Main Text –

Before I start with the story of this house, as usual if there are any world builders out there looking for someone with whom to collaborate on lots and architecture and like my creations, let me know, I would be most interested. The series I am creating now does not have any general themes (although because I am not very creative with titles, they will all be given French names so I don’t think too long about it hah) but it will be breaking a few CFE rules and focusing on details. This latest house is most certainly my most intricate one yet. Titled Le Guetter (The Watcher), it was built on a smaller lot than usual since I know not everyone likes giant lots.

Backstory –

In the fall of 2001, eccentric billionaire Nore Negonc thought it might be time to go back to school. Having recently amassed his fortune, Nore Negonc endowed a generously sized library to the Llamaworts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a small token of his admiration. Coincidentally, he was also that same semester invited to start studying at the school. After being sorted into House Llamahoof he decided the house’s living quarters needed to be rebuilt. He immediately thought to style it after one of his favorite mythical creatures. Thus was created Le Guetter, where generations of Llamahoofs study the ancient arts of magic and collaborate to win the House Gold each year.

Details –

As I mentioned before, Le Guetter is definitely and by far the most intricate of my creations so far. There was definitely a heavy use of CFE false, and I utilized a great deal of time designing the outside. For this reason and a few others, I decided to leave it unfurnished on the inside. I did wall off rooms for you as well as create a few doors and most of the windows, but other than that it is entirely unfurnished indoors. Some of the key features of this house include its actual form (obviously lol), the flower fountains in the front, the underground garage, the  squirrel swimming area with water slide and the gazebo featuring a small outdoor cooking area.

Front – Here we can see a general view of the front. It features most of the house including the fountains in the front, the underground garage and the detailed wing design. The front door is through the mouth, but there is also a small room in the tail (see images below).



Above – Here we can see a general view from above which includes most of the house.



Entrance – Here is a much closer look at the entrance. You can see the front door clearly as well as the entrance chandelier that is hidden in the roof of the mouth. A small set of stairs is utilized to get you from the ground into the mouth.



Ground Floor – Here you can see an overview of the ground floor. Starting from the bottom left going clockwise you see the underground garage (note the stairs that lead to the second level of the garage), tail room, outdoor kitchen, gazebo, swimming area, archway, front fountains and mailbox area.



Floor 1 – Here you can see the layout for the first floor. While the rooms are not furnished, I can list what I intended them to be – starting from the bottom left and going clockwise – study and library, main hallway, bathroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, guest bathroom, entrance hall.



Floor 2 – Layout for the second floor. Again unfurnished but again from bottom left going clockwise – Bedroom 1, ensuite bathroom for Bedrooms 1 and 2, Bedroom 2, master bedroom, master bath, main hallway. 



Roof Floor – Not much to see here besides the entirety of the wing design.



Front2 – Here we can see the front from a dramatic angle. You can clearly see the front door now. The windows on the hind leg are an actual utilizable room. I imagine it will look quite nice once it is furnished and you can see the room from the outside.



Garage – Here we can see the view of the side. The incline in the front of the image leads down to the garage area. You can also see a bit of the tail and gazebo.



Garage2 – Here we can see the room I mentioned before about the second story of the garage. The stairs lead back to the outdoor garage area where you can see the other car.



Garden – Here you can see the front garden area. The fountains were designed to look like flowers. The two left flowers utilize fountains while the rightmost one is flooring. You can also see the claws of the creature’s feet. Although you cannot see it here, if you look at the sunflower by the hind leg, that is where the mailbox is.



Arches – Here we can see the archway on the side of the house. It leads from the front of the house to the side entrance and swimming area.



Side – Here is an image of one of the sides of the house. You can see the archway as well as the smaller fountain with 2 islands in it. You can also see the stairs which lead to the side entrance of the house (this entrance goes into the area that could be used for a living room.



Side2 – Here you can see the other side of the house. You can now clearly see the tail room with the small set of stairs that lead to it. I imagine this could be a laundry or storage room. You can also see the trees that hide the outdoor kitchen area.



Squirrel – Here you can see the swimming area. Originally I did not intend for it to look like a squirrel but after I created the slide area, and thinking it looked a lot like a tail, I figured I might as well throw some legs on there and color it to look like one hah.



Squirrel2 – Here is another angle of the squirrel. You can now clearly see the slide. I created a natural incline to get to it rather than stairs.



Gazebo – You can see the gazebo here, it is situated in the backyard. I thought it might be a nice area to sit and read or eat. Behind the gazebo you can see a small outdoor kitchen area, featuring a fridge, a grill and a counter. It is hidden under some trees and surrounded by other flora and fauna to create a very natural feel.




Well, that’s all for Le Guetter. Have fun, thanks and as always cheers!

Never in a million years would I have dreamed up something like this.  It boggles the mind. Magnificent!

Hey I was wondering if anyone is able to throw this build onto a lot. Agneza tells me she cannot but in my game I can so I have no clue what the issue could be. Thanks :)

That's a very interesting build.  Extremely creative!

How did you get the terrain so even for the sunken carport?  I've been trying to do similar things since the game came out and it never looks as smooth as you managed it.
