I live in Australia, and the houses are not like that...

'koolKITTY1234', I think these Australian houses beg to disagree with you:

I think the house looks great, Well Done! That veranda will be perfect for my sims on a hot summer's day. Thanks.

koolKITTY1234: They might not be now, but this is a style of house that was popular in the past in rural Australia especially, and some of them do still remain. I live in Australia too.

Fergie_F: Thank you!

Nice house Beccapixie10. I'm going to download this when I get a chance to
btw, I live in Australia too, and I wish my house looked like that. All my house is, is four walls that connect somewhere.

Awesome house! I also live in Australia, and this house is just like one I grew up in before I moved to the city. There are still quite a lot of houses like this if you go outback Australia.

Oh my GOD THANK YOU. This is brilliant! This is what I always want in games. I live in an Aussie cottage home and when I play the sims, there's never the right sort of open-plan family home and I have to design from scratch! <3 this to bits! Cheers!

I also live in Australia and i disagree with koolKITTY1234 as many country homes do look like this in Australia.

Where in Australia do you live? A cave?

Looks pretty authentic to me.

Very nice, I will download.

I like the pool out the back, complete with fence all the way round, and the windmill.

Only thing is there are eucalypts in the game (from Pets? or Ambitions?) that look (a bit) more Australian than the big green trees - as this is a country house.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone!

KittyCarey: There are eucalypts, yes, but they're huge. I trialled them on this lot and the scale was just so off that it really didn't work. I know eucalypts get really big anyway, but it just didn't look right in the context of this lot.

Great job! Looks amazing! And yeah, I live in Australia and many of the houses are like that. It just depends on where you are! My grandparents had a house incredibly similar to it in the country.

This creation looks a hell of a lot like the farm I grew up on.
Thank you for this!
