So I finally got around to doing some screen caps of the house during the day. I'm still not sure the best way to get images from Imgur on here that look nice like other's do but here it is. My building skills are so elementary, I'll never get this house right. But at least my Sims have a large house to last for many generations to come.

I want to again thank all of those who helped me with my original post. I learned SO much and got addicted to CASt which I had never used. This whole process has made me appreciate TS3 so much more as well as this community that is going strong after 10 years (I know so many of you have been around the Sims since the beginning).
