Humble Beginnngs is a very nice starter! The red and white colour of the exterior of the home is very nice. The front porch is nice. It looks nice how you have used the spandrels, and the open shutter flower box windows look pretty. The yellow flowers are nice sunny touches either sides of the front steps. Nice layout of the interior of the home. It looks nice how you have placed the kitchen cabinets above the windows. The pears picture is a nice touch on the kitchen wall. The coat stand is homely for sims to see as they enter the home. It is great that the house has an unfurnished spare bedroom as well, for when sims have more money and have children.
I will look forward to seeing your finished WIP

Thank you Rosemow! I'm really glad that you like 'Moving On'
I have another update to share in regards to my current WIP. I have completed the landscaping for the front of the house and I'm currently working on fitting out the back garden with a patio area (complete with a barbeque and birdbath). So far I've spent over 20k on plants! Now that I think about it, I think I've spent more on the landscaping than I have the building itself! Anyway, I hope you all like it! I'm hoping to finish it at some point tomorrow.
The landscaping of your WIP looks very nice! It looks very nice how you have done the pathways! The flowers and plants look very nice how you have placed them! Nice gated entrance to the side area of the build. I will look forward to seeing the finished build
Well it's taken me a few days and quite a lot of headaches. I spent several hours trying to achieve the correct look in the foyer as the columns kept adjusting in height to the friezes outside meaning I had to alter the landing quite a bit. When I loaded up the game this morning all of the terrain paint at the back of the lot had disappeared so I had to redraw it all today. Anyway, it's finally complete. I've put an awful lot of effort into the details with this build, going so far as painting the terrain around each individual fence post in the garden to give a more realistic look. It's certainly the most landscaped build I've ever done and the interior decor has been kept elegant and upmarket throughout. I really wanted to capture (and I hope I have!) that Victorian middle class look. So, without further ado...
The Elizabeth

Elizabeth is a very nice Victorian home! The exterior design of the home is very nice! The colour of the exterior is nice, and it looks very nice how you have placed the windows in the build. Very nice covered over front porch! It looks nice how you have the two sections of steps. I wrote about the front garden landscaping and fencing before but just wanted to say again that it looks very nice! Very nice backyard area of the build! The flowers look very pretty how you have placed them in the corner there, in the side garden, and throughout the outdoors areas! The birdbath is a nice touch there.

Nice side wall study desk area for sims to enjoy using the computer at the desk. The pictures on the wall add nice touches in the room. The wall tiling in the kitchen is nice. The colour of it looks nice with the brown cabinets and counters. The hanging pans are a nice kitchen touch on the wall for sims to see when cooking meals. Very nice dining room!

