My grandpa lives in an early 1900s farmhouse. And the bathroom on the main floor is the equivalent of 3 tiles in the sims. But like an L. You can wash your hands while peeing. And you have to side saddle the toilet. Quite interesting

@AlexaFaie 9 ай бұрын

@@kaylaharrington3295 That just sounds like a pretty normal bathroom to me. Most bathrooms here you could reach the sink from the toilet. Bathrooms here rarely get bigger than 2x3 sims tiles. Just enough space for a bath, sink & toilet, nothing extra unless you're super rich. We can't in ours simply because the toilet is in a separate room (just enough space for the toilet, equivalent to 1.5 sims tiles, so can't replicate my house in sims) and the bathroom is as long as the bath in one direction and just enough space for a small pedestal sink next to it. Its kinda L shaped in that there's about a half tile that stick out from the almost box shape. Just enough space to open the door.

Originally my grandmothers shotgun style home built in the mid to late 1800s was heated by just two fireplaces. In the mid 1900s the fireplaces were closed up and big oil heaters were put in front of each one and the exhaust went through a pipe up the chimney. They always kept kettles of water on them for humidity... but there was quite a few times when there was a snow storm and the power went out that we cooked on them.

Love the house. Reminds me of the shotgun homes found here in the southern US. They did them primarily so you could open a door at the front and the back to let a breeze go through the home... usually down the middle but in a tiny home that probably wouldn't work. My grandmothers home was like that, and it was built pre-1890. I'm not sure the exact year, but she was born in 1896, and she was the baby of the family, and I know the other siblings were born there as well. Originally, it did not have a bathroom. They used an outhouse & later made a small area over into a bathroom inside the home... so your squished bathroom makes sense. I'm going to try the challenge... but I think I'm going to also build a home similar to my grandmothers as well. It's inside of small town town now... but originally, the area was agricultural, and it still has the remains a barn, outhouse, and chicken coop area in the back. Maybe I'll try it for horse ranch, too. Her older sister... like many in SC... migrated around 1905 from SC to the border of Alabama & and Florida, where they actually built a horse ranch... and the home was originally a large shotgun style as well. Most people built or helped build their own homes, and it was a design you'll find from the Carolinas to Texas as it was an efficient design and easy to build and add onto as the family grew.

I personally imagined the adult child having moved back in with their elderly mum (who has since moved out of the family house) maybe after they hit a difficult spot in life. That's why their room is so small in my head, because the house wasn't initially meant to live there with two people and mum had to make room or they had to make the guest room their own. But I like your story as well!

Oh! and I could cut my budget in half if I wanted an extra challenge. (how about no). But I might try it again with a tiny home - just to avoid getting the 2-3story mansion builds for a ridicilously low budget
