Ooooh, another intriguing challenge! =) I never did get finished with the Olsen Extended Family Houses. Moved things around. Oh, and the tip of pulling the rooms out, creating them, and then putting them back in to create the shell worked beautifully! It really helped, thank you! I added a community pool, got Leroy and…
Thank you so much @BryonyRae for posting the link to this tutorial. I scrolled all the way to the top to check out the whole building tutorial and it was invaluable! If anyone has questions about any aspect of building, this is such a great resource! I just got done with it (slow reader) and I feel a lot more informed…
@Kulthero777 Yeah, there is a lot going on and it gets daunting trying to balance it all. Creativity is what I live for. I can relate to the guilty feelings... I've been spending so much time on The Sims, both 3 and now 4... My husband doesn't understand it, so he just gives me those "really?" looks... He's my total…
Oh My Heavens!!! That is GORGEOUS!!!! It never occurred to me to move the main house back and put the two on the sides like that!!! And... since the powers that be said that we can move the original house on the lot... oh my... this is making me want to do this challenge again... ahhh what to do what to do... (I homeschool…
Eeps, we seem to be dropping like flies... sigh... I don't think I'm going to make this challenge either. With my original Olsen build being in the middle of the lot, it doesn't leave a lot of room in back to make a proper looking house. Especially if you only have 1 story to work with in the case of the one being in the…
That was a cool idea, @pammiechick! And I am totally clueless on how to do a sewing room in TS4... There aren't even any sewing objects in TS4 that I am aware of... I'm not even sure I remember sewing stuff in TS3... ??? Not real sure how I am going to incorporate a sewing room... I'm stumped... LOL But the rest of it, now…
I am conceding this challenge. The Victorian is just way out of my scope of ability. For every step forward I thought I was taking, I took two steps back... I am still just on the exterior... and I'm not all that happy with it. I've demolished the better part of the house 3 times now because I wasn't happy with what was…
LOL I did a bit of landscaping first on this one, and it ended up biting me in the butt because I couldn't see through the trees to see what I was doing! LOL So, all the trees were scraped. (I think I'm bouncing all over here going from building rooms first, to shell, now landscaping... which way did my brain go?! LOL) I…
I hear ya on the windows and doors! Boy would that be helpful!!! I tend to build room by room. I select what furniture and items I want, then build the room shape around that. I usually never do the shell first. Although, it's becoming more important that I think of the shell first with these last couple of challenges,…
That is a great set! I love the mirror! And the chairs rock too! One thing I don't like though, is not being able to make the mirrors go to different heights. You can move them side to side, but not up and down. I would love to be able to place a mirror above the fireplace, but none of them are high enough to do that...…
Thank you, @FaithofKaela, for the clarification! And I think I'm with you, @DieterPrivate! I kind of want mine to be spookieish... lol But, I will keep in mind, that unless I want to stick around and train Mr. Green how to use everything in the house, to keep the technology down and work with what he would have been…
Cool! Thanks, @BryonyRae! I'll have to play around with the hipped roof and diagonal hipped roof. What did you mean though, that it only works with certain sizes? Is that the size of the elevation of the roof or the height size of the wall or the width of the wall? And as for the spooky... I guess I just assumed since it…
Okay, I'm having a doosey of a time trying to figure out how to do a round conical roof on top of my turret... you could do it with no problem in 3... but, the roof choices are very limited in 4 and for the life of me... I just can't seem to figure it out... and to me, my Victorian has to have a turret... Oh, and good…
That indeed was a bit terrifying and funny at the same time! But, here's another funny one! I had Mr. Green visit the Simtechior Design team house. I clicked on the oven in the upstairs Kitchen and told him to cook something. Get this... he went into one of the offices on the first floor, used the refrigerator in there,…
OMG! I didn't know what category I was in, but thought I'd check the results of the Established, just to see. And there I was! And I won the room challenge!!! Holy cow!!! Thank you so much!!! As for the feedback on the house, I didn't do much with the outside due to the fact that it was a penthouse and would be on the top…
Wow, your builds are gorgeous!!! I found your link through @rosemow's Showcase Thread post and thought I'd come take a look! I will definitely have to follow you in Origin! Your builds are amazing! =)
Thank you so much, @rosemow, for setting this thread up! It's an honor and pleasure to have my showcase thread link here! =) You are one of the best reviewers and I love reading your posts! =) forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/792753/kelsimmie-ts4-simtechior-designshttp://
Thank you so much, @rosemow! I so love your feedback! =) And I'd love to have my showcase thread there, I'm on my way to do that right now! Thank you again for your lovely words! I sometimes doubt myself and it's good to know I actually did something right and that my builds aren't terrible! =)

Okay all! =) I got official feedback from the Build n Share team! I thought I'd post it in my thread here. I got lost in the shuffle so I didn't get in the running for rank, but, then again, my entry was late, so all I really was looking for was some feedback on how well or how bad I did. I'm very pleased with the feedback…
EXACTLY!!! My husband and I constantly talk to each other while the other is on the pot... who cares? Yeah, sometimes it smells... get over it... lol We're human... =) (And yes, I have no shame... Sorry if this offends! LOL) Oh, and I was sooo tempted before I put in the open closet opposite the corner jetted tub, to put…
In the USA ensuite means that it is a full master bathroom attached to the master bedroom. The only way to get to it would be through that master bedroom, so the only ones that use that bathroom are the occupants of that master bedroom. This would be the most luxurious bathroom in the house. Most builders make the tub a…

Since there has been talk lately about how to delete duplicate entries, I thought I'd make a quick Tutorial. Hope it's okay to post it here, if not, let me know and I will delete it.

O!M!G! PERFECT!!! Thank you SO much! It worked!!! =) I didn't know about the Q and E keys, but they worked perfectly!!! I won't forget them! =) Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it greatly!!! =)
I'm not sure what I did, but I had it work for a split second, and I got out of camera man mode and when I went back in, it was back to open air... me is so not amused... lol I think I'll just give up for tonight and try again in the morning! lol =) (We're having severe thunderstorms anyways, so I think it's time to shut…
Thank you ever so much, @Lebanna!!! I've got some ideas on how to mix the textures, especially when working with stone, on the builds now that you mention it. Thank you very much for the positive feedback! I thought for sure that everyone would hate it and it would be awful! LOL I'm glad you liked the bedrooms! I had fun…
Hmmm... would making the walls bigger and lowering the windows help so that the roof does not impede them? Just a thought that popped in my head... Good luck, I hope you can make it work! =)
Nah... no need for the torches and pitchforks... if anyone can understand just how crazy life can get, it's me! LOL I never know from one day to the next how I'm going to be feeling. I finished the house this afternoon and then took an all night break... LOL Caught up on my shows on the DVR that have sat there forever...…
