YAY! I'll have to go look at yours...
...it's not on MTS? I wanna see it - do you have a link?
Where I grew up (about an hour N of Tampa, FL) we had a "Little Red School House" - it looked just like this one - and it was used as the town library. (Small town!)
I'm also trying to do a Crofters Hut type thing for St Patty's day... but my game keeps crashing. I think it is the last thing I added to my DL folder, which would be OhBehave's scenic backdrops
They're probably fine, but conflicting with something else in there *sigh* I really wanted to use it them too

Hmm, I seem to have a tonne of pics of the inside of the schoolhouse, but almost none of the outside! Just this rather crappy one of one corner of the building:
(I took that because I was marvelling at how much my hood's population has grown)
I do have a few other nice pics from the school, but they really don't tell you anything about the school building
.
And this one, which I absolutely love - the poses were completely spontaneous, it was amazing. I like to think that Victoria, the girl in the polkadot dress, is the kind of sim who'd probably frame this. In fact, maybe I should have her do just that...
The school wasn't based on any RL building for me - I did actually grow up just around the corner from my primary school's original, tiny building, but it had been a chapel before it was a school (and later a graphic design agency), so the style didn't really fit with this 'hood. I started out basing my hood's school loosely on Anne of Green Gables - but it's a bigger and more modern than that school!

OH! I love the 'class' picture What a sweet idea!
Yours is an actual working school building; mine's just a one room school house - more for 'hood deco (with a playground) than anything else...

Ever heard of Spring Hill? Or, as I called it Sprung Hill... Right across Hwy 19 from Weekie Wachee
Where were you?

Go for it, TotallySimsCrazy. The more entries, the merrier :D
I may or may not eventually get round to an entry.
marmbite, I think Fivey might be using a custom sky object, like these: http://modthesims.info/d/187229

Yes! I grew up the next county over: Citrus County. Inverness was the town name. Though usually when people ask I say close to Ocala since that's the nearest "big town" that we'd usually make a special trip to since they had an actual mall for school/Christmas shopping and the like. Hello fellow central Floridian!
And yes, please. Keep the entries coming. Nysha is right, the more the merrier!

Yes, you can do another as long as it's a different month. You have all month so hopefully you can find the time!

Extra pictures
This first one would have been for February:
The second one would have been November:
And this third picture would have been December:
I wish I could have entered three, it was so hard to decide between the two I entered and my February picture. But I suppose if you could enter three then there would be less people able to enter and people with more expansion packs (and other benefits) would have a bigger advantage. Oh well, I just hope I picked the right two...

I think you may be right. I didn't know you could do that but it's quite a good idea.

It's a lamp, actually.
