Thank you for the comment The Alt key is so fantastic for getting that "built-in" look with walls and objects, I just wish it didn't take me so long to discover it haha :P
It´s been a few days since I have been here, so let´s see what I have missed...
Evie, I agree it would be fun to build a loghome and the inspiration picture I posted earlier would be easy to try.
I love your new avatar. She is pretty!
Yanti, Thanks! I´m glad you like it
Snowplow, your mountain house is huge and beautiful! Great job so far!
I love your French style mansion. It is gorgious!
I really love the kitchen
I think the dining room and lounch area could use some curtains, but it does look great. It´s a bit dark, but it fits the style of the house.
chaoskishin, the house is starting to look more like a home now you have put up curtains and paintings.
I like the colours you use. I have a suggestion, but it already looks good as it is now but it is something you can try. Maybe in the living room you could use a different wallpaper, onewhere there is something on the top (maybe wood or a pattern). Maybe you could make one where you use a pattern using the same colours as the curtains. I think that would look lovely.
For the garden, you could add terrain paint to make it more realistic...like dirt under the bushes and trees.
rattbait, must have been hard to build something so small!
I love your deserted house. So beautiful!
Snow - Ah lovely tea! The herbs works good! I like spices. How did you guess? Don't forget to pre-order the limited edition. You do not want to miss out on the extra things.
Illusie - What a beautiful boat house! Thanks for sharing that! *Hugs* I am so looking forward to Island Paradise ep. I can't wait to build boat houses.
I apologize for the lack of 'color' on the ceiling, I really don't like Maxis' idea of ceiling tiles and I'm almost never at that angle so I don't generally bother with it. I may just use the same material as the floor.
Your WIP is going good @ chaoskishin . I like the shade of violet that you have used for the walls of the living room. The backyard is dturning into a great outdoor living/dining pool area. It's going good!
chaoskishin >> I like your placement of the pictures on the wall. Only two suggestions for them: Make sure they do not go up on the mounting. In a RL home, that would ruin it. Just slide them down, using the alt key, so they are in the same arrangement, just "framed" between the two white borders. Second suggestion, maybe match the woods on the frames? For your pool, remember you can change the wall paper to anything your heart desires, you do not need to stick with the standard blue. =P

The paintings were there before I changed the walls, so I didn't notice until you pointed it out. I've never been able to get the Alt key to work for me, so I use the Colon and Quote keys, which provides the same functionality. I'm still prodding everything, though the ground floor (excluding backyard and patio) looks to be close to complete, so there's a good chance to pool walls will get changed a some point.
chaoskishin >> No problems for the pics, that is why were are here!! You are really doing good with the design and adding little bits here and there. I'm so glad you are sharing.

:::waves::: Hi all! I know I'm sporadic in posting, but I drop in when I can and look at all the goodies!
chaoskishin - Your house is coming along really well! My only tiny suggestion... and this is just personal preference... is to hide the fire alarm behind the fridge. I know in a "real" house, you wouldn't do that, but in the sims you can tuck it (and the burglar alarm) behind things and they will still work.
Chaoskishin - Nice updates. The pool area looks nice. One suggestion about the paintings in the living room. The don't go well together. You have to find paintings with similar styles if you want to put them up together.
chaoskishin, that looks really good!
I think the wall behind the dining table still look a bit plain. Maybe add a miror or painting? Maybe put something on the dining table (plant/lamp/other decor item)
kateoverend >> that is a cute lil home! Kind of like a creamsicle! Gave up a rec! Thanks for stopping buy.
KylieS21 >> Oh, I know! I used it so often, I loved the extra wishes you got. This pack will be fun as they get a new trait! I'm about to head in, just registering and what not. Wish me luck!

I like to build fantasy based unrealistic houses. I haven't built much, but I plan on making a house soon. I like a nature inspired home with lots of yard space and a unique structure. I also like pagodas. I find inspiration in just about everything, but I'm a very creative individual as well as an artist.
SashikuChan >> Can't wait to see what you show us! I tend to go along those lines too. I have a harder time making a realistic house or sim! Hehe. Welcome aboard.
Yanti >> Ouch, that is a long wait! I was able to get into it right before bed, last night. I will post some pics tonigh!!!

I'm in the same boat with Yanti. Thursday or Friday before I get Uni. All the shiny will be worn off the rest of your copies by the time we get ours.
Evie - Whenever this song comes up on Pandora, it reminds me of you. I don't know why. Probably the name of the Band -- Spunkshine. The song is "Hemlock Switch-One". It's kind of a "groove" song. Don't know if it is your taste, but I thought I'd share.
(I'm not wild about the video, but then I never really watch videos anyway...)
Comments
Thank you for the comment
Yanti >> *sips tea with you...* Oh, btw, I spiked it with some "herbs". Gosh, I can't wait for Uni. I need to ore-order still, zoinks!
Gosh, I love this song:
I got some "inspiration" for my Avi from it. Hehe.
Evie, I agree it would be fun to build a loghome and the inspiration picture I posted earlier would be easy to try.

Quick question: Do people react badly to SimBost still? Or did SN fix that?
Modern starter home in white and orange

So jealous, I have to wait till next week.
I'm so excited to get uni back. I hadn't realised before but it was probably the expansion pack I used most in Sims 2. So excited. Have fun with it.

Kateoverend - Pretty starter. : I see you have used the new roof from Aurora Skies. Left you a recommendation.

SashikuChan -- I'm certainly up for seeing some fantasy houses!
kateoverend -- Evie stole the word right out of my mouth (keyboard??) - Dreamsicle. Very cute.
Snow, wow...a nice thread for me to lurk...Got it bookmarked.
Off to try out University Life, can't wait to go streakin', I so missed that from sims 2.
