Caringale Manor

[Neashaleigh]

Hi all. I've spent the last week designing and building a stately manor. It's been very time consuming, but I've finally finished, and I'd like to present to you...


~ Caringale Manor ~

I do realise this house also has a lot of store items (sorry!) but I've given links and costs for each item for your convenience.
Also contains a couple of player-made patterns (using CAP tool) by a player called Bluemurder. The pattern was used primarily in the Dining room, and can be downloaded here and here. I highly recommend her patterns. They are awesome and all seamless.

As always, I appreciate constructive criticism in all my builds

I never comment on post, and I rarely download anything other than modern builds, but this one...simply stunning. I'm taking a final, but then I'm going to add funds to my sims account download all the store content and stare at this house for hours. I'm thinking of kidnapping a sim from France to live in it. Very awesome build.

Thanks I'm glad you like it

This is without any shadow of a doubt, the most magnificent build I have ever seen.  The amount of work you put into this is outstanding.  I would say you are one of the best builders here.  I think I'll just bulldoze my big, white castle in UC and replace it with this because this is so much better and more elegant and beautiful.

Then you surpass it by adding all the links and names of all the store items.  Wow.  Thank you so much for this house.  As Tru said, I am going to download it and just stare and stare at it.  It takes my breath away.

I love, love, love this! Now, which town should I put it in so I can play with it? Decisions, decisions. Good job!

Thank you so much

Wow ! This mansion is so elegant. I just love it. I don't think I could ever build anything like it. You've done a super great job. You're such a fantastic builder.

@Neashaleigh:

How long did it take you to build this masterpiece?

About 4 or 5 days. I didn't build steadily. Had many breaks as it's rather exhausting to build to this detail.
