Modern Brick Dwelling is very nice! @pronterus :)Very nice exterior design and layout of the home! The raised plants balconies around the edges of the home looks very nice! Very nice roofing on the home! The brick texture of the exterior walls looks nice. The lantern wall lights and the ground pool lights look very nice how they are placed in the build! Very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! The tv watching nook is very nice! Sims will enjoy sitting resting on the armchairs there watching tv and enjoying the sunlight coming in through the side windows. The coat stand is a homely touch there. Very nice open plan layout of the living and dining areas. The red , white and black colours of the seating in the living room look very nice together. The pedestal with the musical note on it looks nice there.
Your new WIP looks very nice! It is great that you are building a new smaller and cheaper version of Wooden Hovel. The two homes look very nice together in the same neighbourhood.
Your Church WIP is looking very nice! @SimsFansinceBeginning The exterior design of the Church looks very nice, and very nice Church steeple ! The greenery ivy will look very nice on the walls! The dome type windows look very nice in the build. I will look forward to seeing the finished build
You're such a sweetheart, @rosemow - thank you very much!
[...] @SimsFansinceBeginning Welcome to my WIP thread!
Your Church WIP looks gorgeous!
I like your architecture, really reflects from the churches very well! Love the tower at the top and the use of rustic wall patterns are a nice touch!
I'm looking forward to seeing your finished build! Thank you for posting your WIP here!
Many thanks for welcoming me to your thread with such nice words to my building, @RyeCris16!
Amazing WIPs, everyone!
Sorry if I haven't responded you quickly, but I did enjoyed seeing those inspiring WIPs while I was logged-out.
I'll update my list right now! Thanks everyone for posting your WIPs and even the updates here!
Streamlet Retreat is very nice! @pronterus Very nice exterior of the home! The wraparound upper balcony looks very nice! Nice chess nook on the balcony for sims to have fun playing chess in the outdoors air. The flowers look very pretty in the builld! Nice seat bench sitting area under the tree. The brick texture of the exterior and interior walls looks nice. The coat shelf near the door and the books on the table in the foyer are nice home touches there. Very nice upper landing reading and study desk areas! The bookshelf alcove looks great! Sims will enjoy the sunshine coming in through the windows whilst sitting at the desk using the computer. Sims will enjoy resting on the armchairs reading a book.

Well, my Wild West lot is finally done and on the Gallery - turned it in to a bar, but could have been/is many other things. I'm going to limit myself to just 5 images and for the rest refer you to my Showcase thread.
I hope to be back soon with one of the many other things I'm working on right now I may also share a few things of the Dream House project (which is more of a story than a build - at this stage anyway).
Trails End and Future Flow are such very nice builds! @MDianaSanders It is great that you have finished and uploaded the builds to the Gallery. The Wild West Town is so very detailed with the various types of buildings in the town! Very nice furnishing of each of the buildings in the town! Each of the areas in both of the builds are very nice!
I hope that you are enjoying working on your current WIPS
About the Dream House project, I was drawing out a blueprint (I usually draw a blueprint on squared paper first) and then I got curious about how it would look in game - and there were a few things I needed to check in terms of space. So I ended up building the entire shell (which completely disrupts the continuity in my story, but I can fix that). Anyway, this is what I have now:
I know it's a LOT of wall ivy, but I love it so much, I just keep placing it on my walls I kind of hope I can move this lot without stuff going missing because of MOO (I know I can activate the cheat before placing it, but I really hate doing that). I also have no idea what all that wall ivy did to the lot price, I haven't checked.
Obviously it still needs a lot of work (I know it doesn't really show, but this is just like two/three hours work, I think I'll need a lot more to finish the garden, pool, and inside of the house - and I haven't even properly started on the basement), but I am quite pleased with the shape of the house, and the absence of an attic - I wanted to at first, but it didn't fit (or I would have some clipping with the roof). So now there's the ground floor, and one floor up and one down, which is good. (Can you tell I'm excited about this build? I don't normally talk/ramble this much about my builds ) Anyway, I have three questions:
The wall ivy, of course, is it too much, too little, or just right?
Another thing I'm sort of still in doubt about is the back of the house, shall I add a porch/deck/patio or do I leave it like this and turn it in to a massive flower garden?
And then there's the gazebo issue, I could probably build my art studio in the basement, but I could also make a gazebo for it, of course that is something I can add to the build at a later stage, like when my Sims have enough money for it. I could also make a gazebo for just sitting there (which means I'll only ever use it for storytelling purposes).
@MDianaSanders I think the wall ivy is charming! I've seen houses covered in more ivy than that. May I ask, is the ivy CC or is it somewhere in the Build Mode inventory?
Hmmm unfortunately I hit a bad bug on my desert campsite WIP build. Whenever I try to place a tile the surrounding tiles disappear. This is making it very difficult to build and what even worse is that the fountain seems to be glitched. Whenever I try to build a new fountain area or a wall the placement keeps flying off to the right! I might have to put this WIP on hold until this bug is fixed somehow
Your Dream House build is so very nice! @MDianaSanders The exterior design and layout of the home looks so nice! The roof covered porch looks very nice. Very nice planter box windows. The wall ivy gives a very nice look to the build! It looks just the right amount in the build. Perhaps with the backyard you could do a combination of both, and have a patio surrinded by flowers? A gazebo where sims could paint on an easel would look great in the build!
I will look forward to seeing updates on your WIP!

