@cmbaker I love all the colors you've used so far! I almost feel like it could be a Farmhouse Victorian home with the fencing you have chosen, but I could definitely see it going in the gothic Victorian direction. Either way it looks great!
Thank you...and I don't really know the different house styles I had set out to do Gothic Victorian but ti did become another type of Victorian I'm glad it is seen as a Victorian I think I'll go the farmhouse Victorian direction as that's what a few have said
I'm in! I'm not sure, if I understood all the rules, since I'm not familiar with English shortening of the words, but one has to start somewhere. I have never entered a competition before, for there are so much silence in in this are in the Finnish forums I'm in.
I tought I'd try some Finnish styled house, but when I saw the foundation, I had to give up that idea, otherwise I would have already broke the rules by not keeping the style, for Finnish house sure doesn't have that complex foundation :D
Is this one round competition or will there be more, I'm sorry I didn't get that? It doesn't really matter to me, more rounds would actually be cool :)
And the style has to be realistic, not some sort of fantasy style?

Welcome Silvakristiina. I hope you will consider entering the contest. The foundation we must all use is indeed a challenge. If you cannot make a Finnish style house using that foundation, possibly there is another style you can make. Remember, you can turn the foundation in any direction you want.
Yey, already having a major problem! :D My Launcher doesn't work at all and I use CC Magic to launch the game. This means I cannot download the foundation -.- Is there any way I could build the same foundation by my self? I think I can count the location, but I would kindly thank if someone could check the correct location from the lot :)
Thank you ciane! Now I just need to fix my game, it has crashed five times already after trying to download the foundation lot :'D Things just can't go straight how they should when it comes to Sims 3... Or Sims 2 as far as I know :D Now I hope that the next time you hear from me I have something done... I can't wait!
Here is the foundation picture with numbers included.
Remember the lot can be turned any direction.
About the crashing...
Things you can do...
Add Sims 3 to your computer's Data Execution Prevention list.
Be offline and turn off your antivirus programs.
Delete four FILES (NOT folders) that end in cache (but not socialcache) in the Sims 3 folder in your documents.
Since the problem is with your launcher, try moving your downloads folder out of the sims 3 folder in your documents.
Also, move out the dcbackup folder. Then make a new dcbackup folder and copy back in the ccmerged file.
Lastly, you can rename your Sims 3 folder in your documents so a brand new one is created. It will not have any store stuff you downloaded, so you will need to add that back in.
Thanks ciane! :) I restarted my PC and drove CCleaner to do some cleaning up and got it working. I'm on my way to clean the whole thing and re-instal everything, but before that I'll try to manage with all these problems :D
I've got a new annoying question to ask: The point is to build an exterior to some architectural style, but does the interior have to be the same style? I mean if one builds a Jugend styled house (around 1880-1915) do the indoors have to match that time period? I understood that not, but I've got to check that out too o:)

There is no rule saying the interior has to match the architecture so for an old house you can still use more modern furnishings. I think it would look odd if it was ultra modern inside but of course it's up to you
Happy to see more interested people. I'm determined not to give in to Sims 4 quite yet!
I've been stalking this thread since it started and I have been working on an entry as well. I still have some finishing touches to do and will be getting it all together soon.
(*) (*) I do have a question, where do I put the post showing my research, here on the GG forum or someplace else?

I think she would start a new contest, NOT a new round.
A fantasy style sounds awesome, but I do NOT know if it that is allowed.

Okay, I set it down exactly opposite or 180 degrees off from the original post.
Here's another with it turned sideways and the walls down.
