My gosh how have I not seen this thread before? Beautiful all around sweetie! Wonderful detail!
Dunno! :D Thank you. :blush: I've been picking up some cool ideas from other simmers. o:)

Clockwork Abode looks so very nice! :) Very nice design of the exterior of the home! The towers, roofing and types of windows used looks very great! The steampunk theme of the home looks very nice. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! The wall patterns add such a great look and feel to the rooms! The type of single bed used looks very nice. The draped curtain crown is a nice touch on the master bedroom bedhead wall. The bed patterns look nice.There are many enjoyable activities for sims to enjoy doing whilst at home. The furnishing of each area or room in the bulld with the various items looks so very great!
It is a very special steampunk themed home! :)
Thank you. Putting this together was a nightmare. As I said before, it was intended to be a salon (guess I'll save that for another time) and, actually, before I did this one, I had another salon in the works, but dropped that one because it looked too Japanese. :D I want something that looks similar to these:

Funny thing is, I seem to do a lot better, when I just make something up myself, so that's kinda what happened. Problem is that when you make a certain look of a house, sometimes you don't think about how to dress it up. I was stumped after doing the hobby room, bathroom, kitchen and the two bedrooms. What more could sims possibly need? :confounded: Eh, just throw in some brain enhancement contraption (I don't typically like seeing these kinds of items in my sims houses because they could probably go out to a community lot for that) and some more seating. BAM! :D Yup, the wall patterns were probably the most important element for me. I would always start off each room by picking the flooring and walls and then dress it up as I see fit. That's one thing I wish EA would have done differently; add new patterns with each new ep or sp. Making patterns is great, but I feel safer using EA's content rather than a strangers, you know? However, many lots from the exchange particulary @Larifari2009's steampunk builds helped me see cool uses for CASt. o:)
