pool table, gym, hot-tub room, or small in-law apartment.

The main floor offers a lovely entranceway with grand staircase, with a quiet library to the left, and a cozy living room with fireplace to the right. Adjacent to the living room is a formal dining room and a large family kitchen (with breakfast solarium, laundry room and half-bath) spans the rear of the house. Basement stairs leads to three large rooms, two having french doors out to the lap pool. Stepped windows follow the staircase to the second floor, where you are greeted by a cozy reading nook and grand hallway just waiting for all the family portraits. There is also a large family bathroom, two bedrooms (the master bedroom has a private door to the bathroom), and another staircase leads to the full-height attic with whimsical lookouts and space to reconfigure to your future needs. The 30 x 30 lot is small enough to fit into any world while still offering a lushly landscaped garden (with wishing well), multiple terraces, lap pool and detached garage at the end of the lane. 

As with all QubeDesign lots, you are welcomed to renovate, build onto, place upon larger lots, decorate to your ideal personal taste, and have as much fun as possible with. I always aim to give you the best possible architectural detail in the smallest file-size possible, all I ask is that you do not re-upload and claim as your own.

Juniper Hill

Lot: 25 x 25

Qube Design is pleased to offer you a lovely small family home of questionable heritage. We're not really sure how old it is, or if there are any secrets your sims should know about (although it's rumoured that there is a secret attic room behind a sliding bookcase....).

Until your family finds that room, they'll be happy to enjoy 2 big bedrooms, 4 full baths, garage, pool, numerous decks and a dramatic split-level kitchen / family dining room. There's also a main floor music room, HUGE living room, attic office (or third bedroom), and a fully developed basement featuring laundry room, workshop area in the garage, a gym, spa area and full bathroom off the pool area. 

This lot is fully furnished and equipped, and game-tested.

New Day: $14,603 Furnished!!

20 x 30 lot:


Are you a Sims 3 game player who might want a stylish, but purist, 'non-cheat-code' starter home to plunk a freshly-baked Sim into? Just for you, I decided to challenge myself and build (and furnish) a true starter home for less than $16,000. In two hours.

I really had to pull out all the design secrets and stops on this build. I used every build-option I could think of to save money - everything from colouring the grass into the flagstone interior floor, to pasting up the cheapest wallpaper available, then re-colouring it into brick, wood and tile. I used pattern, colour and texture to create the illusion of wall art and expensive area rugs, and each furniture piece was selected simply because it was the least expensive available (then re-coloured to match the interior). All the landscaping plants (baby bamboo trees and hydrangeas) were selected because of their price-point - the hydrangeas are only $1 a piece.

There were a few design splurges, like the clear-storey windows and glass entry door, but some of the best design, like the interesting roof lines and the lot contouring, were free (and yes, even the mailbox and garbage can have been designer-matched - sorry, I just couldn't stop myself....) Best of all, if placed on any small 20 x 30 $1,200 lot (like this one on Maywood Lane in Sunset Valley), 'New Day' comes in at $14,603.

So why dump your poor, new Sim into a dreadful, run-of-the-mill EA starter house? Don't you think all the plucking and pulling they just went through in the CAS system was torture enough? Why not show them some mercy? Let your Sim's 'New Day' begin here!

All build and decor items are available free of charge, compliments of the talented artists who take the time to create these incredible objects and patterns, and then simply share them.
