I love that chimney Bab. Is it real, or walls?

[babolat85]

Chimney, enclosed with walls. :P

Very nice Blake! :dmille:

[Blake_SC]

Thanks Paradise! :D!

[EllieHunter]

This is the third home we have lived in..

[Nissun_]

I made a desert neighbourhood, some sort of isolated, self-sufficient community. I'm combining high tech with rural stuff, like they are a group of people that decided to live there, instead of living in an automated city.

Or maybe they are settlers in another planet. Nah, I prefer the previous idea. Anyways:

Yeah, it's a small underground farm.

[psivampyr]

I'd like to see the inside of the underground farm. Thats a really interesting idea, I bet it has really neat story lines in your head when you play it.

[Morlock]

I decide to build a farm, found some amazing content and cobbled it together.

An 18th Century, modernised farm.

(Stables/tack room and paddock)

And finally...barn in background, main entrance on left, tonnes and tonnes of parking space on cobbles [horizontally and vertically] and a triple garage [white building on right] with workshop.

Renovation is near completion.

[QueenOfRad]

I had to thumbnail the image. It looks better saved as png. The house doesn't look that great, but I'm posting it anyways because I used a lot of things I never really used, and it came out better than expected.

[Rainy_Day]

That farm looks awesome!

livvyfaye, I love that house!

[babolat85]

Blake - Cool row houses.
EllieHunter - I love those types of houses.
Nissun - Funky looking bunker.
Morlock Awesome farm!
livvyfaye I love that house.
Rainy_Day Interesting house, it reminds me of a treehouse.

Some Dawn shots, I recently reinstalled the Lighting Mod.

[Paradise]

Babolat that looks awesome! I am def trying out that mod! :D

Thanks QueenofRad! And that's an awesome stark home, prettyteddybear! Its so cool. :)

[livvyfaye]

Thanks for the comments!

[gonebynow_SC]

Here's the house I recently uploaded onto MTS2. It was a rebuild of an old house I posted here before.

http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk203/lostforwordslol123/sims/8.jpg

prettyteddybear I love the use of the pool on the outside of the house. :D
Babolat85 That doesn't even look like The Sims! :blink:
Rainy_Day That looks like such a fun house to build. :P

[lmfjaxxon]

Bab, you have done it again...I surely want that lot as well :D. Bravo

PrettyTeddyBear, I :luff: your lot as well

Morlock, Nice ;) barn....

[Ebbe]

gonebynow, I love your house design. It looks very expandable. Like I wouldn't be afriad to work on it, unlike some other homes. It has a lot of potential.

[PearDrops]

livvyfaye: That house is really cute, I bet it's really cosy inside.

[gonebynow_SC]

Thankies Ebbe. :D

Here's my first apartment building. I finished building the actual apartments then forgot I wanted to add a little park and common area, so it's all smushed in. :P

The landlord sneaked into the piccy. :taekwondo

[Ebbe]

gonebynow, once again. I love it. It's all so compact but looks functional and great use of those tall trees, it complimets it very well.

[jenny]

gonebynow...great apartment! lov eit:D

[Night Racer]

THAT IS AWSOME
i want it ;)
i have never used any of the BV trees (exept the tropical ones)..perhaps i should...

[gonebynow_SC]

Aww thanks guys. :luff:

I was thinking about uploading it but it has too much custom content, so it'd be complicated to rake through it all and find out what can be kept and what can't. And two of my simmies have moved in so it'd be sad to move them out. :P

I might do it when I have time, though. ;)

[Dozo_SC]

Gonebynow Your apartment is quite the character. I can't wait to get AL.
Babolat85 Lovely, huge, spectacular. That pretty much sums it up.
livvyfaye It's so bright and colourfull. I love it.

May I present... Lusifer Woodburn's house (The outside anyway...)

http://i489.photobucket.com/albums/rr256/Dozo/s36.jpg

He practically lives on the lake.

