beautiful agneza!

Ok so the sims finally did something incredible. I don't know if you know this but the game makes saves of your game from time to time. So I was thinking to refill in the wings after reading your guys' comments, but of course after curving this is not something one can do. So I went to my last save that I saved and it was ages ago. So then! I go to the saves folder and restore the latest backup save and behold my creation right before I deleted the wings. Ok long story short I did some recoloring and stuff so what do you guys think so far. Another hint btw, I started off intending for this to be a lion but I didn't like the head. So I deleted that but left the lion body and created a new head. It is still nowhere close to done, I am going to recolor it again with stone colors and then there is landscaping and a bit of designing etc etc.

agneza - lovely as always

norenegonc - I understand now! It's a griffin, no? The wings look awesome and the head makes sense now. Not sure if the legs look right yet.

[Agneza]

Thanks , thanks, thanks I'm happy you like it and my Sims like to 

[norenegonc]

Yeah, I can see why the legs scream turtle. I have been back and forth with them, but making legs look as though the creature is sitting is very... challenging. I threw in the claws to make it more obvious but I still am not getting the effect. And of course the hind leg can no longer be CFE's without ruining the wings and let's face it... I am not touching those wings again hah. I could still do something with the foreleg though, but I do not know what. Any thoughts.

Ok yet more images lol. I started with the outdoor designing. So I wanted to get your guys' thoughts yet again. My questions are - what do you think of the semi-underground garage, can you tell what the floor design is in the front (the one that includes the fountains), and yeah or no on the fence in the front. I feel like the fence creates a sort of quaintness but I am usually not a big fence guy. Thanks again, cheers!

Quick note - best to click on the images to see more detail otherwise it is hard to see what the floor design is. Oh and the colors are not final for the front yard.

[pallyndrome]

Is the fountain design meant to be.... flowers? I'm a bit stumped on that. The garage looks great, except for the humped down ramp. I have smooth garage ramps on the swap shop - though I have no idea how they did it. I like the fence.

Ok so.. fixed all the colors, finished the landscaping and tried again to fix the legs lol. So I guess my first question now is, what do you think of the windows. I kind of threw them wherever, I had no idea of how to deal with windows for a house like this lol. I did not take any images of the inside, but I did manage to wall off rooms and then threw in windows accordingly. Also, what do you think of the swimming area. I didn't intend for it to look like a squirrel but after making a few curves here and there it kind of looked like one so I figured meh, might as well throw in some legs and color it accordingly lol. And lastly, how do the flower designs look in the front now. I moved some stuff around so it looked more distinct. And as always thanks for your thoughts, cheers!

You'll need to pause this video as he's doing it so you don't miss any steps, he goes kinda fast.  But it's how to build an underground garage with a nice ramp.

Absolutely J'adore.

[norenegonc]

Hey do you mean that the incline is too curved and should be a straight decline or are you suggesting I use foundation. The incline I was meaning to fix, similar to the incline in the swimming area. Foundation was a conscious choice, the technique I used involved half walls, columns and fencing lol. Although it did create that dramatic decline along the sides, maybe I should just do foundation and not try to be unique lol.
