Myrtle Cottage

Another small Family home for your sims. Myrtle Cottage only has 2 bedrooms, but if you like, you can make acces to the first floor by a ladder or a staircase and take the squaremetres up there into use. I have chosen not to, I just wanted some height to the built in order to stay in the Dragon Valley Style.
This house also have 1 bathroom, a kitchen and a living/dining room. In the garden you can try to catch dinner in the charming private fish pond.

Bianca´s House

When I started in preschool I met a circus princess! Or at least she was as exotic as one. In Denmark in the later 1960´ies we were all fair haired and blue eyed, but Bianca was dark as the night, with long black curls and big brown eyes, it was even said, that her father was french! Now that was really rare, an achievement actually, who else in the whole wide world had a french father?
Well, he was not around, anyway, her mother had married another man, blond and pink as a pig, just like the rest of us, so the poetry was withering.

Besides we never really became pals Bianca and I, as we lived in two opposite ends of the town. But I still feel so ashamed when I think about the day, when her woman´s magazine with folded pages for scraps fell from the table and the scraps came out. Bianca wasn´t there to save her treasure, and the rest of us threw ourselves over the scraps and stole the best of them. Including some with gold or silver mica(?) on them. Children can be really mean some times!

I don´t know where Bianca is today or how her life is. We moved out of town when I was 10 and I lost touch.

But Bianca lived in a house that looked like the one I have made for you today. Because to me it has always been almost as exotic as the girl.

 I passed it on my way to town the other day and found, that it probably had been exactly as small as I recalled, because now, there was an extension just as ugly and big as the real house was pretty and small. I certainly didn´t want that in my game, so if you want room for a large family, you´d better look for another house.

Tempohytten, CC-free version

As a lot of you guys try to go a little easy on the custom content, I have decided to offer you a cc-free version of the renovated Tempohytten.
It has become a bit less meringue-like without all those lace and knick-knacks, which is getting somewhat closer to my own personal taste. But I still feel a bit queasy when I look at it. I´m glad I don´t have to live there, even though I wouldn´t mind the garden.

From nothing to romantic shed

I have no Idea of the name of this house in other languages than danish, but it is from Appaloosa Plains, 19440 Carrotfield or something :)
The lot is my entry to a challenge at the danish site Sims 3 Byggeforum in which we could order our own challenge, selecting between a few given neighborhoods and whether we wanted to renovate an existing lot or build all a new. With these choices,  the dice were thrown and would decide how we were to fulfill our individual entry. I was told to go to the adress mentioned and renovate the house in a romatic style and this is what I have ended up with. I´m especially proud of the working fishpond/pool, as I have never done such a thing before.
Bella Rosenquist was just leaving her parents home with next to nothing in her savings. But she could buy this house and with the help from friends, a paintbrush, hard work and findings she turned the place into a gorgeous little den. She even managed to restore the small pond who used to be on her land before the big mashines came and turned everything into  flat land. The water is so clean, you can actually swim there, and the frogs may be returning soon!

Old doesn´t always mean oldfashioned

Here for instance is an older house totally restored and up to date.
I do try to decorate my houses in a taste, that I would ascribe to the sims I imagine would move in. So most of the time it´s not necessarily what I would like in my own house. Years of playing with this game has also taught me some about cultural differences: things, materials, colours that are totally hot in the States are not the same as here in Scandinavia. The longer distance in kilometres the bigger difference in home-decor. But that is just the charm and fun about it all.

This will be the largest upload yet on Window to My Sims 3.
And what a house!
The lot is actually not very big, only 25x25, but it´s almost 100 % developed.
You can live here with your children and your parents without even having to meet each other, maybe even your grandparents can have one of the 6 bedrooms.

Cyprinus Put and Take

Some time, all on your own with a fish rod ....Sims need entertainment just like the rest of us, and to some of them a fishing expedition is the definition of fun. Now not all anglers are fond of travelling but they want to catch all possible kinds of fish anyway, and now they can, if you have the World Adventure-Expansion that is. Because I have made a "put and take"-fishing park and larded it with all kinds of fish from the foreign destination. And your sim can even stay for days, as the place has a bed and breakfast as well:
