thank you!

This is a great job for a first upload. I really like the high lattice with the pool underneath; it's very authentic looking.

Thank you Lizzie!

And yes, this house is built on a beach lot and it comes with a private beach. I made this house for Twikkii Island and sims that live in this house have no problem swimming in it's sea

Oh, I missed your post while I was typing an answer blitzgal. Thank you! Glad you liked my house

Don't forget me, Smyrnaion I like your house very much, too. You got five stars from me! Thanks!

See, I'm not forgetting you Ellesmera Glad you liked!

Wow I love this!

How did you do the lattice walls? I have lattice fences and things in my game but I have no idea how to build a house over it or anything like that. Can you point in the direction of a tutorial or something you used to make that? Thanks.

This is awsome man and GREAT for a first upload!

It is beautiful, thanks!!!

Thank you so much for your comments, everybody! I really appreciate it

LadyAya, I don't know if there's a tutorial for that but here's what I did:

First of all, let me say that it's Reyn's lattice fences from "Poch Build Set" that allowed me to build the house this way. They are greatly useful and I don't know if other lattice fences etc. work the same way.

First I placed the lattice fences to draw the outline of the house, then placed the floor tiles one by one as more room for them opened with each tile I placed. However, when at some point the game refused to allow me to place more tiles because there was nothing underneath (or near it) to support it, I had to place some colums to enable placing tiles. The said colums can be seen in the middle of the pool btw.

Hope this is useful to you

I am amazed! Most peoples first house uploads are rather, awful. I'm impressed that this is so good for a first upload AND its the first house you ever built! My first house back in Sims 1 was something terrible, I, like a lot of simmers, didn't understand the scale at first.
Congratulations. This is just lovely.

Lovely! Hope you will upload more houses for us to share.
Thank you :-)

A lovely beach house and a beautiful landscaping! Thanks,

Nice house and nice name for it

It is a very gorgeous home, I can't wait to put my sims in it!

Thank you everybody, your comments are very important to me

And Phaenoh, thank you too for your encouraging comment. Ah yes, those first houses.. Yes, actually I tried my hand at making a house when I first had this game but after placing about, I don't know, 3 walls maybe, I had given up. Too bored to go any further Since then this is the first time I ever tried to build something and I'm so glad it gets such good comments. Thanks again!

Ummm... I had kind of a problem when I uploaded this house to my game. Everytime I tried to go to the house to edit it or move a family in, my game kept crashing. When I got rid of the house the game was fine. Am I the only one who had this problem?

cupcake28, thanks for reporting this problem. Seeing that you have all the required EPs and did not report anything flashing blue (oh, those are kinda my biggest fear about this lot. I hope I'm right when I assume there's nothing flashing blue?) I thought it might be about terrain level and moved the house to another place on the same beach... and there, my game crashed too.

Then I tried to enter the house a couple of times and it stubbornly crashed my game a couple of times but on my third try, it worked and I was able to go to the house without my game crashing. This is annoying... I think it really has to do with the slightly different terrain level although I'm not an expert about these stuff.

Now, even though I can enter the lot, the beach part of the house is not what it should be. The chairs I placed there for example are half bured in the sand.

But when I move the house back to place where I built it, everything's fine. And that place is right in front of that empty starter vacation home. ("brickstone retreat" I guess) I attached the image below.

Could you please place the house there and try to enter it again? I'd really appreciate it if you report the result back. Thank you and hope this time it works.

I'm going to try this. Thank you very much.

This is beautiful! Thanks!

This vacation house is perfect
I did a little modification such that it fits in 4 sims with 2 guest rooms. The beach is so beautiful!! Thanks a lot

wow! this is really good
thanks so much! my sims are gonna LOVE it!

thanks ja
