WIP - 3t2 The Banyan by Copper_Penny

I sometimes browse the TS3 lot section on MTS for inspiration and I fell in love with this Mid-Century home. So I'm shaking off the building rust by making a TS2 version.

And because I like to make things difficult for myself, I'm also experimenting with @catherinetcjd's two-step foundations for the first time (was a little tricky to figure out the ground-level garage - not fully satisfied with it but its a teachable moment for myself).

It's not done yet so these are just some progress pics. The further I get into decorating the more I'm straying from the original, which is good! Tempted to extend the lot so it can have a real backyard, hmmm.

Might upload it to Tumblr when its done (but not MTS) if I can skinny down the CC a bit. Right now it has 3t2 windows, some custom walls, some decor items, and Life Stories walls and floors.

Want to update the old one from last year.

It was a concept of a "what if?" Spamton were to scam the fun gang several times before arriving at his shop.

Style is heavily based on mid-century cartoons like Rocky and Bullwinkle.
