Rules: 1) Required shots: Please provide one overhead shot showing the layout of your room and one shot of each wall. 2) You may sharpen your pictures slightly or add text but please don't over photoshop them. We want to see how it really looks in your game. 3) Please post the pictures of your room on this thread under a spoiler. 4) If your pictures are huge please make them a little smaller. If it goes off the page and needs a slider to see it all- it’s too large. 5) Make sure to state which category it falls under. TS3, TS2 with cc or TS2 cc free. *If the first room is cc free all the rooms of that house must be cc free. Please don't have some rooms with cc and others not. You are free to place the house a second time and do one house with cc and one house without. 6) If you are entering more than one category please make each one a separate post. 7) You may post up to 10 pictures per entry. We all love to see close ups of special areas. 8) You may keep your defaults in if you have them so long as everything isn't default. Just mention what it is and what it replaces. Addition: Just for interests sake, take an overhead to show where you placed your room. This can be posted at the end of your entry but doesn't count as part of the ten picture limit. This is more to do with my own curiosity then anything. Once all entries are in a poll will be made that can be voted on. The number of votes cast will be kept tally of. If you should not post a room for some reason you will simply score zero. If you have good reasons for being late please pm either amylu or myself and we will see about an extension. Since this round requires two extra rooms you may take up to five pictures in each adjoining room. (up to 20 pictures total)

Here's the newly re-done master Bedroom Suit, TS2, CC Free: #1: An updated overhead shot of the entire first floor: #2: Updated overhead shot of just the Master Bedroom area; as it turns out, I guess I didn't mind where it was originally! #3: A shot of the lovely Master Bedroom door! #4: Thru the door you face the big decision at the end of the day: Should you go to the dresser, or go straight to bed? The first "room" you come to is the closet! #5: That second room looks like an awfully nice place to lie down for awhile.. #6: Looking left you can see into the third room, the bathroom, a little. #7: Rotating farther left you can see that there's nobody at the bathroom sink just now. #8: You're sitting in the tub, silly. #9: Yes, stand in front of the vanity, that's better. #10: Exiting the bathroom, you can turn right to leave the suite!

Love the comments modelmgt, and good thinking for the uses of the extra two rooms. ;D Here's mine, TS2 with CC It's easiest with mine to give the overhead first so you can picture where it all is. Lots of funny angles in this room, so this is the nearest I could get to what you see when you come in the main bedroom door. Looking left to what is mainly Mary-Sue's wardrobe area. I'm sure there's a drawer in there for Daniel somewhere... This is what you see turning around to look towards the back of the house, and you can see the first extra room from here. I'm afraid my Britishness took over and I decided they needed a tea making room, for early morning cups of tea. It's a pretty tiny room, so that's what it consists of, and this is the best detailed shot I could get, admittedly with cut-away walls Oh, and that shot shows the box of tea bags in the corner and the view out of the window. Right, back in the bedroom, relaxing on the bed with your cup of tea, the door on the left you can see is the main door, out into the corridor. The door on the right leads to the second extra room in the suite, the bathroom. This is what you see when you walk in the bathroom (there are two doors in, the door in front leads to the corridor), and then what you see when you walk further in: This is what's on the other side of the room, but I decided to cheat and take another picture with the walls cut-away to fit it all in. The mirror gives me away. Bathroom overhead And the whole floor overhead. The two remaining rooms and the hall are subject to change, obviously, but I got carried away decorating... One last thing, the left hand wall in this picture (the one behind the bed) is not a real wall according to the internet and it lets the weather in, so as I want to play this house afterwards, I added an internal wall and a room that isn't a room. Hope that's ok.

I love your tea room Amy! So very British but also very creative. yes the wall is fine, you can change as many internal walls as you like and I count that as internal.

