    Damon's bedroom, bath and balcony. Damon is kinda shy and prefers to work out in private where nobody can watch and tell him how they think he should do it. He is a dedicated athlete and is keeping up with his siblings even at his own pace. His favorite color is yellow.

    Chinups are a great way to warm up befor you start the real work out!

    Mandy Is irresistible and the scary part is she knows it and uses it to her advantage. :wink: She is athletic like all of the children but only when you aren't looking she really love to curl up with a good book on the balcony.

    Donforlor Oasis is such a very nice home! :) So many great details in it! It was very nice to go on the walkthough of it with you through the photos and accompanying descriptions of each area/room. It is great how you have designed and furnished each bedroom to suit well the sim that will be living/sleeping there, and the house as a whole is designed well to fit the needs of the family. Great way you have used the favourite colours of the various sims in the bedrooms and furnished the rooms with the items that suit well what their interests are in their lives. Great way that the bedrooms have their own balconies and bathrooms. Great layout of the home. Many great facilities that you have provided for the family to enjoy using! Great gym area with many equipment items for sims to use. It is great that sims will be able to work out using the treadmills and weights machine, as well as enjoy using the dancing bar and be able to swim indoors in the lap pool too. The sauna looks a great place to come for relaxing after the stress of a sims day. Great exterior design of the home. The wraparound porch looks great. Very nice outdoors areas! The gazebo and surrounding pond looks very nice, and would be such a relaxing spot to spend time in the hot tub. Great way you have done the outdoor pool decking area. Sims will enjoy relaxing on the loungers there, as well as enjoy cooking on the bbq, eating at the table, and having a drink from the bar outdoors in the sunlight and air. Very nice way you have done the plants and flowers through the outdoors. Great way you have built the green house, using the glass windows and the skylights. It is great that sims will be able to enjoy growing and harvesting their food plants either outside in the fruit/vegie garden or inside sheltered in the greenhouse. Great to have the 2 alchemy stations for creating lots of great elixirs to use to help in sims lives. Great family/gaming area to spend time having fun playing games, pool,listening to stereo music or playing musical instruments or having a read. It is a great place for the whole family to gather and spend time doing whatever they enjoy doing. Great design of the kitchen. It looks great how you have a breakfast bar there.
    It is a very detailed home with lots of great facilities for the sims who live there to enjoy using!Great designing, building and furnishing of it! The family will very much enjoy living in your home! It is a great home where our own sims will enjoy exploring all the areas and making it there own home too!:)

A great place to throw a big get together party with family and friends! Having a beach right by your house would be so AMAZING! :D The playground area looks like a fantastic place for kids to mess about with friends and just have a fabulous time! The garden gazebo area is absolutely stunning and so well landscaped! the landscaping in this place is just.... fantastic! I think the garden greenhouse section looks cute :P It's like... in a cute little spot there :P i love how in the gazebo there is a hot tub! Hot tub, hot tub, hot tuuubbbbbb!! lol! A great place to sit and relax and afterwards just chill by the hot tub on the little sofa bench you put down while drinking some nice fresh, cold, lemonade! :mrgreen: I love the wallpaper and flooring tiles you used for the living room area and also the colours of the couches! That rug looks really nice! The kitchen area looks really really nice as well with the green work tops! i love how nicely decorated the dining area is and while the guests sit and wait for the food they can watch it being cooked! i think those little plants really make the place feel a little more fancy and special! I love the attention to detail you used in the laundry room by putting those little bottles on the shelf! Really nice touch there! The office is just a lovely place to chillax and write stories! i love the aqua colours you used in the master bedroom and i really really like that rug with the wavy pattern! the green bathroom looks really neat! The gym area looks like a really cool place to work out and keep healthy and fit! It looks nice, bright and fresh! Another pool! Inside! AWESOME! :D i love how you added a steam room as well! The upstairs family game area looks like a really awesome place to play around with friends and family and have a go at forming a little band song! ... Of some sort :D i love the nurseries and i really like how you put a sports theme to Alec's bedroom and the bathroom to go with it looks really good!! I love how the other bedroom looks completely different from the whole house and matches the personality of Claire and what she is into! i really love the colour scheme in Damon's room and the bathroom for this looks really awesome as well!! i really like all the other bedroom designs and the pink of Phoebe's bedroom and how the bathroom is really lilac! I am IN LOVE with this house!
