    Oooooh I love it I love it I love it!
    I love those striped... sun... thingies... (out of words atm...hehe)
    and your little house inside a house, the gym and the whole feel of it!
    It's in my arabian palace savegame now. Do you plan on doing some more amazing arabian things for that neighbourhood? *smiles*

    Hey Light,

    It looks as great as I thought it would be :). You sure have a knack for these type of lots.

    If you haven't already, you should try your hand at the Tag Mahal to go along with the theme. You would definitely do it justice.

    J :mrgreen:

    Hey J.

    Thank you for the very kind comments.
    I am pleased. :mrgreen:

    As for Taj Mahal (or as named Palsama hal) I think I will get my hands on such a project soon. But well, there are other ones in progress. :wink:

    fantastic, I got it from tsr first but will rec. I love the striped tiles that are ment to be shadecloth of something. Big contrast to my latest lot, I just uploaded a starter :mrgreen: , anyway keep up your fabulous work.

    Hey Jason. :-o

    Thank you for the kind words the dl and the rec.
    I usually upload at TSR first as I am a select artist. :wink:

    But I also upload the lot to the exchange on the same day.
    The awnings were meant to enhance the Arabian theme. :mrgreen:

    And I must check your starter.
    Will look for your post. :wink:

    YAY! I am very happy Asante.
    I am so glad you enjoyed it. :-o

    Those striped things are called "awnings"
    And I didn't get your "little house inside a house"

    and yes, I am planning on working some Arabian lots.
    But yet, will keep that as a secret and won't reveal now. :P

    *whispers*
    Was talking about the little sitting room to the right and left of the entrance with the arches around that made it look a bit as if there was a cute smaller house inside a bigger one... it's not REALLY a house in a house... just looks a bit like that...hehe

    I thought that would be it.
    But yet, just to ensure. :P

    Those little spaces were for the lounge.
    Which are actually private lounge spaces for Simmies who love privacy. :wink:

    Hey Light! :D
    It's good to hear you're planning to make more arabian lots like this one. I was thinking you could build something really arabian-inspired for the team building contest (the new challenge is coming soon so be prepared).

    I hope it won't be too late to finish my newest lot if the challenge starts tomorrow, and I hope you like the interiors because this is the style I'm probably going to make.

    http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/85969.page#884195

    Last thing I'l have to do is ask Asante if she still wants to be the team's landscaper. She designs gorgeous outdoors and she's doing a great job right now. It would really be a shame to not have her in the team.

    Maybe you're not motivated enough...
    You should get featured and I really don't know why you've never been! You've got 4 times more rec's than me! :?:

    Your lot is absolutely beautiful. Awesome job. You got a rec from me. I love to build but I always have a hard time using the entire lot. I'm working on my landscaping skills. :lol:


    Also if you don't mind me asking, is your avi facing forward? Did you edit the default upload pic somehow? I've been wanting to know how to do this for sims, I know how to for lots. The search feature isn't very good on this site though. If you know how or have a link to the answer that would be awesome. :mrgreen:

    Hey Francis. :D

    I have a lot of sketches for new lots.
    So no worries, I would be able to do that. :wink:

    And I must agree, Asante should be the team's landscaper.
    I have more knowledge with Arabian lots, so I should structure.

    So I can't take the landscaper's position,
    But Asante now has seen my landscaping, so she must have got an idea. :wink:

    Well, I know how it feels.
    When I was working on this lot, I didn't even know where to start.

    I started structuring, and I even thought it was ugly.
    But as you can see, I had to leave that feeling and continue.

    The problem with me is that I want everything to turn out perfect.
    Its like I want a magical stick to make the lot. But you know going through the stages is important, to learn that nothing appears from the beginning its the results which is important.

    Now as for being featured. I will see if I can contact some guru's I know.
    I have been trying to contact them lately, but they are really busy. I will see what I can do.

    Hey TG. :-o

    Thank you for those kind comments.
    And for the rec. :mrgreen:

    Yes, I see many Simmers are facing problems with landscaping.
    But its actually easy. So no need to think that its hard. :wink:

    As for my avatar, the Sim was made at the creator's camp.
    I don't know why it appears as a front view. Maybe the programming was different back at January? I honestly don't know.

    Oh please! I want you to get featured not to get back to building.
    But as you deserve being featured. :wink:

    i won't beg.
    This is nothing. Looks, here is what I am thinking to write.

    Hey (won't mention the guru name here)

    How have you been?
    Fine I hope.

    I was just wondering if you could take a look on this page.
    I really love those creations here.

    This builder has a lot of talent.
    And I think she deserves being featured.

    Something like that.
