Looks awsome, love how used the fog emitter and the curved bridge, I have been trying (and failing miserably) trying to make them,  looking forward to see how you'll finish, will you put in the swap shop?  I have the castle parts and wish to add it to my town, sorry I don't have any ideas popping up, I will try to think of something useful to say
first thing that I can think of is rugs, using rustic patterns, but I believe you didn't finish yet

Moderna - 1 Bedroom 1 Bathroom

I forgot to write down the price of the lot. It is on a 10x10 lot.
It contains content from all expansions (probably) except WA, and some store content. I can make Store-Free and/or Base Game versions if anyone would like them. If anyone is interested I will upload to the swap shop.
Critique and comments welcome!

Looks really nice! I think maybe adding a few plants would spruce it up.
Otherwise, I say upload it!

@Grimsoul - you seem to get around great with Castle tool! That does look like real fairy tale castle, and the decoration is very vampiric! Great job there!

@Fortheloveofcake - I really like your little house, only one thing that Gogo mentioned too, all inside is black and white. You already have some plants there, but to give it a special touch, you can add some color somewhere - It can be interesting carpet with floor tool, or something like that. Where did that bed come from? I would remove that green vase from Generations in kitchen, and recolor the candles at endtables. But those are such a little details and you should be really proud of your design!

The bed is from a store set. It's called something like 'Luxury Spa Bedroom'.

I totally can agree about some more colour. Maybe having some walls being a different colour?

I've started a new build: a Exclusive Lounge for my Legacy in Twinbrook. I've used a house from the game and changed it. I've only changed the landscaping a little bit.

And I've only changed the Ground Floor so far.


Suggestions?

Gogo, I don't really have any suggestions because I don't really build hangouts, but in the last picture with all of your wall hangings? It looks a little odd for a picture to be hanging on the upper molding of the wall. I think it will look better if you keep it to the middle wallpaper section. I will say that I really like the remodel that you've done so far. In fact, my DecaDynasty family is currently living on the right side of your spiffy new hangout, and they would happily visit if they were allowed. (The one with the plum tree in the front yard, not back yard).

Thanks Moons! I read your DecaDynasty and it looks like it's going quite well.
Anyway, back to the build.
I changed the wall paintings and completed the second floor. Suggestions, comments, queries?

Awsome work Gogo, my suggestion would be curtains, they will give the classy feel to the club

Gogowars --

It looks great! I love the blue. I agree with Kiko that a few curtains would be nice and add a little extra to the overall feel.  If it wouldn't change the look of the front, I would suggest adding parking spots to make it more club/community lot like, but I really like the front how it is at the moment.

I'll add the curtains and the parking spots the next time I play. I actually only added a few plants to the front.

Here is the second home in the series of 5, eModern. Please note that this is a WIP and no furnishing has been done (except the outside.)

Hey guys I'm taking an extended hiatus... again. I'm out of ideas to build houses and I don't have as much fun designing homes like I used to; it feels more like a chore. So that's where I'll be, I will probably be back sometime. :P

Well I just got the first immortal in my dynasty and decided I was going to remake their house. Heres the shell so far.


I like what you did with the plants in the living area. Are they from a SP? And the fruitbowl? If they are I've seen enough things today that I need to go and buy me some SPs...

I know that some of the plants are from High-End Loft and the fruit bowl is Outdoor Living.

I recently decided that my Legacy Sim needed a place to be wed. So I built a cute little church. I'm thinking of uploading it but without the indoor chairs as they are from the store and can no longer be bought.
The Church from the Front and the Back:


The two bathrooms. The ladies get the one with pink tiles.


The ceremonial area. These are the chairs I would be swapping. There are two food thingy (forgot the name) at the back for outside.

The outdoor party area. There are seats to eat and a dance floor. The table with nothing on it is for a wedding cake.

Now I know the party area isn't what a real church would have, but this is a place to be married more than a church.
