Thank you!! I decided to go with windows from Ambitions and doors from Seasons.

I am still in-testing with my house. It seems stable enough, however I haven't done much with it since taking out some of the CC doors and windows I was using. I added most of the furniture and edited wall colors/coverings while still having the cc windows and it seemed okay. I still removed them because I felt it was the right thing to do.  I really like the way the windows from Ambitions add character to the house. lol

For now I left the CC counter windows in the attic space. To the main floor I added windows from Ambitions and Doors from Seasons. Left the vase of flowers on the counter of the island, because there's just something about them.  :)

Here are some photos of the house:

Very nice! I have a couple go-to flower arrangements I almost always include in my houses - the big sunflower bouquet I use for entryways and sideboards in dining rooms and a one with white flowers from Generations (I think) for a table centerpiece.

I logged in and immediately saw the photo of the vase with flowers on the table and thought of Generations. I keep forgetting to use those. *Blush*

The big Sunflower bouquet looks familiar as well. I'm blanking as to where it comes from, maybe base game? -- Derp how about World Adventures. hehehehe

I did a little landscaping the other day. Here's some screenshots:

Looking at it from the front we have - Front / Left side / Back / Right side.


Inside - Attic Space, Main Level and Basement


A name hasn't come to me for this house, so I'm still trying to think of a name.

I was able to play-test my house, Poppy. 



You can read more about it and download it here.

Switching over to the new EA launcher has really messed with my game these last few months, but I have been finally able to make some progress on this challenge!







The house is very much in the "needs a lot of work" phase, but I'm just happy I can finally play the game again with less problems!

Thank you guys so much! Here is another update:



The interior of the house is slowly coming along. I 100% blame Mrs. Flynn for the amount of CC in this build because she recently recommended so many lovely CC pieces to me that I just HAD to install!



The exterior of the house is almost finished. Ignore the fences by the pathway. I use them as guides when applying terrain paint.
