Lot tour: Tim and Marius's house
The other day, I put up a post explaining my absence and I said I'd "finished" Tim and Marius's house. There was a reason for those quotes! They went into a fair bit of debt to buy this place, so their garden is completely bare, as are all the spare bedrooms. So it's "finished" in that it's playable but it's a little bare bones, so this is a relatively short tour!
But let's get started anyway!
The house is one I probably downloaded from MTS a long time ago. It's been sitting in the hood for ages, so it would be literal years ago at this point! I changed all the exterior fittings, apart from the stairs.

She lives!
Hi everyone, I hope 2022 is treating you well so far! Omicron is raging in New South Wales at the moment, so I'm not going anywhere I don't have to (I'm triple-Pfizered but it's not a risk I'm willing to take), which has meant I've had plenty of time for the game.
I had a crashing issue that I procrastinated on solving, even though I was fairly certain I knew exactly where the problem file was. I just couldn't work up the motivation to fix it! But I did that last week, finally, and it only took me about an hour, all up.
So once I did that, I was able to "finish" furnishing Tim and Marius's place, which I will share in a lot tour here on the blog in a couple of days' time. After that, it will either be my uni kids or March birthdays. I have to check my birthday list to see if there's anyone I need to post an update on before I decide.
I would like to try to be more present here this year, so fingers crossed I can do it!

Lot tour: Mitchell and Caitlin set up house!
I have a very short lot tours for you today! I finished Caitlin and Mitchell's house a little while ago but it's taken me this long to get the tour up! They had quite a bit of money left over when I finished, so I was able to pay off a decent chunk of their mortgage as well.
So this house started its life as a house built by Starr, over at Apple Valley. You can see the original in its pixelated, neighbouring lot form to the left in this pic.
Quite a while ago, I saw this house on one of those house design shows. It's in Sydney, not far from the part of the city where I grew up and it used to be a small carpark until an architect converted it into a house. And for some reason, it always stuck in my head and one day, I decided I'd try to recreate it in the game, using Starr's house as a base. And this is the result. I took it as a very loose inspiration, so it's not an exact recreation! It sat in my hood empty for a couple of years until about a month ago.
