Builders' Boulevard

AT&T and clinical depression suck big time! I only got dsl working last week and it has taken me until now to be able to focus on lots that have been claimed, completed-downloaded-placed by me, and those which are still open to be claimed.

I will be posting the list here this afternoon as I watch my Super Chargers win once again against the Raiders.. I was not thinking so did not put the lot # on the list-

Rough figures:

of 92 total lots-

49 have been claimed/taken and of those 20 have been completed/posted with link hers, then downloaded by me and placed into the world.

This leaves 43 still open

I would like to emphacize that each of the "districts" was planned after hours of studying Monet and the areas around his home of Giverny which he loved especially. This also provided for different architectural styles and a variety of garden/lake/beach types of lots plus the "french country-Monet " specific community lots which were included.

Again- for each style/type there are pictures in photo albums on our yahoo site - or you can just email me if you would like me to send them via email attachment to you and my reasoning behind each.

Some of our members have posted lots to include with links- but they were not specifically built for Sunrise Impressions and unfortunately did not comply with the district-/lot type - or were for lots already taken. If anyone thinks that one or several of their builds uploaded to the bbs might fit into the theme of Monet I urge you to check the database for an open lot of that type and with the style required per the district and use intended.

I am sure from the 72 still open or outstanding lots that we will go through the rest of the year on this project. Hopefully enthusiasm for our Sunrise Impressions world will be renewed soon!

btw- NONE of the lots I claimed have been completed so therefore- I need to get working!

First off, I am very happy to see you back here. I hope you can get the depression worked out. I have been feeling a bit over-whelmed the past few days myself and I am working at trying not to get "down". I ran out of my herbs I was taking and can't afford to get more until later this month.

As soon as I am up to it I will see if I can sign up for a few more lots. I still need to finish the one I have signed on for. I was thinking I may like to take the few houses around it. I'll just have to wait and see.

Again, good to see you back!

Welcome back

I need to upload my second garden even though it says finished

Welcome back,

I claimed a second lot a while ago but I have a lot on my plate right now, I hope it is ok that it might take some time to finish Otherwise just let me know and I will unclaim. I really liked building my first lot and I'm looking forward to building this second one.

Take care and I'm glad to see you back.

9  18x16 Mirabella 380 King's Royal Kitchen Gardens

SRuth- I can do this if you give me a little direction. Do you see this as a walled in garden? (if so what wall since I'll want it to match the rest of the complex.) I'm assuming strictly and orchard and food harvestables? Is it community or residential? If residentual perhaps a simple gardner's hut? (bed, bath, place to fix meals?)

I am going to go claim a lot... I think... if I can figure out where the list is.

Yea! renewed enthusiasm!

The list will be sometime tonight.. am actually cleaning! - only because I can't write my notes on my sims3 plans/steps- or even use the mouse without triggering a pinched nerve, if I don't clean...

Robodl - before my 'life-challenge' hit when I went to the database one day you had added 'completed' to it.. but yes, I now know who has been naughty and who has been nice.. lol..your first garden was so wonderful I am anxious to see this second one..

Tola- I forsee this project going at least thru the end of this month.. we have only had close o half of the lots claimed and about 22 lots completed with links to download and place from.

and I am the biggest lagger of all -

bulfrog- yes, this is a community lot-but only for those who are in service to the king- they plant, tend and harvest his vegetables and orchards.. I will check thru my pictures and notes for an example for you later tonight/early tomorrow am..

simeve - you can review the database - there are several different districts such as 'kings royal complex', 'village', 'seaside', 'manor home', 'ancients', 'specials', 'rabbit hole combinations' etc.. each is a different style of architecture, and 'curb appeal' but all were selected after intense study of Monet's life, his favorite places to go, and the countryside surrounding his home.. it's our tribute to one of the most talented and progressive artists the world has ever seen.. - if you need or want clarification on any that stirke you as desireable to build just email me or post here..

I do have a question. I found the database and looked over it. I couldn't find descriptions of what each area is supposed to look like. I am a bit confused and no good with forums really so if you could clarify for me I would be grateful. I saw the individual lot dexcriptions but I was under the 'immpression' that there was  certain look for each area as well. Are we trying to create the look of a monet painting or just the countryside that he lived in? Sorry to be so confused and confusing...:wink:

Take your time SRuth. I won't be able to get to it until this weekend anyway.

I posted a couple of the lots I have finished in the lot list thread. I am going to work on the other ones tonight and tomorrow. We have to go out of town for a funeral and I am not sure if I wil be able to get them done by the weekend.

Let me know what you think of the lots. I hope they are okay. I was excited and may of made the one too big, not sure, lol.
