I'm not a creator. I really just love playing. I've always had an obsession with architecture, so I especially love building houses.
I've never uploaded anything, anywhere. Mostly because I'm not sure how, but also because I tend to use almost nothing but custom content. My downloads folder is at a little over 10 gb at the moment, and I have virtually no method of organization since I never planned to upload anything (and back when I started, I didn't know any better). I don't know where to start to give credit to all the amazing creator's that make it all possible.
Despite this, I have been dying to show someone what I do, someone who can actually appreciate what goes into building and decoratiing. Feel free to tell me if you hate it. I welcome your criticism.
I hope it's ok to have this many pics in one post. I know it's a lot, but I spent all night taking them. It was so hard to just show 8 when I took 22 pics altogether.
This house is my most recent. It's loosely based on the houses I saw in some of the more affluent neighborhoods in and around Seattle, WA. In RL, the garage would be contained within a finished basement, and the driveway would have a steep slope down to the garage door. I wanted to do that with this house, but I'm still trying to master the use of the 'constrainfloorelevation' boolprop.

I'm still looking for some really good climbing ivy or kudzu type plants for the back wall, foundation level.

I could make another version of this house, using only maxis stuff (it wouldn't be as good), but I still don't know how to .package it.
Could someone point me to a good tutorial, if there is one? Or is it simpler than I think?
