Pretty! Umm, but the title says that it is Dover, Delaware. I can't wait to see the rest!

Thanks, Ive changed it. Things tend to get out of order when creating, using a batch method.

I was on here a couple of minutes ago, and I downloaded about three houses of your TAA series; and all of a sudden I found MORE! It's like an Easter gift or something! Thank you so much, it's gorgeous!

Well, it is beautiful work. However, it just doesn't look much like the Norfolk, Va. that I live in. Perhaps the first title was the correct one after all?

This is more typical of what you'll find in the older sections around here:

If this works right, it should give you a virtual tour of the home that F. Scott Fitzgerald's aunt lived in for a while:

Oh but of course that in deed would be correct for the older sections of Norfolk, however that may pose as a common misconception for the overall resounding areas of the city representing the state as a whole.

There is just not enough time to display all types of homes found in each of the 50 states. (That would be ~roughly 1,700+ homes to build. ) One specific style will be selected and simulated from each state.

This home was modeled in reflective respects to that of this home(s) found in Norfolk, Virginia:

I am indeed aware that some homes of certain States are not the architecture of the majority, no single home represents the overall architectural style of the state for that matter, most states are hosts to all different types of abodes and homesteads, and Virginia is no exception.

Beach Property has yet to have been built along the tour, they told me not not build a beach home for SC, NC, nor Florida. Please make that request in advance if a specific type of home for your state should not be built.

Along the tour many styles of homes were exhibited. Ocean View Avenue of Norfolk was an area exhibited for beach front architecture.

Requests for certain parts of the state (not yet created) to be toured are welcomed.

This is true, it does look like some of the newer stuff that has invaded "OV" in the past 10-15 years. You workmanship and materials are probably of a higher order, too. The design is definitely beautiful work. I was thinking that it was something I'd expect to see on a beach lot in Sandbridge or south, towards Corolla, NC. There's plenty of variety depending on where you are and how old the neighborhood is.
I tend to build my own, so I really have no building request, but I have enjoyed checking out your 'tour' houses and I've been very impressed with the work you've done. Perhaps a 'Federalist'-style predominant in the older sections here would work well with another eastern state and city as well, or even Colonial Williamsburg, maybe? If you do more cities I can't wait to see what you have in store for D.C., a Georgetown Rowhouse, maybe? Keep up the good work!
Have fun and keep creating!! Cheers!

Thank you, I have some parent sims who are a little bit over protective of their daughter so this will give them some peice of mind, that she cant sneak out because she cant get out! I love all of your houses and when my little sims move out I will make sure they move into one of yours!!! Thank you again.
