Yes, Landra is up and ready for downloading. I think it's the last of my small lot floorplans. If I find more I'll surely do them. I really think this one came out well. For such a small lot it offers enough space for a family. You can always lop on another floor or build out a breezeway in back to add in some basement stairs. There's room in the yard for a garage if you want one. Instead of a color theme I stuck with neutrals and earthtones. No pink or blue. A little yellow in the master bedroom but that sort of falls into the earthtone category for me. Maybe you think the wallpaper and floors are garish. I was experimenting with the palettes and colors. I like to find uses for the ugly stuff EA gives us. I mean really, would you put those patterns in your house in their original colorschemes? God no! Some are completely worthless but some are worth fussing with to get a decent color palette so they can be used and not make your eyes bleed.

Alas, my vacation is almost over. Today is officially it. Then the weekend and I'm back to the grind on Monday. I thought I'd have time to create more but I was out and about a lot more than I planned and the weather has been so nice. A rarity for Northern Illinois. We actually HAD fall this year. Oftentimes we only have two seasons here. Winter and summer. And it's not odd to have them both in the same day. I'm not kidding. Just a week or so ago we were swinging 40 to 50 degrees during the day. 30s in the morning with frost and 80s by early afternoon. You actually have to dress for two seasons. It stinks. You do have to follow the weather here closely because it is so odd. The farmers have been blessed with a beautiful harvest this year and I do hope they get their pokey butts off my roadways soon.

Ah, as for future plans... I dunno. I had really hoped to start on patterns over my vacation but it didn't happen. Nor did creating worlds. I want to dabble in that too. Sure, I can download what others have done, but I wanna learn to do it myself! That's just how I am. I crave to learn new things and you can't really gripe about something authentically unless you've experienced it yourself. I'll keep doing lots of course. That's my forte anyway. Always has been. Someday I hope to do a really fancy, impressive, impractical lot that will never be used because it's too ornate and messed up architecturally to actually use. That's so not me. If I'm not going to use it I don't make it. Period. If I had time to kill, to really explore building mechanics, eh, maybe. But I have to choose between throwing caution to the wind and making something that will be useful in my game with the limited free time I have. And honestly, EA provides me with more than enough stuff to just sit in my hood and look at. I can at least save the planet and give everyone something useful. Call me crazy. I know, I'm such the rebel. *eyeroll*

I guess I'll leave you for now. I don't have much to say that would interest you and I'd rather be playing. I started a firefighter sim the other day and he's been a blast. Woo! Woo! Woo!
