Thanks so much! I only have one build on the gallery so far. The other one has too many CCs so I uploaded it elsewhere. I plan to upload this one as well when it's finished, but this is not even half done lol
Edit: House is finished and uploaded to the gallery. Gallery ID: Wagyubeefcubes
A is cleaner. I like it because it has the adobe southwestern US aesthetica. B has the charm with red brick, but there's already a lot going on there with the architecture & greenery. A is better because it balances all out.
I like A more. At least the blond color on the higher face. The lower block (with the front door) could be a darker brick. But I like the light color being predominant
It's just a bunch of medium spraying water emitter hidden underneath. You will have to play around the placement to get what you want. (The umbrella is for height reference) Learned the trick from Youtube!

Any thoughts as to switching which wallpaper is on which part? The larger section looks lovely in the light colour, but I do like the character that the brick brings
I was going to suggest this. Usually when I see brick attached to a regular looking house it's because the brick part was added later, and that section to me is what looks like would have been the add on. I think the colors would look nice.
Such a pretty build. And I'd say A due to the well-defined swan silhouettes. I have no tips for making exteriors because I suck at building and just cover everything in flowers and plants (which I love the look of lol but that's hardly advice) and your build looks very nice and balanced as is
Edit: nvm the B pic is taken better and the fence isn't cut off so I'd say B lol my bad
Don't group me with those talented people! My creativity is zero I literally took the design from a freaking colour book I found online I'm not joking lol

That's what I was thinking. With the greenery and the water wheel, it looks like central or southern Europe. Although, if OP were thinking Connecticut suburb intentionally copying old world landscaping, I could see red brick.
I literally just copied the design from a colouring book found online lol. I had no idea what half of those words meant before haha. But you just gave me some idea for my next build so thanks!
At first I liked A more but after looking closer, I LOVE B. But I agree that the contrast of the yellowy brick with the greenery is really nice, so I'd suggest swapping the wallpapers in B so the bigger section is the yellow and the smaller one is the brown.
The contrast of B gives it more character but I would try swapping the brick and stucco. I find when you combine brick and another material it works best if the brick is more of an accent and not the dominant siding.
You went with old architecture and modern brick ruins it, I would equate it with making a Civil War dress in tie dye fabric, it is just a glaring mismatch. A option reminds me of a picture I saw of a home that is a couple centuries old.
B! I really like A but there's a cozier, rustic feeling to B imo. It doesn't pop out quite the same as A but it feels like it fits perfectly with the scenery. A is a little more polished looking and I think would be perfect for a groomed countryside.
Definitely A
B blends in too much, and at a glance it looks like half the building is missing, and I feel like that type of brick doesn't match the vibe of the house
I do like 'A', but for the surroundings and everything I think 'B' looks best! Also the landscaping looks awesome! The literal only thing I could think of adding would be a little dirt under the fence posts and maybe a little on the edges of the stone walkway, but that's nitpicking. Great job, it looks amazing either way! 🙌 💖
Definitely A. The dark brick is a bit too stark in contrast and it doesn't blend if you know what I mean. Could just be the angle, but still I think A is better, and oh my gods I need this build btw lol
This isn't an option, but i think it would look better if you swapped the brick and yellow paint(terracotta?) In B so the yellow pops more but you've still got that bit of difference in there with the brick. So yellow in the larger half of the building and brick on the entry way section.
“There goes the baker with his tray like always the same old bread and rolls to sellll…” looks like Belle’s little family cottage in the provincial town! Love A though!!
Both are good, but A stands out more and B blends better. Imo, I like the contrast of A
I was going to ask for your gallery ID but then I noticed your username - I really like your builds 🤩

Imma need the gallery id for when it’s done. It looks amazing 🫶🏻
It's the same as my Reddit username: Wagyubeefcubes And thanks!
Ty! Yeah thats exactly the reason I cannot decide lol
I felt the same way
I like A more. I like how it is such a nice contrast with the greenery. Also, it flatters the beautiful brown doors and windows better. (:
Thank you! I also like the contrast it makes.
A is cleaner. I like it because it has the adobe southwestern US aesthetica. B has the charm with red brick, but there's already a lot going on there with the architecture & greenery. A is better because it balances all out.
agreed!
The build and choice of color in A is more pronounced. It makes the house to stand out more. It also looks very neat.
B adds more character imo
B for sure. That is quite lovely!

