:O I DO LOVE IT. LOVE IT. I'm embarrassed to say I'd already noticed a lot of the prop reuse (and some things that they've reused in other sets, houses and such), because I spend quite a lot of time on those motel rooms. But so many great hotels since the post, too! My all-time favorite has got to be the one in DaLDoM, with the bird theme and the escher divider. Perfectly, perfectly trippy -- just right.

Oh yes, the Dream set was fabulous and I loved how they used it in Dean's nightmare.

One of my favourites is the sleazy sex motel in Houses of the Holy. The one with the bunny girl picture and vibrating bed :D.

On topic (a bit): I am about to get a new laptop so I'll *finally* be able to upgrade to The Sims 2. I am so excited about building new houses! Have I ever told you how I surf random real estate sites and print off their floor plans to replicate in my Sims games??

Oh my God, Dahlia, you will love building houses (and characters too!) in Sims 2. There are so many superfab downloads (although there are some Sims things I miss very much), and the tools are more flexible.

I do that, too, with the house plans! And I've made replicas of houses I know as well.

Come to think of it. I'm not completely sure I've ever played a full game; I just get so happy creating stuff that I pretty much don't ever stop.

The game has arrived but not the computer :/ (I'm waiting for it to come back in stock at John Lewis, because they give you an extra year's guarantee.) I've been reading the game manual on the tube to work and it sounds amazing. I am especially excited about the extra floor and the dormer roof thing and the basement options.

So do you have it yet? Is it everything you'd hoped it would be? :D