Great builds! Gonna follow you on the gallery so I don't miss any!
ETA I WAS gonna follow you but the gallery says I can't. LOL so I'll just keep an eye on this thread instead. :-)
Your three new additions are very amazing!
*Humble Beginnings - Very nice architecture, furnishing, and great price too!
*Moving On - Gorgeous architecture, especially with the roofing, your landscaping is very lovely too and wonderful interior. Adding this to my faves.
*The Elizabeth - Awesome Victorian house with great roofing, lovely landscaping and furnishing. Adding to my faves.
Gonna love them!
Hey everyone! I'm so sorry that I've not been in the thread recently; I went back to work at the start of this week (holidays never last for long enough right?) and my evenings have been largely filled with TV (mostly the UK soap which celebrated it's 30th anniversary on Thursday and concluded a ten month long storyline which had kept us all guessing 'whodunnit?' Anyway, I'm glad to be back and I'm already searching for some great new house plans which I can turn into stunning creations in TS4. I'm also thinking about the types of community lots I would like to build first but I might hold off until GTW is released; I'm sure once it's out I'll be building plenty of businesses and not many homes!
@Rosemow - Thank you as always for your in-depth review of The Elizabeth. I'm very glad that you like the build and I'm particularly pleased that you like the landscaping so much; I was a bit worried I had overdone it!
@Victoriae350 - Thank you! I'm never really considered myself very talented with my TS builds but I'm very pleased that you find I am. Be sure to keep track of this thread and let me know what you think of my future builds!
@Kelleygirl - Thank you so much, I'm really pleased that you'd like to follow me on The Gallery and that you will keep tabs on this thread! I'll look into the issues preventing you from following me and if I find a solution I'll be sure to let you know!
@Yanti68 - Again, thank you for taking the time to pop into my thread and thank you very much for your kind comments! I'm really pleased that you like the interiors of my builds; I've always worried that my interiors aren't actually very good but it's very reassuring for you to say that they are.
@Masajo - Again, thank you for your comments and I'm very glad that you like The Elizabeth and in particular the interiors and landscaping of the build. They were the areas which had me worried (I was ecstatic with house the building itself turned out) so I'm very pleased that you like them.
@RyeCris16 - Thank you very much! I'm glad that you like my builds and in particular that you are adding 'Moving On' and 'The Elizabeth' to your favourites, it means a lot to me!
Thank you all so much, your comments are very kind and also very encouraging. I really enjoy building in The Sims series but to know that other people appreciate my efforts makes it all the more worthwhile, thank you very much!
I will hopefully be uploading two lots in the next week (one is already almost complete) and once I have some nice WIP pictures I'll post them for anyone who would like to see them.
I will look forward to seeing your new build when you have finished it, and it will be great to see the WIP pictures of your other build. Enjoy Simming and working on your builds
Thank you Rosemow, I'll be posting WIP pictures over the weekend.
Hey everyone! I'm really sorry that I've not posted any updates recently; I've been very busy with work and I've spent most of my spare time typing things up (for work). Anyway, I just wanted to show you a glimpse of the new frame I'll be using to showcase images from my builds. I'll still post full screenshots when announcing a new build so that you can see a lot of the detail of the build and I'll also link each build on the front page to the post in which it was announced. I'm hoping that this will make the front page of the thread look a lot tidier. Anyway, here it is:
The Elizabeth is very beautiful. I 'm glad you got some time away from everyones favorite pass time called work I really love your relaxing backyard. Oh and the white picket fence is darling.
Hello. I take a look at your creations and I must say that all of them are great. I see that you like classic style but you sometimes reach a modern style. Bravo ♥
And sorry for my short and general comment but I'm still learning English and I'm not very good at it yet! So, please forgive me all mistakes I've made :)
Hey everyone! I'm so sorry that I've not been to this thread for such a long time; I've had lots of stuff going on in the real world and I haven't had much time for Simming. I'm back now and planning to start my builds again (once I can get over this bout of builder's block) and I would just like to thank you all for your kind words regarding my lots.
Now, business. I want to start filling up Newcrest but I am having MAJOR trouble finding inspiration for anything other than houses. Which is a tad upsetting as what I really want to be building is businesses. I think I will probably end up starting a completely fresh game and demolishing everything from Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, and Magnolia Promenade so that I have a completely blank canvas in all four 'worlds' (I use the term loosely). That way I can build exactly what I want just where I want it (I think a lot of my trouble is that I just can't imagine Newcrest housing anything other than residential lots; none of it seems aimed at commercial buildings). Once I've started work and I have some WIP images to share I'll post them here. It's good to be back!
Your WIP of the retail store is very nice! It looks great how the entrance area is on an angle. The flower box windows look very nice! The awnings are nice touches over the lower level windows. It looks nice how you have placed the bay window on the top corner angled wall.
Enjoy working on your build!
Thank you Rosemow! I have been working on the lot and updated the exterior. I have added street lamps, planters, changed the pillars, and updated the awnings to a blue colour. I have also begun work on the interior. The building will house a premium clothes store.
Your WIP is continuing to look very nice! The hanging flower basket street lamps add a nice look to the build and the plants look nice either sides of the front entrance area. The signage is a nice touch on the front exterior. It is great that it will be a clothes store.