Love the comments modelmgt, and good thinking for the uses of the extra two rooms. ;D Yeah well.. I used all the room that I had downstairs, so there really wasn't any other options space-wise, and still leave the upstairs part for the girls and misc. other rooms. In the original floorplan design there was a way bigger bathroom, with room to put the tub under that big window that looks out onto the backyard.. and then I had to fix the traffic problem with the stairs. lol

My TS2 custom content entry is finished! Overhead shot for orientation As you walk in The door on the left leads to Mary-Sue's dressing room. The twin beds say it all, really... To the right: The door is to the bathroom; we'll see it in a minute. His dresser: To the hallway: Daniel likes to be able to check himself out before he hits the wide world out there. Her dresser: To your right as you enter the bathroom: Actually, Daniel just likes to check himself out, period. Notice there are his-and-hers sinks as well. Straight ahead as you enter the bathroom: There is privacy film on the windows instead of curtains. To the left as you enter the bathroom: Mary-Sue's so-called dressing room: The room is so small, I had to take the picture with Walls Cutaway, which is why the reflection looks odd. Although Mary-Sue doesn't care so much about the size, since it's perfect for what she needs. CC usedAssorted extracted clutter by Alexis (available from Simvention) and crocobaura (available from MTS) 1-tile curtains centered for 2-tile windows by DJLee, from MTS Privacy film by mustluvcats, from MTS Pre-order towel rack made available by Lord Darcy, from MATY Sims Store Art Nouveau mirror and paintings, from MATY Plants by plasticbox, from MTS Converted TS3 workout gear by Amovitasims, from their LJ "Documents of Importance" papers by jon119, from MTS Bowl of olives by buggybooz, from her LJ (although you weren't supposed to be able to tell they were olives...) Recolors of Bon Voyage furniture by Zerographic, from MTS Ceiling tiles by jwoods, from MTS Bedding recolors by HystericalParoxysm, from MTS And now that I've posted mine, I can go off and look at everybody else's. Expect edited-in comments shortly! EDIT: modelmgmt, your commentary is great, as always. I like the way you're thinking outside the box with the arrangement of the rooms, too. I would never have thought to enter through the closet, but that's really cool. I also really like the way your bedroom blends with the rest of your house. Amy, those are two very different rooms. (Not a bad thing!) This room is very much Mary-Sue's, isn't it? I like the tea sets, and the bathroom is very calming. I can imagine spending a lot of time there, just soaking in the tub...

Ah, twin beds and lots of his and hers areas, you've summed up the Pleasants perfectly, Esme! Is that door to the other rooms from Maxis? It looks really nice and fits in perfectly. I love the placement of all your cc, it looks great! And the colour scheme is lovely.

Aw, nuts! I didn't credit the doors and windows! No, they aren't Maxis. They're by phoenix_phaerie over at MTS, part of her Modern Georgian Manor Build set (which comes in two parts), and I just downloaded pretty much everything she did as my compensation for not being able to get Mansion & Garden Stuff. EDIT to add link to gorgeous build mode stuff.

Model: I like your idea of entering through the closet. It makes the bedroom seem really private and quiet. Amylu: That suite would be perfect for a Bed and Breakfast! Love the tea, especially in that bed! I like the layout and colors of your bathroom too. Esme: I really like the layout of your bedroom, in particular the entry area to the bathroom. Lol the twin beds (can I say it kinda makes me feel sorry for Daniel?), they remind me of a 50s/60s sitcom! (I think I read once that the Brady Bunch was the first show to depict a married couple sharing a bed.) I love how you utilize your CC, and that little extra something in Mary-Sue's *ahem* dressing room. Master Suite - TS2 NO CC:

Lorin, can I move into your house? (The one you're building here, obviously, not your actual house.) It looks so calm and classy and inviting, all at once. I like the colors, and I like the way it all feels like one thing, very consistent. You're right about the Brady Bunch-double bed thing. But they still didn't have any toilets. I was actually thinking of the 50s/60s when I was building this, as Daniel and Mary-Sue seem to be repeating those gender roles. Although the twin beds are something of a the-chicken-or-the-egg thing, I think... Does he stray because they have twin beds, or do they have twin beds because he strays?

Oooh that sanctuary is gorgeous, it looks so relaxing! I love the bed too, and I agree with Esme, that whole house looks so inviting. ;D

Okay here is the no cc rooms. *phew* I seem so busy latley. Sorry for the somewhat gold fish bowl look on many. It was a hard place to take pictures. Over head of the bedroom. Coming into the bedroom. ...I have no idea how my screenshot program took that 1x1. The bedding might be a default? Really not sure on that. Looking from the bed to the door. Little alcove-which may or may not be sim useable. Overhead of their bathroom. Nursery Overhead of the whole floor
