Hi simmers!
I wanted to share with everyone my current WIP, which is a recreation of the 19th century English manor house named Tyntesfield. The house is a beautiful country manor in the victorian gothic revival style so lots of turrets and painful looking spiky things all over the place. It even has it's own chapel
As soon as I saw the mini church I knew I had to build it 
Below are a few pictures of the building:

You can find the completed lot here on the TS3 exchange:

Latest WIP pic:
I actually started this project over 2 years ago, but it died along with the unfortunate hdd that housed it
But now I'm gonna give it another go \o/ and hopefully make it even better. As of right now I have the very basic shell complete so just 4 walls and a roof... :roll: (disregard color scheme atm)
As you can see my tester sim named House Tester...haha...doesn't have much to do so he's hanging out with his Siberian Husky named Bandit. I do care more about my pet sims so they get better names
Another bandit pic since he's more interesting than the house right now
I'll update as the project evolves and comments suggestions are welcome!

I LOVE your build, Fischio! I can't wait to see it through all it's stages!
@yanti68: Thanks! It might look symmetrical now with the clean walls and roofing, but just wait I'll be asymmetricalizing the heck out of it
@saitouamy: Thank you
@sherrylynn: Thanks! lol I wanted to call him torture victim number 10, but House had a nicer ring to it
I don't have too much in the way of an update, but I did want to dedicate a post to sharing a small tutorial on making decorative gables using cfe. I came up with this idea years ago in sims 2 when building Schloss Neuschwanstein. You can see what I mean in this pic of the roofing I've created for the gate of the castle in the first pic and how I utilized the same thing for my WIP in the second:
It looks good on old houses and period estates like Tyntesfield. I'll give a quick run through of the method.
Create your structure making it at least 2 stories and most importantly make it an even numbered width. The reason is to get the gable point with cfe. Using an odd number gives you a squared off top. It's 4 tiles here:
After I activated the cfe cheat, I used stairs placed on the flat roof to drop the floor tile down a distance equal to 3 mouse clicks using the terrain lowering tool. I then leveled from there to flatten the roof. Repeat this, but don't drop all of the roof down this time leaving a tile or two so you can get something like this:
We'll place the roof next but we need it flat to do so or it won't place so level a small portion of the floor like below:
Place the gabled roof, but not on the last back and front tiles or it will clip through the decorative fencing.
Then level from the front or back edge to get that middle section raised up again since the roof is now in place. To get the gable point simply go down a level and drag a wall down the middle:
Add the fencing on the gable and connect them on the top if you'd like to complete the roof:
Have a look at Bandit's brand new dog house:
Bandit is chuffed with his new diggs. House (my tester sim) gets to sleep outside of course.
Awww wandit wans wis welly wubbed
Oh look House grew another arm...looks likes somebody's feeling left out and wants attention...however useful they may be growing mutant limbs won't work Mr. House. I only have eyes for Bandit
-I am feeling quite goofy... I am off to iron my husband's clothes now so he go to an interview... crossing my fingers that he gets it!
You never know, House might get hitched even with the extra appendages. I was thinking of naming the kids things like Kitchen, Bathroom, Dining Room, Pool, Toilet...all with the last name Tester so you get the idea
I had a strange mental picture of you burning your husbands clothes when reading. My mental streams must have gotten crossed :XD: GL to your huz!!

I am seriously giggling over the kid's names! Poor Toilet Tester, how is ever going to live down that name? HAHA!
Thank you for sending GL his way!
Waiting the time of finish!
Also tutorial looks good,will try it when i have time! Question, did u use a fence for roof decoration? :oops:
@Sherrylynn: I would also think there would be strange looks when somebody in the house said they needed to use/clean/unclog the Toilet
@duyguugudur: Thank you dayguugudur! Yes, you can use any type of fencing to do this or even half walls which you can color as you like so you can get really creative
@yanti: Thanks! To my knowledge I've never experienced instability or routing issues caused by cfe. I have my tester walk all over the place and they always can get to where I point them. Any problems I've ever had are cc related :roll:
@60209060: Thanks. I guess I should have mentioned that I didn't do the color scheme yet :oops: I simply picked that one so everything would be plain and neutral. I like working with a blank canvas
The husky is adorable
Really great to see your tutorial too! I usually use a kind of 'construction tower' thing off to the side when I'm doing cfe work, so it's interesting to see someone working in a different way
It's so wonderful to have a look at your TS2 build too. What a stunner! Is there somewhere I could see more of that? I never did any building in TS2 so I am intrigued
Well that is a great trick! I usually add everything - furniture and colours, walls and floors - in the way they will look at the end of the process. I guess your way is much better. Thanks!
The tallest tower in the third pic is over 10 stories I think...we get 3 in sims 4 :roll:.
Update: As of now all the walls are in place and annoying cfe work is done \o/ Here's what it looks like now:
This was the color from 2 years ago, but I think it's a little too drab:
The walls still look a bit too sandy in color so I might increase the saturation to something like my Waddesdon since the RL versions are built with the same stone with that orangey color. I'll be adding more detail work to the facade as well then I'll be on to phase 2 - landscaping.
Sneak peek of one interior room:
I'm looking forward furnishing this one
Have you thought that you could change some part of the roof around the mansion? In real version it looks really cool and makes it to look way more better. Maybe just by using cfe or something...
The WIP is looking great!
