@SerraNolwen, downloading and walking through your design now.
First impressions. Cute sitting area on the porch, and I definitely get the pet vibe. I like your landscaping in the front. You did good with the shading and overlap. Impressive. I love the backyard with all the play toys for the dogs. The enclosed pool is cute with the turtles. Very adorable.
The inside is just lovely. My Sim (Mikayla) decided to go play the computer, so we will start in there. This is a cute little office with a treadmill within. It looks very functional as most houses would be. I love the doors you chose for the build. They go so well with the exterior design. Well done.
The bathroom is lovely and good use of space.
I just adore this kitchen. It has a rustic but still modern feel to it. It's as if they upgraded to all modern conveniences, but still wanted that country feel. It's so pretty.
I like the children's toys (the dollhouse and puppet show) in the hallway. Again, it's like a real house. you put things where there is room. It doesn't look cluttered, in fact far from it. And it doesn't look out of place. A family would have things under the stairs and in hallways, where they could be played with.
The living room is adorable. I love that coffee table. Nice bar area. Too bad it can't function as a bar. You still managed to get a lot into this room. It's wonderful.
Second floor. Love the bedrooms. The fish tank in the master bedroom is a nice touch and goes well with pet lovers. Both the kids rooms are adorable and I love the hamster play cage.
I think the only thing I would change on the second floor is the wallpapering in the master bedroom. The color you chose is a bit green compared to your blue highlights. You might have been better with the grey instead, but that's a personal choice.
As far as the house as a whole, lighting is the only real issue. I had to buy lights to look at some rooms better. You might try utilizing the saucer lights sized down completely if you didn't want to have ceiling lights.
I think some of the walls look a little sparse as well. You might have tried some paintings or wall decor to brighten them up a little.
Overall, I love it. You did a wonderful job and it is all very pretty.
