It was quite a challenge, and it wasn't always fun.  Some times we'd get bogged down or would just get a little tense with one another, other times the pc wouldn't cooperate.  With so many people having so many ideas it got pretty exciting.  I think I had more fun with it because I was the only one who could devote full time to it.  No school, no job, no little kids to interfere, so I'd work on some of the things that were basic "chores", like landscaping around a rabbit hole or something.  The most fun was building the huge builds, which you all know I love to do.  The hardest challenge was the Arboretum/Art Gallery, which has a lot of empty space in the gallery itself.  Hard because we had to keep it available for challenges so that meant many things that I wanted included couldn't be, so it was redone a dozen times before it got the ok.  Second hardest from a technical aspect was Pier Fun O Won.  Getting the ground under the pier to match the color of the sea and NOT have edges curl up was a challenge.  The actual buildings were easy.  I actually did go in and remodel it to cut back on some of the graphics issues it had.
Even the water underneath was landscaped before I changed things!

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

Wow! The exterior is just lovely Agneza! I do so wish we could rotate and move things on all three plains like in CAW - that way you could put greenery over all the roof.

I'm going to post this later in my Dynasty thread but I'm too excited and I wanted to get your guys opinion!! But I was thinking about uploading it to Swap Shop/Exchange if any of you guys would actually be interested in downloading it. I absolutely love the way it turned out! I decorated a few rooms but if I uploaded it I'd leave it sparse enough for you guys to feel free to decorate :) Please let me know what you think!




Ignore the garden, it won't be there if I upload it :P


Lower Floor- There is also access to an unfinished basement in case of needed underground expansion.

Can I get a few opinions here please. Have a look at this build and tell me what look best, the stair tower with or without the windows? My original plans were to include the windows, but now that it is not the grey unpainted walls, I actually quite like the one without windows too! keep in mind that there will be windows along the front walls, but I haven't determined where internal walls will be yet, so I can't quite finish the front wall.

I'd say without those windows. Do you have the BahHaus set? You're using the Garage Doors from it I think, if so what about using some of those windows? They might look better instead.
