    Hi Cath Cottontail farm is so very charming, beautifully landscaped with all the veggies perfectly in a row in a very pretty garden. :)
    The decor is detailed as with all your builds, with all the warm of a family home.
    Have a wonderful day. Hugs Folly

    I love your farm! So adorable! I do have a question, though...how did you get a pond on your lot? Inquiring minds want to know. Hehehehe.

    WrathofCathWrathofCath Posts: 4,419 Member
    @SuzyQSim1259, Thank you for the kind comments! The pond is in the Debug section. If you haven't tried them yet, there are a lot of nifty little things in there. Some are free, including the ponds. They really come in handy for challenges with budget restrictions, lol. :p If you're not familiar with how to do this, just use the cheat code: bb.showhiddenobjects, then type "Debug" (without the quotes) into the search bar and a whole menu of items will appear, including the ponds.

    Thank you for such a prompt answer WrathofCath! I am familiar with buydebug, I just didn't realize (notice) they had added ponds. Last I knew they were unavailable. EA should update their sticky post on this, as I checked there first. Thanks again! :smile:

    @SuzyQSim1259, you're most welcome! Glad I could help out. :) I didn't notice the ponds right away. There is So Much content in there, it's sometimes hard to find what you're looking for, lol. :D

    @BreeMiles, Thank you Bree! Hope you're enjoying this lovely weekend. :)<3

    Faeries Landing 3br, 2ba.
    Lot Size: 30x40
    Cost: $277,294
    No CC


    Gallery Link

    This build is for the "Summer Designer Showdown" for BuildnShare. We started with a pre-built shell and had some criteria to follow including choosing an inspiration object which we used to base the build on. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do at first, till I started playing around with the roof. We weren't allowed to change the shape but could change the curvature, color, pitch and edgings. Once I found a roof shape I liked, I knew what I wanted to use for my inspiration. I chose the "Origami Tree Luminaries". They look so whimsical and Fairy Tale-ish.

    I wanted the home to be set in the woods with beautiful views, so I chose Forest Hideaway in Granite Falls for the pictures. It would be a lovely and relaxing place to take a vacation or the lot could be placed in another world for an everyday home.

    Cath, I couldn't recognize the original shell from Faeries Landing at all! Talk about a complete renovation. :) You definitely captured your inspiration quite well, and the home is immaculately designed both inside and out. I enjoyed all of it but especially loved the leafy canopy over the master bed, the romantic dresser set up in the girl's room, and the layout of the kids playroom. Excellent work, as always!

    Faeries Landing is very cozy and beautiful! :smiley:
    I like your architecture, so cozy and charming design! It reflects from the Outdoor Retreat tree light very well! Awesome curvature of the roofing and amazing shell renovation! Your landscaping is very beautiful! Lovely gardens and the backyard too! I also like on how you mixed a fence and the hedge arch. I might gonna try this too on my future build. Giving you a credit of course (or did you borrowed from someone's build?). ;) And your interior, beautiful! Very lovely green color scheme! Awesome MOOing as well!
    I love it! I already added this to my faves and best lucks for #BnS25 Expert Level! :smiley:
