This is Sage Estates, and I just realised I have a young version of Mrs Crumplebottom living there, due to her sister being in the Goth house, also the Spencer-Kim-Lewis family: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/dezo1ln3cdjlxkm/04-17-22_6-59-34%C2%A0PM.png?dl=0

@DaniRose2143 The idea of NOLA sounds interesting, I can't wait to see it.
@Simmingal The two brownstones are beautiful, and I really like how the house at Sage Estates gives me vibes of an old converted fire station with that tower.
These are preliminary shots for my take on Garden Essence. Window and door placements aren't set yet since the interior is completely gutted, not a single interior wall. And I'm trying out a more typical NOLA placement. Corner lots often have the house right up against the sidewalk on one long side and the porch very close to the sidewalk. So in these that's what I tried to replicate as much as the game will let me. And it is a annoyance that you have to leave one tile outside of the fences. We should be able to place them right at the edge, but anyway. I'm not entirely married to leaving the house where it is, I might put it back. I'm also not sure about the balcony on the long street side. Three balconies is borderline one too many. I just wish there was more colorful maxis siding options. I would have loved to use a purple, or canary yellow, or something more flamboyant. But that color is a good compromise.
@DaniRose2143 I like your work in progress. I am an absolutely terrible, clueless builder, so I enjoy seeing what those of you who are talented in that area come up with.

It's beautiful, and I completely agree with you on the edges. Either it's a part of the lot or it isn't! I would go further and have two lots right side by side, and let them share fences, walls and hedges. That way we could build real terraced houses.
@MoonlightGraham I'm still learning too. And this isn't as challenging as it looks. I'm working with the basic footprint of the Maxis original, just lopped off the extension in the kitchen and the bedroom on the left side. Add a second floor that mirrors the lower, a nip. here, a tuck there, and viola.
I was a little on the fence about the overall size but it gives me the opportunity to make larger rooms, do a lot more decorating and not have it all get really cramped and cluttered. I love lots of decoration but it's so easy to make it impossible for sims to move.
@JAL Thank you! It isn't just the fences, that balcony required me to push the house back. IRL that would just as likely overhang the sidewalk. I am liking the placement more and more. I'm taking a break to rest my eyes. I've been in front of the computer so long today they are getting a bit blurry. Then it's time to dive into the interior, and find something to put under the balcony to make look like it's braced, not just hanging up by sheer luck.?

I might use this thread as an inspiration to try to improve my skills. You do make it sound like it's not an insurmountable task, if I start out with something easy. :)
