No doubt!

I'll certainly remember this experience and be sure to allow enough funds next month!

That's a pretty rockin house Aria, you match the windows/doors/columns/arches very well, and the lay out flows nicely.  Pielord I had the same problem, I think mine are just going to live outside until I have 300k haha

Thanks, Tommy! 

The only part I'm not really happy about is the roof line, but as I was waking up this morning I had an idea about how I could fix it so you can expect an updated exterior pic soon. :)

How odd it is that I've lived a full lifetime and never until now started to look at roof lines, footprints, etc.

I saw Pielord's Dynasty house and decided to share.  *shudders*  Don't be fooled by the nice furniture.  I have a doctor and a kleptomaniac in the house.  Not to mention the 22k I "earned" through the judicious selling of novels from a certain Asian country...

View from the second floor


View from the first floor


The garage.  And yes, all six cars were stolen, most of them from across the street at the Altos' place.


A view of the entire lot.  Yes, my kleptomaniac Sim stole the flag in the garden!  I needed to do something with it...


A view of the house, with walls up.


I'm open for comments and constructive criticism.  I'm trying to get better at this house thing, really.  I welcome any critique or advice.

Wow, that is really nice so far, and how far along are you on your dynasty?  Mine is large and I have the stairs in, but no second floor yet and a modest garden.  I bought the park across the street from the house and now don't have too much money yet until some paintings start to sell.  I will post pics later, but yours is your nice.  It will get better along the way, it is gorgeous now.
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns because they taste funny?

Well I thought I might as well post my little home I made near the scrap yard ^_^ I'm aware its not the greatest thing ever so dint be too mean xD

First up is my front view of the house, this is the first build where i realised you could have spray on flowers and stone paths so I may have gotton a little crazy with them xD  Unfortunately Since i wanted my house on foundations everything else has to be as well and I cant seem to make a basement now because of it =/



Second is back view of the house, in the garden I have Life Fruit, Pomegranates and Bell Peppers (Bell Peppers make great fertilizers)  The two little extra coming out bits (Not sure what to call them xD) parts of the roof were something I added myself, the roof seemed a little boring so I thought they make it look better.



Here is a bird's eye view of the top floor,  The biggest room being the Master (Only?) Bedroom and en-suit Bathroom,  Opposite that we have the workshop for Sculpting and Inventing and next to the workshop is the Gym with its own separate shower.



Finally the downstairs, Starting with a Living room/dining room mix the small display case holding a little gold tiger I found.  Hallways lead to the Main bathroom and the kitchen area which also holds the Washing machine and Dryer ^^ and finally following it around leads to the small outside area.

Balkor, nice little house there.  I like what you did with the "things" on the back side of the roof.  I must try that sometime.

Saltypaws, my 3rd generation is a teenager now.  It seems to go faster because I don't allow my immortals multiple children.  I only have to focus on one child at a time.  Thanks for the compliments.  I'm still trying to figure out where to put my museum.  It seems people have so many sculptures and paintings and photographs...I only have the required portraits right now.  Oh, well, sculptures will come later and photographs probably never.  I despise the photography skill.

Shutting up now before I get trashed for being off topic.   ;D

Samoht, that's beautiful. Huge! Will it be filled with collections from travel, or with children?

That looks like a really nice house.  Actually we seem to have several talented builders around here.  I love looking at them.
