    It sounds like the three possible classes would all be well-received. I also saw a few suggestions about different styles in architecture and in interior design. I could see that turning into a few classes.

    Hey, this isn't related to the current class, but I thought maybe one of you talented builders might have a solution. So I'm currently working on an Italian villa, and wanted to do an arch entry area, kinda like I did on my final exam project but on a larger scale, obviously. Except I can't seem to find any 2-3 space arches that don't look weird so I can get the 2 story arch appearances. Any suggestion on how to get the look I'm going for or suggestions on other similar grand entryways I'm open to any and all suggestions. I don't have pictures (wrong computer), but it's on a diagonal wall if that helps. :)

    All 3 would be very much appreciated by me, I'd love to attend all 3 courses, especially the interior desing and moo but all 3 would be amazing as I am in serious need of learning some building skills :)

    Good morning! First, thanks for all the kind words and thoughts from everyone. These forums have kept me distracted and sane... well, I was never sane to start with, so you know what I mean. :-)

    Second, I will be here for class, so I am very excited about that! Will get my errands done here in a few.

    Downloading lot now! Any particular world we should place it? I usually build in SV, but sometimes I have built in Appaloosa Plains, as well. Can build anywhere.

    I'm glad you will be joining us, dear.

    I used Sunset Valley, but it should work anywhere you choose. I tried to keep it in a world everyone would have.

    BIG HUGS :)

    Downloading the lot right now. I need to go through Courses 1 - 6 and do those as well. I do not know how you all put out beautiful builds for your requests. I have one that I am stumped on right now. LOL

    Yay; kind of almost time to start class :D

    It's getting closer to time. Approximately one hour to go. I hope everyone has successfully downloaded the lot. I have a slideshow link I will post when we begin.

    Looking forward to seeing you soon :mrgreen:

    Thanks so much! And just one more question, about how long does a live course usually go on for?

    This is my first time as a guest prof, so I am not sure. I was planning on 1 hour minimum, but the slideshow will be available for reference to use at your leisure. :)

    Alrighty then, I downloaded the lot, and placed it in Sunset Valley, on a 25 x 30 because I couldn't find an empty 25 x 25, but the house sits on a hill of sorts. Was that intended? :?:

    I'll be watching this forum, but I don't think I will be interacting w/ the game mostly cause I wore myself out this morning. And going to the desktop, booting it up and the game seems like to much work and this couch is really comfortable. :wink:

    I placed the lot on Pinochle Point which is the road near the junkyard in Sunset Valley...LOL. I place my own 25x25 lot there from the Edit Town mode for a flat good picture taking spot. You can place it wherever you like. Placing on a larger lot shouldn't hurt anything. :)

    I downloaded the lot too, so I'm ready to go!The lot is also on a hill in my game as well so I do think that it was built that way :D

    I will add you to the above list. You may want to download the lot if you haven't already. It isn't necessary but may make it easier as we progress.

    Thanks for coming :)

    While we give the others a few more minutes to arrive, please review the "how to" slideshow and let me know if you have any questions.

    Should we start working on the lot now? Or just review the slideshow?

    Since everyone works as a different pace, you may go ahead if you wish. The "how to" slideshow begins with a blank lot, so skip down a few frames in the slideshow to the "softening" part.
