Lovely house Jo, really pretty and like a proper working farm! :D I love the creek and the barn, very nicely decorated as always too. :)

The bee hive and the animals are so cool, I wish I had a reason to download half of this stuff, it's brilliant!

Ah, M&G, another SP I need to buy at some point.... :)

You really need to get those EP's before they stop making the disks Amy. You should drop some hints to your boyfriend for Christmas. ^_^ Unless you don't mind downloads- but I don't know they seem like a piece of fairy floss to me-easy to have disappear.

The animals and the bee's are the only cc there. They are quite pricy to buy and they age too. So far the hen has laid one egg a day and if you tell the sim to eat it they just pick it up and eat it! Raw! :P I just need to afford a sow as I only got two male pigs. (Luck of the draw on pigs gender) It says they will breed by day seven.

I love the layout, its so roomy and nicely designed. The creek is awesome! Was the bridge difficult to make?
I didn't know solar panels reduced bills, that's so nice to know :D

Thanks pink. :) It is roomy. I've had no walkway issues although you could possibly on the bridge as it's only one tile wide.

I've made a few of these kinds of bridges now, so no, once you get the hang of them they aren’t. My friend did me up a start up cheat file so I only have to type 'floor on' raise the terrain to shape the bridge and type 'floor off' and smooth the ground back down. (You have to place steps, rails and flooring first)
Actually what gave me trouble was the roof- but then I'm rather bad at roofs. I should have moved the dormers, but I had the roof okay by then so they stayed a tile off. I wanted the barn to be wood with a rain tank, but there wasn't room for a tank and you need that American type of siding to make the wall door look right. Not even attempting their roofs!

I'm the worst at roofs myself, but I hate building period!

Yeah.... I really ought to install pets and M&G. I might pick up a couple more SP's eventually.

I need to find that beehive. My grandpa keeps bees. :)

Yeah I think you need M&G to be able to use my lots. I'm just too wary of AGS to even try it, too many bad stories around on that.

I found the bee hive, it's Sims Artist Union not PBK. I think Plumbbob Keep just did some recolours.

Well, this will definitely fit in Riverblossom when I get around to installing the thing. I've got the disk, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

This is really nice Jo! I am surprised you, the queen of CC, didn't put much in here :D
I downloaded it!
Could you OM the name of that animal set? That would be useful for my CtoF.

Thanks Holley. :) I put none in because I was making it for others to download. :D The animals and bee's don't come with. Certainly the creek would look better with cc plants, and none of those Maxis bushes can be pruned so you either need the more accessible plant hack, toss them or live with overgrown bushes. Creek plants don't normally get pruned after all. :)

OM? *scratches head* Err It's early so humour me, what does that stand for?
Yeah I was trying to think of the name of the site the animals came off when I was posting this. :( I thought the site might have been called sims2farm, and it's closed so the booty would be the only link.

Oh, sorry typo. I meant PM, not OM. Sorry to confuse your tired head :D

I figured after woulds that maybe you meant a PM. I've sent you two over on DD so far...

Very nice, Jo! I love the creek and bridge. :)

I'm not sure what the wind sails do either, if anything. I expect they might work like the solar panels. I'll have to test drive them somewhere. (And WHY did we never get a farm EP?! That ticks me off so much. Seems they coulda made that after Pets, ya know.)

After I reinstall I'm going to dump all the crap houses out of the bin and download nice ones, so I'll be back for this one! :D

Thanks Fuzzy. :D That start up cheat file makes it easy. :)

The wind sails turn, but since I put them with the solar panels at the same time I'm not sure if they are contributing or not. Definitely deserves a test drive.

Yes I was thinking how awesome a farm EP would have been while I was building the barn. They gave us River Blossom Hills and no farm animals.
