wanted to bring another dimension to building in The Sims. I love Instagram pages about interior design and architecture and I wanted to do something like that, Architectural Digest style, showing people that one can really experiment with design in The Sims and create beautiful images. I think that builders often share their work but don’t always think about the media and the beauty of the photo itself. This is why according to me YouTube is so appreciated to share content. Videos allow builders to share their work easily in 3D and Instagram is more of an image based media. I would love to build gigantic palaces such as 42 Versailles or Windsor Palace, but the lots are too small, poor me. On another note, I want to be more creative and clever about landscaping! I want to get more creative at landscaping! I get inspired by multiple things, what stimulates me the most is historical builds inspired by eras and precise styles. If I build a castle, I get inspired by one precise style, like Elizabethan Renaissance, or 19th Century French second empire style. I  like to be very accurate with those. When it comes to modern builds it’s more intuitive. As an example, the latest Sulani villa I shared was inspired by the picture of a beach in the Seychelles I saw in a magazine. SIMPERIUM
