So, basically, this is just because I really really didn’t want to do the Straight update right now, but I wanted to put something up, so: Ta-da! Tour of Ardania, next I’ll do the University, and then my new sister neighborhood Calinloch, where a few of the families are already living.
First, there’s Ardania as a whole. I went a bit tree crazy, as you can see 🙂
Here’s the tiny business section, with the school, a park, the medical center, restaurant, and an apartment lot I’m building.
This is the cheaper side of town, which is across the river from the well-off end of town.
And this is the main part of town, which along with houses, has a few stores, the City Hall, and the library.
**********
People who live in Ardania/ their houses:
First: The Marslin home. I know, it’s Maxis. It’s been really buggy though, so they might get moved anyway.
Family picture!
Visenz (sorry, it snowed, it’s Winter after all)
Family picture!
Fief (It’s lame because I built it myself)
Family picture!
Ferena (Not that bad since I built it myself 😛 )
Family picture!
Marshall (I downloaded this from TSR, it’s called The Executive Home or something or other, and it’s free 😀 )
Family picture! Cute!!!!
Straight home, no picture because I’m still working on all of their kids’ clothes. I swear, they’re going to kill me. Five toddlers! Five!
The Gates home,
Family picture!!!!!
And finally, the Regin home. They’re not actually playable’s, but Matt and Maven are so darn adorable!
See! Can you believe they’re related to Miriam Regin? I love Matt 🙂
So, there you go, my attempt at making it up to you 🙂 Hopefully Straight tomorrow!

It’s nice to see some wide shots of Ardania. So often in blogs, all you really see is a very small section (because for regular updates, that’s all that’s relevant).
I love the Ferenas’ family picture. It’s all those lovely flowers in the bottom of the shot, I think.

Oh, thanks! Haha, yes, I went a little flower crazy. Those are some flowery-bushy CC things that I got with some house or something that I downloaded, and they have about 10 different colors, and I absolutely LOVE them! The Ferena’s house is completely surrounded by them, actually, and so are all of their fences I think 🙂

Ardania looks great! W-O-W on the Straight home, 5 toddlers! that’s insane!! That’s like how many toddlers I have in my whole hood or something!
I love all the trees, a big weakness of my own, and I like that you have the well-off area separated from the economy side, nice touch. Especially separated by the river, seems to be the case in most towns that have rivers.

Haha, yes. I’m seriously considering taking out the triplet hack thanks to that.
Thanks, I thought it would make a little more sense that way 🙂

It’s great to finally see the town which homes all you great families! I can’t believe so many of the kdis have many babies. 😀