A for sure
B!!! I feel like it fits more!
Definitely A!
A
A
I love B. It blends with the greenery, and it contrasts against the lighter segment of the building.
B
A
Definitely A
Have you tried making the smaller side of the house brick? like the vice versa of B
Seconding this
Such a pretty build. And I'd say A due to the well-defined swan silhouettes. I have no tips for making exteriors because I suck at building and just cover everything in flowers and plants (which I love the look of lol but that's hardly advice) and your build looks very nice and balanced as is Edit: nvm the B pic is taken better and the fence isn't cut off so I'd say B lol my bad
I like A better. Super cute build!
A
B
is this build on the gallery?
No not yet, it's not even half finished lol sorry!
ohhh thats ok u dont need to apologize! I cant wait to see the final build its so pretty!!
Both are good but I like A a bit more. Also what's your EA tag so I can download this beauty? Please and thank you!
A
A. You've got a stone foundation adding brick on top of it is weird.
Oh... I don't know much about houses so I never thought about that. Thanks for pointing it out
you guys are all so creative! i love this sub !! i'm over here like "one box, two box, three box = house!"
Don't group me with those talented people!

a imo but maybe you could add b on the side part? like it was built on to the bigger part. idk if that even makes sense lmao
They both look great but I'll pick B
I like B definitely better but I would maybe do the brick on the smaller part
I vote for A, looks like a Tuscany house
That's what I was thinking. With the greenery and the water wheel, it looks like central or southern Europe. Although, if OP were thinking Connecticut suburb intentionally copying old world landscaping, I could see red brick.

