    @wrathofcath - You did excellent putting that house into the game! Creepy and spooky and the interiors are all well done. My favorite bits are the splashes of purple with the furniture and the kitchen is BANGIN'!

    LOL Ash! (about the "Bangin" kitchen) :D Thank you for the awesome comments! :)

    Hello Rose! Thank you for your wonderful review and comments! Once again, I really hope you know how very much, we all appreciate the time you take for such a thorough look at all of our builds. You are the Best! :D<3<3<3

    Hi Tiki! Thanks! I was going to just have the back kind of straight and boring, but decided I wanted to try to dress it up a little back there too. Thank you for your kind comment! :)

    Hi Bry, thank you! I had a bit of trouble with that sloped roof on the right side... Once I put the dormer up there, the game refused to let me make any changes to the walls on either the inside or the out. I got a little worried that the bathroom I put up there might not be usable, but it worked just fine. I ended up having to take the roof off, and not put it back till I was sure I was happy with all the wall coverings. Weird, huh?

    Hi Bree! Thank you so much my friend! :)<3<3<3

    Hi Christi, it's very nice to meet you! Thank you so much for such wonderful comments! :D

    Hi Manssom! Thank you! I love working with roofs, but sometimes they don't like working with me, lol! This one was fun though. Thanks for the nice comments. :)

    This is a good example why you should not judge a book by its cover. Even though the outside of Dark Manor looks spooky and dark, the interior is quite beautiful and charming. This house is great for Halloween or for a Goth family or anyone, like me, who loves Victorian homes, even if they do look spooky. Now to see if I can find it in the Gallery. Thank you for sharing your amazing creation.

    Wonderful builds. Your detail is amazing and with no cast, wow. I especially like Wildflower Farm. I am now going to go look for you in the gallery. I love to build but can come nowhere near what you have created.

    Oh Cath, this is a spectacular Victorian build! The architecture is fabulous, that roof! The interior has your lovely touch and is so well thought out, I love that you put the nursery next to the master bedroom. The landscaping is perfect too! Superb!

    Hi Cath

    Your houses are so wonderful. If I have to choose which are the best, that will be "New Beginnings" and "Coastal Living". They are so ... I have no words for these lovely buildings :D

    Keep up the good work :D

    Hi Bry, thank you! I had a bit of trouble with that sloped roof on the right side...

I got a little worried that the bathroom I put up there might not be usable, but it worked just fine. I ended up having to take the roof off, and not put it back till I was sure I was happy with all the wall coverings. Weird, huh?

    Unfortunately, I guess it is all too common. I'd read quite a few comments about the "wall does not exist" error and was wondering how come I hadn't experienced it yet, when boom, it came on with a vengeance in one of my new builds. Definitely has to do with roofing and I think primarily with how many roofs are intersecting the structure, maybe on multiple levels. But yeah, to keep working with the walls, it seems like you have to take all of the roofs off and then put them back once you're done. Painstaking, I hope it gets fixed!

    New Beginnings is rather well furnished for being a starter! Great job! :)

    Coastal Living is well designed and I love the landscaping you've done with it! The layout looks great and you've used the space well to include so many different rooms and they are each decorated quite nicely.

    Wildflower Farm is a great unique build, the pond looks very nice with the rocks surrounding it and it looks great around the tree in the front as well. The garden in the back and the 'reserved pool space' is also a nice outdoor feature (going to be great now that we know there shall be pools!) and the interior is well done too! I like that you've got a fancy girl's room and a more reserved boys room in addition to a separate play room for them to go crazy in. :D

    The Dark Manor is so dark... :p You've done a great job using the picture as inspiration and the unkempt yard is a nice touch. The exterior design of the building looks awesome and I think despite being limited with the roofing it came out very good. Again you've made great use of interior space and would be perfect for a family looking for something fancy to move in to. If they can just get past the scary appearance. :disagree:

    All solid builds, you have a great talent for building! :)

    Wow Cath, Dark Manor is a stunning home. Love the exterior, the roof line is great and the wall pattern compliments it perfectly. Great job on the interior, as always you've creatively used the cabinetry tool. :)<3

    @suzanna13, thank you so much! I really do miss CAS though... It's a little annoying that things just don't quite match, exactly, lol! :p

    @Snowmoon, thank you for your very kind words! :)<3<3

    @Yanti, thank you! Lol about the fountain! It took me a few tries before I figured out just how to get that shape right. Thankfully if it's not in the right spot, which it wasn't, the whole thing can be picked up and moved! So cool. Thank you for the fave too, Yanti! Such a lovely friend! :)<3<3

    This would be a great home for a large family. It has two master bedrooms, a little girls room and a boys bedroom. Each of the bedrooms is en suite, plus one more bath on the main level. This home has a cute playroom just off the kitchen, a small home gym, formal dining room, study, family room and music room on the first level. Upstairs there is lots of room for reading or just relaxing in the upper hall and landing. Best of all, it has a Pool! Nothing fancy, cause the backyard is kind of small. The house took up most of the room, lol! :p
