Ah, this is my second baby - a wallpaper set that turned out surprisingly well for my meager skillz...go figure.



The other's are direct links since the pictures are so damn big.

I need a tester.  A long time ago, Darqstar and I made a kitchen set.  You can see it here:

I decided to try and update the fridge for AL.  I downloaded the files from Lord Darcy over at MATY and replaced the TTAB and TTA.  Then I realized I don't have AL installed.  Which probably makes my fridge unusable in my own game, and I certainly cannot test it.  I can always download it again, I guess.  Anyway, if anyone has AL and is willing to test this fridge, I would appreciate it:

PrincessKoriandr those walls look really nice!  Especially the green and blue.

TapThatBooty - Thanks.  I don't have AL or IKEA (I want that in a bad way)  so I had to make my own.  Of course I've seen them all over now that I've made them.

Paleo I stuck your fridge in my game to give it a test but it's not showing up in my appliance catalog. Is it called Moderne Kitchen? I can see from the picture that it looks a bit like the Coldinator but without the handles, but damned if I can find it. Are you sure it's cataloged correctly? It's a stupid question I know just figured I'd check.

Oh ya and I would have called it Kitchen Moderne. I like the name but if your going to use French spelling you should the grammar too. It might just be me and the way I'm used to hearing things but it flows better with the hard K at the beginning. Not that you asked for or wanted my opinion, I just thought I would share. Tell me to stuff it if you want. Nevermind I just realized that we're probably not even pronouncing moderne the same way. Carry on.

Same thing here Tomato, it's not showing up.

I've just got a new pc and can finally play my beloved Sims again. *hands out rum to everyone* 
I decided to try and build a home for a single that costs less than 20.000. At the moment I only have the base game so I've settled using the things from that + 2 pieces of CC.
The result is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom house with a combined kitchen/livingroom which has a tiny "garden" (I've chosen to overlook the fact you're not supposed to have soil in a kitchen).
With furniture the house ends up costing 19,779 - there is equipment for all skills except body. Without furniture it costs somewhere around 12,500.
If any of you guys have some ideas about how I can make it better then I'd love to hear them



Lower floor:


Upper floor:

(the sim in the picture has been removed from the lot again, the picture was taken during a small testrun)

The pieces of CC used are "Garden Flowers W/O ground" by Targa (MTS2) and "Zita's Flowering Climbing Vine" by Aussietopenders.
As you clearly can see I am very new at building houses.  

[Paleoanth]

Thanks Ken and Lirael.  I appreciate the testing. 

[SoggyFox]

I like it, it looks really cute!

And this next bit is not intended to be self-promoting - but if you'd rather have those metal stairs without all those posts underthem, I made a version without which is at mts2 under Reyn - then if you wanted, you could put the garden under the stairs.

Lest we forget, or at least lest I forget my shameless self-promotion. I have retired from creating, as how could I top this?

PrincessKoriandr: What s/he said lol.

HugeLunatic: I have everything, but only up to IKEA installed, I don't have AL installed, cos for some reason, whenever I build a roof larger than 12x12 tiles, my whole game freezes, odd.
You may have seen them around the place, but I haven't, so I am in awe with only you, and cos I've only seen yours, me now love you long time  .
I'd love some small decorative items though, like the oh so cute ones that came with AL, they are great for shelves, plus I put the 14" tv on them too, the one Numenor made.

And now I'm babbling sorry.

You are a god of green flamingoes.   I shall sacrifice unto thee all flamingoes that are not green.

You can try taking away the ground tiles outside and instead use a terrain paint. That might lower the cost some and allow for body building equipment. Also, you can try taking out the chess set and chairs and put in just the telescope for logic; try that and see how the cost adds up. Um..the only other thing...you can try for the ultra cheap couch or just two dining chairs. Considering that the house only has a double bed, you're only going to have up to two Sims to start with.

But, that's if you're looking to get all the skill building objects in there and are looking to lower cost. Otherwise, the house looks spiffy.

I've been working on a set of windows, on and off, for awhile. I decided to post pictures of the first window of the set here, to see what you think. This particular window is a single tile full length Tudor arch. The second picture is a detail of the same window. Comments, anyone?

[SoggyFox]

Oh, wow - those are gorgeous *holds out grubby paws* want nao!