[gonebynow_SC]

So I gave in and decided to see just how much custom content I had in those apartments. Turns out I had not as much as I thought, in fact it's Maxis only now, so I've decided to upload it to MTS2. I think it's uploading right now, so all I have to do is wait for approval. :D

http://i33.tinypic.com/25gexwy.jpg

Dozo That looks like a fun place to live! I love how you've landscaped it and the little bridge is so cute.

[Ebbe]

^^ good job, time I get AL this is mine.

[babolat85]

Dozo - That lake is pretty.
gonebynow - I like those apartments, especially with the gym.

[psivampyr]

Babolat85- I am in love with your house there. I never can get my yards to look half of what you have shown.
Dozo- I really love the way you captured the wilderness in his yard. I can see why he spends all his time at the lake.
Everyone makes such nice homes and yards. I need to study them and try to figure out how to make them in my game.

[Shrewsbury333_SC]

Me again! :D

This time with a very simple house.

Uzbek style maybe? :einstein

Bab: your gardens inspire me. but then i go overboared...and then the garden is un-usable cuz i have gunmods camera mod with no fade...so moving around the garden is torture X_X

shrew: i normaly dont like...arabic (?) style...but that is really very nice.


here is a small preview of what a majority of the houses of Autumn Valley...the neighborhood some of you have seen me mention here and there...will look like..in general (i will post the hood when it is entirley done...if it ever gets there)
(and yes..i SHAMELESSLEY took "bits" from Bab...but...his houses..i mean...LOOK AT THEM...)

in live mode the trees will go orange and leaves will fall...then itll feel more "autumly"

the house...its not done yet

[lmfjaxxon]

I have seen some lots in my day but you guys so rock :bow:

-GonebyNow, I am so :luff:ing that apartment and I hope MTS2 approves it :D.

-Bab, your lots are always amazing but you have really outdone yourself this time :wow...I surely am grateful for the apartment you uploaded and I am praying you upload more and that is how much I think of your building style / technique ;)....

-NightRacer, your lots are always smashing as well and I really love what you have done with this one :up:....

-Shrewsberry, I have seen a house kinda like that and I like yours as well....I really love the vibrant colors you used to decorated it :D...

Good work Ladies and Gents....I bow and take my hat off and tilt to ya :clap:....

[gonebynow_SC]

Night Racer I just love that house! I love the roof, it must've taken some time to perfect. I can't wait to see your neighbourhood too. :D
Shrewsbury333 I always love your lots. You must put alot of time and effort into making them. They're so awesome and not just your usual houses. :gonemad:
Babolat85 Your houses always look so realistic and perfectly landscaped. Your sims are very lucky, I'd love to live in that house. :P
lmfjaxxon Thank youuu. It got approved last night, yay. :dance:

Here's a little random one I made not long ago when I started my custom hood.

[Shrewsbury333_SC]

gonebynow mm... Not really. This house i've made in 30 minutes. I discovered that builded houses was more fanny that manage the sim's life.

At least for me

Night racer Thanks! but is not arabic, it's Uzbek :einstein

[lmfjaxxon]

GonebyNow, I'm glad your apartment got approved at MTS2 and I must go there and snag it :D....and I so loving this other lot as well. I really love your building styles ;)...

[beatdoc16]

I'm just so proud of this house I had to share it. http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp101/beatdoc16/Quinnhouse-1.jpg

gonebynow - that hose is so cute, its lovely!
Nightracer - Fantastic house
Shrewsbury - I just love how warm and cosy this house looks on the inside.
Babolat - just wow! You put my poor-as garden attempts to shame

[CiaoAlora]

beatdoc, that house is really lovely! I love the colors you used. :D

[jenba]

gonebynow, I seriously want to live in that little yellow house, and beatdoc, your house is so sweet and cozy-looking.

I love looking at everyone's houses and thought I'd share one that I've been working on. It's in my retro 'hood, Holiday Hills, which takes its inspiration from the time period between 1948ish and 1963ish. This particular house is based on "modern" ranch homes from the 1950s.

[jenny]

jenba~ I adore that house and love that time frame, well done..you did a fantastic job:D
beatdoc~ i love it! very traditional:)
Gonebynow~I'm also a fanof your homes..very nice:)

[treejen]

jenba: I love that ranch home! I've been building similar styles, but yours is just amazing :)
Shrewsbury333: I've always loved to build houses like that, ever since Sims 1 ;) It looks lovely, especially the interior!

