Looks cute
Well, since I'm a professional procastinator, I didn't take pictures of my cabin in the snow. Maybe I'll upload it someday.
For now, I've got this:




I've never managed to fit new glittery stuffz from EP's so fast into a house. In this case, items from ITF and IP.
I also need a name for it. I was thinking of 'Cubicle', even though it clearly isn't, but fuck it, difference.

"Professional Procrastinator"? I procrastinate procrastinating, which is probably why I don't play the Sims very much anymore. The sims used to be a form of procrastinating for me, but now I proscrastinate even doing that. This house does look awesome though. as for the name, "Cubicle" sounds good given it's links with cube, and the fact that your house is very cube-like I don't see why you can't call it "Cubicle". I hope that logic all makes sense; I'm ill and so should probably go back to bed; hence why this didn't all sound as good as it did in my head.

I'll name it Cubicle then:


Get well soon. Sucks to be sick when tomorrow is New Year's eve. I'll drink for ya!

Thanks. I just have a cold now.
The Cubicle is such an awesome looking place. I really love how you've designed and furnished it. I look forward to your next inspiring design.

Well I just started to build something:




Started this an hour ago. A fairly simple structure. I usually don't like 2 stories on a modern build, but it fits this one really well
Going to bed now, I think I'm getting sick. I might have catched it from you, Fergus

It seems my plan to infect everyone is working according to plan. Time to initiate the next phase...
Tha house looks awesome. Modern may not be my thing, but from the rear view that house looks to be a dream house if ever there was one. :lovestruc

Well your plan doesn't work on me. I'm not getting sick
Thanks. I like the rear better in-game than on the picture, but whatever
Now I'm working on this:



I'm not a 100% sure about the color.
It has about 7 bedrooms I think. Can't remember, didn't count, just closed the game

Wow, now that is a grand ol' Second Empire home. It shall be interesting to see the internal layout and what you do with it. I'm not so sure about your mixing of the boarding and brick. I'd just go with brick. I like the ornamentation you've put on the exterior, especially with the wall coverings on the compressed floor, I think this puts it towards the later part of the Second Empire style's era of fashionability. If you're looking to create a historical interior I could certainly link you to some appropriate houses that you could use for inspiration.

Yeah I want something historical this time
I've changed the clapboard to brick, except the dormers. Which looks better?

That looks better. I can't tell the difference between the two pictures. What am I looking for? I'll assemble a group of appropriate houses you could use for reference after lunch, right now I'm very hungry. *stomach rumbles*

The dummy floor between the ground and 1st floor. Forgot to point it out.

I'm not sure. It seems to stand out a bit too much in both, the lack of a raised foundation isn't helping the image of the house much, combined with the over emphasised dummy floor this makes the proportions of the house seem a bit odd. But making the dummy floor blend into the floor below should help. To fix this you could maybe use a wall covering that just has the bracketing on the corners for the ground and dummy floor, just like in the poorly edited picture I have attached. The only other thing I've now thought of is that it might be a good idea to make the colours of the cornicing and the ornamentation on the wall coverings match. Again, it seems a bit odd with them not matching. The thing with Second Empire is that the bulk of the exterior was quite void of ornamentation; just plain brickwork. The ornamentation was in the roof, window/door surrounds and the cornice between the roof and the bulk of the house
As you will see in these examples, the brickwork is plain, most of them don't even have decorative stone on the corners, but your one looks nice with it on the corners and on the tower.

Wow, really beautiful homes. Some areas certainly are very cheap. That house which went for 229k in Port Washington would be worth at least 1M in my area.
Anyway, the examples are great, might turn one or 2 of them into pixel houses

I know exactly what you mean. I think it's got something to do with just how large America is, as well as the economic state and accessibility of each area. I could go on for a long time talking about old houses for sale in America; but instead I'll just say that I've seen some grand old houses for sale for as little as 5K or 10K. It really does depend on where you look. :P
I've also been working on a house I've seen in a dream. The trouble is I can only remeber being in the tower and on the roof looking down to the coast. The house, in my dreams, sits on a hill in the pacific northwest of America, with a garden that runs down the hill to the rocky coast, the house is then surrounded by a thickly wooded conniferous forrest and the house and garden were in a clearing that runs down towards the sea. The drive the round past the front of the house to the garage which sat at an angle further away from the house. Going away from the house, the drive weaved its way through the forrest to a road, out of sight of the house. Something like the sketch I've just attached. My only trouble is that I don't really have a world/lot suitable for recreating this dreamy house.

Wow, I like how it looks Victorian-, Cape Cod- and Colonial-ish

May I present:
The Pelican

I'm getting a feeling for mansard roofs

It certainly is a belle. And such an adorable colour. The only thing that bugs me is those shingle on the bay windows and dormers. They seem very harsh in comparison with the much softer boarding. Have you considered trying one of the fish-scale shingle patterns instead?

Yes, I do agree! It is very cute but the shingles on the dormers is a bit harsh! yes try the fish scale shingles instead! The colors look great!

I've had some hard drive problems and now I lost all my houses. All of them

Edit:
Finally, after a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time, I've managed to make my first good looking craftsman cottage!

Oh MAn! That totally sucks! WOW!

Your cottage looks great, the colors and details are spot on! love it.

Sorry I haven't posted and new projects for a while cause my computer is just being stupid! UGH!!!

I also tortured myself through making the exterior with lots of laggs and freezes

It looks very authentic and its very detailed! Awesome job on the exterior! And the colors look great as well!

Hey! I haven't visited for a while, because I had all those projects for the university, but now I have exams, which is nice beacause I only get to do 1 thing - study and not do 1000 things in a day. So I have time to also visit the site.

First of all - I really love the new stuff I see here! Fergus and Johnny - you've really started to make more advanced houses that require a lot of work and that's great! And second - OMG! The new Creator Guidelines are so mcuh better - I can't believe that I can upload up to 100 pics. That's just perfect for adding my new upload (the palace you saw some time ago) I can even bypass the queue but I still want it to be checked by a moderator.

Good luck with your exams Gogo

Well, Fergus, either you, or Oldhousdreams, gave me this fever where I just have to create historical homes Right now I'm experimenting and combining 2 or more styles into one, good looking house. I currently have this Farm-ish/Colonial-ish/2nd Empire victorian-ish house and a Greek revival-ish/southern-ish house, I love it's fireplace!

Love the one story house, Johnny! Its very Greek Revival/ Victorian ish! and the fireplace looks great! Love how you used MoveObjects for it!
