    Your WIP looks very nice! :) This inspiration picture is very nice, and your simversion of it looks very nice! Very nice textures of the exterior! It looks great how you are using the water wheel!
    It is looking great! :)

    OK... I am IN LOVE with the inspiration pic, and already drooling over what you have done. Squee! A water wheel! I love Tudor homes, so the outside looks amazing. Love the treatment that you did with the chimneys, too! Small touch of contemporary that fits in beautifully! Also love the mix of windows! The iron work ones fit in beautifully with the others. I know that the "over-grown" look is hard to achieve in the sims, but you are doing great! The front shot with the "driveway" entrance looks wonderful with the various trees that you have included so far. I know that you are still working on it, but so far I am over the moon!

    Thank you so much for posting these WIP pics. I am so sick with bronchial pneumonia that I can hardly breathe, but these pics have made my day bright despite taking my breathe away in a good way! Thank you! :D<3

    So sorry to hear you are sick, Mora! Hope you get over this quickly -- I know how miserable that can be. Glad you like the house so far. Huge hugs and lots of healing thoughts are coming your way.

    I love that inspiration pic! Seriously, just beautiful. And I love the inclusion of the water wheel in your build. I haven't done anything with it yet myself!

    Thanks Suepea! Medications, and lots of tea are helping. Took them a week to figure it out, then put me on strong meds. Shoot, I am even on a steroid that I have to eat so can take the pill. This is the worst as I lose all appetites when I am ill. :p hehe However, thanks to past medical history every time I get sick, hits me harder & longer than most people. So will take a bit, but I will get better. Hugs help! hehe :D

    Forgot to mention that I love how you put rock the rock wall. Made it look like portions of the wall were added a bit at a time over a long period of time. I love the roof line that you used on the "garage". Made it look like a converted barn which is perfect. Old timey, but updated! :D I also love the shelf that is in front but outside of the larger windows. They going to be "homemade" flowerboxes? ;) Oh can't wait to go skating on that pond! hehe I am so excited, I can barely stand myself.

    Question... I paused the witch family as I would like to wait till in the new house. However, would you like me to continue a bit more so to know if she is having single or twins & the sexes of them? That way can plan in advance? Can play that much more before going to play my curiosity game. The CG is a mixoligist in Bridgeport who is curious how the newest fruits & veggies interact. Which makes perfect vintages and such. Well, I am curious, so she gets to do the work. hehe


    Edit: She had a boy. So only 2 kids, one girl (witch & heir), and a boy. He might either be human, or Merman. Will have to see when he turns into a toddler. hehe

    Hi Mora -- you have such a good eye for details! And thanks for letting me know we have a boy baby to build for. Can you bear to pause them for now? My Simming time is scarce during the week but I will use as much time as I can so you don't have to wait long. Now I have a sick hubby to deal with and we all know how men are when they are sick! Well, maybe you are lucky and don't ;-) Anyway, he doesn't complain a lot but he makes a lot of noise which to me is just about the same thing! He has been kind and slept on the couch last night so he didn't keep me up all night. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't catch it. Here come some more hugs!

    Oh I don't mind pausing them for right now. :D Been having fun with my musical bartender in BP, as I never did get very far in bartending before. I do hope that your hubby gets better. We women seem to soldier on when we are sick, but men are worse than kids when it happens to them. hehe Luckily newest "hubby" isn't too bad. Grumpy but quiet. You take care, and make sure you don't get what he has, and I will also send back some healing & hugs your way!

    PS: Was I right about the homemade flower boxes? I just LOVE how you did that! :D

    EEE! Can't wait for that to be done! I got Stones Throw recently and am Plum confused as to how to use the roof bits, I kinda managed it but I wanna build a true Green House-boat (get it? Greenhouse, Houseboat? No? Ok, shushing up.) to grow all kinds of plants all year 'round. Not having a ton of luck but I wanna try before caving and requesting.

    Finally! Wyndswept Manor -- a DNA request build for Morakai is finished!
    DL Wyndswept Manor here
    Slideshow here
    cover_zps80xo26t8.jpg
    Morakai -- In my mind's eye I envisioned this house to have been sitting on it's site for a very long time -- it's a little bit overgrown and hidden away and maybe even a little bit unkempt. But there's a strong magical presence and that's what makes it such a perfect home for Moonlight Falls and hopefully, for your magical Sims.

    Mora -- You said you wanted to leave room for the baking station and the pizza oven in the kitchen -- well, I managed to take a picture of the version of the kitchen with both but I forgot to take a picture of the kitchen as I uploaded it -- you will see that there are cupboards there instead that can be easily deleted and replaced with the extra kitchen items if you so choose.

    Wow. I just stumbled upon this. It's so pretty! I never knew I could fall in love with a house. But I think it's serious with this one. I think it's The One.

  • MorakaiMorakai Posts: 3,806 Member
    O. M. G. Suepea!!!! So worth the wait! Holy catnip!!!

    I love the ivy on the outer walls, and the secret garden is exquisite! The layout looks like it would make it easy to play, which I love! Now let's talk about that kitchen! Love the homey feeling without all the various clutter! I will be adding in the baking station & kiln. Thank you for adding a space for them. Ad I am sooooo jealous of that pantry! I want it in my real house. hehehe

    The parlor is amazing! Love the fireplace with the flanking bookshelves, and the shelf above the TV is darling! :) nd the tapestry additions are perfect! And in the study I love all the layers of texture in there. The details in the half bath so work well!

    Oh the guest room is gorgeous! Love the various textures on the walls. The mix of wicker & then the crown wallpaper is gorgeous! Then add in that fabulous rug, the colors, and the eclectic mix of furniture is awe inspiring! Speaking of awe, I am after looking at that spectacular nursery! It is sooo cute! Love it! Plus I love the wallpaper in the master! Love the whole house really!!

    Thank you ever so much for making such a beautiful, and perfect to me (at least), awe inspiring house! :D

    Oh... quick question... Where did you build it in moonlight Falls? I would like to make sure I put in the spot that it was made. Think the family is going to love this!!! I know what I will be tomorrow (err... later today)!!! Thank you!

    Massive, but gentle, Hugs!!

    @Morakai -- I am so glad you like the house! When I first built it I think I added a lot in Edit Town mode but when I play tested and took pictures it fit quite nicely on the lot right across from the Equestrian Center. There are plenty of 40 x 40 lots in Moonlight Falls but I always go for one with a water view :-) Have fun, dearie, and let me know if you have any issues that may need fixin'.
