mimi_sardiniaThere's one thing that I have turned sour on in the Sims, building and furnishing houses.
I blame this on having twelve Org families to house (I actually only have two left to house), plus two families of drow with over 5 people in each (one 5, the other 6).
Add to that the annoyance of having ready-made houses that just don't suit my purposes... Bleh. I have one really nice house in my lots bin... but it only has two bedrooms! This is not helpful! Plus I really feel my designing skills still remain rather "blocky" - a house I just looked at again and deleted showed me that.
On other things, some fo teh silly crap I've done on a nieghbourhood level is amusing me muchly. I was finally giving a lot I'd set aside for an Org family a good look-over, and... welll it's sitting facing the shoreline where Kingdom Come is located and if I pull up and out a bit I can get a great view of my shoreline edits, particularly the sea rocks.
See, while I was littering the shore with rock to disguise the crap I'd made of the coastline there with experimental lots, I also dumped some rocks in the water, so the sea view wasn't totally bland (anyone else find a plain sea view a bit boring and wish it had something like an island to break it up?). In a bit of whimsy, the rock that is directly out from KC is that one that looks like a giant head wearing glasses.
The view of that from within lots is mucho amusion.
Anyway, that block I was checking on may finally mean that Lexaeus finally gets a house.
