Then allow me to recommend the Creator Feedback Forum. Getting advice there will help avoid going through the uploads process unnecesarily.

Is the new layout still confusing anyone of you? It's still a labyrinth for me

At first it was cause it changed all of a sudden. But now I am getting use to it. Little by little tho.

I find some areas are easier to navigate than others. For the more difficult ones I go back to the older version so I can find them. But other than that, I'm pretty much used to the new design.
***Edit***
I've also done some more work on my litlle white Gothic Revival; Summertime Sadness. I've set it in the kind of landscape in which it appeared in my dreams.

Looks really nice, I love the location!

Ahh don't you guys hate it when you build a nice house, and the realize it looks better on a hill but you can't raise the terrain because you've used CFE and already placed all the windows, doors stairs and added the roof? Because it happened to me -.-

'tis one of the banes of creating beauty in the game.

I've done some more work on my latest beach house; I've done some landscaping and added a garden to the side. However this has made it a lot more cheerful than I originally intended it to be. I've then been working some more on my Queenslander, both inside and out. I have so many lots I want to finish and upload, but so little time to do them. On most of them I've finished the exteriors and haven't done anything to the interiors. I should probably make the effort to finish the interiors before building more exteriors and landscaping around them.

Ohh Fergus I know what it feels like to have so many unfinished lots, but my problem is that I don't have any inspiration.

I've started another 60's house inspired by Mafia II:

Thanks. The 60's wasn't as good a time for architecture in England as it was elsewhere. Tasteful 1960's architecture is very hard to find in England.

So the 60's were good in the USA, I assume. Because in Germany, at the coastal regions, the 60's brought tiny, identical looking houses. Lot's of 'em. I can show you guys a picture as I live next to a street full of these.

Barns really are quite fascinating. I love how whimsical and quaint they can be.
I find old/historic barns quite interesting. Our farm back home used to have quite a lot of good looking ones. But my dad has since demolished them and replaced them with rather fugly modern looking ones.
In England our old barns look more like these:

There's a barn conversion for sale back in my home village, as seen here. Admitedly, I've always been fond of the main house which can be seen in the background of one of the listing pics and the adjoining carriage house. I've never been too fond of barn conversions. I want my houses to look like houses and my barns/churches to look like barns/churches. But I do see the occassional conversion I do like.
But I really like the look of your barn conversion. I look forward to seeing how you do the interior.

Fergus, if these barns aren't good enough to forget about the awful Brit architecture in the 60's, then IDK.

I actually live in a converted barn, but, it's nothing special, our barns are all the same.

YOU LIVE IN A CONVERTED BARN?! AS A HOUSE?!

THATS AMAZING!

WHY HAVE I NEVER KNOWN THIS ABOUT YOU?

Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather.

I can make some pictures but it's actually nothing interesting, really.

It was converted in the 60's. In comparison to the little houses made then this was a villa

That's quite nice actually, especially if you grew some of that ivy on it. It reminds me of a few new build houses in my area. It does looks quite nice though, it's probably a lot more sturdy than the new builds. I like the brickwork on parts of it, which gives an older more inviting vibe. Are those windows up on the rear side original?

That's quite fancy then. Barns don't have proper windows over here, atleast old barns don't. They normally just have shutters or holes in the walls.
