ENTRY DETAILS: I wanted to do a lot of outdoor living space so only the bathroom and the bedrooms (the second one is being used as a yoga/art room) are enclosed with walls. I tried to make the cottage look like a botanical garden gazebo but a little more 'fairy'. With the magic bean trees in the yard, it seems it would work really well for a plant Sim but haven't tested that yet. There is a small herb garden in the yard and the dining area is in the garden itself. The back of the house opens onto the public garden, which I thought worked out well. I haven't had trouble with people just walking into the living room space or kitchen, which was a concern.

ENTRY DETAILS: This was a challenge indeed! I knew I wanted a fireplace and a pond, but the debug fishing hole bugged out so badly that I had to go for a fountain-pond instead. I focused on the exteriors, trying to make a charming cottage, sort of a place where you could find a fairy godmother and not a witch. Laura has found her favourite reading spot in front of the fireplace, but there is also a place for her to read in the backyard if she would rather stay outside.

ENTRY DETAILS: A small cottage in memory of Jack Nimble, to honor him, was named after him. The house has a small simple bedroom, a cozy little living room with plenty of seats to read and of course a bookcase. A dining area for eating, but also suitable to entertain for 4. And a kitchen with all the necessities. The outside area is landscaped with lush flowers and plants to give a fairy tale vibe as well as the wooden exterior of the house. That combined with the curved roofs set you back to that bedtime story you've heard many times as a child.

ENTRY DETAILS: In the end I went for a rather simple cottage. I wanted to create a cute little cottage you'd stumble upon while in the woods, and I tried to balance the interior and the landscaping. I didn't want to do to much on the outside, then be left with little on the inside, and vice versa. Hopefully I achieved that goal! I also had the idea of this cottage really using what nature has to offer, so not only can you fish up tonights dinner in the duck pond, you can also wash your clothes there. In the backyard there is a small vegetable and herb garden (notice a few herbs hanging over the stove?) so you always have fresh ingredients to cook with.

ENTRY DETAILS: Once upon a time is a quaint and magical cottage. Surrounded by woodsy landscaping you will feel secluded and could easily get swept away to a faraway place, when reading a book. Don't be alarmed when things are magically repaired. A magical gnome will see that your home will be well maintain.

ENTRY DETAILS:
First, I want to thank @Laebeth for her tip on bulldozing your build and placing it again on the lot to check for MOO'ed objects dropping. Thanks to this, I was able to fix some major issues I was having with decorations on the chimney. It's all good now! *wipes brow*
I imagined Louise, being a romantic, loves the colors pink & purple. Therefore, the landscaping and interior of her new home features a color scheme of pink & white with purple accents. I desparately wanted a chimney/fireplace for the design I had in mind, but the chimney wasn't working out and she couldn't afford a fireplace. So, I did the next best thing, I custom made both for her home!
The fireplace ended up being in her bedroom, so I also included lots of candles and mood lighting in there. It sets a very romantic and cozy atmosphere. Too bad there's only a single bed, for now. Hopefully that will change in the future. The landscaping features a pond with pink lilies and a fountain, an intimate gazebo for two and a lighted bench underneath a tree for reading and dreaming.
There isn't too many skill objects, it's a very small starter home, but she does have the pond for fishing, a bookcase and a television. I hope Louise enjoys her new home. And I hope y'all like it too. Thanks for looking and Happy Simming!
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes, please and thank you!

ENTRY DETAILS: I made Louise a medical aide (medical career level 3) good, a bookworm, and loving the outdoors. She loves her little garden, so she has some gardening, cooking and charisma skills and I got her the great storyteller trait as she is gregarious and loves to share the stories she reads. She is overly fond of the color pink and is cute, but not what most folk in the gallery would call beautiful. A little clearasil and a change of clothes would pretty her up quite nicely.

ENTRY DETAILS: Louise is plain. She doesn't like a lot of make up. She doesn't fix up her hair. She doesn't follow any fashion trends. She likes the simple things in life. Her outfits are quite ordinary and plain, both in style and color scheme. She enjoys doing her own gardening, and also loves to cook with the produce from her vegetable garden. She is in the medical career and loves to help people. Her love of books has even prompted her to join a local book club, so she can hang out with like minded book enthusiasts!
