The Sims 3 is a game that intends to portray life experience as richly as possible and gives gamers full reign every step of the way. The ability to build a house within the game is an interesting experience and has culminated in the discovery of several unconventional building methods, such as the half-wall roof. In essence, gamers using this technique are dividing the second floor walls in half and putting flooring over the top in place of a roof.
How to: Homemade Primitive Decor
Primitive décor includes items that look very old and worn out. Primitive style was born from the people that made their own furniture, clothing, candles, toys, quilts, curtains, and who grew their own food. People used what was available to make what the rich could afford to buy. Clothing was old and stained and eventually wound up a rag doll or a quilt. Many households had furniture that was homemade. Today, we call it folk art or primitive because it was handmade by farmers, school teachers and fishermen for the home and not manufactured for sale. Does this Spark an idea?