[Izzy]

jenba- that ranch home is gorgeous! I love it!
beatdoc16- your house is darling!

[Phyllis_SC]

So many lovely houses!

gonebynow - That house is so cute yet so simple.
beatdoc - It's great how you can mix colors and textures. I always try to do that when I am building but it never works out. Good work.
jenba - Wow! It's so realistic. It looks like so many houses I drive by on a daily basis. The 109 on the house is very charming.
psivampyr - I applaud anyone who has the patience to complete a beach house. Well done.

[Charley-x]

everybodies buildings look great - i love how you all have lovely roofs, i can't do them so i hit auto roof- even with bp's build tutorial :P.
.. and gonebynow i LOVE your building style... :D
beatdoc16: that house looks my best friends dads' old house !! its georgous.

[jenba]

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone. :-)

Izzy - That duplex is sweet! I love the white windows with that brick. The white roof trim is a nice touch. And um, I wanna live in the resident center. ;-) (I have a thing for cute little houses.)

psivampyr - Awesome beach house! I would never think to use that color myself, being a bit cowardly when it comes to bold shades, but it looks really cool and fits the beach theme. Nice surfboard out back. Hep looks like he's waiting for his owner to come out and play. :-)

[miceghost]

http://i35.tinypic.com/2j2gmms.jpg
i was actually thinking of uploading it to MTS2, but i'm not sure where all the custom content came from so idk.

[gonebynow_SC]

Woaaah, I love that house miceghost. :wow:
jenba I love love loooove that wee house! It looks so realistic.
Izzy They're so cute and awesome. :D
psivampyr I can never build beach houses but you pulled it off extremely well.

Thankies everyone. Here's the next house I plan on uploading to MTS2. The piccies aren't very good but I had to resize them for here. :P

jenba- I was planning to do it in a white wash, but the interior is all blue and my husband said he prefered the aqua over the white. I am glad you like it. I am happy with it, just unsure what to do when the sims starts a family as its a bachelor pad and not meant for more then 1 sim or a non-breeding couple.

[Clear]

ROFL ROFL.
I am so jealous of everyone >w<;
I just got the game and I'm still learning..
I make those crappy box - houses. xD

[psivampyr]

Theres nothing wrong with box houses- most of my fondest memories are in box houses. My aunt in real life dated a man that lived in a bright yellow box house- we used to call it the cracker house because it looked like a box of crackers.
Break from the box, add another box accross the lot and add say a hall to connect the 2 boxes and then work off of that. Its a good way to break out of the box if you want to feel adventurous. Least that could happen was you made a giant connect the box lot. :)

[romyhorse]

There is alot of talent in this thread!

This house was inspired by Curio's houses:

[babolat85]

miceghost - I LOVE that house. It's cute.
gonebynow Awesome row-esque house. The little porch thing is cute.

-edit- romyhorse I like that house, it looks really different and interesting.

Inspired by jenba's beautiful ranch house on the previous page, I decided to take a stab at the style myself.

[omgitsashley]

ahh bab, u need to upload that one!

[chibspan]

Babolat: That ranch house looks almost exactly like the house I live in right now, the only differences are that we have no fire place and the carport is enclosed. You're ranch house is much nicer too, lovely garden!

[AngelFrouk]

Babolat; Upload!!!

[babolat85]

Babolat; Upload!!!

Not a problem, I'll upload it tomorrow. :)

[AngelFrouk]

Not a problem, I'll upload it tomorrow. :)
Yay! I think you'll make a lot of people happy with that :)

[inkbottleblue]

jenba: your traditional ranch house is so awesome! I love that style of house, but don't think I could recreate it in game...I'll have to try. Do you upload your houses by any chance?

Babolat: Yours looks so good too! I'm really gonna have to try it now.

