I see in the blueprints there is some sort of "rock" near the edges connecting to the ground, that's all I could really think that you could do. Great work!


Thanks! Yes. I will use Marvine's rocks for that part. Then, a little garden belongs to the rest work of its outside.
The inside of the castle is still in a mess. That takes just time to finish.

The decoration around the wall looks very natural...even a bit savage. Beautiful! But these little bushes on the lawn seem to be a bit randomly dropped to me. They'd look better under a tree with some darker (maxis) terrain paint...or just remove them; like that, you'll save the gardener's fees.

like so?

The maxis trees are too big for that castle. I choose only shurbs for the lawn. The fee would not be saved. But the gardeners should feel comfortable to do their jobs. :D

After many changs..... the main tower is pretty higher now. Just a bit higher. You can see the light from there.
By the way, how about the garages there?

Default The next building step--make floorplans: Help me?
Do you have interest to help me to design the inside of Disney Castle? The castle could be build as residential, hotel, appartment or what ever. I'd like to hear your ideas. I'm curious, what will comes


looks a little complicated?

I'm lucky enough to have seen the castle in real life. ;D
And I think that it needs a slightly pinker colouring to the walls. It looks a little bit like a blank canvas, and it needs that vavavoom that only Disney can provide.

Pink? The walls are white on the original castle.

It's coming along very very nicely! What windows do you plan to use?

Well, I think, the maxis blue roofs match white wall better. But pink is good idea. I will perhaps make the princess rooms in pink.
The maxis windows are too big for that towers. I hope to find small one. It should be very very small. When not, I would place no windows there.

I think it should be a hotel. Disney had this thing going on where you could stay in Cinderella's castle a while back, don't know if they still are doing that or not. But I think it would go really well as a hotel. I may even have to dust off my bon voyage and install it again, just to download this lot as a hotel

Hmmm... The hotel idea sounds nice, but there probably isn't enough space to have all those rooms. The disney hotel room thing was, I think, a one time offer. You had to win something. But if you wanted to include it in the castle, the room is beautiful!

slightly pinker like that? And how about that blue one?

Perhaps, I kann make it in 3 lot types. Please choose a wall color for residential, hotel or appartment.

For the outside? The castle's outer walls are a combination of grey bricks and white bricks. The castle itself is pure white.

Any color effects are just the lighting, which changes every few minutes.

Thanks for that links. The photos there are amazing. You are right. Now, I've made the grey-white bricks for that walls. But there are different photos of disney castle and they have differnt looks... I think, white wall with blue roof is a classic combination. I will save it anyways. It's also sweet to make pink or blue castles. It is just like disney colors. Do you think if it is necessary to build three castles?
I've made test for those colors:

I think, man should make powder blue roof recolor for that pink one and an other color (instead of that grey-white bricks wall) for that blue one. Good?

another question about hotel:

I've never built a hotel lot yet. Are there any guide about hotel building? Which one of that build cheat changeLotZoning [residential/community/greek/dorm/secretsociety/apartmentbase/secretwitchlot] should I choose? Where can I find reception, restaurant etc. in maxis catalog?

*I've found the answer already.*

Just an absurd thought!

Instead of making it a bunch of rooms like in a hotel, just make it a vacation home?
Or a one room hotel. Like a million dollar suite?

I would love to have that as my vacation home!

Wow! That's looking better every photo! One thing you might want to consider is putting circular roofing on the tops of the towers lining the outer wall instead of the pointed roofs.
