    Did you get the new pack? If so, how are you liking all our new goodies? There are so many cool new things, I'm just Loving it! :smiley:<3

    Yes, I did get the new pack. There are so many new build/buy items, I have just begun to explore them! :smiley: I'm still disappointed that we can't create our own apartment buildings, but with the complicated game play, I can understand why that is so. And I do really like the urban environment.

    @StSciurus, yes it was a real let down to learn that we can't build our own versions... I haven't taken the time to play yet. I will try to set aside some time for that. I'd like to see how the market venues work. Like you, I Love all the Awesome new content and I too, am just beginning to explore everything. Have fun playing! :blush:

    Thank you for the lovely comment @AIRIS6962 :relaxed:

    Slideshow

    This cozy home has three bedrooms on the main floor, along with kitchen, dining, living room, study, two baths and two porches. The basement has an additional bedroom, family/game room, playroom, bath and an interior "outdoor" room which consists of a pool, hot tub and some gym equipment. It was built on a smallish lot and I couldn't fit a pond or pool outside so I decided to add a pool in the basement, which had plenty of space.

    I will show a few pictures here but have included the link to the slideshow for those who would like to see all the pictures. :blush:

    Some exterior views:

    There's a lot of nice things to say about this cottage. :) One thing that stood out for me as being quite novel was the cacti in front of the desert landscape painting. Lovely build as always. :)

    WOW! Lovely to come back to the forums and be greeted by your wonderful builds. The penthouse is fantastic! Love the way you have decorated. The traditional style of house looks fantastic too. Fabulous architecture! Well done Cath! Already added them to my favourites. <3
  • WrathofCathWrathofCath Posts: 4,419 Member
    Thank you so much, @Cassee! I hope you get some time to do some building soon, Cass. I really miss seeing some new builds from you... There are lots of pretty cool new items in the new packs. I haven't even gotten a chance to check out everything thoroughly yet and now with the holidays creeping up, I probably won't have tons of time till they're over... Ah well, I'm sure it'll be a loooong winter :p

    Thank you for your most lovely comments, @yanti68! It's so nice to see you back with some of your wonderful new builds. :3

    Blue Christmas is the perfect holiday home! :awesome: And what a lovely gift to offer a home with base game materials + the free holiday pack only. I've always thought blue was a wonderful winter/holiday color!
  • masajomasajo Posts: 5,993 Member
    Blue Christmas is a most stunningly beautiful home, very impressive for basegame and holiday pack items only :) Love the Christmas colours inside and the wintry trees behind the house, looks very effective :)

  • WrathofCathWrathofCath Posts: 4,419 Member
    Thank you so much, @StSciurus! It's funny about the color because when I was building the home, I couldn't decide whether to go with the traditional red and white or something different. When I tried the blue (it might actually be considered green and I might be color blind :p ) I really liked how it looked at night. Then Elvis' song came to mind and that decided it. :blush:

    Thank you so very much for your extremely generous comments, @masajo! They make me so happy and are always very much appreciated. :relaxed:

    @justbrice Hi Brice, I have a couple of pics of some homes that look like they could accommodate your floor plan nicely. I was thinking of having the big patio across the back of the home.

    Pools are included with the base game but hot tubs come with a stuff pack (Perfect Patios) I think. I could probably add a "fake" one at the end of the pool, if you'd like.

    Here are a couple of designs I was thinking of:

    w300x200_zpswybpo4a2.jpeg

    Let me know what you think. :smile:
  • justbricejustbrice Posts: 348 Member
    Hi Cath. Thanks for taking my request. I can't wait to see it. I can't decide between the first and third house. I might need some help. Which one do you think looks good? The second house looks small, so that's one out. I could get the Perfect Patio Stuff Pack. Let's say, you add the fake hot tub. When I do get the Perfect Patio Stuff Pack, would I be able to replace it?
  • WrathofCathWrathofCath Posts: 4,419 Member
    @justbrice, I would make sure the fake hot tub is the same size as the real ones, so it would be easily replaced. I'm not sure which home I like more... How about if I try them out in game and see which one is a better fit?