[novemberlove_SC]

Romyhorse, That house is absolutely beautiful! Please upload it :) :)

[jenba]

miceghost - I love that house! Very cool Victorian. And you took the picture from an interesting angle. I like!

gonebynow - That's a great tiny house! I like how the AL windows look on it.

romyhorse - Wow, that is a stunning house. So many great details like the bicycles in the garage and the flowers above the doorway. Your yard landscaping is amazing -- my motivation always runs out before I get to that!

babolat - Awesome ranch!! You rock with the landscaping, too. I am so going to download that! Love the carport!

inkbottleblue - I haven't uploaded any houses in a long while, but I could give it a shot if you're interested. That one might be tricky since it's on very steep beach lot (which you can't see in the pics). But I'll be building more like it on flat ground -- maybe I'll upload those!

[lmfjaxxon]

Romy wasn't lying...There is certainly some talent in these threads :D.

-Romy, I love that house and please tell me you uploaded it :lol:...

-Bab, I am so glad you are uploading this lot ;)...

I love looking at these pics...You guys are good :up:....

[teardrops182]

Beautiful houses, everyone!

@romyhorse I love the garden! You've managed to use Curio's style really well, but your house still has it's own charms :P

@babolat Ahh I love it's vintage-ness!! I reckon how you seperated the lawn and the driveway with shrubbery worked really well.

[romyhorse]

Thanks for all the lovely comments :) I play tested it and it needs a couple of adjustments then it will be uploaded to S2S.

I can't wait until I start building again and let's hope that it's soon'ish, :lol:....

[Shnorlick_SC]

Chimney, enclosed with walls. :P

OMG I am SOOOOO slow!
I never thought of enclosing a chimney with walls and yet now I've seen you do it, it seems so obvious!

Funky house, I like it.

[AngelFrouk]

Babolat, thank you. Grabbed it this morning!

Yeah, I checked your website out so I saw the pictures of the back. If you do upload them, that'd be awesome--but if it's too difficult, don't worry about it. And your stories are awesome by the way!

Babolat85 I'm loving that retro house! I have the urge to make a retro hood now. :p

gonebynow, I like it! The little fenced-off garden is cute.

[IAmMadi]

Daisie - Your house is quite cute. I would LOVE a house like that in my neighbourhood.

gonebynow - You should definately upload it! I would definately download it!

[Shnorlick_SC]

How do you guys get the white edging to the roofs?

[kustirider2]

Gonebynow: You should definatley upload! I Love it!

[Avaluna]

I love that house gonebynow! I would immediately download it. :D

[babolat85]

*joins the gonebynow fanclub* - It's cute!
Daisie - Your houses are always amazing.

[chowgilly]

Babolat - That ranch house is great, got a real authentic feel to it.
Croc, i love the Comedy Club, i like the little touch of the colored curtains on each level.
Shnorlick - Definitely improving, practise goes a long way.

Iv been feeling rather creative lately so had a stab at creating a little apartment plaza type of thing, just cleared out a lot of CC and thinking of uploading it. What you think?

Shrewsbury: That mosque is magnificent. How long did it take you to build it?


1:30 minutes :D

[vicarious70]

1 hour 30 minutes, wow your good, lol. I was sure it took at least a couple of days.

[funkeymonkey22003]

lol it would take me a life time wow excellent job Shrewsbury

this is where my house building starts and ends
It is a Maxis house (from AL)
I put on the stone cladding and attached the wall torches

Shrewsbury, that looks like it took a lot of work to build, it is very nice!
FunkeyMonkey, it has a nice essence to it. The color scheme is an excellent choice.

I haven't furnished the apartments fully, just the basics... is there anything else I should do? I'm thinking about uploading it.

[Tyler_SC]

Very cool. Will they function like apartments? :)

[fway]

Yes, if you have Apartment Life they will. I used Numenor's AnygameStarter, by the way, so the only EP you would need is Apartment Life. :)

There's only very little CC, I forgot to add. I used MayLin's traditional doors, pfish's invisible fence for the apartment deck trick, and the "Matte and Glass" recolor in black, I don't remember who made it though... :/

ETA: I am going to upload this as a residential lot because of the problems people have with the cheat already being implimented. (Hence the residential mailbox showing instead of the apartment one)

Thank you fway I love your duplex ~looks like real life!
Izzy that house you are working on is so lovely, those trees just round it off.

