The first time I saw one of your works in the Gallery immediately fell in love with this. It was your starter - for me, not a house but small work of art. The beauty of your work is in the instinctive harmony and perfect balance proportions of the building. I love each of them and always look forward to your new work. ♥
That is a stunning farm house! So spacious! Love the architecture and the pretty interiors. I love how you have mixed and matched different colours and patterns. Well done dear Cath! Will be adding to my favourites when I visit the gallery. (*) (*) (*)
StoneFence Farm is absolutely gorgeous. Great structure with fabulous contrasting exterior textures and colours. The rooms are all absolutely gorgeously decorated and furnished and I love the little waterfall effect from the rocks
Cath, you haven't posted it yet, but I already snagged your HGTV house from the Gallery, and just want to say how much I adore it! It's my favorite among the various HGTV dream house inspired builds I've seen. I love the proportions and when it comes to the interior, you always blow me away with all of your detailed touches. It probably goes without saying that I'm a fan of your water feature - perfectly executed.
Cath, I love your builds! Really lovely family homes. I like building family homes, too. Right now as a Mac user I couldn't play TS4, but I am eagerly waiting for February and I will start my own thread.
Your coming new build looks very nice! Very nice exterior design of the home! The layout of the build looks very nice! Very nice roofing! The flower box windows look pretty! It looks nice how you have used the columns in the front entrance area. The plants look nice lining the front pathway edges. The windowed dormers are nice.
I will forward to seeing the finished home
Thank you Rose! I'm finished with the build now and am hoping to get the pictures added here in just a bit.
Wow, that's grand! Looooove the landscaping, the tiny waterfall looks so cool! Love the flower you made with the carpets again, too cute. Master suite is gorgeous... and the bath tub with curtains is amazing.
Next build is already looking awesome too!
Thank you so much Cerry! I love that we can use MOO to help with landscaping. Hopefully they iron out all the bugs soon, so we don't have to worry about everything transferring properly.
Oh, Ms Cath!! Stonefence Farm is just breathtaking. Gorgeous colors and some amazing MOOing. Do you have trouble with MOO objects staying put?? WIP is wonderful. Looking forward to finished lot.
Thank you Cassee! I don't seem to be having too much trouble with the MOOed items staying, but I've been keeping a close eye on Bry's thread and I'm worried about whether downloaders are having trouble... I always try placing my builds on a bunch of different lots to see how everything does and so far, as long as I use the *bb.moveobjects* code when placing the build, everything pretty much seems to stay put. I hope it's the same for anyone who DL's *crosses fingers*.
Beautiful work, Cath! Love the exterior and landscaping, the water feature (of course), and you did a lot of great work in the interior. You had such a large amount of space to fill - I don't envy you all that work! I like all the variety of styles you used, and you always have so many great little details and touches that help really make the space come alive.

Thank you times two, Bry! I appreciate your very kind comments on both builds, more than you know. Lol about the "various HGTV homes" I had mine done for a while, but was working on a couple of other builds at the same time, so hadn't taken the pics and edited yet. I have YOU to thank for the water feature idea. Ever since I saw your Cool water feature in Moody Blues, I've been dying to try it out. I want you to know that I fully intend to give you credit for that Awesome idea! I should have the pics for this home plus my latest little cabin up, pretty soon. Thanks again Bry!
StoneFence Farm is ultimately gorgeous and grand!
I really love your architecture. Very great roof-line and mixture of bricks and sidings. I also adore your landscaping very much, especially with your customized pond. Very great choices and placements of plants, and I also liked your hedging and pool. And your interior, very amazing and adorable! I like your eye-popping colorful design in every part of interior design.
If @Chezs really loves it, I really love it too! I'm not sure I already faved it, but if not, I'm adding this to my faves.
Thank you so much Rye! Your comments are always so positive and kind! I hope Chezs likes it too!

Kreatora, this is one of the Best comments I've ever received. Thank you so very much for this and for all your comments on the Gallery. I appreciate them from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you so much Yanti, my friend! I am so relieved to hear that your husband is better! I hope the very best for your Mum with her surgery. I will be keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Masajo! It's so nice to be able to play around with landscaping, now that we have MOO.
Well apparently I missed the chance to see the sneaky peak, oh well (darn you photobucket bandwidth whatchamathing!).
Stonefence Farm is brilliant Cath! I dunno what to say, it's all so well done! Very well executed request, I'm sure they'll be super happy with it!
Lol, TGL! I'm the one who screwed up the pic. I was rearranging all my pics for that build, and must have accidentally gotten rid of the one I had in that post. (need the embarrassed emoji here, haha) Thank you for the lovely comments on the farm house! I'll be getting the pics for the new build up ASAP.

