Whoah, a lot of contestants have entered their entries, and so many are just amazing! Fyendiar's, Gail.wyness', Sulyuki's, Feldynn's, and so many others. Man, I don't even know if I should bother entering mine... Oh well, the thing's fully built already, so might as well. I'm gonna make some last minute touch-ups and upload it here before it's too late!
Sulyuki, if that's what you can build when you don't know what you're doing, then I'm very, very afraid of what you might build when you do know what you're doing!

Wonderful entries everyone!
I've not got mine done yet. In fact I only really started yesterday and am still making stuff up as I go along. Hopefully I will get it in by the end of today.

Ah don't get your hopes up :/
(Edit: Half my post didn't show up for some reason
)
I'm not one who comes up with fancy cool themes, just build everyday sims houses. But I'm really glad you like them both
I'll post it up tomorrow I think.

The Villa lies in a quiet and popular zone but also near to the downtown.
In my game this building is home of the private study of Jerome Stone, a private investigator and it's designed for a single or a couple.
Ground floor: entrance hall with large open spaces and living room (very comfortable place when at the end of the day J. Stone finally sit in front of the TV and the fire is warming the night), kitchen with another fireplace, bathroom). The study has its own entrance.
Upstairs: bedroom with fireplace (another very warm room, expecially when J. Stone has someone spending the time together ... playing guitar, what did you think?), large bathroom and stairs to the fitness room (and I can't believe how cool it is!)
Lovely pool built a level down from the garden, with a relaxing area. Another conversation area in the meadow.
Stone balconies all over the house.
Alarms in discrete points.
NO CCs, only Store contents, mostly free.
... I will enjoy this hours of testing before starting the R4.

A long long time ago, a partially (or totally, no one really knows) insane inventor lived in this large, Florentine mansion. After causing much trouble to Sunset Vally (including making it rain chocolate) the inventor strangely vanished one day, leaving behind his house, his work, and about 200,000 similions worth of the finest nectar. It's still a complete mystery where he went off to, but the strange, deep hole in the middle of the rose garden has nothing to do with it, of course not. nope. no chance. Believing the inventor dead, the Sunset Vally Council of Llamas made the executive decision to fix up the house and re-sell it. After removing a few dangerous inventions and the 76 pounds of jelly beans that were found in the sofa, this mansion is up for sale to any sim who has enough money. Fully furnished, It costs 209,040 similions (not counting the collection of fine nectar) This house has three bedrooms and three full bathrooms, a large rose garden, open-air walkway, fine dining room, large kitchen, observatory, art room, and inventing corner.

comments: Wow. This was one fun house to make. I've never built in this style before, and it was quite the learning experience! My favorite part of this house is the roof. Definitely the awesome-sauce roof, which is how the house got its name Squash. Because the roof reminds me of squash. Kind of silly, but true. Squash. I like that word
I'm so glad I got this done in time! (I was stressing out about it all night -.-) Everyone else's houses look awesome! I have some tough competition here! Good luck everyone!

Welcome to the Cielo Bello Villa!
This home was built in 1842 by an Italian Architect named Antonio Valente. He was inspired by many different types of architectures and villas from Rome and Spain. He was into Gods and Goddesses especially of water, so you'll notice many statues along the house. The house is filled with warm brown colors and decorated lavishly. There are tons of flowers and plants planted along the house to give it a tropical and warm feel. You'll be stunned and amazed when you pull up to the house to see its beauty.

However, in this changed when in 1958, when Charles and Marilyn Grimblepennny took the challenge of renovating the house. The main living space had to be almost entirely rebuilt, save the chimney, whose fireplace is now blocked up, and the belfry which is no longer accessible. The chapel and it's adjoining rooms (which were converted to a guest suite), as well as what is now the laundry room at the back didn't need restoration and so remained as they were when they were first built.
Features:
-Living Room
-Kitchen
-Dining Room
-Study
-Master Bedroom
-Two other bedrooms
-Two main bathrooms
-Lowered walkway
-Chapel
-Graveyard (can't be seen too well in the screenshots but it's there)
-Pond (with bridge)

Wonderful job, Cloudburst. I am fairly salivating over the curtains you used. Where'd you get them? They're not part of the game or its expansions, so did they come from the store?

Thanks for replying! Now I'm in a conundrum, because I hate buying from the store, but I do so like those curtains.

It seems a lot of folks are having trouble with this round - personal stuff, frustration with their entries - I'm not sure it hits the "20% asking for an extension" that I put forth initially but... I don't think many people would have a huge fit if we extended this round by 24 hours, would they?

Yeah, I've been having so much trouble with this round and I'm not even busy like everyone else seems to be. I've got the shell and have just started the interior decorating, but I've barely begun CAST-ing everything and I have absolutely not exterior landscaping. It's definitely been a lot more stressful this round.
I know that I, at least, would appreciate the extra time, HP, but I don't feel exactly right taking it since there have been plenty of people who were able to work within the time limit, even with obstacles.

Well, I'm fine with giving an extension. I've been sick and not really on the computer very much, comparatively, the past few days - an extra day would give me time to feel better before the next round rush, and time for you guys to finish up your stuff. I still have a few judge comments I need to send out - I'll do those ASAP (I gotta go to bed though, my head hurts). +24 hours! (no i haven't changed the countdown, i'll do that in the morning too)

Same. I get the feeling in 11 hours time I will desperately want the extension though

Edit: beat me to it
