This is Paris's bathroom, and the other one is her indoor pool. It's a lot I downloaded here from TSR, but I made a little changes.

I moved the pics of Paris washing her car into the Stories forum. Please keep the random pics out of this forum. The whole purpose of the House and Building forum is to show houses/lots/rooms that have been built or decorated so people can have some new and interesting ideas for their games. If you just want to show your Paris Sim in various situations, like washing the car or hanging out in a bar, those need to go into the Favorite Pics thread in the Stories forum. Thank you. :)

Do you love the pool? I'm going to take another screenshot this time with the pink pool diving board and floating items. :)

[oreocreme]

Now I know why you were looking for rafts and floating items in another thread. That is quite a pool! :D So the guy playing piano has to swim out to the piano to play it? How did you get him out of his swimsuit and back into a suit?

So... while I'm waiting for the batch of houses that I sent in for uploading, here's one of my favorites. For starters, I've posted more general exterior and whole floor views.

This Mediterranean Villa is based on a design I saw in Archtectural Digest. It resides on the prestigious 2 Sim Lane lot at the top of the exclusive circle in the Northeast corner of Simmerly Hills.

The house features 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 2 half baths (for guests), and plenty of space for entertaining. The exterior is exquisitely decorated. Outside there is an additional building that is currently being used for a vineyard room on the lower level and a room dedicated to performing magic.

Currently this house is occupied by the Logan family. The father, Garfield Logan, is a superstar. As busy as he is, he still wants to spend as much time as possible with his wife Caitlin (yes, she has pink hair) and two children, Mark and Zoe. Soon, their family will be expanding by one. :D

I'll post some closeups of the room later on.

Very nice. :)

I really like the landscaping. When I build, that's always the hardest part for me to figure out. I can build and decorate the house with no problems, but I always get stuck trying to place trees and plants in the yard.

[ladytimedramon]

Thanks :D

Landscaping can be tough, mostly because I tend to get into a rut using the same design. But using Architectural Digest helps, because when I'm trying to copy a house, I try to copy the landscape too. I did 2 or 3 houses from the same issue of the magazine.

The harder part is, when I'm making something for uploading to the site, is remembering which walls and floors are downloaded so I don't use them for the initial build. Afterwards, sometimes I'll change the papers and floors, but I don't go downloading those generally - they come with sets I downloaded.

Speaking of downloading, a lot of the stuff in this house is downloaded - a lot from TSR, some from other sites. This is the house of a superstar. I've attached the two first floor pictures. The first features the dining room, kitchen, and living room (a half-bath is stuck in there in the center). The second has the disco, office, and pool table room. Though after the party last night, I'm thinking of doing something different in the pool table room. Just about everyone was hanging out in the disco, or in Gar and Caitlin's bathroom (I think everyone wanted to use the hot tub).

Hopefully I can do this right:) Here are a few snap shots of a houseplan I fell in love with. I have also attempted uploading the house.

Very cute and cozy. :)

[Yersinia]

Just a question about this area of the forum for showing off houses and community lots in the various EP-specified areas:

Do the houses and lots we post pictures of here have to be ones we submit to TSR, or can we just show off our houses and lots? I ask because I don't want to actually submit anything (some items on the "shopping list" I'd have to include since mine are all custom would be impossible to provide, especially the walls and floors), but I think it might be nice if other Simmers could see the pics.

~Yersinia.

[frisbud]

No, they don't have to be submissions. They can be houses and lots you have in your game that you just want to share some pictures of. It doesn't matter if you built them yourself from the ground up, or if you remodeled a house/lot you downloaded from a website. These threads are to show off what you have built whether it's for your own use or for download somewhere, and maybe inspire others in the process. :)

[Yersinia]

Thanks Frisbud. I'll have some of them uploaded soon. :)

[Ian324]

This is a home I've built several years ago (just a few months after MM came out).
I've done some interior renovations over time but the overall shape of it has remained the same pretty much. I've also gotten a lot of magic growth objects over the years.

[oreocreme]

That is a very interesting house, Simon. Sort of a creepy party house. You don't see that combination every day! Good job. Thanks for sharing.
