    I am really hoping for a bunch of camping builds. I really would like all 5 of the rental lots to be camping lots.

    It's a lot smaller on the inside than it looks. It could fit a family of 4. It has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and... a SAUNA! Or, well... it's supposed to be a sauna, but I guess you could also just roast marshmallows on the fire, right? With the whole cabin-esque feel of the game pack, I wanted to simulate one of those saunas with hot rocks on which you pour water and then steam comes off.

    Cerrydd, your cabin is charming! I love everything about it from the angled firepit/sauna room, to the woodsy bathroom to the latticework base around the outside. I would like to stay there. Looks inviting! Lovely job! :)

    The big fancy houses are great but I would really love to see some small cabins with woodsy lots. When I think of outdoor retreat I think of little wooden cabins and lots of outdoor activities.

    Okay what do you have to do to post pics. I tried posting 3 pics but got a message saying it needed to be approved. Apparently that is just another way of saying it isn't going to be posted.

    I have my pics on photobucket. I start my post, add my comments, grab the img url from the photobucket page and copy it into the space provided when I click on image URL. I go to preview and everything is correct and looks great. But when I try to post my stuff....as I said I get a message about pending approval and nothing happens, nothing gets posted, no approval comes.

    Help?

    edit: Okay gonna try again, just got some help from someone, unfortunately can't delete this post so will make a new post and try it out.
