    Cottage by the Sea is such a beautiful build and perfectly sited. The outdoor areas are absolutely gorgeous and I love the gardening plots. The soft blue palette of the interiors is so beautiful, you have really nailed the coastal theme, a true masterpiece :)

    @BreeMiles, Thank you sweet Bree! I think the link is working okay? At least it works for me but who knows... Maybe the Gallery was just being finicky earlier?

    EDIT: Okay, so yeah, now it's not working Bree but none of the links I'm trying are right now. Even one's from other players builds. I think the Callery is having trouble. Again. Sigh.

    Hello :) The link is working okay for me too. There was Gallery issues earlier though,and many simmers were unable to access the Gallery.
  • WrathofCathWrathofCath Posts: 4,419 Member
    @rosemow, Ahhh... Thank you Rose! I'm happy to hear that the link is working. :smile: But I guess now it's my turn to have trouble with the Gallery. I am trying to add a new build here but I'm having no luck getting anything except "Oops" on the Gallery right now. Guess I'll just put the post in now and edit later or tomorrow, to add the link. So weird...

    Achin' Back Farm
    4br, 3ba.
    Lot Size: 30x20
    Cost: $67,900

    Gallery Link

    I wanted to try building something using just the new Laundry Day Stuff pack and Base Game only. I wanted it to be really rustic and barebones but hopefully still cozy and cute, so I decided on a little farm house. I tried to keep the cost down as much as possible. On that note, I used the fish pond from Debug and tried sizing it down with our nifty new ability. I was psyched when it actually worked! Only later on did I realize there's one small problem... sometimes when you re-enter the lot, the *water* shows around the edge of the pond. So annoying. It's an easy fix though. All you have to do is grab the pond while in build mode and immediately place it right back down. Voila! Problem solved. :blush:

    So here it is:

    Side of home with the garden. All the fruits, veggies and herbs are perfect quality and ready for harvesting:

    Back of the home:

    Left Side of home with the laundry facilities, aka washtub and clothesline :p

    The exterior design of the Achin Back Farm home is very nice, and the outdoors areas look great! :) It is a great name for your build! It looks nice how you have used the terrain paint to do the curving pathway. The roofing on the farmhouse looks very nice, and the wraparound porch is great! Sims will enjoy sitting there in the outdoors air. The cow looks great on the roof! The left and right open shutter windows are a nice touch. The flowers are pretty on the edges of the porch. Sims will enjoy fishing in the pond. The outdoors Laundry area looks great! Sims will enjoy using the washtub to do their washing, then drying the clothing in the sunshine on the clothes line. It is not good though to get an aching back from washing the clothes! Very nice fenced gardening area for Sims to enjoy growing and harvesting plants. The outdoors dining nook corner is very nice for sims to enjoy cooking on the grill and eating outdoors under the shade of the umbrella. Sims will enjoy painting on the easel in the sunshine.
    Very nice layout and furnishing of the interior of the home! The open kitchen, living and dining areas look warming and homely. The texture of the kitchen cabinets and counters suit well a farmhouse kitchen, and the type of dining seats used look homely and nice. The woodwork items on the new shelving in the dining area looks great! The wall wreath looks nice there and on the walls throughout the home.The sunflowers are a sunny touch to see when dining. Very nice fireplace sofa seat sitting area! It looks a warming place to rest, watch tv and listen to gramophone music. Sims will also enjoy using the computer at the desk table. Very nice furnishing , wall patterns and colour schemes of the master and kids bedrooms! The pink colour of the girls bedroom is very pretty! She will enjoy playing with the dollhouse .The gingham wall pattern looks nice in the toddlers room and the different sized bunny pictures are cute! The teddies in the kids rooms are very cute also!
    It is a very nice farmhouse build! :)

    Achin' back huh? Just looking at that wash bucket and clothes line has my back achin' already. :-p

    So much character. Gonna have to download this one and actually PLAY for a little while. This one calls for a grumpy ol' southern hermit who isn't afraid to put those "not so nice" signs on his front lawn. :-) I think I'll name him Bubba Boudreaux, after my cousin. HA!!

    Perfect!!

    @rosemow, Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, Rose! Thanks also for the link to the Gallery! :) So very sweet of you to go to the trouble of putting it here! <3 I got a chuckle out of your comment about getting an aching back from using the washtub :p. I'm very glad we don't have to rely on those nowadays, to get our clothes clean, lol! :D

    @follyfoot, it's always so lovely to see you, Folly! Thank you for your very kind comments and for the visit. :blush:<3

    @Sandraelle, Thank you for stopping by and for your lovely comment, Sandra! Very much appreciated. :smile:<3

    @BreeMiles, Thank you for the sweet comment, Bree! I'm glad you're not having trouble with the links anymore. They're still not working for me. I'm sure it's a little glitch that they'll fix eventually. At least I hope so! :p

    @Cassee, Oh Cassee you do make me laugh! :p:D:D Thank you for your wonderful comments and for liking this home well enough to play with! That is always the BEST compliment to receive. :blush:<3

    @masajo, Thank you so much for your Awesome comments and for taking such a thorough look, Christine! So very sweet of you and very much appreciated! :blush:<3

    @soocoolsim, Thank you so much! The new Laundry Day pack has some really cool rustic items that came with it, like the wash tub and clothesline plus a lot of other decor items. It was a lot of fun trying to make a home to suit that style of living. :blush:<3

    I seem to be on a "farm" kick lately. :p

    This farmhouse has five bedrooms and three baths. In addition to the usual rooms on the first floor, this home includes a game room, laundry room, enclosed porch and the master ensuite. Upstairs has a toddler/nursery room, one for girls, one for boys and a guest or maybe teen room. Outdoors has tons of fun things for a family living the farm life. There's the farm of course, with all perfect quality fruits and veggies. There's a large outdoor kitchen and entertaining area, a nice sized play area, a fire pit, horseshoe game area and a swim-able pond. Just off the master bedroom, is a private little porch with a hot tub and mat for yoga. There's plenty of room for the family dog and cat too. Playtested :)

    Countryside Farm is such a very nice family farm themed home! :) The exterior design of the home and the layout of the build looks so very nice! It is a very detailed and special home! Very nice outdoors areas! The landscaping work looks so very nice! The flowers and plants look so very nice through the outdoors! Very nice outdoors kitchen and bar patio! Sims will enjoy cooking on the bbq and dining at the umbrella covered table there in the outdoors air.
