    Arryndale Manor is such a very detailed luxury home! :) It looks so very great! You have reflected the real life inspiration home and the pictures of the real life rooms so very well! The exterior of the building, the outdoors areas, and the layout and furnishing of each level of the home looks so very nice! Very nice design and colour schemes of the bedrooms! It is great that there are 9 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms in the home! It was very nice looking at the pictures showcase of the build. The home would have involved such a lot of time and work!
    It is a very grand and special luxury home for sims to enjoy living in! :)

    Thank you so much Rose! You're always the first one to comment when I post a new build. You are so sweet!

    Arryndale Manor is Gorgeous! You did a fabulous job at recreating the original home and inspiration pics! Going to have to DL it so I can wander thru it all! Well done! :)

    Thanks Rox! You might need to put on some good shoes to take a walk around that place! LOL

    Oh my goodness! That manor is amazing! I love the theatre and the outdoor patio with the fireplace and the pool area... well, frankly it's all just beautiful!

    Aww, you're so sweet @creativemetaphor! Thanks for stopping by and for the nice comments!
  • SandraelleSandraelle Posts: 6,146 Member
    @Sandraelle Look at all those beautiful sitting rooms and televisions LOL!

    Wow. Just Wow. It's absolutely stunning!!! You have by far exceeded my expectations! I can't wait to load my game up so I can look at it up close and personal! I'll give you a more detailed response after I see it if you'd like. :)

    Thank you once again!

    @aaron0haaron , Well I don't think your huge family will ever run out of places to sit and relax (or watch TV!), lol.

    You are very welcome, and I'm so happy that you're pleased with it. And yes, I would like to hear more from you after you've gone through the house. Enjoy!

    The San Mateo is lovely Sandy. It oozes relaxed and comfortable living and such interesting roof lines. Very happy you got a chance to finish this build. Such a great series :smiley:

    Gorgeous! I love all the slabs you have in the yard! Looks all clean and crisp! But now I'm going to have to wait until I get my game all reinstalled to see how you did the sink in the purple bath! LOL
  • rosemowrosemow Posts: 163,521 Member
    The San Mateo is a very nice home! :) Very nice exterior design of home! The roofing design looks great! The oranges flowers in the brick squares in the front area of the home looks very pretty! Very nice design of the outdoors areas! The way that you have designed the pool patio, fire pit area and hot tub area looks very nice! Very nice furnishing of the interior! Each room looks very nice. The wall decor pictures on the music room wall gives a very nice look to the room. Sims will enjoy relaxing on the sofas or armchair near the fire, listening to the piano music. Very nice purple and white , and blue and white, colour schemes of the bedrooms and bathrooms. They look very effective!
    It is a very home to complement very well with the other two homes :)

    @soocoolsim , thanks so much. I hope the roofing looks ok....they had a lot of those butterfly style roofs in that era, lol.

    @romagi1 , thank you! The sinks work, but it only looks aesthetically nice because both sink and dresser is white, otherwise the sink won't look right if the dresser was a diferrent color, lol.

    Sandy, Aspen Meadows is perfect! I love the contrasting textures of this home as well as the architecture. The beautiful landscaping sets this home off so nicely. That winter shot looks so peaceful and pretty. Haven't played the game in so long I forgot how beautiful the winters are. Well done. <3 Rec'd :smiley:

    Aspen Meadows is a very nice rustic log home! :) The exterior of the build looks very nice! Very nice design and layout of the build! The trees through the outdoors areas look very nice! It is nice that there is a pond and a herb garden in the build. Very nice layout of the interior of the home! Simmers will enjoy downloading the home and furnishing it to suit their sims needs and interests, It looks so very pretty in Wintertime! :)

    Thanks so much Paula! Yes, I don't ever have winter enabled, nor the weather options unless I need it. And it was cool to see the snow for a change! I thought since it was a log home that it was fitting for this time of year, lol.

    @rosemow, thank you so much! It's not very often that I don't furnish a whole house, so this was different for me, lol.

    @Storietime, you're welcome, I'm so glad that you like it! I would love to see pics of the house after you get it all furnished. It's always nice to see what others do with the decor. :)

    Hello, @Sandraelle!

    I hope this holiday season is treating you well! I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. I have been super busy!

    I finally had some time to look at the house and wow wow wow! I actually looked at it quite a few times so I could take in everything and I always saw something I missed the time before. Here are a few thoughts.

    - The first thing I noticed was the red mailbox. There isn’t a lot of red in the house and it happens to be my favorite color so I love that little touch.
    - The landscaping is beautiful! I was a tad bit worried when you said you would put in some trees along the fence since the inspo house had lots of trees around, but you didn’t overkill it and the trees/flowers in the beds around the house and garage aren’t close enough to cut through the walls which is always a plus.
    - Thank you for putting in the playground area even though there aren’t any children in the house currently. I’m sure the slip n slide will be used.
    - I love the bird bath in the flower bed by the playground area. It reminds me of my childhood home. :)
    - I’m really glad you were able to fit the basketball court in since there’s only so much space due to game limitations.
    - I love the ramada/outdoor cooking & seating area. It will be very useful during the summer and for Leisure Day parties.
    - I love all the colors, interior and exterior.
    - The teen’s bedrooms are absolutely wonderful! You managed to capture their personalities perfectly.
    - All the sitting rooms are different and beautifully furnished which was probably a challenge within itself since there are so many.
    - I could go room by room and list every single thing I like about it, but I won’t because we would be here for a while.
    - I only changed one thing and that was the grill in the basement. I replaced it with the wood fire oven.

    I still can’t believe you built this house with only inspiration pictures and an outline of a floor plan. That is talent!

    You met every one of my requests. You by far exceeded my expectations. In other words, Arynndale Manor is a masterpiece! It was an honor and a pleasure working with you to make this house come to life (even though you did all the real work)!! Thank you once again for taking the time to build it.
  • SandraelleSandraelle Posts: 6,146 Member
    @aaron0haaron , you are very welcome and oh my, thank you so much for your detailed and glowing comments about the house! I'm so glad that you liked everything once you had a chance to look around. And hits myself on the forehead! :s I completely forgot about using the pizza oven rather than that grill in the basement kitchen, duh! That is a much better choice indeed. Enjoy the house and feel free to post in game pics of your sim family in the house. :)

    Oooh your Palm Lake Series homes are absolutely Gorgeous! Love the burnt orange and purple in living room of The Ventura. Love the floor plan and the awesome backyard. So beautifully landscaped!

    The San Jacinto's landscaping and yard are just as Gorgeous as The Ventura. Another lovely floor plan and I adore the kids rooms, especially the sweet pink girls room. So Pretty!

    I think The San Mateo is my favorite of the three. I Love the roof lines. Another fabulous back yard with gorgeous landscaping. :blush:

    Love the design for Aspen Meadows. The pics of it with the snow are Gorgeous! I really wish we had Season's in S4... It was always my favorite pack, with any of the Sims games. Love the barn out back too. :smile:

    Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :blush:<3