I felt so bad, about not doing my own house, I went away just now and did one!
still haven't moved very far away from the (box~like~phenomenon) but this is a private holiday home, with a private beach (they can swim in the waves :)
Try to ignore the little bus shelter facing the beach...instead of the road ha,ha,ha.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v700/funkeymonkey22003/Houses/Prvt.jpg
ooh yes, and private heli~pad, whatever I cannot have, my sims get in a big way!

[jenba]

fway - Nice duplex! Er, I guess it's a fourplex, from looking at the floor plans. I really like the layout of the apartments! It's not too far off from the building I live in, actually. Coolness.

Izzy - I love that house! I bet it's really cute on the inside, too. I like the pool hidden in the trees.

funkeymonkey - Hey, might as well go all out for your Sims, right? Heh. Cute house, love the blue roof!

[occhoppersnb_SC]

Beatdoc: i love the modern starter. its the size house i tend to love building. i too struggle with modern style it's not my cup of tea so it's tough for me to build em and not nit pick every tiny flaw,lol. mind if i ask the lot size on it? I'm guessing 1x2? and as for the others....i may kidnap you and force you to build lots for me all day long,lol. you have a fantastic flair for it,if i may say so.
Izzy: that duplex is grand. mind if i move in? lol


to anyone i missed ( i was going pretty fast) all the houses here are rockin' makes me wish i had time to fire up my game and get to building myself!

Eventually I plan to have all my homes up for download on my livejournal , only a couple there now though, but give it time :P

Nice houses to everyone else. I get really inspired when lookign through this thread.

[beatdoc16]

Thankyou everybody! I've put the apartments (there are 6 units) up for download on my livejournal (see sig). The spare house should go up in the next week or so. I am contemplating trying to get these accepted at MTS2 to reach a wider audience but we'll see.

when will they be up for download? ;)

fway - Those windows are looking awesome! And those 2 little houses are so cute together!

[Night Racer]

Beat: GAH! *ANOTHER* one of your houses that i want! and i like how you kept it mostly maxis to... looks awsome.
and about uploading it: ill have to finish the backyard...then maybe either ill package it fully furnished or ill de-furnishize it and add starter stuff then package it...which whould you like?

[beatdoc16]

Thanks! I pretty much wiped all my dl recently and have been v.slow building them back up. Only have walls, floors and some build/plant items. I'm trying to time a few house uploads with my legacy (sorry!) but that house will definently be going up in the near future.

As for yours, I don't mind either way. If the way you have it furnished is like in those shots then by all means keep it that way!

[I.nfectious_SC]

Thank you beatdoc16, I've been fighting with my computer, when backing up my neighborhood, I had to recover my computer, luckily, all of my mesh files, etc. were saved, but not the neighborhood and the lots. I have to redownload SimPE and hope that my neighborhood gets backed up, because if I re-install the game (since the recovery disk un-installed my games), you can say goodbye to the Wartons for a while. Alas, I can move on, though.

tizerist_ That totally looks like a real city out of the doors. The little farm area is awesome too.
coldfloral I so want to build houses of hills now! I love the roofline of that house and the exterior wallpaper.

I took time out of my legacy to build some more houses. I'm thinking about uploading these once I furnish them, and might make a single rowhouse version for those without Apartment Life. :P

Half of the house is "public" meaning anyone can go to it...but the residential quarters are only accessible through the bookcase door. Yay for putting all the electronics where my simmies can't go!

The landscaping on that container house is amazing!

[i saw drones]

that container house looks freakin awesome and much better then my lame attempt at that same concept!

thanks mate! I'm really super stoked with how it turned out :)

lmfjaxxon & others: thank you!

BeatDoc, I'm a new fan of your homes and Legacy:D...love them!

Wow shrewsbury, Bazaar looks magnificent.

[babolat85]

Shrewsbury - It looks good, I tried to built a huge integrated place like that and gave up only 20 minutes in.
Tyler - That siding looks good.

