I don't know how you're able to have such beautiful landscaping, maintain such a high level of detail, and keep within the item limit!
One more thing...I love your seaside lookout! I have to tell you here—a lookout is my current project (blush). I just don't want you to feel offended if you think I stole your idea. I swear I haven't/won't!
I'm looking forward to trying to get into a party of yours. What excellence!
@VintageStarlette I am blushing here! Thank you for your kind words. 😊
I don't think anyone, given your wonderfully original concept / house / Sims, would imagine you were stealing their ideas.
I did have a recent friend request who proceeded to to tear down their house and rebuild it just like mine. I *am trying to* take it as a compliment. 😄 (I think I'm most miffed that the postbox on theirs isn't halfway up the drive.)
The item limit... and now resolution problems on a large screen...*sigh* (The latter's off topic but I've posted about it in the Technical forum.)
I'm beginning to think I'm not playing this game the way EA want me to...
Would you believe I've yet to throw my first party?!

@TigerblueDoodles I don't think I'm playing the way they want me to either. I like the Sims Stories but I like the Sims Home Design better. You aren't the only one that likes designing better. 😉😊☺
- 8 years ago@TigerblueDoodles You are far more Zen than I am. It's crossed my mind before, "What would I do if...?" Probably kick and scream for a couple days, then raze my house and reinvent it in a completely different style.
No, I can't believe you haven't thrown your first party. That makes invites a hot-hot-hot commodity!
I'm with @PaQuilter1 —It's all about style, Baby. 😎 - 8 years ago
Style is most definitely my focus lol. I love the stories too, but there’s nothing i love more than rearranging and decorations my house!
I don’t know if were friends in game? I love you’re layout and that yoga room out the back is my favourite room. I dont know why, but i love the idea of a seperate Zen area. That’s why i have a whole room in the middle of my house for it lol.
@VintageStarlette @TigerblueDoodles I too want the waterfront views lol! That’s why i keep building across and I’m trying so hard to save money to clear more land at the back for that purpose. I just keep finding things, like 4,000 simolean hairstyles to spend all my money on 🤦🏻♀️
I came across the most gorgeous and unique design/layout the other day and took some pics. I do hope HeavenlyGoddess doesn’t mind me sharing them, but its just stunning!
Oh and thank you for explaining the dreaded item limit @PaQuilter1
- 8 years ago@Finealta WOW!!!! It's like...nothing I've seen before! That looks like an artist's dream retreat!
It's a good thing we don't have a choice to buy fashions and hairstyles for the children. That would put a halt to any future projects for me. Weak!!! - 8 years ago
@VintageStarlette Isn’t just stunning?!! I’ve never seen another like it. I was going through my friends list (because its almost full AGAIN!) and i always check the homes to see if i recognise players characters to avoid getting rid of friends whose names on here are different in game. I’m so stuck now. I have like two slots open and i’m Not sure who all the latest friends requests are from and i’ve Run out of inactive players to kick off my list.
Oh and my lord... can you imagine if we could by clothing as well as hair for those little ones?!!! We’d not have a penny to our names!

@Finealta Whoever designed it really had an eye for design. The use of the land space is amazing and it has a lush feel. I love it. Thanks for sharing it! 😊☺

@Finealta And I despise the "Item Limit". It cramps my style. Lol 😋😊
- 8 years ago@PaQuilter1 Haaaa!!! Punny! You're on a roll! 😆🤣😂

@FinealtaThank you very much - the yoga room is my favourite part, too. I actually rebuilt the entire house around that room. It was my answer to not being able to place the yoga mat etc outside - and now I'm really happy with it! The arches I used there also gave me the idea for the terrace area. Then I rebuilt everything else from there.
I do like how your Zen area is so central (assuming it hasn't changed since you last posted pics). Sets the tone beautifully, I think! I will PM you my code, just in case you have a spot that opens up on your list.
@FinealtaAnd three cheers for Heavenly Goddesses's design! Gorgeous - I love the colours and how they make something that's separate whole. Really great use of those huge windows, too.
@Finealta@VintageStarletteYes, it's all about the views (as well as style! @PaQuilter1). I'm saving two plots in the centre (at the back edge) for a swimming pool should one ever appear in game. (And should I ever be able to place/see one due to item limit/resolution problems, grrr.... (Sorry, off-topic but couldn't resist a dig...)) Mind you, it could be 2020 before my Sims are able to afford to buy them, so perhaps those issues will have resolved by then!
- 8 years ago@TigerblueDoodles Your fans will wait with bated breath to 2020 and beyond!

@VintageStarlette Hehe. I've told both of them that they will just have to!

@Simfanatic08 Your house looks so great!!! Your Sims match your house, too! 😍 Your hard work totally shows. Can't wait to visit for your party! 🖤🖤🖤
- 8 years ago
@Simfanatic08We are all kinda stuck with our current homes and decorations due to the item limit. I honestly can't wait for it to increase so we can fire this tread up with our redecorated homes 😁
- 8 years ago
You got that right, @ava7171. Ziegfeld, here I come!
- 8 years ago
@VintageStarlette Thank You for helping and being an inspiration!
@ava7171 I can only imagine the frustration of not being able to do anything else with designing your house. Can't wait till this item limit is figured out so I can see all your beautiful redecorated homes!!
- PaQuilter18 years agoHero (Retired)
@Simfanatic08 I love the way your house looks and the touch of pink is gorgeous! ☺😊
- 8 years ago
@Simfanatic08 I really like the entrance to your home; it's so pretty. I think the different shades of wallpaper tie it all together really well, too; it looks great. The yoga / bubble blower room is my favourite part, though - if the yoga doesn't calm you, then maybe the bubbles will. 😊
@ava7171 Me too!
@VintageStarlette Can't wait to see!
- 8 years ago
Thank you, @TigerblueDoodles! It means a lot coming from you, cause your house is utterly fantastic!! I laughed about the yoga/bubbler room, but so true! Lol!
- 8 years ago
@TigerblueDoodles Ha! I can't wait to see either! EA will have to blow that item limit sky-high to accommodate the stars' grand visions! LOL!

That's the loveliest compliment to receive @Simfanatic08, thank you. 🙂 It's interesting, isn't it, how many of us have chosen to devote a whole room to the yoga hobby items. Certainly wish-fulfillment on my part. *I'll take that sea-view, too, while I'm at it, please.*
@VintageStarlette Too true - and you need at least 4 more storeys, too! And btw, if we ever get pools, I am also anticipating a full Esther Williams synchronised swimming spectacle from you. Just so's you know. 😉

Your homes are so fabulous!! So inspiring.
I desperately want to change my whole layout but ATM every time I move a decor item into storage I seem to lose that space, really fearful if I crate everything I’ll end up with less space (item limit) to decorate the new layout 😥
