Lot tour: Anna and Emil's house

Anna and Emil are the family up in my game, so like everyone else, they needed a new house. I did this one for them this week. You can download the original version from MTS. I've changed the layout slightly, because I just can't with front doors opening into the kitchen! Just one of my little things.

So here it is! There is also a pretty awesome pool off to the side, which you can't see. You can probably see it better at MTS. I've barely touched the outside at all. Please don't mind the windows! I meant to change them all to the ones on the right but apparently, I got distracted. ;)

Lot Tour: Veronaville Villa Makeover

For the N99 Project in May, the challenge was to make over the Veronaville Villa, a house in the EA hood of Veronaville and turn it into a community lot. I didn't get started on it until June, because I had absolutely no clue what I was going to do with it! You've already seen this lot in the last update but I thought some of you might want to take a closer look at it as well.

Welcome to Exeter's as-yet-unnamed day spa, selectively photographed here so you can't see that there is bamboo poking through the roof at several points. ;)