Hi, everyone! I'm working on a house which will be part of a story. It's supposed to be a ranch/farm house set in the American West. This is what I have so far:
I'm looking for suggestions for the exterior especially. It's supposed to be simple. The family (parents and a small boy) will not be poor, but will not have a lot of possessions. I'm still working on the interior. Oh, and I'd really like to find a better horse. I guess I'm willing to use CC if anyone has suggestions for sources, though I'd prefer not to. Thanks for your help!
Your American West WIP is looking very nice! @StSciurus It is capturing the theme very well! Very nice exterior design of the ranch/famhouse! The roofing and porch looks very nice. The horse pen looks great. Sims will have fun playing horseshoes at their home. Very nice layout of the interior of the home. The flooring suits the type of home.
The build is looking great!
@rosemow I have tried those methods before in my old WIP and it did not work unfortunately. So I was stuck with a Lot that I couldn't finish or couldn't progress any further unless I found some kind of trick of loophole. If it doesn't work out I might as well start over just means I have to work even harder lol

I am sorry that you have had these issues @Heaveness . I hope that if you need to redo your WIP , the second version goes more smoothly.
Your American West WIP is looking very nice! @StSciurus
I haven't been on the forums for all that long, but I've noticed how very sweet and thoughtful you are to everyone, @rosemow . Thank you for taking the time to look at my WIP!
Wonderful WIP's, everyone! I really enjoyed seeing of these! Thanks again for sharing your WIP's and finished builds here! I updated my list post.
@Heaveness Sorry to hear you having issues on your Desert Campground WIP! I see that @rosemow is right, this was the issue regarding the slope which occurs when building a basement/pool/fountain. This was affected on selected lots unfortunately. Hope you're making another version of your build!
@MDianaSanders Ooh, I love your Futuristic House WIP! The roofing is very creative! Love the glass roofing you did too! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing your finished build!
@StSciurus If by "exterior" you mean the outdoor area rather than the actual outside of the house (which looks fine, maybe add spandrels on the porch), I have a couple of suggestions. I guess it depends on how "historical" you want it to look and how much space you have.
You could place a firepit/bonfire somewhere outside, maybe place a few of the OR log benches around it.
Toolshed of some sort (preferably with the run down wooden sidings from Spooky stuff, but the base game has some things in that direction too).
Construe something with fountain, MOO some rocks on it, use the barrel-like trashcan and maybe some sort of sculpture to suggest a fountain/waterpump (I know you already have the decorative well and a pond there, so maybe too much water).
Build a small stable by the paddock, could be just columns with a roof on it, as a small shelter for the horse.
That's all I can come up with for now Hope it inspires you (if you haven't already finished the build!)
@RyeCris16 Actually, the futuristic house I shared was already finished (which is why I shouldn't share it in this thread in the first place ).
Sorry for posting again, but I think you guys might appreciate this. I made these screenshots for the sake of my story and basically is the entire "construction process" of the last WIP I shared (the one with all the wall ivy).

All your suggestions are great! Thank you so much. I will see what I can fit into the lot.
By the way, I love the construction images of your house!
It is great seeing the screenshots of the costruction stages of your WIP @MDianaSanders It is nice seeing the bulld from the start , then progressing through to the finished shell.