Babolat... very realistic and suburban. I love the chimney.
dude... so cute and homey!

I'm not quite sure I like this one, but... I thought I'd share anyway. :P

(It probably looks really crap to everyone but i haven't really attempted house making before.)

[Night Racer]

i haven't really attempted house making before.

for somone who hnasnt really built a hoiuse before...that is awsome! i remember my first house...dfhsdehbnseh....IT WAS HUGE...maybee ill try to re produce it one day and post pics LMAO

[kustirider2]

Thank you Night Racer! I had so much fun building it :)

[Charley-x]

Duderocks: Aww i really like it!
Dasie: I like that house, it's diffrent.
Kustirider: I love the little yellow windows.

Here's a trailer I threw together for my contest sim, it's nothing good but I like it for some strange reason. I'm not sure if I like the white fence though.

kustirider2:
Wow! It looks fantastic. :) I love the pool shape and the yellow shutters and door.

[beatdoc16]

A house inspired by Beatdoc :P.

Really! Wow, thanks! It looks fantastic. My houses started off as boxes, so I'm jealous that this is how great your houses look when you haven't even attempted building before :D

Shrewsbury333 - can I just say, all your buildings fill me with awe. Great job!
Daisie - It's quaint, it's kooky, I love it!
duderocks - when can I move in? :D
Babolat - Yet another lot of yours that I love!
Tyler - I really like the idea of the indoor greenhouse too. So much so I think I might have to steal it :P

[Kusama]

I thought this one would look nice, but now I'm not so sure about it...

kasuma: hhm...id downlaod that if i saw it at mts2...i might do some slight remodeling...but the shape is good...i like it

[Tyler_SC]

Thanks, beatdoc16. Feel free to steal it...it's extremely useful and keeps pesky neighbors out of it.

Kasuma, that house has a very nice shape! I'd suggest playing with the roof a little more and maybe the siding. You have wonderful landscaping though!

[Kusama]

Thanks guys... I'll try to improve it :D But how can I put a roof and then windows above it? I always struggle for it. MoveObjects doesn't help, maybe there is some another cheat?

[JsMommy08]

Thanks guys... I'll try to improve it :D But how can I put a roof and then windows above it? I always struggle for it. MoveObjects doesn't help, maybe there is some another cheat?

Actually, Kusama, I found a tutorial for just this the other day! You have to be registered at The Sims Resource (I'm registered for free) but it's really worth a look: http://fsc.thesimsresource.com/articles/679686.pdf

Hope I could help!

[Kusama]

So there's a tutorial? Ok, thanks, I'll try it, though i dislike registering, but thanks again!

[SalixTree]

Babolat, where did you get that neato chevy? I downloaded your lot, and that car is just asking to be in the driveway! ;-)

[beatdoc16]

I had no idea where to put this, but I figured it was more a house than a buisness. I needed somewhere to put my townie young adults so I made them this - LilyRose Dorms.

http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp101/beatdoc16/Homes/ex3.jpg
Not sure if I like it yet... (and woops, I just noticed the front door was botched. Please ignore :D)

Petchy - What a cool makeover, I really like the use of black and white too!
Kusama - I like it! The back roof looks awesome, so your almost there, wish I had a tutorial to suggest. PS that garden is very cool.

[kustirider2]

Ooh Pretty Beatdoc! I never could think of a reason to use those windows :)

[Kusama]

Thanks, Beatdoc! But I should say that I've copied the garden idea from Babolat...

[Tyler_SC]

I think I'm inlove with both of those barns!

[beatdoc16]

I just love your barns Infectious and angel f, they're really great!

So somehow I got it into my head that I wanted to create a collection of mini starter-homes (who knows why!)

[jenniferrsg]

oooh, beatdoc.. are you planning on putting those up for download? they're gorgeous and perfect. I can never find the right homes for my Sims (and I'm no good at building, it always turns out bad!)

Most I find are too big or too small. those look perfect :o

[[Telectual]]

Damn, I am in love with the first house, beatdoc16. It's the cutest thing. I hope you put it up for download somewhere.

[fway]

Beatdoc those homes are giving me three different feelings right now.

