The Malloys just moved into a house in Sunset Valley that has an enclosed patio area inside the main living space.

As is, the roof is open to the outdoors, and the floor is unfinished with flowers planted directly in sandy ground.

I've been experimenting with different looks for this area. Since I keep my cold seasons very short, I could close the roof for those few days and just deal with the unfinished room moodlet for the brief time the sims garden.

Then it could be used as a regular garden area with a sprinkler to water the plants.

I like this indoor garden area. It's simple for growing just a few plants. And using the sprinkler would save time.

Or, I could use the area as a combo patio/garden room, close the roof permanently, and use the indoor planting rugs. This might be best if I want to grow even less plants.
The home has plenty of sofas, so I thought a better idea would be to take out the patio seats and put in another small table for casual dining instead.
And that's how I have it in game right now.
