Name of lot: Casa de Sierra
Link to research if not on this thread: I tried making a link to my inspiration pictures along with a brief explanation and when I hit submit comment, I got the message that my post would have to be approved first before it would post. I have gotten that message before on other threads and it never shows up. So, I am going to edit this to show a link to my inspiration pictures. The Pueblo style home is typically seen in California & the Southwest and they have massive rounded walls, which pretty much impossible to do in Sims, at least I don't know how to. They have flat roofs and my grandparents owned one of these homes and the roof was covered with gravel and there was a good size rounded lip on the top. A friend of mine in New Mexico bought a really old Pueblo home, and the walls were a good foot and half wide.
Description: I chose the Pueblo Revival style home. I grew up in New Mexico so I saw a lot of this type house and I thought it would be fun to try to create my version.

@Rosemow Thank you for taking the time to look at my entry and to comment like you did. You are always so nice. The animal on the coffee table in the living room is a pinata.
@snowdove58 I enjoyed doing the Pueblo and I will look forward to seeing your entry. Did you change your mind because I did one? I hope not, as I think it would be fun to see another one's twist on the same style.
As I side note, I know we can have 2 entries and I have debated with doing another, but even with the new computer when I am in the build mode, changing colors of stuff etc., the game keeps freezing up on me even with the new computer. I don't know what is going on with that, it is only when I am editing colors not doing saves, etc. I am also playing Sims 4, which the new pc runs perfect, but alas, no building contests for Sims 4. I don't even care about winning, I just enjoy the challenge.
@pchapman, do you have a lot of CASt patterns saved? If I am working on a build, I might save some of the colors and patterns to use again in another room. That slows down the CASt and can cause it to freeze up for some reason. Try deleting any you don't need any more and see if that helps.

lol. I save them all! How do I delete them? Just browse the categories?

If you want to save a few then yes and hit the trashcan when you've found them, they're usually at the bottom. If you want everything gone, move (or delete) the userpresets file from the Sims 3 folder, that's where everything from CASt is kept

Oops, sorry I didn't check back earlier. I see Sweet answered already. As Sweet said, just click on your saved pattern and then choose the trash can to delete each individually. I would suggest moving out the userpreset file first and then deleting it if you are happy without them all. Good luck and happy simming.
Soooo... Turns out I have too much store content, and my laptop doesn't like it. I doubt I'll get an entry completed in time. Especially since I still need to finish my build that was originally for the Zoo U contest.