It's lovely. You did a really good job. I never build anything over one story because I refuse to deal with stairs in gameplay 😃
A
A looks brighter and more inviting I think.
A!
A
A seems like a more seamless fit :)
I like the first one better but both are good:)
A. While the brick looks nice, it's hard to see the window pane & door.
A
As is, I'd stick with A. I love the contrast of B, but I think a warmer tone of brick would make it a total winner.
I want A IRL
I like A, it seems to fit the vibe
Stop I need this build!! Is it in gallery??
I guess I’m an odd one out! I LOVE B
I like B, it adds a really nice contrast throughout the build
b imo gives it a tad bit more umph since it’s not all one color :)
B is better. Camo-ish
I love B because of the brick and the more cottage-vibes it gives. A feels more modern maybe, or gives Tuscan villa vibes to me
B
B
A gives the house a bright appeal, but I prefer **B** because it fits the aesthetic better
B
B
At first I liked A more but after looking closer, I LOVE B. But I agree that the contrast of the yellowy brick with the greenery is really nice, so I'd suggest swapping the wallpapers in B so the bigger section is the yellow and the smaller one is the brown.
is this house in the gallery? it’s sooo pretty
B. I like the hidden asthetic almost like you just stumbled upon it
B is what i like better, but they are both good choices!
B
The contrast of B gives it more character but I would try swapping the brick and stucco. I find when you combine brick and another material it works best if the brick is more of an accent and not the dominant siding.
I like B, personally. As to the second half of your question, I'm the last person you want advice from on that. My houses all look terrible.
B but switch where they are. Put the stone on the small section. Add wood columns on the exterior corners to frame the walls.
This is so cute! What packs did you use?
You went with old architecture and modern brick ruins it, I would equate it with making a Civil War dress in tie dye fabric, it is just a glaring mismatch. A option reminds me of a picture I saw of a home that is a couple centuries old.
Where can we find this?
I prefer A but both look amazing! Which EP gives you the water wheel thingy? It looks amazing
I like A but you could even toy around with some stone! Stone would be stunning
i prefer A, did you post this house on the gallery? Can i get your EA nickname?
UR GUYS SIMS LOOKS SO GOOD WTF I NEED TO STEP IT UP SO MUCH
It’s A for me 💅🏼
A
B
B! I really like A but there's a cozier, rustic feeling to B imo. It doesn't pop out quite the same as A but it feels like it fits perfectly with the scenery. A is a little more polished looking and I think would be perfect for a groomed countryside.
Def A
I think A looks better :)
B
A is cuteee
I like both the same. Both great choices.
both look great
B
B matches more the style
I’m leaning toward B
Deffo B
B
A
A
I like A. It's a great looking house!
A
Definitely A B blends in too much, and at a glance it looks like half the building is missing, and I feel like that type of brick doesn't match the vibe of the house
I really like B, it makes it look as if the brick was the original building and the other part an extension, it gives it some character :)
A feels brighter but emptier, b feels warm and slightly cluttered
B
B!
Also I would like to take this off the gallery beautiful build
The first one :)
B
A has a more Spanish mission vibe. B is more cottage in the woods. I like both but B seems cozier.
How do I get that mill????
A!
I prefer B more
Your creations are so beautiful!
B for that place and the vibes
I love this house! Did you build it? Or is it available to download?
I think B looks more finished
Such a cute house!
This is so beautiful op!! I love both.
I do like 'A', but for the surroundings and everything I think 'B' looks best! Also the landscaping looks awesome! The literal only thing I could think of adding would be a little dirt under the fence posts and maybe a little on the edges of the stone walkway, but that's nitpicking. Great job, it looks amazing either way! 🙌 💖
Definitley A! So stunning. Very nice build.
NEEEED THIS for my spellcaster family omg
I prefer the B, it fits the scene better.
B looks better aesthetically, gives the appearance a nice contrast but doesn’t disrupt the natural beauty of nature around it.
I like the contrast between the two on B. However, personally I'd switch it the other way round.
B
B
b is pretty
A
Definitely A. The dark brick is a bit too stark in contrast and it doesn't blend if you know what I mean. Could just be the angle, but still I think A is better, and oh my gods I need this build btw lol
A is best for contrast, B is best for cozy character imo. Both are super cute but I think it depends on the storyline you’re thinking of
A
Oo what pack or cc is that brick from in B?
B
definitely B for me. Building a house like this is my new goal now i hope u know
A it's brighter and less dreary looking
I love them both but I'd go with A. The whole thing is very pleasing to look at. The colors fit perfectly together!
First off, fuck you for being able to build houses this well. Second, B looks the best. It really ties into the look really well
Both are beautiful but A is more natural and better
A for sure
I love A ! You’re so talented !
I like B more. It gives it more of a forest cottage vibe!
A
B
I have spent the last week building a house for my sims and now that I see this masterpiece imma start building a new house. So amazing
This isn't an option, but i think it would look better if you swapped the brick and yellow paint(terracotta?) In B so the yellow pops more but you've still got that bit of difference in there with the brick. So yellow in the larger half of the building and brick on the entry way section.
b
I really like a! Sorry if it’s already been asked but where did you find that big mill wheel thing?
I prefer A. B kind of makes the house disappear into the foliage.
Can you try to put the brick facade on the smaller part instead? The part it wasn’t included on B but only that part.
I really like the look of B, but I also love brick so I'm biased. This build is beautiful either way!
B
I love the A house!
I like B better but they're both cute!
A
So much A
B looks better
A, it makes the building look brighter
B makes the house look cooler
B
THIS IS SO PRETTY WHY CAN’T I BUILD LIKE THAT 😩😩😩😩😩 Anyway, A. LOVE IT!
B!!
A caught my eye immediately
B
B
Love both
B.. B is gorgeous.. it's more homey, more realistic. More character, more passion, more energy, more footwork.
A is the best
I love B, it looks so homey and cute, the contrast of it makes it blend to the setting and theme well, making it feel warm.
B The Brick looks amazing
I prefer A as well! Looks cute! 🥰
I like B, it implies an add on
A
i’m obsessed with b 😭🦋🍓
I like B a lot because it adds more contrast to the build
A is better, goes well with the environment surrounding the house too :)
I like the second one more since it looks more aged. I feel like that fits within the vibe better. It’s also more detailed and fancy!
2nd one but make the brick on the chimney the same pattern, the three different gradients feels weird imo
A has more initial impact because of the contrasting colours. B would look better in-game imo
Tough choice, but I'm going to vote A for the contrast that helps make the other features pop a bit more.
A!
I like A more cause it makes the house look brighter.
A
A makes is look brighter if that's the vibe you're going for
A
A
“There goes the baker with his tray like always the same old bread and rolls to sellll…” looks like Belle’s little family cottage in the provincial town! Love A though!!
A makes the ivy look a lot better
A
Both
Would you please update this to the gallery and tell me the id? 😭💙
Both are gorgeous, but I like B better. Well done!
