The whole lot looks great, it's obvious how much time, thought and attention to detail it must've taken. It's a shame you used the same windows on all houses though, it's really missing some variety.

I really love these! I'm not usually a fan of stairs in kitchens but they seem to work with these. I love the drink bars and decoration used. You've also got a lot of different quirks for each different apartment.

Amazing work! I like the canal with a barge and that every house has its own character.

I noticed some situations where TV and seating are facing different directions, it's probably a good idea to add a pointer to MogHughson's mod: http://www.modthesims.info/d/462269

PS: I think Omnomnomnivore has a point, a little variety in windows could make this great lot even better.

If you don't mind my suggestion, Maxis' colonial window would be a great mix with the ones you already used, also these two by Leesester:

Thank you Psychosim

Thank you for the link to MogHughson's mod, I usually add that link in but must've forgotten to this time.

Psychosim and Omnomnomnivore: With regards to the windows, I looked at various options when I was building the houses but none of the other windows looked quite right and if you look at my inspiration picture the windows are almost all the same along the length of the terrace. The apartments were posted in several feedback forums as well (last year when I started creating them) and the windows were not commented on then. You, of course, are most welcome to swap them out for others in your game.

Thank you to everyone for all your lovely comments, they are much appreciated

Didn't take it as a moan, but wanted to explain how I came to decide on which windows to use

Want a specific style of house or community building? Why not take a look at my profile and see what I build and then come ask me to make it!

For some strange reason my canal lock was flashing blue, so I had to get rid of it. Other than that, you did a really amazing job with this lot!

Thank you, thesammy, am pleased that you like it so much that you entered the calendar contest with it

Have no idea why the lock would be flashing blue but they are available here if you wanted to redownload and reinstall them http://sims2.aroundthesims3.com/bui.../001/index.html
