My friends have encouraged me to share my builds all in one place. So here I am. I was pretty surprised as I was getting everything ready just how many lots I've built in the past 8 months. So, gonna ...

I "accidentally" built my first castle with the The Complete Castle by Castle Kits, Inc. I was looking for a unique way to build a pet park within the walled city section of Monte Vista. A green park seemed inappropriate. So I wanted to wall in the grassy area. Somehow I got the idea of using the castle wall pieces. This got me looking into how they are used, because they don't just work.
I found several tutorials, most of which turned out to be incomplete or just plain wrong. There were several examples of truly bad YouTube productions that totally lacked editing. People guessing how to place doors and windows, and some never succeeding. Yet they posted the videos anyway, as if they were helping people. They did show how to get the pieces to seam together. This requires having MoveObjectsOn enabled. But after watching hours of video I finally stumbled on the instructions of how to get doors, arches and windows to work, as well as how to decorate interiors. Not in a video, but a good old fashioned web page. (Don't remember where. I'm so bad about this.)
You need to build the rooms first, then apply the castle walls/corners, then place doors and windows. Finally, the topmost pieces need to be placed without an interior wall. Oh, and the walls need to be facing in the right direction. There is an "inside" and an "outside" to most pieces. If anyone is actually looking to learn this, let me know and I'll be more precise.
Anyway, my next post is one of my surprise builds, the cat jungle pet park. I just need to think of a cute name and grab some pictures.
