Hiya @soocoolsim thanks for the speedy snap up of my request!
The sim looks incredible, you certainly work fast, and I love her. So feel free to move on to the kitty, I look forward to seeing how you work with that one too. I have heaps of trouble with making cats look the way that I want them to in The Sims 3, so it's great to put that job on someone else hehehe.
LOL and thanks @StutteredScreams . OK here's what I've done with your kitty. I've never CAS'd a cat before so this was an interesting challenge while I experimented with layers. I'm not sure if I'm close to the eye colour you wanted. Do feel free to post an RGB value if you like. Thoughts?

@soocoolsim The cat is almost perfect, I'm really surprised this is your first one, I think she looks amazing!
I think my only changes would be to make her colour tones a little warmer, maybe adding a little more yellow to the cream colour. So if you could have a bit of a play and see what you think works to make this change, that would be swell.
Also maybe make the chest a little fluffier, if that's possible, not sure on what the max fluffiness looks like haha.
As for the eyes I think if we make the colour ever so slightly more purple it will be exactly as I'd envisioned; you've really done a fantastic job!
Let me know if any of these are impossible or make you unhappy in any way, but as requested I'm trying to be upfront with my ideas. Even though I would be happy to take her as is, it's grants you even more practice in your cat skills.

Thanks @StutteredScreams , got a bit more practice in today, lol. So... any closer now? I made her coat creamer and made the eyes more purple. The lighting in CAS for pets is not as good as for sims so I increased the exposure in the screenshots a bit. The fluffiness is already on max. What do you think?

