@emere feedback for Challenge 2 - Part 1
My QCPractice 1/3

I love the whimsical feel to this landscaping and cant wait to see it finished. From a decoration point of view I dont really have any critique, great use of terrain paint for your theme. I cant spot any areas that look bare at all all I can comment on for the front yard is that the path doesnt actually connect to the footpath so I would connect it for an entrance for sims.

And I didnt spot any issues with placement in the front so well done

For the back yard, I probably wouldn't use the alien mushroom (pictured) on the paths as sims cant walk over these it would of been better to place this in the garden beds somewhere. (ignore my sim he likes to photo bomb my pictures). Though the sim can walk around the mushroom I have seen plenty of builds where it blocks the way and seeing as it makes them walk around the path that on it its a bit strange.



Also in the back I found this fish fountain looking out of place because the water was hitting the ground and not into the water which would of made it look like it belonged (again sorry about my sim hes being very cheeky today)



I absolutely love the style of your pool and garden area, its so unique in its design which I love seeing new things. The backdrop is stunning.
One tip I do have when decorating the floor is it looks unfinished on the sides of this pattern because it just stops

If you hit CTRL button and F button at the same time once you have selected the tile you want to use, it will give you a quarter piece of the tile, then if you use your arrow buttons to turn the design around you can match them up to make new designs. And you can match this design on the other side of the pool floor and the garden patio that you have used these tiles on also.



Lastly the night view is quite dark in a lot of places, especially for a whimsical theme you really want it to look magical and lights are the best way for this. I will just show you the front but there were spots in the back that were quite dark also



Also you will notice in the after shot of the night view the statue is light up quite bright, I actually used bb.moveobjects and then the 9 button to raise an outdoor light up into the middle of it, so the light is hidden but it lightens up the whole statue. ( I use this trick all the time its one of my favs).
So many people always forget night view but we always check it when judging and I feel its beneficial if you want people using your builds as they will at some point play it at night time.

Cant wait to see the finished build with your theme and great job.
