I didnвЂ™t want rain or snow to stop Sims from being able to enjoy a meal or the hot tub outside. Since Granite Falls can have some unpredictable weather, I opted to cover the back deck with roofing. I also put in some seating here for Sims to sit down and enjoy their meal. Nothing is more romantic on holiday than enjoying a hot tub on a private deck in the middle of nature.

Another reason I wanted a large back deck was because I wanted to have space for a hot tub with decorative privacy hedges. I put in a fridge, sink, and some counter space along with a BBQ so Sims can enjoy the great outdoors while they grill up something delicious. I opted for an outdoor kitchen on the back deck to fully enjoy all nature has to offer in Granite Falls. How are Sims supposed to eat in this cabin on vacation? Well, thatвЂ™s where the large back deck comes into play.

I finished off the space with some Gallery art by roseymow.ДЄt this point, you might be asking me where on earth the kitchen is. I put in a stone fireplace to keep the happy couple warm during Granite FallsвЂ™ harsh winter months and put in some loveseats with a tiny coffee table and a rug skewed diagonally for visual appeal. After squeezing in a tiny but rustic-chic bathroom, I was left with only a small amount of space to fill. I wanted this place to be as small and cozy as possible. Some cozy rugs, a pine branch ceiling light, and Gallery Art by FruitLoops40 completed the space.ДЄfter doing the bed area, there wasnвЂ™t much space left inside for other amenities but that was perfect for me. Otherwise, they would have snapped to the dresser and float in mid-air since I sized down the dresser. Then I slid the dresser underneath after. To add the decor on top, I used the bb.moveobjects on cheat, the Alt key, and the 9 key to raise the objects to the desired height and place them where the dresser would be first. I used a matching set of nightstands and dresser from Seasons but sized down the dresser once so it wouldnвЂ™t look so huge and bulky in such a small space. It should still feel like a woodsy cabin. This isnвЂ™t supposed to be a super luxurious build. I used those features here as well but kept it to a small one-step platform with no headboard embellishments. You might know from my previous build articles that IвЂ™m a big fan of beds on platforms and beds with a second set of pillows against the headboard. A cozy and rustic place that wasnвЂ™t too fancy but still warm and romantic. I would go back and smooth out or level parts of the terrain frequently as I continued this build to make sure things were situated on it correctly.ДЇor the cabin itself, I wanted it to be very small and intimate. Then I did some adjusting with the surrounding terrain as needed. Once I had a shape I was mostly happy with, I constructed the basic shape of the cabin on top. No easy task when you rarely ever touch the terrain tools. It was hard to visualize the exact shape I would need without anything built yet but I just focused on getting some kind of hill formed. I knew I wanted the cabin to sit on a little hill and have a large back deck with a view of the surrounding forest. I started by sculpting the terrain in roughly the shape I wanted it. I even went way outside of my comfort zone and utilized the terrain tools! This time, IвЂ™ll be showing you how I built a romantic getaway cabin for Granite Falls thatвЂ™s suitable for a couple to enjoy in all seasons and in any type of weather. I have a lot of Sims getting married and going on honeymoons lately, so IвЂ™ve been on a bit of a romance kick when it comes to my builds.
