Things You Were Supposed to See Ages Ago

genlisaeFirst, thank you to everyone who left comments on my last post. I do appreciate it and I am grateful for your support. It just seems strange to go through and say thank you to everyone and I am not sure what else to say. My awkwardness, it is epic.
I think I have mentioned before that I really miss my sims. Like a lot. One of the things I miss the most is my hood makeovers. I was having fun with those and really looking forward to sharing the best bits with everyone. Obviously, that didn't get to happen.
Until Mathew said "try it on my computer, then we know if it is your game or you computer."
It is officially my computer ... and I took some of those pics I wanted to share while I was on his computer! Hehe! I get to share after all! I do want to say though, they are not the best pics I have ever done. I don't have Fraps on Mathew's computer and I am really not used to the in game camera, so ... yeah.
Veronaville. This one you have seen before. What you haven't seen is what is going on across the river there.
This is the Capp side of town. Specifically in the area I have come to call the Capp Estate. Living in a rural setting, it made sense to me that the Capps would have made their fortune all those generations ago in agriculture (My version has the Monty's being the livestock side of the equation). They have downsized the worked land surrounding Capp Manor over the years, but there is still a core of orchards and fields attached. Everything between the gate posts is still part of the estate. That little red barn was a ton of fun to build.
At the end of the street, separated from the manor proper by a lemon grove is the staff quarters/motorpool. This was a set built for a side story I had planned which would have delved more into Tybalt's background and given a bit more insight into where he is coming from. I doubt that story will ever happen now, but seeing the set itself might provide a few peeks.
Inside the garage which takes up the entire lower floor of the building. Consort has a preference for black vehicles. Juliette has plans to sell half of them and have the rest painted to anything BUT black.
Upper floor, staff housing. It is not a terrible gig working for the Capps.
Though the red might get a tad boring after a while.
Now for my favourite part!
Capp Manor, that actually looks like something you would call "Capp Manor". The lot size was increased to a 5X6 though the original footprint of the house remains. It has been added to. A lot.
Hedge maze remains, though it has been reworked from the original version which appeared in Pleasantries. The maze is not the purpose to this pic though. See that door on the side of the ground floor? That is the purpose to this pic. Remember that door.
Main floor with kitchen, dining room and attached deck, Consorts office and a ton of space for entertaining.
Upper floor. blue bedroom is Consort's. Tan was Tybalt's (yes, was), blue bath, peach bath, mint bath, pink bath. Pink Bedroom is Juliette's, complete with balcony which will be making an appearance in Pleasantries ... because I HAVE to. Seriously. Black/purple room belongs to Hermia.
Okay. Remember that door? The one on the bottom floor that you can still see on the lower right corner of the image above? That door leads to my favouritest thing ever.
Back at the beginning of chapter 4 of Pleasantries, Tybalt and Jules were in the under renovation Capp basement discussing (amoung other things) turning it into Tybalt's space.
This is that space! A fully self contained suite with space to add on a darkroom.
A very pretty self contained suite.
Seriously. I love everything about this suite and was giddy when it came together so well.
Plus, I think it suits him.
I think it suits him really well.

Date: 2012-11-14 07:31 am (UTC)My sims (some of them anyway) are kind of back .. sort of in a challenge at least! This makes me happy, something light and fun ... now taking bets on how long it takes before a story I wasn't intending sneaks up on me *eyeroll*
