If I had those expansion packs and my computer could handle it, I would be downloading it right now.  I think it is just fantastic, wonderful, great, awesome.  In other words, I really, really like it   ;D

Thank you. I know it's not for everyone. I don't think even I could actually play a game in it without serious freezing issues, but it was built to be a show house and I'm very happy about how it turned out.

Great build! Really. One lesson learned, huge houses are huge on the outside not the inside, maybe if I follow that philosophy I can complete that monster of a mansion I built. Thank you.

You're welcome. My tip to you would be to divide the rooms and adding essentials such as beds, counters of a gym machine before you start decorating. It can be hard to keep focus on decorating the rooms when you have so many, so putting placeholders down to help you remember what the rooms will be for is a great tool to help you.

Also, don't be afraid to leave space for sims to move around and it can be a good idea to have at least one sim live on the lot while you are building. So that you can test if a sim can use an object asap. This is something I wish I had thought of...

I just wanted to share the happy news with everyone who helped me by giving me advice. I won the competition! thank you - without your support I don't think it would have been even half as good as it turned out to be! :-*

Congratulations! It's so good when hard work plays off. I mean, pays off :D It shows what a really good job you did, and it's nice that others appreciate that too!

Congratulations on the win! Your house turned out really beautifully so you deserve it!  ;D


When you live, live with your soul, not with your time.
When you love, love with your heart, not with your mind.
When you want to be something, the world can't define, open up your eyes.

Thank you both of you!

Thanks, but it was really close, there are some wonderful people out there that have mad skills with building cheats and stuff. Besides store content was allowed in the competition so there was a lot of variety in the interior decorating I didn't use. But I wanted as many people as possible to be able to use mine, which is why I didn't use any.
