Also I really like the coffee table and end tables and I love this lamp...... Now if you didn't have orange walls...my shag art painting would have looked really good in there but than again it might have looked good on those walls This post has been edited by texkit1 on Jul 16 2006, 11:18 AM

Mac Daddy Group: SWARMies Posts: 565 Member No.: 317 Joined: 10-August 05	I can't believe I'm so late with the wcif's... sorry! The cat is from one of Mango's Sims sets. There's also a black cat in another set. The lamps and tables are by Shannanigan, either at TSR or MTS2. Toy box is from Mango Sims. I'd love to build some houses, but I need to check if the game I have on my other computer is 100% hack-free first. This post has been edited by alexpilgrim on Sep 23 2006, 11:55 AM

Since I saw your house, I have been downloading a few more retro like items. Especially the walls. Love the colors. There is a new site called Retro Sims.....but forgot to bookmark it .....will post the site when I come across it again. Also just checked and Shannanigan is at TSR......she has done several retro sets and clothes. Will keep my eye on their freebies......will come up sooner or later. Thanks Alex This post has been edited by texkit1 on Sep 23 2006, 11:50 AM

Definitely have the decorating touch! I have all of Shannanigan's stuff from TSR -- she also has a site but doesn't update it. Yes, I saw the site too -- Retro Sims -- supposed to be updating again soon but didn't say when. Can I put my order in for the house you showed us Alex

(lol)

I always forget that PC users have that... this particular house I bulldozed though... I always bulldoze them when the contest is over.

Susan, those sofas are great! Thanks!
