This was my 4th round entry in the Foundations contest, run here about 6 weeks ago (I know, I should've uploaded this much sooner hehe). The link to the original post can be found HERE.

Evermore Cottage
Located in the woodlands not far from Simalot Castle lies the quaint Evermore Cottage, owned by Lord Builds-Madly and his fiance Lady Sims-Much. After a number of years adventuring in far away lands at the behest of the King of Simalot they decided to retire with the modest hoard of gold they had acquired to this little cottage.

As his father was before him, Lord Builds-Madly is an accomplished carpenter and builder so he wanted to find a place out in the woodlands where he could ply his trade and build a family. Thus he and his fiance decided to purchase Evermore Cottage, a small rural abode set out amongst the trees with enough space for the Lord to build a stable and barn and for the pair to settle down and start a family.

I think that was all the "custom" content, free from the Sims Store stuff, the rest should be normal expansion content (WA, Amb, HEL) but if I missed anything please let me know.

Side Notes
For those wondering the chimney does smoke when the fireplace is lit, though the chimney itself is fake (because EA's chimneys are ugly and can't be recoloured)! It's a 1x1 box built from the roof level up with the top of the original chimney to provide the smoke effects (required some CFE and MoveObjects to get placement right), and the chimney running up the outside wall is also fake! It's really just a few carefully textured and placed Buy Mode objects to give the wall an illusion of chimney.

The stable on the left side of the house is actually the perfect size to hold 3 bike / scooter stands should you wish to put in some thoroughbred 2 wheeled transportation .

Lot Size: 3x3
Lot Price: See info
