Little Tiki Idol

I am miffed when I upload a lot with premium content that includes \"little tiki idol.\"  Because I don\'t ever recall using the little tiki idol.  ??

I uploaded The Bangorang and The Single today.. play-tested and all, which is something I\'m ashamed to say I didn\'t do for my first three lots. ;_;

I think for a while I will probably work on developing my toons for a while... I feel like, with the modular homes I\'ve been working on, I work too hard to accurately reproduce certain features that don\'t translate well in game.  I should know better... about the whole scale and context thing.

I\'m still very proud of my homage to Cherry Blossom lane, and now The Single.  I think The Single is my favorite... My friend invited me to a bbq at his friends\' home.  They had the sweetest garden, and most of the fare, minus the meat, was grown by the gal who owned the house.  I didn\'t actually venture into the bedroom or bathroom, but I assume the layout is something similar to what I made.

Yuniko, my reclusive artist girl, my sort-of alter-ego, is enjoying living there very much.

I love tiny houses.  My interest in modular homes began when a friend of mine showed me Tumbleweed Houses .  I\'m enamored of their compact efficiency.  On the other hand, irl, I hope to one day own a good-sized home (read: bigger than a Tumbleweed), because I would like a nice big room in which I could do my Wii Active exercises.  Currently, I have to be careful not to hit something if I want to do a thorough follow-through swing in Tennis.
Villa Berkel

I uploaded my rendition of Paul de Ruiter\'s Villa Berkel.

I must stay, I think the actual house is much more striking in real life.
A Lofty Oasis

I uploaded another house... this time a 2br/2.5ba house on the beach.  The exterior is based on the Garden and Sea House .  Interior was way too complicated to replicate, what with the stairs and the mirrored windows.  I made the front \"window\" mirrored and the back window normal.  I love modular houses.  So modern!
Hommage a la Fleur de Cerise

Man, I love this game.  I can spend hours just building... but I\'m so neurotic about it sometimes I wind up leveling all of my lots.  Anyway... I built this house based on the first house I lived in \"on my own\" (read: with 3 friends).  I rented there a year, although I only actually lived there for a few months because shortly after moving in I met the guy who would be my fiance.  My former house-mates are pretty cool, and all moved on to a spacious though older duplex/condo/thing without me.  (Er, the \"premium\" items are the counters....)

Anyway... my recollection of my house-mates\' furnishings/bedrooms is even less accurate since I didn\'t hang out in their rooms so much.  I feel like I got Maggie\'s room all wrong because I can count on my hand the number of times I\'ve been in there.  I do vaguely remember that all of her linens/bath stuff was coordinated, though.

Plus there are lots of empty bits... the downstairs linen closet (where we hid one set of the original owner\'s ugly-*** orange curtains, as well as the cleaning supplies), and the laundry room (across from the linen closet).  I remember in Sims 1 somebody modded statues into washer/dryers...

I wonder if and when they\'ll add wall-mounted microwave ovens... that\'ll up my accuracy even more....

Well, there are some captioned screenshots in My Media to go along with it (everything titled \"Cherry Blossom [something]\").
