Firstly let me say, as yet your world is looking absolutely beautiful!!! I am doubtful many wouldn't want to download it!  On another note, how do you get the lots to fit perfectly against the roads/sidewalks etc..? this is something I am having difficulty with, and I'm curious as to whether or not I'm missing a basic tool or something. |

Heaven, your world is coming along very nicely  it has been interesting to follow the process.Right now i don't have any suggestions, as we have already discussed this world of yours over chat. I just wanted to let the world know you are doing a wonderful job with this :D SpacyCheese, you can turn the grid on at CAW to line the lots to roads. The grid can be activated on top toolbar, and when active, rotate on the bottom of the CAW screen. |

Kimia no Tama - I definitely agree with you about the valley. I will have to look again and see if I can though. Somewhere around there is the line marking the end of the world and the start of the distant terrain. I have been using pictures from Riverview to try to match roundabout placements of trees. But that's definitely a good suggestion. There is one house that is kinda out in the middle of nowhere, which, if I can start building up the town that is where the "witch" is going to live. She's not really a witch, just a lonely, shy, widow who doesn't venture out. Houses 9 and 10 will be older, more shabby homes as well as the farm to the right of there that you cannot see. Are you thinking there should be more? And SpacyCheese - armiel is exactly right. I turn the grid on for my roads and lots. Almost every single road that has lots on it, is a straight road that, if it has a curve in it, it comes right after the house. It took me awhile to get really good at lining them up though. And thanks armiel!!! I'm hoping to get some more work done this weekend so I have updates next time I see you! |

Just a few more picture updates. I haven't had much of time to work on anything but I've been in and out of lots, trying to get some things built. First is the park: It is located within the starter home circle. Excuse my spawners. Second is a decrepit barn: it's a starter but the interior is mostly junk with the necessities for survival (kitchen, bathroom, bed, couch, bookcase). |

Okay, so here is the latest house I am working on. It is based off of a friend's house. It is a split level in every sense of the word! It has 4 levels, 2 technical stories. It has 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, although (in real life too although one of the baths is a storage closet in real life), one of the beds has been converted into a playroom. The house has no wall coverings, basically nothing has been CASTed, there aren't even doors besides the exterior ones. It is getting there though but I was ready to share it today. |

Okay, here is another update. I'm including some pictures of my starters. I am having issues attaching files so I am using image tags instead.. Also, thanks to some feedback in the #create room, I have updated the park a bit. Thanks guys! |

Okay, it has been forever since I updated. I wanted everyone to know that I have not abandoned this project. I have been working on the upper middle class neighborhood and, due to my love of the houses in Desperate Housewives, I decided the homes on Wisteria Lane would be a perfect addition. These WILL NOT be perfect replicas nor will the world include the families of the Lane. I have 5 of 9 homes done so far and just wanted to share my progress since it has been awhile. They are all work in progresses and the interior on all of them is pretty much non-existent. I am working in the shells first and then will go back to the rooms and furnishings. |

Okay, so I got one more done. Well, done in relative terms. Again, there is still landscaping, interior design, and furnishing to be done, just like with the rest. |

Heaven sent 18 Its really good to see river view remade for night life. Have gone through the whole post and must say that am impressed with your work so far. My only suggestion for now is to continue doing what you are doing cos this world is becoming so interesting. It was great of you recreating the town from scratch and you did justice to it. keep it up |

So, I have recently been working on a nectary. It is not near finished yet but the shell is getting there (this seems to be a pattern with me, probably because I hate the interior design aspect). As this is the first nectary I have ever built, I was hoping to get some feedback. |

The nectary, as it exists so far, looks pretty nice. But I have a question. Is it actually intended to be used as a nectary, or just a very fancy residence? I'm asking this question due to the use of the electronic gate. Would it prevent Sims from entering, or will it allow any Sim when used on a community lot? I've never tested this, since in practice I don't use that gate. |

That's a good question. Not only not having built a nectary before, I have also not used the gate. I'll have to test and find out. Maybe it will just end up being a private residence. |

I noticed a couple of things from a few posts back that I don't think anyone has mentioned. The bright yellow Desperate Housewives house has an extra bit of fence sticking out at one side (attached a pic.) And all of the garages have distorted siding because of the constrain floor cheat (attached a pic) - could you perhaps cover it with some plants, like the cast iron frame with flowers or one of the big bushes with flowers? Or could you just place the garage door with move objects and not have to alter the walls? I really, really love these houses! They match, but all have their own character too. Looking forward to seeing more.

Doing that creates a very ugly effect. The distorted walls to the sides look much better by comparison. It's better to use the "Flat Wall" wall covering (under Paint) or to use plants and decor to cover the distorted area. |

Sleepalldaypartyallnight - Thanks for pointing out the fence! I hadn't noticed it but have since fixed it. As for the garages, I agree with BenCo722 about making the garages level which makes things rather unsightly. However, I also do not intend to use a flat wall either. I will try to cover it as best I can but, honestly, I am okay with having some distorted walls. It's not a huge deal and is just a permanent side effect of CFE. Because of how the garages are attached in the real homes, switching to flat wall would throw off the patterns of the rest of the house so we'll just have to live with it!  Now...I know it has been forever since I posted but, until yesterday, I have been crazy busy. I've gone through a building frenzy and am going to post a ton of pictures of what I have been working on. Keep in mind that this follows the pattern of the my other lots (exterior is built but no landscaping, no interior). I got a lot of my inspiration from doll houses! Obviously, that might affect the shape of the house (since there is always a side open) but I used my imagination to fill it in so these are not exact replicas. I also have some other homes as well: |

Got one more house done! The image was hard to get since I don't have access to tab being only in EIG and there are trees in the way so it's not the best on angling. I'll try and get a better one a little later. |

So I redid parts of Shadowcliff to make the outside look a bit nicer. I also started working on the interior. You can at least see the layout here. It also has an attic and a basement (as do all the Victorian dollhouse homes shown above). As a bonus, the foyer is done! |
