It looks really great @seaben. Did you try some two story columns to see if they looked better than the two single-story ones?
I did but I decided to have two single-story ones because it looked closer to the real building but I'm probably going to change the columns on the round section by the river because I realized that in that section on the real building the columns go all the way up thanks for taking interest @ciane
i'm not sure if my replica of saint marks basilica is a perfect replica but keep in mind i'm not using store content does everyone think i'm doing ok so far tho here are pictures of the exterior https://imgur.com/a/aWO5sVs
Coming along very nicely @seaben . Yes, I was also thinking the 2 high columns would look better then noticed the stacked singles matched the inspiration. If you’re keeping the single height columns I would suggest you use alt when placing to nudge them slightly so the colour doesn’t get blacked out. Sometimes if you just rotate them that works as well. Another potential consideration is where you’ve used the stained glass inserts, you could perhaps MOO windows since they do show through nicely. Great idea to use the weather vanes as dome toppers. If you have a lighter roof pattern I think that would match the inspiration better. Looking forward to seeing the interior 🙂

I would claim the ranch if its a residential lot @soocoolsim, I'm too rusty on my community lots as far as making them with the seasonal markers and I wouldn't want to indulge in that at the moment! So if its fine being just a residential lot I will claim it! Let me know!!
@Jessabeans , I hope all is well and you and family are safe. Missing you and hoping you haven’t given up on us. When / if you get back into creating, do you think you would be able to add a new lot (min 20x20 but optimally larger) lot into the Alpine area for the autumn festival?
I'm still here, just far less than I would like to be.
Sure I can add it. I placed Hollowness's versions from the wiki https://the-sims-3-exchange.fandom.com/wiki/Hollowness:Cakes_&_Crumbs_Bakery_and_Cafe to see if she was okay with the placement. I do not think they were her finished version for the world, but I understand she's stepped away. I can reinstall them and see if more items will show up properly.
Great to see you here @Jessabeans ! I was thinking wow, you’ll have so much catching up with all the new lots to be added to the world. The past few months have sure been quite an adjustment, more for some than others.
Now you’ve confirmed ok, I’ll add the autumn festival lot open for claiming on page 1 with lot size TBD by whomever wants to officially claim this.

@soocoolsim the moo window trick worked really well thanks for the advice and that is the lightist roof pattern I could find I will consider changing the columns to two-story columns sense you and @ciane both thought that right away
Let me know if anything is amiss, and I will fix and send the file in email! I had a lot of fun working on this one, Thanks again for letting me join in!
NOTE: Removed items @romagi1 & @soocoolsim listed and have sent them an email of the edited version!
Dilly Horse Ranch is perfect @BreeMiles . I love the different buildings and beautiful landscaping. A lovely addition to the world. Well done! Link added to page 1 🌟😃

@BreeMiles I hate to be the bearer of bad news but there are items in your Dilly Horse Ranch that are not on our visual list of allowed store items. If anyone sees something I marked incorrectly please let me know!
Not that there are not items I would love to use like the crib and the bunny photo wall hanging!
Now off to do the fun stuff like check out all your pics!
It was my understanding that the sets are being installed by allowed item only but the Venues are being installed complete. So I have added a few more pics of the Venues that @HollownessDevour used in her build. Should have done this sooner as I discovered something I had Really wanted to use was in my last build and thought it was in a world not be used but found out today it was in a Venue we are using!
Correct me if my understanding of how we are installing sets and Venues is wrong.
I will try my best to replace them, as I had said before a lot of my store items are showing up as base game items! I will see what I can do with it an email a copy to one of you all later!
@romagi1@soocoolsim sent you a email with the edited version, let me know if you need me to remove more!
& P.S. if I need to send a copy to anyone else, and truly the items were not added intentional!
@soocoolsim and everyone who wants to download saint marks basilica i've finished it and you can download it here https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9381166 you now it's funny it took 2 weeks to build the exterior but it only took 2 days to furnish and @BreeMiles i'm sorry to hear about the horse ranch having extra store content but it does look really good for building it soo fast
@romagi1@soocoolsim sent you a email with the edited version, let me know if you need me to remove more!
& P.S. if I need to send a copy to anyone else, and truly the items were not added intentional!
Yes, I understand @BreeMiles . I also have the same problem with some store objects not flagged. Thanks for modifying the lot. I’m not sure how to get the updated file to @Jessabeans since I don’t have a file sharing account. Perhaps you could send her a PM to obtain her email or other method?

Hi @romagi1 , the only venues that should be shown are the ones that Jessabeans indicated she installed (as identified on page 1). She did mention in her recent post on page 68 that she added HollownessDevour’s lot for placement, however it may not be the final world version so I don’t think you should go by that lot.
Re the sets... hmm, this was discussed here so I think your list was probably correct. Hope this helps somewhat Rox.
* * * * * * * * * * Let’s keep in touch on Answers HQ until the new EA forums are launched in July!
Oh good! All the ones I added are on the list, the Toy Shop, Daycare, Greenhouse, Boardwalk and Skylight Studio. And found 2 more things I had wanted to use but was too lazy to check out all the Venue items! LOL
Just added Al Fresco, Now and Then and Gramps Grove to it also. They are on the list too.
@suzses Great job on furnishing your Paris apartment and coming up with a good layout for that u-shape. I love how you decorated the living room and your public spaces look great too!
@Hidehi, your venue lot looks fantastic. Great recreation from your inspiration building and looks like it will be a fun lot!
@BreeMiles, your Dilly Horse Ranch looks amazing. Love the colors and the grounds look fantastic. Cute name for the ranch! (Sorry you had to replace the rogue store items--I guess we're all in the same boat with store items not being flagged as such, as my game is the same way, so annoying!)
@seaben, St. Mark's Basillica looks like it was very challenging to create, but you did a great job! Usually the interiors take me so much longer to do than building it, so well done getting it done so fast.
I started one of the lots I've claimed, but ran into some problems as all of a sudden my game keeps crashing to desktop, so have some things to try.
Good luck with fixing the crashing problem @Sandraelle! Maybe just saving your build and starting a brand new sims folder to place your lot in will help you.

Thank you @ciane. I spoke with @romagi1 and that's what she suggested as well, to start a vanilla game and then copy and paste my mods, dcache, etc back in. I was leary of using the previous lot in my new game so I started my build over (again!), and so far all is working ok.

Thanks for checking the list @romagi1 . That's a lot of rogue items we unfortunately don't have allowance for.
@BreeMiles ... could you replace the items that Rox flagged for the world lot version please and thanks.