Hi Tyene, it's very nice to meet you! Thank you for the wonderful comments! I too, am a Mac user. I didn't think Maxis was even thinking about a mac version of the game, so back in Sept, I started investigating Boot Camp. I was terrified of adding the program myself, so I took my desktop to the Mac store and got help from their Genius bar. I am thrilled with how well it works! Now I don't have to worry about getting the mac version of the game. If you think you have enough memory on your computer, it might be an option for you. I will however, be very interested to know how the game works for macs, once it comes out. Good luck with whichever way you choose to go!
I saw the 2015 HGTV Dream Home and fell in love. Then I saw that it was built on Martha's Vineyard and made sure to get my entry in right away. I kept pretty close to the original floor plan but added an extra bedroom on the Master suite side of the home and put in a study, where the garage should be on the left side. The living room, dining room and kitchen are open concept. The back yard has a nice sized patio, an outdoor kitchen, play area, small raised vegetable and fruit garden and pool with a really cool water feature. I got the idea for the water feature from @BryonyRae. She built an Absolutely Stunning two tier water feature in her Moody Blues. (*) (*) (*) As soon as I saw hers, I knew I had to try it out myself. Mine is nowhere near as intricate and interesting as hers, but I had fun with it anyway.
Before I post my pictures, I would like to give accolades to two Awesome builders from whom I *borrowed* ideas. @BryonyRae for her Fabulous water feature, in her Moody Blues
And @Chris2fer03 for his cool idea to use a bookcase as the headboard for a bed, in two of his builds. I used the one from his Cedar Creek Cabin

Once again, I would like to thank both Bry and Chris for their Awesome building ideas! (*) (*) (*) I hope you don't mind my borrowing them guys.
It's beautiful I really like how you seem to pick all the things that work so well together, from exterior wallpaint, interior colours to landscaping. Cool MOOing with the shelves. I adore that row of action figures in one of the kids bedrooms And of course, the water feature looks great!

First and foremost Cath - I really love your builds! From one Sim architect to another Sim architect *tips hat with respect*
Second, Cape on the Vineyard is so perfect! I've been to the new Dream House and have spent numerous summers on The Vineyard. Thus, I am extremely, first hand, familiar with the architecture throughout the island. You've nailed the Dream House! The build itself couldn't be better. I'm just so impressed with your version. When I looked at your pictures I thumbed through the pictures I had taken on my trip and was blown away at the vast similarities and realism. Again, GREAT AWESOME FABULOUS JOB!
Wowser! Cath, you are on a roll! Love the latest builds, so much character with impeccable attention to detail! StoneFence Farm is gorgeous, I love the grand exterior and the elegant decor you've chosen for the interior. Your HGTV inspired build, Cape on the Vineyard is stunning! I love every detail about it! You should have your own sim version of an HGTV show! "This week on WrathofCath" Ha! Hope you and your family are well, keeping warm in the snow.
Cath -- your version of the HGTV Dream Home is lovely! I agree with Chris -- This Week on WrathofCath is an awesome idea :-)
I hope you don't mind but I have been working on a version of the same home -- GMTA, I guess. I have been going back and forth between that and my request build for Tanu so who knows when I'll get it done. Although, tomorrow is a snow day so maybe I can get one or the other one of them finished.
I love how the backyard is set up...it's part of the landscaping etc that I ALWAYS seem 2 struggle with heh...very nice clean lines...looks great! I like how u use double mirrors like in the closet above the vanity or above the dressers...nice idea there. Great Build..added 2 Faves!
Cape on the Vineyard is super fabulous! I already saw and faved it in the gallery.
I haven't knew HGTV before, but I really love those eye-popping design inside and out. Love that architecture and your pool area is very amazing too! It's great that you borrowed Bry's and Chris' idea in your build.
Hi Cath Cape on the Vineyard is a stunning build , wonderful use of MOO very inspiring. The decor is beautiful, I love the little touches like the books above the bedhead. Elegant landscaping suits the build perfectly. Hugs Folly
WOWZA Cath! Your new builds just took my breath away! What a fabulous build! Loving the architecture and the roof work! How did you do the fountain thing near the pool? Very creative! All the rooms inside are decorated to perfection too! Well done! Will be adding to my favourites when I visit the gallery. (*) (*) (*)
