As I suggested, I am back with the third attempt. Please be so kind to give your opinions.Third Time is the Charm, or so it's said …Spoiler (Highlight to read)Front:https://i.imgur.com/0hf5xe2.jpgRight Side:https://i.imgur.com/NRtUbVf.jpgLeft Side:https://i.imgur.com/6IAryBj.jpgRear View:https://i.imgur.com/SzoJAWR.jpgClose-Up Toddler Fence:https://i.imgur.com/RKKuxok.jpgAnother Angle of the backyard.

If you look closely you can see my Rock Star climbing out of the pool:https://i.imgur.com/bj9PsMk.jpgAs you can likely see, I've moved the house closer to the fence in front and centered it better on the lot. I added a bit of whimsy, which I hope you catch. :) The big house on the hill is his only sister's house.Don't be shy, do speak out. And thank you so much. I tried to incorporate as many of the wonderful ideas that resonated with me. You are all so very creative. :)

Oh this is nice! and it looks much more balancedand kiddos have safe play area away from pool :blush:

It looks great, I love the chicken hedge army :smiley: Oh but there is a fence going through the back stairs.

Good catch! I think I took the shot prior to me noticing the problem. It has since been removed. The fencing that blocks the steps, that is.

@PlanetSixam Your lot is gorgeous. My only problem with not using a full fence (which does indeed look great!) is that the owner is a very popular Global Superstar. He has a Stan and at least two Obsessed Fans. So, for security's sake he needs a full fence to protect not only himself, but his wife and children. :) Thank you so much for sharing. I love your lot.

Thank you for your input. I may move the Chicken Coop, but the diving platform can't be closer to the footpath, the pool isn't long enough at that end. As for the sun loungers, my Sims don't sunbathe. (If I can't, they're not allowed to, either. LOL) Skin cancer runs in my family, I was ordered out of the sun about thirty years ago. I don't miss laying around in the sun one little bit. Besides, where would I put the garden?

If they don't sunbathe, you could make an indoor pool so your sims could use the pool year round. You could also add some space for indoor gardening by the pool area. Regarding the chicken coop, you could make it a feature in your vegetable garden outside so you don't have a separate enclosure just for the chickens.

;) You really need those lawn chairs, don't you. Where inside would you put the pool? Basement, maybe? I won't gut the inside, that doesn't make sense. But, I do thank you for your input, all the same. Let's just say we agree to disagree, okay?

No need for lawn chairs if you aren't going to use them. The pool could stay where it is, just covered. My input is just a suggestion, you asked for input, but if it doesn't fit your aesthetics you don't need to implement any of it.

I am very grateful for your input and I wrote what I did because I didn't want you to think I merely blew it off. And to let you know why I'm not going with your ideas. Doesn't mean for a minute that I didn't appreciate your thoughts, that I asked for. Thank you. :)

I think that it looks very nice. It has a more relaxed and comfortable outdoors vibe now. I am sure that your sims will enjoy it.

I think the front could use some larger windows and maybe some planter boxes. You could pull out the wall so that the windows come out from the house and are square, like dormer windows. The windows on the front of the house look a little small, so I would use the larger windows that came with Seasons. The window is "Wide and tall knotty". Are you using tall walls? It seems like there is a lot of space between the bottom floor window and the upstairs windows.

I would also switch the pool area and chicken coop. Like put the pool over by the steps and the chicken coop to the right side.

I would consider making the foundation stone.

I would replace the very tall skinny trees with some that are oak that came with Cottage living. You can find them by typing in bb.showliveeditobjects. I just think some bushier trees would look nice with the build.

I made the foundation stone, and I switched out the trees, too. Removed the jungle trees, and the ficas just outside of the gates. I'll post the final picture.

Here is Erik Cantrell's house, as it stands, now: Please note I did change the foundation to stone, as opposed to brick.
