Oh, it sounds like you made a small tomb or hidden room in there!

Maybe, maybe not. I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise, that is if there is in fact a surprise at all, which I'm not saying either way.

I'm so happy to hear you like it though, and I hope you feel better soon regardless of whether your next move is to play Sims or not.

Landscaping is not easy for me either. It's strange, it's not exactly hard for me to do at least decently, but I find it really difficult to start the process at all. It's almost like I think I'm going to hate doing it and the results, even though I rarely do once I'm done. The only thing I really struggle with is ponds—they never come out looking right to me the first few times. But a few bulrushes and water lilies go a long way.

I feel the same way about eye colors: my sims are usually normal-looking, but the eyes are almost always an interesting color not found in nature. And then I enjoy seeing who inherits them through the generations.

@ciane @ADWilson and @SamelaRita Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you like the story, and I hope the challenge turns out to be interesting. I thought it would be nice to add one since MiaSkywalker doesn't like her sims skilled up at all.

@LMC6255 and @Hidehi Thanks so much for the feedback. It feels really good to hear that people like something I made.

To everyone, I've downloaded all your builds and sims and have checked out a few of them in-game so far. They're all really fun to look at, even with a few missing items; actually, it's kind of hilarious what the game comes up with at times. For example, in Gracey Manor, the chimney stacks on the roof were replaced by eight puzzle shelves, one floating in midair above each chimney; the roof tower from the Now and Then Century Manor is now a single double-wide cornice. But most of the rest is intact. I mean, other than the four different globe sculptures now positioned on top of tables and counters.

Point is, everything so far looks great in my game too, and I'm glad I can "borrow" some of the gifts as well.
