    Well this was a tough challenge.

    Ashley1693 - It says your lot has World Adventures stuff. It could be the slide or the pots and pans hanging in the kitchen. I'm not sure about any of it. I love the office in the master suite and the baby gate.

    aml1855 - It says you have Late Night stuff. It might be the guest bedroom shelving or an outside plant. I'm not sure about any of it. I really like your pool and your use of white throughout.

    nikkifin - It says you have Ambitions stuff. I'm pretty sure it's your jungle gym outside. The only thing I think came with the original was a swing set. I love the rug in your sitting room and nice fountain in the pool.

    JGrocks - It says you have Pets and World Adventure stuff. Also, you were over the $150,000 budget. I think the EP stuff may be the fuseball table and the umbrella, but again I'm not certain. I really like your pool.

    Fixed it i think. It was the ivy tower in the back yard. I took it out and replaced it with a hedge. it shows that the jungle gym is in the sims 3 pack. It might be because my original game was the sims three with the ambitions ep included. I used the filter for the entire house so if its not in the original its a glitch in my system. Hope it works now. Thanks again for letting me know. Happy Siming!!!

    your having the same trouble I did it's your plants the white hydrangas are from a later thing that brown rock, none of the brown ones are from base. and maybe the fir tree in the front there I can't remember if that one was base or not. Nice work on the wallpapers upstairs I like them, you did a better job than I did with the bunnys^^

    Sorry. I had it in my head that the budget was $155,000. I will check about the objects, i think it could b a pattern or somthing than could of been from an ep ? Also my lot is in the town that comes with pets would that have something to do with it ? I will re upload the lot by sometime next week after ive got back from my weekend away.

    JGrocks - I don't know about the town. Anything is possible. Good luck!

    Amby316 - It does say you have pets and ambitions stuff. I think ZYIsSims is right about the plants. Although I love the rug in your living room and the his and hers closets in the master.

    ZYIsSims - LOVE your pool! I also love the kitchen and living room wallpaper and the room divider was a nice touch. Love the grandmother bedroom downstairs as well.

    Thanks for the compliments on my wallpapers. I finally found ALL the EP stuff, lol. It was the guest/nursery beth room wallpaper and my landscaping. Should I take new pics if I changed the outside plants?

    Darn I will have to keep checking. It might be a floor or wallpaper. This is my second entry so still trying to figure all this out. It's tougher than I thought. I only have ambitions. LOL

    Oh boo. I was almost finished with my design and then I saw that we had to keep the completely white exterior windows WHITE....eww but it's too late to turn back now. Quick question though before I start recoloring my entire house....do I have to keep white trim on the windows inside as well?

    Name: Greenowl77

    Link to Media: http://s450.photobucket.com/albums/qq225/greenowl77/Build%20N%20Share%20Big%20Budget%20Craftsman/ *Note- the constrainfloorelevation cheat left some holes in the ceilings from the bottom level looking up and for some reason the white downstairs ceilings appear black on the screens*

    Optional Challenge: N/A

    Level: Advanced (I remembered to put this on my entry form this time LOLZ)

    Lot Size, Address and Final Cost: 40X40; 16 Puddlewick Drive, Twinbrook; 149,752 (This includes vehicles for the happy couple)

    Lot Description and Details: This charming craftsman style home will be sure to delight the new homeowners for years to come. This lot includes a stunning fenced back yard and plenty of sturdy woods inside and out. The master bedroom is adjacent to a three room personal care suite which includes a powder room, private toilet and spacious bathing area.

    Constructive Criticism:
    Sure

    Credit to Simmers for Custom Content Used:
    None as per challenge instructions

    Note **When I uploaded the lot it lists itself as having items from pets and world adventures used, I double checked the lot but I can't find them. I think that maybe there is a terrain pain in the pond under the water or beneath the trees**

    **UPDATE**The mirror in the master bedroom is from Pets, as is the wallpaper downstairs in the main living space and the horizontal Clapboard on part of the exterior is from ambitions (this occurred because the game does not identify all the wallpapers properly part of the horizontal clapboard is shown as ambitions and part is shown as base game which can't be right. It also shows Ambitions because I built in Twinbrook. So I think its a world adventures paint that I can't see because I changed the paint numerous times over the course of the build.
