@Hidehi Thanks. I'm actually pretty impressed with the idea of the flexible placement myself! I think I've mentioned, I was inspired when I was browsing houseplans and saw how they would make suggestions about how to place the homes on lots and offered different build options. In this house the garage/bonus room was actually a master suite. Something I consider very forward thinking for the 50s.
It did offer a garage option, attached on the other side of the laundry room. It also offered a bonus room to be built over the garage. But, I was motivated enough to offer THAT many options. :D
I'm actually going to post clean versions to Sims File Share today. I was just so emotionally exhausted the other day that I had to walk away. I remembered that the counter attaches itself during the upload/share process in game. So the file can be cleaned with Custard and posted anywhere but the Sims 3 site. This does take away some of the frustration. (Though not all.)
@rosemow Thank you for your usual kind words. Your comments always show that you actually have looked at the pics and observed the details of the build. Even stuff I don't mention. I love the porches, front and back. They are part of what drew me to this home. They are also why the house HAD to have a foundation. I tried building it on a level lot, to make the garage easier, but the porches lost too much of their charm.
