Ironically, it's a very lively graveyard Joria! Wonderfully done nonetheless.

This has got to be my favourite house I have ever built!  

Vert Manor:
Size 30x30
Price: A lot...   (Well around 120,000 furnished)
http://gb.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=2749811
Store: Leaftastic and Topper

This large family home is situated on a beautifull lot, the landscaping is mainly natural with rocks and flowering bushes, there is playground aperatus and a small pond. It is perfect for a large family or retired couple, a large kitchen and living room and dining. It is linked to the Car Port and the Deck outside, several decent bedrooms, an office and a nursery.

First Floor: (I left most bedrooms unfurnished so it would be easier to redesign for downloaders - I did main bedroom and the Nursery though. )

Love the layout of that house Samoht!  I'm thinking it would be a great Legacy house.

He, both your houses above are really good samoht.

Clever concepts!  I like the partially-walled patio with the palm tree and the use of fencing in the kitchen.  You've made me realize it's been far too long since I put something up any requests?

A sharp and modern style house big enough for a large family!  Big nursery so there's plenty of room for teaching to walk and stuff.  Top of the line everything.  I've got the Stanke Collection, Animals Abound, Ultra Lounge Kitchen and Bath, Ultra Lounge Youth Set, and Asian Fusion, in case you happen to also have any of those sets.  I don't care for bright, blaring colors.  Price is no object!

Here are a couple of shots of redecorated vacation homes in Shang Simla and Al Simhara.

Or I have just been spending way to much time Simming! 

He, both your houses above are really good samoht.

Thanks Swede! 

Any requests?

Can you post pictures of your favourite or best house you have ever built? 

[TollingBells]

Ooh, I love the Al Simhara one, Pam, but I'm not too big of a fan of the color scheme for Shang Simla. Still, you did a good job with both.

[Pam]

I wasn't terribly fond of the colors on the Shang Simla house, either.  It looks like Christmas!  But I had committed to those colors, so had to finish with them.  I really didn't feel like doing it all over again.  The one in Al Simhara is the expensive palace.  It's a nice place to vacation, no doubt.

[TollingBells]

Hm...I think if you took the white and made it a goldenrod, and made the green a light olive color, it may look better. Just what I think. Otherwise, it's very beautiful. 

[pallyndrome]

I like the Shang Simla colours actually. I think they don't look like christmas, because the green is sort of a sea green - not the usual christmas green.

With all of this talk about building, I am starting to venture more into that aspect.  So far from what I have seen, you guys houses are awesome.  I also put this house on the exchange, which is also my first time and I didn't mean to put the sims with the house, but I am learning.  Here is the screenshots and the link to the house on the exchange.  Any advice is appreciated since I really do not know what I am doing when it comes to building, but from TommyT's instructions and everyone else's pics, I am getting there.  My sister has always been the builder and she is really good at it too.
