The Four Phases of Landscaping, Including the Final Result! PICTURES

I wish to thank All of the participants in the three polls I took regarding the problematic landscaping of my Rock Star's home in Henford-on-Bagley. I very much wanted it to fit in to the community there in New Old Henford, but also be relevant to a Celebrity's status. So, I will show, the house in it's stages. The back and sides have not changed since the third round, but I did change the front and the foundation.

Phase One:
(As you can see I hadn't done a great deal with the landscaping, as I was still evaluating if I even needed them to have farm animals.)
Front:

Back:

After evaluating the opinions:
{When I first plunked the pre-existing build onto this lot, it was turned away from where the Sims land upon their return. So, seeing I would have more room out back, I flipped it. Unfortunately, it was too close to the right of the property and too far from the gate, as one player suggested. My bad.)

Phase Two:

Back:

(As can been seen I placed a pond on the property, as suggested. However, even when I moved shrubs, my Sim could 'play in the water', despite the option in the menu. So, obviously, more changes were required.)

Again after taking the suggestions that rang true to me: (IE I fixed my original error and moved the house forward and centered it better. This is what I came up with.)
Phase Three:

Right Side:

Back:

Again, taking into consideration the suggestions made, this is what I ended up with. The back and sides remained as they were in phase three.
Final Phase:

I do hope I truly Nailed it, this final time around. I know I'm rather happy with it and I thank ALL of you for your varied and useful suggestions. I did listen. Thank you!

    That looks amazing! You did a great job!!


    Thank you so much, but I had a lot of great advice along the way! This is a downsized version of a house I've built beginning in Sims2. The original house has since been torn down to my deepest regret. It belonged to my now deceased Grand Uncle and his wife. They had no children, so that when Aunt Marie passed away, it went to her nephew, sadly. She would be overwrought that he sold the property to developers to make an apartment building. she flat out refused to sell it. It already had three functioning apartments inside. So sad. I downsized it recently to fit into my ancestral game, but decided to play-test it, so to speak in HoB.

    Thank you, @SweetieWright_84 I did my best to listen to all of the wonderful suggestions. I left the pool outdoors, but that's another matter. So glad you like the end results.
