You’ll probably find it quite handy along the same lines as the diagonal fireplace if you ever struggle to fit the typical square models into your builds. I wasn’t even in Kindergarten yet, so I hadn’t discovered the life-altering experience of The Sims. LOolyharb1 converted this from The Sims 2 and it’s just as epic now as it was in 2004. This strangely shaped, almost extraterrestrial-looking design was super popular in the ‘60s and stuck around in homes for a couple decades after. It’s another great corner piece, and pretty much the smallest iteration of a heat source you’ll find. I know, for many Simmers that’s grounds to have me flogged.īut a fireplace that’s almost identical to this one is in The Sims 3, and I used that thing relentlessly. I can’t explain it, but somehow that little bit of framing around the bottom all around makes it look neater, especially once it’s in the corner. This also includes a mesh override which adds a ledge to the bottom of the fireplace. Your Sims will still have a cozy heat source and a mantleplace to put family photos on, but it’ll be off in the corner, unintrusive and chic. Mostly because if you’re not careful and place objects a little too close, a stray spark will scorch the place.īut I know that not everyone wants it to be the focal point of the room, especially in more modern builds, and a diagonal fireplace is the perfect compromise. That’s how it winds up in my builds, at least. It tends to be the centerpiece of a room, which all other furniture and décor revolves around. I mean, a fireplace isn’t exactly subtle. You wind up sacrificing floor space, windows, or ultimately leaving the room a little too cluttered. Many floorplans don’t leave room for the traditional fireplace that needs to be placed flat against a wall.
