The Finest - Dog Ranch --no cc--
The finest serenity and relaxation.
And the finest pack of award-winning pups this side of the Simmissippi.
Welcome to The Finest Dog Ranch.
It sleeps four people (two double beds) and SIX dogs. Woof.
If you actually get that many I would recommend locking them out of the main house, but hey, it's your furniture.
There is an outdoor bathtub to wash the dogs. I put a privacy fence around it because sims will jump right in when the dogs are done. If this bugs you just lock the gate when you're not using it.
An Oddity
So...I replaced parts of the foundation with a stone wall to give it a thick textured look that is visible on the outside and inside of the house.
I really like the effect but it's a tiny bit annoying for two reasons:
1. A combination of missing supports and objects under the foundation means that the floor tiles can be a bit annoying to change. Don't forget you can use 'shift' to change a whole section at once.
2. For the indoor side of the stone walls to look correct at night I had to stick a bunch of lights in the foundation (i put rocks over them so it would look less weird if you paged down) You probably don't have to worry about this at all, but I mention it because if you have a lighting mod then, I dunno, maybe it will have some weird effect and you will want to go down there and delete lights.
Just a few notes
- No custom content included or required
- The lot edges are flat
- Constrainfloorelevation false was used for the carport
- Moveobjects was used and some things aren't snapped to grid, but the furniture works.
- There are phones on both floors
- There is a fire alarm inside the fire place
A copy of the lot was play tested, but please message me if you run into any problems
Reccomended Mods

- Water Inaccesible Flowers by dickhurt --If you don't want it you could of course just delete any problem flowers you run across.
- Trim Inaccessible Bushes by Cyjon --Likewise for bushes
Lot Size: 3x3

About Me
I always build CC-free because if I don't have a limited number of options I will never, ever be satisfied and I will spend days and days looking for one counter that fits this kitchen perfectly--and I finally found it--but I had to edit the texture a bit because it didn't tile perfectly, but it's finally done--Oh wait, I changed the wallpaper so now I need to scour the entire internet for counters all over again, and--and I will literally never finish anything. So I've limited myself. But at least CC-free is convenient for downloading. Hope you enjoy them!
Feel free to message me with questions or constructive criticism regarding my uploads.
-- Policy --
-Do not upload my work to other sites.
-Feel free to use my lots in the background for movies or pictures or whatever.
-If you make SIGNIFICANT changes to a lot you may upload it, just not to pay sites.
-For either of the above make sure to give credit and link back to me.
And please use good judgement on the definition of significant. Redecorating one room is not significant. Redecorating the whole house in a different style or for a different purpose is. Adding one room is not significant. Adding a whole other wing or building and updating the landscaping is. That being said if you do use my lot as a jumping off point, by all means message me a link when you upload it because I'd love to see what you come up with.
Weird little sidenote: I often edit lots I download to have different size footprints to fit in with my neighborhood. It can often involve doing tedious things like making a whole building three tiles narrower so that it will fit inside 20 squares, and then a million little changes are necessary to keep the lot functioning and looking good. I don't know if anyone else ever does that, however if you do but then find the result isn't really "significant" enough to be it's own post (4x5 => 4x4 probably not significant, 4x5 => 2x2 significant unless all you did was get rid of the yard) you might want to message me, because I'd be interested in adding yours as an alternate version to download on my original post (with credit and a link to your profile)
