Hey guys!! It's been so long since I've been on here! I haven't played the sims in quite some time, but since the release of Get Together, I am back and absolutely loving it! I think it's a fantastic expansion. What's more I LOVE all the new objects and build mode items! Needless to say, it has inspired me to start building again. I absolutely love building mansions, and now with the new 64x64 lots I have even more freedom to build the most massive ones possible! So I present to you my latest creation:
CHATEAU LYON (pronounced "lee-ohn"...it's french, y'know?)
This is by far the largest and most time-consuming home I have ever built in any of the sims games, and I am quite proud of it! I hope you all enjoy it as well. Take a look:

And while I designed this house on the 64x64 lot in the mountain area, with a few adjustments you can easily place it on the private island. Here's some shots of the gorgeous views! (I freaking love Windenburg!!)

And that's it!
And PLEASE! If you see anyone try to steal this and upload it as their own please please please comment on it and let others know. Or let me know. I have had a situation in the past where someone stole my lot, and Maxis favorited it, and it ended up getting twice the amount of downloads and favorites than the one I uploaded. I would very much like to avoid a repeat of that! I work extremely hard on these houses, so I'd greatly appreciate if you could help me out. I promise I'll do the same for you! :)
You can find this lot under the name "Chateau Lyon" in the gallery, under my username "grod4L". It requires Get to Work, Get Together, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Luxury Party Stuff, and Perfect Patio Stuff.
Enjoy and happy simming everyone! I'm glad to be back!
