So, I finally have a homework thread for the fabulous class taught by ruthless_kk. I recommend everyone take a look... just when you think you have nothing to learn, someone comes along and demonstrates such amazing things! (psssst: btw, I always have something to learn) You'll really like what you see! Look here:

:shock: You came back. Well, then I guess I better show you some pictures of what I learned. First, I'm going to post some pictures of the AMAZING house Ruthie walked us through building. I have not finished with the painting on this house, but I will do so, as I intend to play in this house. It is too fabulous to let sit as an unfinished shell. Then I will put up pictures of my homework house I tried to design, while not copying her design too much because it was so fresh in my head.
This one is finally painted to my liking on the outside, with some landscaping. Now to start the guts. I may also move to a larger lot.
OK, shutting up now, and pictures. This is the gorgeous build Ruthie walked us through. Front Angle:
Here we see the left side, with a couple of lovely porches:
The back... trust me, would be a lot less boring with painting, window placement and type, landscaping. You get the picture.
And this appears to be the only shot I got of the right side:
Fantastic, right? I'm going to love playing in that! Now, on to the one I'm doing for homework. Don't expect a Ruthie original, alright?
Here is the front, and I have gone through a LOT of paint to get here... if I had been using actual painters, I would be broke now.
Close-up of front porch detailing of posts, and landscaping.
Ground floor, heading around the left side of the house:
Left side, sort of angled to the front:
Left side, angled to the rear:
Ah, here we go, I found a direct full on left side view!
Here's my backside... Does it look big? :shock:
And I'll just do one picture of the right side, even if I do have 3:
That brings us around full circle! Now I'm off to finish the inside, and all the outside touches! Thanks Ruthie, this was such a fabulous lesson! ZOO U never lets you down! :thumbup:
Thank you everyone for looking, any constructive criticisms are always welcome... like I said, I am always learning.

Oh and the arched columns on the angled wall, with the stained glass windows... Stunning! The initial landscaping is perfect, and even love the beginnings of the wisteria climbing the back left wall!
Well done! Quite looking forward to see what you are able to do on the inside!
ETA: Your paints came out fabulous!
It is looking great! I will look forward to seeing updates of your home!

I agree on the foundation choice with an earlier poster. I love that for a choice for putting a foundation on top of the house, but find it unbalancing for the foundation. That's just me though.
Great job!

Rose, it is always so lovely to hear from you! Thank you for the lovely words! I'm going to start work inside, and fine tune and finish up outsides... I'll make sure to post more!
Yes, makes sense... I still have lots of outside work to do! Currently I have it sitting on a 30x30 lot, but I need to move to a larger lot because I cannot get any out buildings on there. I want to at least get a detached garage. Think I will move it now, before I make any more changes.
Thanks for all the great comments and recommendations!
Thank you, sweetie
Oh, fabulous! Can't wait to get my hands on it! :thumbup:
Wow, Yanti, what a compliment! I still have a long way to go, but thank you so much!
Love the front, the one side and the other side ... but especially the big backside of course!!!
Amazing exterior design and colour choice Miss Pris!!! :shock: ... Wish I could download and rec already!!
Can I ask how you built this: ?
I am talking about the round roof, over the porch, bottom floor to the right hand side. It is round, and supported by columns! Which roof did you use? Whenever I use the octagonal roof, I get roofing INSIDE my house, lol
Thank you Ezequiela! I will try to get the insides to make sense. Moving to a larger lot first! Thanks for looking!
Woot! *shakes giant backside... shingles fall off* :oops:
Thank you Hidehi! I'm ready to see more of yours!!!! :hunf:
Thank you, I picked up that trick from some of the amazing builders around here.
*cough* taryn *cough*
Oh, don't mistake, I am not magic... there is still roofing inside the house. The trick to not seeing it is *drumroll* don't put any windows in that area. If you look at the pictures of the house I painted, I have windows at the top, and windows at the lowest level... mid-level is just paint. You can put windows, but you will see the roof through them. You just have to pick your battles, and live with it.
Your Victorian looks Fabulous. I Love the color choices for the exterior and the lovely design of this pretty home.
Sadly, I have missed Ruth's class and will now have to take the make up class by myself... Seriously, I am really looking forward to her lesson.
I am also looking forward to more pics of this little beauty. Very nicely done so far!
You have captured the style and form well. Lovely build!
So is the space where the roof is inside the house usable space? Or does it become unroutable to the Simmies?
Very useable. It is just that nasty thing where you can see the pointy roof through the windows from the outside... if you have windows. You get that with a lot of roofing of different sorts. Inside, you won't see any roof, or have any effects from it.
Thank you Sue!! I think this style may be, um.... Queen Prisca! *shifty eyes*
Thanks Cath! You will love the lesson, she makes it so easy!
Ohh I see! So the roof doesn't affect them at all, and they can use the room and everything? Doesn't it become visible inside, or does it just vanish?
I didn't know this! Thanks!
