How many stories do you have? The pictures look like it's huge 
I'm struggling to come up with a decent color for my farm house. Red = lame, I used blue on 2 of my houses already, yellow and green looks silly

KAOS! I want your house! Upload it please. :0)
lol.... that R3 house of mine.. I ran out of time... so many errors in the photos and the roof. AND, I left an artifact on the back lawn and didn't even realize it until I was taking pictures. lol... Too late to fix that. I wouldn't have won anyway. That lot has CC.
TALKING about CC.. this contest makes me realize that if I want custom stuff for my game, I better get busy and make it. :D
I went and did a dumb thing.. Without thinking about it, I 'opened' that foundation4 lot and it opened the EA launcher and of course, that locked up and choked and refused to install.
I forgot to unpack it with Delphy's unpacker and Grant's launcher and it borked! I have to fix that.

I can try to upload before I go on a two week holiday on Monday! Need to re-do some rooms and make it a bit better if I'm gonna upload. That + make this R4 house in time! 
Think you should just copy it and spare yourself the agony of getting that launcer to work correctly

Is there anyone who know any store item that fits the long narrow windows that came with ambitions? The classic looking ones

I'm thinking of doing a little country pub for this round but
I have a niggling feeling that it's been done before, though I could just be thinking of something I've seen in downloads. Can anybody remember someone doing a pub in this contest? I just wanna make sure that if I do have the same idea as someone else, I don't do the exact same thing
PS There are loads of houses on here for R3 and R4 that I have loved but the last few days I have only had time to have a quick look on here before I have to run off to build so I haven't taken the time to give individual comments/feedback...it doesn't mean I don't like your house, I'm just in a hurry to catch up with everyone else
Oh, and Bgatot, thanks but I really think you're being too kind

I can't remember any pubs being made. Only hotels with restaurants/bars in

Finding it tricky to take pictures of this house in the front/back as it's so small and in the middle without losing much of the garden in the picture

I'm going a little out of my comfort zone this round and trying to make a small castle. I have never attempted this before, and I don't have World Adventures (which has stuff I could use). I have built it up and torn it down 3 times, but I am finally happy with the exterior. The interior is going to take a bit. I imagine I probably won't have it ready to post for two more days.
The quiet is making me nervous as well. There are some great builders out there who haven't made a peep. I think everybody is planning to go out with a bang!

Oohhh, I agree! I am thinking of placing the foundation and building something completely different. Except, for the most part I like what I have.

I sort of found out what it is. And probably is a result of CFE
When attempting to cover the ceiling of my shed, it like bugged and disappeared, and then appeared as a wall elsewhere. I managed to get it away by deleting the tiles in question and moving the lot to another place

Don't talk to me about CFE - what a nightmare (see arch lol).
Still have some last touches to do but nearly there so thought I'd get some feedback. The Gatehouse is as you'd imagine the gatehouse of an old castle. Behind the castle you can see where the drawbridge would have crossed the remains of the moat and there are some castle ruins behind it. The home is set in our time but the decor is still very old fashioned. I'm happy that the gatehouse is authentic and there is even an authentic style Medieval garden (Google is my best friend this week)!

I tried to go with something local this time - I've always thought these gatehouses would make great but small homes. The one marked 'Triumphal Arch' on the collage is actually expensive holiday accomodation!
I have a series of buildings in my head to do when I've finished this so maybe I could use it later...

Sandymdh, Im sure I recognise at least one of those gatehouses in your montage as being very close to where I live...
This one is about 20 mins walk from my home and I pause each time I pass it because it just 'ooozes' history and age - probably because it was built in 15th Century!