She's absolutely perfect @soocoolsim ! Everything I could have ever hoped for; I love it!
You totally nailed it, shame we can't have the real kitty's over-the-top fluffiness in Sims haha, but even with out it she looks as fancy as can be.
I can't wait to have her and Anya in my game, thanks so much for all your hard work!
Hey @socoolsim thank you again ^_^, just checking in with you
Hi @Kylieb191 , thank you for checking in so promptly. I've laid out the floor plan on a 40x40 lot... bigger than you anticipated but hopefully this works for you. Please see here for a couple of WIPs and questions
* * * * * * * * * * Let’s keep in touch on Answers HQ until the new EA forums are launched in July!
May I please have Roof A, I don't mind at all if it's bigger ^_^.
Maybe a pool would be lovely to do, I do have the bohemian garden set if that's helpful and if you don't mind could I have the fencing (I have a thing that homes need fencing lol).
I have a family of 8 but, 4 are boys that can share rooms (1 boy is in his teens, 1 boy is going into his teens and 2 twin boys that have just become a child) and 2 toddler twin girls that can share if needed too, plus the parents .
No don't mind at all, do own most of the store if that's any help . it looks amazing so far and can't wait to see the rest
Wow @Kylieb191 , that's a challenging family to play. Thank you for sharing them with me. It will help with the colours I use for the bedrooms.
Yay, I'm glad to use some store items and happy you chose a pool. With the two patio areas I think it will complement perfectly and the kid simmies will enjoy swimming. Maybe even have a teen pool party, lol.
A couple more questions please...
For the toddler twin girls, do you want cribs as well as beds in their room or just the cribs and you'll swap out for beds when they become children?
Do you like to see WIPs as I go along or would you prefer to be surprised at the end?
* * * * * * * * * * Let’s keep in touch on Answers HQ until the new EA forums are launched in July!
It really is lol thank goodness for teens sims being able to help out. You're welcome glad I could help where possible. I'm happy that you're happy and i'm loving the ideas so far (the teen would love the party, parents...not so much lol)
Hi @Kylieb191 , hope you're having a good week. I'm moving along nicely with your build. Since you prefer to wait to the end for pictures, I'm sharing what I've done so far in case you would like any changes before I wrap up.
You indicated a preference for light colours. The toddler girls room is pretty in light pink, green and yellow. I've put 1bed and 1 crib so you have both recolours available. You can store the bed for when they grow up and just copy the crib for now.
The teen boys room is a neat hangout in light blues and greys. Has 1 double and single bed in case they don't want to share a bed. The extra bed is nicely tucked away in a corner and can also be used if a friend sleeps over. The kid boys room is racing themed with amber, checkered and pops of red. Has the car double bed so hopefully they are friends. The master room and open concept kitchen, breakfast nook and living room are done in a mixture of neutrals (creams, browns, greys).
Hopefully these colours are in line with what you're thinking. I'll be working on the dining room and smaller common areas next. Landscaping, patio and pool are almost done. You can add more kid activities throughout if you play with EPs/SPs later on.
There's a room in the attic that's empty. I've put stairs to access so it can be used for any purpose in the future (maybe a party room when the kids grow up... space to store family inventory items... or whatever, lol).
Question: For the basement, did you want me to complete the furnishing or leave it open for you to do? So far I've put in a gym and the foosball table which I can easily remove. If you wish, I can add a seating area for them to play video games. Since this is base game, the only musical instrument available is the guitar so I didn't create a band stage. Thoughts on any of the above?
* * * * * * * * * * Let’s keep in touch on Answers HQ until the new EA forums are launched in July!
I'll be honest, i've had better weeks but hope you're having a good week Aw it all sounds lovely, they are friends luckily - if not, i'd force them to lol and I really like the sound of all the colours and can sorta picture the rooms as well, I do like the idea of neutral colours as well . i'm sure i'll be able to fill the area with activities, without a doubt lol.
Lol I am always wondering where to put certificates, trophies, etc so i'll probably put them in there and maybe make a few cobwebs and boxes :P
Leave it open please, just incase I need to add something down there, like a fridge/ snack machine or something because teens are lazy lol:) but you can leave what you've already put in it as it sounds like a great hangout. That's great and I don't mind about the band stage as my sims seem to just walk off with the guitar anyway lol.
Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow! thank you so much it's beautiful and honestly does the real-life house justice! Thank you so much, I did have a little play with it before I posted, a couple of things didn't transfer over or changed into the fish on the wall or toy train shelving which was strange lol but other than that, I don't just like it, I frea-king love it, I also love how much space there is and though I can't actually pick a favourite part of the house, the duck pool is absolutely adorable and so unique the kids have already been playing (well the toddlers have had a splash with their hands whilst the parents held onto them (lol) ). Even i'm ready to jump in and live with the family :P
Aw thank you so much @Kylieb191 . I really, really appreciate your quick response and feedback after using in game. Very happy you love your build so much. Sorry to hear about the replaced objects but good that it didn't affect your enjoyment. Do you know which objects are missing? When you go to download, there is a list of what I've used. If you add them to your wish list I can see if I've enough points to buy them for you. I tried to add as a friend however nothing came up under your user name. Perhaps you log in under a different user name for the store/exchange?

I should be thanking you! lol .It definitely hasn't affected my enjoyment at all, what's better is that it makes me calm too :P, i'm really enjoying seeing all the little details you've put in. The wallpaper and re-colour items in the girls room, some garden plants and a couple of wall decorations in the boys and girls room, I found the wallpaper and garden plants the most odd one, although, the items that are listed I do own the compilations and are in my game so I might try & clear out the sims 3 cache files and see if that changes anything. Yeah my username is different on sims3 site: kylierose19 (couldn't change it by the time these forums came about).
For the kids room... shall I decorate for a boy, girl or gender neutral?
The Monarch Suite is an upsell and includes pieces from the following sets. Don't worry, I don't plan to use them all, lol. Do you already have any / all of these sets?
Thanks for claiming my build soocoolsim!! I'm looking forward to working with you again!! To answer ur questions, yes I have both the changing table & swing. Go ahead & add them in. I'm kinda wanting a middle class family home, so the kids room will be for both girls, & boys.I have the Monarch Suite, then I have a few random pieces of the different sets. The only 2 I have the complete set of is the India bedroom, & the Indulgent bedroom sets.

The sim looks incredible, you certainly work fast, and I love her. So feel free to move on to the kitty, I look forward to seeing how you work with that one too. I have heaps of trouble with making cats look the way that I want them to in The Sims 3, so it's great to put that job on someone else hehehe.
