    Rapunzel's Retreat - "After escaping her lofty prison, Rapunzel decided living close to the clouds wasn't so bad. She had this tower built and loved it for years until she sadly tripped on her hair and fell off the balcony. Is your Sim brave enough to live the high life?"

    After fiddling around with a tower design I attempted to create a rather large castle using the new lot sizes. I was generally unhappy with the 4 story height limit so I compacted the tower into a very thin and tall design that I grew organically. It ended up looking like something Rapunzel might live in so I went with it and had a blast. I went from a 64x64 lot to a 20x20 and fit all that I could in this extremely narrow tower. Its definitely playable but not as ideal as your typical home due to the very tall and compact rooms and the way the game handles the camera when on the upper floors. Hopefully it fits someones fairy-tale :smile:

    *It is playtested and works fine
    *Please turn on bb.moveobjects before pasting it in your lot

    You can download it here

    Here are some images however I recommend looking in-game also!

    Throne of Winter - A very special thanks to everyone who helped me reach over 500 followers, 50,000 downloads and 50 creations! Its time to celebrate with my most ambitious project, an icey cold castle fit for a cool king! Its not perfect but I spent a lot of time tweaking it and doing my best so I hope you all enjoy! Its fully playtested but make sure you place in your game while using the bb.moveobjects cheat!

    You can download it here

    You will absolutely need Get Together to use this as its on the 64x64 lot. Other packs aren't as emphasized but still used.

    Here are several images but I recommend checking out in-game if you have the chance:

    Cody, I'm ridiculously late, but I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your most recent builds. In particular, I really loved Darling Medieval and Throne of Winter - they both had such a strong visual impact, and the details are great too. Hope all is going well for you in the New Year so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

    I became curious, also because I love that building on the left in your signature, and fell in love at page one <3 I'm going to try rebuilding it in 3, it's so sweet. And download it from your gallery when I start playing 4 again. The rest of the pages are for later, because my iPad is a bit slow ;)

    You've got some amazing talent, Cody. Just caught up and your Tudor builds are spot on full of detail and life. Great of ivy on those builds and Rapunzel's tunnel. Winter Throne looks gorgeous! Excellent lighting! Clever use of MOO. Love the throne!
