New modern home: Asplunden


I've finally finished my second modern house. The name means "the Aspen grove" in Swedish.* The house is build on a 40x30 lot, in this case the lot next to Agnes Crumplebuttom on Redwood Parkway in Sunset Valley.

* I was going to name the house "Björklunden" (the Birch grove), since I've placed, what I think look like birch trees in the garden. Birches are common in Sweden, but for some strange reason the Sims 3 game (Swedish version) calls them "Asp trees". Lucklily ""Asp" may make more sense in an internations context, since it's easier to spell than "björk". And we have a lot of aspen trees here aswell. Moreover, there was a Swedish architect named Gunnar Asplund, actually a proponent of the modernist style in the 30's. About Gunnar Asplund at Wikipedia.

The japanese leafy garden

I'm sorry for taking so long with updating. Hopefully I'll get more inspiration, and time, soon. Anyway, here is a garden I've been working on for some time. I was inspired by those Japanse gardens with a lush vegetation. A place for adults to hang out to relax in the shadows. I thought Bridgeport was in a desperate need for that!

The garden contains no CC, but some stuff from World Adventures EP.
