    @yanti68 thanks my dear friend. I'm glad you liked my architecture and roofing. Hugs :D<3<3<3
    Happy 2015 to my fellow Simmers and builders! I hope you had a wonderful New Year with your family and friends.
    Tadaa! I'm presenting to you my first lot for 2015.

    Lot #7: Crayon Lodge
    Lot Size: 30X20
    You can download this lot here.

    Lot Features:
    >Crayon Lodge is a family cottage that is colored with crayons. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
    >The exterior wall design used white sidings, act as the piece of paper. From the front porch, there are two bences for sims taking a relax from outside.
    >Inside the house, you'll discover a foyer area divided with two rooms each sides. From the left side, there's a living area colored with secondary colors (such as orange, green, and purple), with a green bathroom. And from the right side, there's a kitchen and dining area colored with primary colors (such as red, blue, and yellow).
    >At the back, you'll see a back patio area colored with RGBY colors (that you see when editing a color in a computer, like color wheel). Sims can grill, seat, play guitar/violin, play chess, paint, and even swim in a pool. There's also a garden area with a gym equipment.
    >Upstairs contain a mini sitting area, mini museum, and another study area that is colored with warm colors. There's another bathroom between it colored with cool colors.
    >There are three bedrooms, such as purple masters bedroom, green kid's bedroom, and orange teens bedroom. They are both colored with a primary mixtured with secondary colors (ie: Green kids room is filled with blue, yellow, and green colors).
    >This lot costs §129,718. It suits on any 30X20 lot around Willow Creek.

    Builder's Major Challenges:
    >My first challenge here is the name. After Tutti Frutti Modern with fruit-themed colors and Choco-Berry Cupcake with dessert-themed colors, I was struggling because of I can't think of a color scheme. At first, it was supposed to be called Candy Cottage with pastel colors, but there are no pastel colored traditional furniture. So I ended up to be a cottage filled with primary and secondary colors (yeah, not indulging, but still colorful).
    >Another one is a side trim at the back, which I can't place it maybe due to a gable roof that sticks together. Ugh! If they should do the manualized trimming. So I ended up placing a column to act as a side wall trim, but it seems to be unimpressive. *sigh*
    >Last one is obviously landscaping. I'm not creative with that, because I can't choose and mess-up with plant very well. *sigh*

    @BryonyRae hope you don't mind but if you're available, can you MOO-test this lot please? I used a lot of MOO in landscaping, decors in bay windows, etc. Please also let me know about the result. Thanks. :)

    Hey Rye, great work! Crayon Lodge is very pretty :) I feel your pain when it comes to the lack of pastel-coloured furniture, but the colours you chose work well together. The landscaping is fine too :D

    The design of Crayon Lodge is awesome, great architectural work. The textures work really well, love the idea of white sidings as paper then colouring in the house with the different colour groups and shades, very creative :D

    Don't mind at all, Rye. Everything looked like it loaded properly, and that was without turning MOO on. :) Good work on it! I especially love the exterior.

    Very nice lots Rye! I really like how you made the exterior of the lot for Crayon Lodge! Tutti Fruitti Modern is also very cool. I really like how you stuck with the theme throughout the lot, exterior and interior. :)

    @marcel21 Thanks for complementing my latest lot. Bro hugs. :D

    @rosemow Once again, my life as a Simmer and builder won't be complete without your lovely complements. Thanks. Hugs. :D<3<3<3

    @WrathofCath I'm very pleased you commented on my Christmas Starter, thank you. I think I kept the cost down is because I don't have any skill objects nor a desk. And thanks also for complementing my Crayon Cottage. I'm glad you liked my layout and color choices. And thanks again for the fave. Hugs. :D<3<3<3

    @Cerrydd‌ Thanks. I know CASt won't return, but at least they should implement a color wheel instead. I'm also glad you liked my landscaping. Hugs. :D<3<3<3

    @Manssom Thanks friend. I'm glad you liked my color scheme, back patio, and roofing. Bro hugs. :D

    @masajo Thanks my dear friend. I'm glad you liked my architectural layout, design, and color scheme. Hugs. :D<3<3<3

    @BryonyRae Thanks for MOO-testing and complementing my lot. I'm glad you loved my exterior layout. I'll update my post and give you a credit. Hugs. :D<3<3<3

    @Sketch Hello. Thanks for stopping-by and your great feedback. I'm glad you liked my Crayon Lodge and Tutti Frutti Modern. Tutti Frutti Modern was my most favorite lot among of my builds, and I'm glad you liked it. Hugs. :D<3<3<3

    Thank you so much everyone for the great feedback regarding Crayon Lodge. I appreciate it. :D
    OK, after fruit-colored modern house in Tutti Frutti Modern, dessert-colored Victorian house in Choco-Berry Cupcake, and crayon-colored cottage in Crayon Lodge, I'm going to pause my Lots of Indulges and Colours project for now. Yeah, I know I still have one more lot, but I can't think of any architectural style and again, the color scheme. *sigh* :(

    Anyways, I'm going to build my first Mediterranean house in The Sims 4. I'm going to show you my sneak peek on my concept (only the front). Although this is my first time, I am not very sure if my exterior details are good enough. I'm still experimenting on it, just in case.
    Image deleted. Please proceed to my finished product. ;)

    Note: This is just a concept. Layout and design may change.

    Your new Mediterranean WIP looks very nice! :) The exterior design of the home looks great! Very nice layout of the home! It looks very nice how you have the sides of the home around the front courtyard. Very nice water fountain feature! It is nice that you have placed seat benches there for sims to enjoy sitting outdoors in the sunshine with the nice sight of the fountain to see. The curved front porch looks very nice! Very nice fenced and gated entrance to the property. The roofing lokns nice, and it looks very nice how you have placed the windows in the build.
    It is looking great! :)

    OK, it is very exciting that Outdoor Retreat Game Pack is coming tomorrow. I can't wait for the release of it. Sadly, I can't buy it, because I don't have a credit card. Not even have an availability of EA Cash Card in Philippines either! *sigh* :disappointed:

    I am sorry that you won't be able to get Outdoor Retreat because you don't have a credit card. It would be good if there was some way that you could buy a card in The Philippines so you could use it in Origin.

    @rosemow Thank you for the concern my loveliest friend! I hope I can get touch with EA so I can ask if there are any possibilities of having alternative methods in our country. Hugs. :D<3<3<3

    @yanti68 Welcome back my dear friend! :D
    Thank you for the great feedback regarding my two latest projects. I'm glad you liked my architecture on my Mediterranean project.
