The layout and design of your Christmas Village looks so very nice! @WhiteMojo The exterior design of the buildings looks very great! The snow covered roofing and ground, and the white blossom trees look pretty! Very nice design of the Village Church both the exterior design and the furnishing and layout of the interior ! The Church steeple looks great! It looks very nice how the Church seating has been set up, and the stained glass pictures on the front walls are very special touches. Very nice altar area. Sims will enjoy listening to pipe organ music during the service. The Bridge over the water is a nice touch. Very nice outdoors picnic tables sitting area near the Christmas tree. The seating around the bonfire is very nice. The fire will keep Sims warm.. It is great that there is a Pets training area, Very nice toy gift shop! It looks great how the items have been placed on the counters ready to be bought. The custom pictures that you have done for walls in the Village buildings add such a very nice look to the areas! Very nice furnishing of the book shop. The books look great on the wall shelves and on the pedestals. The pink and white colour scheme and floral wall pattern in the living room of one of the homes looks very pretty! The patterned floor rug is a nice touch, and the Christmas tree is very nice for sims to see as they rest there watching tv. It is nice that there is a cafe to offer food and drink from to enjoy eating and drinking at the tables.
It is a very nice Christmas Village!
Thank you Rosemow for your response and attention to all the little details I’ve included in my build. I wish you a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Just leaving a little comment on everyone’s villages and then off to hunt for them in the gallery to fav.
@StangMix2 Lovely village, everything works so well together to give the feeling of being in the middle of a very cold place. Your ice sculpture just superb!! Love the way you have decorated the house for Christmas with the alternating red & green chairs, the lanterns, presents and of course that adorable train.
@Ainsleyf Amazing build, all those gorgeous white buildings, love the way you have layered your village, particularly with the train running along the top, so that the village becomes nestled on the mountain side. Water feature is very pretty and oh did I mention that train.
@kimartist Your village is so quaint, it has such an old feel to it. Loved the children’s area and the outdoor café. Very lovely church and town centre. The water feature sets the whole scene so well. Mr & Mrs Claus were a real delight as well.
@kilra0 Beautiful build, love what you did with the roof of your church building and the interior is very elegant. Your ‘Ice Restaurant’ is to die for, just so exquisite. Such a happy little village where all the occupants can get together for a dance every week.
thank you very much @WhiteMojo we do what we can to keep us warm and healthy as long as we don't get skiers You did yourself a wonderful Italian styled church and the whole little town let me think of an piazza even those cute tiny house aren't much Italian The bridges are a wonderful idea and your Chirstmas shop is nicely decorated, I think my favourite place would be the bakery, I can almost smell cinnamon rolls and gingerbread.
I Figured Out Some Ways To Implement Snow and Snow Effects Through Watching Simmers Channel's On You Tube.... Sorry Not A Regular In Here ... Just Learning To Build Really............. LOL LOL I Want To Get A Holiday / Christmas Theme Build Done .... Happy Holidays
@Laebeth - very pretty! Looking forward to your village! @whitemojo - Very charming. Love the village and all of the artwork is awesome! And thanks so much for the kind words!
@Ainsleyf now I've run my Sims ragged checking out your village in game I'm amazed at how beautiful every single room, space, venue is. I'm a miniature doll's house collector and your build could so fit in my collection. (So hubby's pleased it's digital) Outstanding work. And thanks for your comment on my village.
@kilra0 Thanks for your comments, I'm glad the church is recognisable, good 'ol Google Images comes to the rescue again. Australia mostly lacks the deep culture that is found in Europe, so not much to draw on from here, & I live in the tropics so all that snow is looking very inviting right now.
@liel88 you can "make snow" by choosing a white floor covering.
Beautiful villages, everyone! I got behind with my village, but hopefully, I can finish today, so I can finish my half done (or more) country cottage lot for the Kringles.
I have a question: How do we connect to the in-game gallery today? I keep getting the try again message when I try to connect from the in-game gallery. I want to be able to upload my lots, when it's time. I've had this problem for 2 days.

Hello @coolsim9999999
I am sorry that you are having issues with the Gallery.
Try shutting down your computer completely. Start the computer again, then launch the game and see if that helps.
Try uninstalling and reinstalling origin and see if that helps
Thanks a lot @rosemow ! I'll try that. Will uninstalling and reinstalling Origin keep all my saved games from losing progress?
Hello @coolsim9999999
Uninstalling and reinstalling origin doesn’t affect your saved games.
You may though like to make a backup copy of your saves folder that is in your Sims 4 folder in case of other game issues, and place it on an external drive.
@coolsim9999999 - I didn't forget about the dog issue. I can't find anything on turning off the pets part of pets. I did look and there are things to keep strays off your property, but they can still hang out just outside of it. Putting myself in your shoes, I didn't think that would be good enough. I'll see if I can actually find out more, but not having much luck.
Thanks so much for looking into the Pets issue @Ainsleyf ! I really appreciate it ! Don't worry if you can't find anything. I agree that the dogs need to "be gone" altogether --- I would use a mod --- as long as it were a safe one from a credible site or any other safe way to just have cats in the Cats and Dogs EP.