1st one - Wishing winter wouldn't come so quick.
2nd one - Wishing spring would come.
3rd one - Scratch the first feeling, I wish winter would come faster!

1 Stratton Avenue - Squirrel eye view.

[jenny]

Beatdoc, those are great starter homes! love them:)

[beatdoc16]

Thanks everyone!

Telectual and jenniferrsg, these 3 along with 3 others are in the moderation queue at MTS2, but because I got all noob-like and ambitious and decided to put them all in the one post I anticipate I might need to change something.

Fway - eeee! I love the 'Squirrel eye view' such a cool shot!

[SalixTree]

Beatdoc, those are adorable little houses! I like the woodsy one lots.
*waiting eagerly for the download*

[bopashu2]

beatdoc I love those starter houses.

[Bree2kool8]

beatdoc, you are my new favorite house creator!!! your homes are popping up everywhere in my hood!

[beatdoc16]

beatdoc, you are my new favorite house creator!!! your homes are popping up everywhere in my hood!
Eeee! I'm so flattered, I'm glad you like my homes :D

[cmserene]

There are so many talented builders on here!!!

Here's one of my faves. I posted this house before but have since remodeled a bit AND learned how to use the cameraman mode so of course now I can get much better pics :o)

This is my Veronaville mogul's house and business. 1st floor is living space; 2nd floor is the customer's buffet, coffee counter, spa and bathrooms; and the 3rd floor is the "bedroom", thanks to LLove's beds ;o)

Hope you like!

[longdaysend]

These houses all rock so hard! great work guys :)

this is just something i've spent all of tonight working on. it's not done yet, landscaping needs done and some fencing and such but so far...

[jenniferrsg]

I'll have to go find your houses, beatdoc, I looove them. Not too big, not too small. Just right. :)

longdaysend, that house is so pretty. I love the color and it's huge but looks so nice.

[longdaysend]

thanks Jennifer, it's not as big as it seems the 3rd floor is quite small and mostly to make the exterior look right. I've been staring at this house in my game for 2 hours now and I'm stumped on the landscaping...bah! I do better with little lots :)

Edited to add: Preview of a lot in the queue as we speak :) not much to look at but i like her..

[Daisie]

beatdoc, I am loving your stuff lately. The Dane and The Gossip are my favorites. The Gossip has the perfect name, too.
longdaysend... Ooh, very pretty garden. I love how you mixed the different kinds of flower bushes.
cmserene, I love the little sitting/sunroom inside the greenhouse. Very creative.

[treejen]

coldfloral: I love that house! Very cool with the different levels.
i saw drones: Beautiful container house :)
duderocks: That house is sooo cute!
I.nfectious: That barn cottage is really neat and different!
beatdoc16: I don't even know where to start, all of your homes are so simple yet so attractive!
longdaysend: Nice house, love that little garden!

treej & bP - I love both of them! The cabin reminds me of one I built not to long ago!

[Izzy]

Love that beach house Tyler!
and boolpropped great cabin!

[lmfjaxxon]

Fabulous lots everyone. I hope to post mine soon'ish but I have to build more :D.

[Shrewsbury333_SC]

:| "La casa puertos borde"? :einstein













Beautifull :D ;)

[Dozo_SC]

You all have such wonderful houses. Do you base them on real ones?
I also wondered how you chose the colours for them.

[beatdoc16]

Boolpropped - That cabin looks absolutly perfect - simple and woodsy. The interior shots look fantastic too, I've always loved the way you build & decorate (and I'll admit to attempting to copy it many a time :D)
Tyler - That's a great beach house! I love how the beach slopes down to the water, and is that a halmock I spy?
Treejen - That house is so cute, it reminds me of something out of a storybook.
longdaysend - I hope you figured out that landscaping because even without it, that house looks great! I'm liking the second one too especially how you've mixed the blue windows with the brown sliding.

[Tyler_SC]

:| "La casa puertos borde"? :einstein

Hehe, supposed to mean Harbors Edge...though I couldn't think of a translation, I kinda winged it.

Thanks everyone! ^.^
