Excellent work on Phoenix Ridge, Cath! Solid architecture, and your interiors never fail to impress me. Very kind of you to mention me as inspiration for the water feature, but please don't feel like you need to do that. I'm just so happy to see people creating them and in so many different ways. Still hoping we'll get a fog emitter type object at some point so we'll really have a lot of options for type and placement.
Great job, @WrathofCath Another very nice work! I'm trying to avoid using MOO but your builds make it really difficult for me to keep ignoring it. Great work on that landscaping!
@Nhicks, lol! No, I don't think you left anything at all, out! Thank you so very much for your lovely comments!
@RyeCris16, aww thanks for all the wonderful comments, Rye! Congrats on getting Outdoor Retreat! I know you're going to love it and build some Amazing homes there. Congrats once again on your recent Maxis Faves! So nice to see your works being appreciated.
@BreeMiles, thank you sweet Bree! And thank You for setting up the app thread! It's a great place for everyone to share their latest creations. Hope you're getting through the last of this dreadful winter okay... I am So ready for Spring!!
@jenny0786, thank you Jenny! I hope I don't make you wait too long for your home, lol. I've got my thinking cap on for the bedrooms and have been playing around with them a little. I know what you mean about landscaping. It always takes me the longest there. I have to try out a bunch of different ideas, before it suddenly clicks and I know what I want to do. I'm crossing my fingers that inspiration will hit soon. Hope you have a nice relaxing weekend!
@suepea, thank you Sue!! Sadly...no...the top bunk is not usable... I only use them to add some interest to the room. Getting kind of bored with the same-old, same-old, you know what I mean?....
@agusiamal, lol! Thank you Aggie! I like both chocolate and green for color too! Thank you for your very kind comments and for stopping by for a look.
@Yvonne2772, thank you for your lovely comments, Yvonne!
@masajo, thank you for your wonderful comments Masajo! "stepping stones" is Exactly the look I was going for! The only thing that bugs me, is that we can't change the color of the *grey* border on the edge of the pool... I tried to hide it with shelving, but then my sim couldn't get into the pool. I hope they fix this somewhere down the line.
@rosemow, Hello sweet Rose! Thank you so much for your kind review and for always taking the time to both look at the build and write such a detailed comment! I appreciate it and you very much!
@BryonyRae, say no more! I won't keep mentioning you time after time. Although I have to say, I AM very thankful for your Awesome ideas! And the fact that it doesn't bug you that we *steal* them from you, lol. Thank you for the very nice comments, Bry!
@Ash072, thank you for the lovely comments Ash! And I just know that one of these days, you will break down and Have to use MOO, lol. Seriously though, I would be a Lot happier if it worked better than it does right now... I have found that most things seem to stay in place when I try placing the lot in other locations, but every once in a while, something will go missing. So annoying!
@Cassee, thank you for the wonderful comments, Cass!
Hi Cath Phoenix Ridge is a wonderful build, love the architecture and the muted colours of the exterior. It is beautifully decorated with many inspiring ideas . Hugs Folly
I really like the interior design on Phoenix Ridge Very interesting color combinations and quite inspiring
at the same time. Great design of the kitchen with the brick wall! Also, great use of MOO Nice job Cath!
Phoenix Ridge looks wonderful! Great modern build. I love the pool area with the fountain. Inside, all the rooms are perfectly decorated. I always love the way you combine colours and textures. I especially love the kitchen and the living room. The kids room also looks wonderful. Great job Cath. Will be adding to my favourites when I open the game.
@follyfoot, thank you so much for the lovely comments, Folly! It's always so nice to see you! Hugs,
@Brennachan, thank you for stopping by for a peek Brenna and for the very kind comments!
@Manssom, thank you for the kind comments Manssom! I do love me some MOO, but I wish they could make it work a lot better. I had to make so many changes in my newest build, due to MOO mishaps.
This is a DNA Request for Jenny0786. I wanted to get it to her as quickly as I could because she'll be starting school soon. YAY Jenny!! I stayed pretty close to the floor plan with a just a few minor changes. As asked, I used the intended garage area for a study, gym and children's playroom. I think I managed to get most of the skill items in except for the rocket and the cupcake machine. They are both so big, they would have taken up most of the space. The yard on the left side of the house should be big enough to place those items, if you would like your sim to skill up in those areas. So here we go!

And some more pics of the outdoor areas:
So I had this whole idea to put in a diving board. I enlarged one of the shelves and found some items to make the pedestal part with. It looked so cool! Then while I was play testing and checking to make sure it would load okay to a different lot, I found out that sadly, it would not work. During transfer, the shelf falls to the ground just like the Christmas lights do on a fence. I know the *table* doesn't look anywhere near as nice as my original plan, but you get the gist. ......We Need Real Diving Boards!.....
Finally we can move inside.

OH MY GOODNESS! Cath this looks AMAZING! It turned out just wow! I love the way you have done everything! Hopefully we will get diving boards soon; but I still like what you did with the pool! I need to get it in game NOW! LOL.
I just had a look at some of your builds and they are fantastic but I must say, my favorite parts are the landscaping. You are amazing at it!
I also read about your hesitation with building in the Sims 4 and that's where I am now. I've been wanting to build in the game but I'm hesitant because I'm so used to Sims 3 build I'm afraid I won't like it in the Sims 4. After seeing these pictures though, I think I might just have to knuckle up and try it.
