Fantastic, I love the shape, the colour, and what you've done with the roofs and fencing, all colour co-ordinated with the lovely pattern design for the exterior.
You make such beautiful buildings and I've got to have this one too :D
thank You!

Please note - I'm not taking any requests at the moment.

You may include my items in your uploads but please credit with a link to either the object or my creator page please.

It is lovely. I love Russian architecture - all those elaborate roofs! Thank you.

I've never been married, but I tell people I'm divorced so they won't think something is wrong with me.

It's great, especially the roof. And it must have been a hard time to do your own recoulors of all the stuff you needed. I like the garden, too...
All in all I think your house is very inspiring for me...

It's stunning! I was thinking Doctor Zhivago when I saw the thumbnail for this on the downloads page, I just love that movie. Keep on building!

I’m going to echo the previous comments by adding that I admire your creative use of combining the various roof shapes. The effect is elegant and reminiscent of Russian architecture, and your recolors only serve to accentuate it further. Great job.

Whatever it is but definitely not Russian! Looks crazy and unnatural.

Thanks again for your comments.

PeachCat,I think I can understand your reaction.Of course if you're russian you dislike this lot.And you're right,its crazy.But maybe you misunderstand an important point.You know,I don't state that its a russian house.Its just a crossing point between "Doctor Zhivago",my old dreams from old Russia (just in my imagination),several books that I did read,many movies..... and the limits of my building skills.With an exception for this last point: Nothing real. Just some refreshing air for some hot summer days..."Gone With the Wind"...

Even the datcha built for the movie "Zhivago" was fake (but this one was wonderful!),since all decors were built in Spain.Thanks anyway for your post ,maybe it will help me to improve.

Mehrlicht,

you've done an amazing job here! The roofing looks just perfect, so well balanced. You've truly managed to capture the right tone here, even if the original Zhivago decors were made in Spain. (Great movie, Classic!)
Whatever you do, please don't sell your building skills short, as I read in one of the comments here. Like I said, like most of us actually said: it looks just amazing.

Love Maltha. See you around at Komosims.

Russian domes shouldn't be so large and heavy. And there are too much of them. Believe me, Russians build normal roofs, too

Such domes usually can be found on churches, not on non-religious buildings.

SweetTemptation ,Thanks for your kind comment.Unfortunately I can't now upload the lot as a zip,since its already in .rar.Are you sure that you can't download in .rar? Its free and very useful. Good luck!

Maltha,I appreciate so much your encouragements....written by a wonderful talented Sims-architect,they are so precious.Thanks so much!And Thanks for all your creations.

Peachcat....Another post from you? To be honest I like this one much better than the first one.Thanks for the links.

Babboo: Thanks so much.
Tsungsha : Family Fun is installed in my game,but I am nearly sure that I didn't use any F.F object in this lot.I think that I just used a table from the Christmas Pack for the formal diningroom. Hope this will not be a problem for you.

Hi Mehrlicht, I'm surprized having missed this great lot from you, jumped here today and what? a russian lot-which-is-not-really-russian-because-the-domes-are too-big or something else. You did a great building, inspired by your creativity and fantasy, who can discuss this? Anyway, hope you're working on a simil-japanese project! Kiss and ciao.
