SIMple Homes: The Unseen TARDIS by SIMple Homes (Sims 3)

Here at SIMple Homes we know that other creators and lot builders have created the Doctor's TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Space) in many forms, from sculptures, to modded working ones which were bigger on the inside than the out (but stopped working once the game was upgraded), and others that require a teleporter or elevator to reach the "interior" built on sub-levels. We decided on a different approach, and scoured the internet for information about the TARDIS from across the years.

We based our exterior design loosely on what many seem to think it should look like. Obviously due to size restrictions we could not build the full range of rooms (which includes fourteen bathrooms and seven squash courts, as well as a store room to house unused/saved rooms), so we focused on what we discovered were the most commonly known rooms, and designed our decor to match the TARDIS from different time-periods, or with no suitable reference material did our own thing.

The above image was a proposed view of the shape of the interior of the TARDIS. We used this as a loose idea reference, and then added our own touches.

The Unseen TARDIS consists of four levels in all, and entrance into the house is through the famous blue police box.

The basement level is purely the lower central core housed under the console room. There is space in there for adding other furniture or equipment as your sims require. We have kept it as the Central Core only (to our own design).

Ground Floor consists of:

Front and rear gardens including front patio and garden maze - bespoke design

Entrance Police Box

Console Room

Hot Tub Room (The official rooms stated a sauna room, but a hot-tub was more feasible for this design)

Indoor Swimming Pool

Gymnasium - The Tenth Doctor stated he was going to install one, so we did it for him.

One-Car Garage with additional scooter as per the episode The Idiot's Lantern where the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler ride out of the TARDIS on a scooter.

The hot-tub, swimming pool, gym and garage are accessible via the first floor.

Our Console Room is based on the 2013 TARDIS with the Eleventh Doctor (Matt Smith). We have included images we used as reference to work on console designs, and general room appearance. Due to the inability to create a reasonable sized hexagonal console, we went with square, and so only created four of the six console patterns, but we also created the side console patterns as well as bespoke wallpaper and floor patterns too.

The first floor is only accessed from the Console Room and consists of:

Dressing Room

Separate rooms for toilet and sink, and bath and shower

Kitchen Diner with laundry facilities

Second Bedroom in an Asian style (our choice)

Bathroom for Second Bedroom

Third Bedroom with bunk beds as per when Amy Pond and Rory are given a room with bunk beds. Design of room is our own though.

Bathroom for Third Bedroom

Cloister Room with Cloister Bell (our design based on descriptions we found, and the content available in the sims inventory)

Doctor's personal study and library combined (the library in the TARDIS is massive, but we decided to join two rooms together to save space)

The top floor only has a few more rooms:

Master Bedroom - Instead of the current bedroom we opted for a more traditional approach which we felt was suited to this build.
Lounge and reception room, because after all, why wouldn't the Doctor and his companions want to relax and put their feet up occasionally?
The Zero Room - The one place an injured Doctor can go to recover. The design of this room is based on the room the fifth doctor recovered in. We couldn't supply the smell of roses though.

We hope that you and your sims enjoy this lot as much as we did building it.
