With input from the Suspects%2C it went through several revisions%3B the final version%2C which appears in-story%2C is the Mark VI.  Now that we%27ve gotten a good look at the inside in text%2C I figured the time was right to share some of the better pictures with the class.%0D%0A%0D%0AFirst%2C a couple of technical details%2Fdisclaimers.  The lot I built the house on is actually a Community Lot in vanilla %5Bi%5DSims 3%5B%2Fi%5D%3B it%27s the Stoney Falls fishing spot on the default Sunset Valley town map.  As such%2C the scales are all a bit off%E2%80%94for instance%2C the lake is tiny in-game%2C because it%27s crammed right up against the edge of the map%2C and it%27s obviously much%2C much closer to town than the Bellehaven site in-story.  For that matter%2C the house itself comes out smaller in-game than it would really be%2C which is also a common problem with %5Bi%5DSims%5B%2Fi%5D houses.  As such%2C not everything you see in the following images is exactly representative of the %22actual%22 %28as it were%29 house%3B but I think it gives a good enough impression of what it%27s like to be worth sharing%2C as a look into the creative process if nothing else.%0D%0A%0D%0ANote that most of the closeup shots were taken with the %22walls partially down%22 or %22walls completely down%22 option activated%2C so that the interiors can be seen more clearly.  It should be pretty obvious which ones are.%0D%0A%0D%0AYou can click any of the pictures below for a full-size 1080-HD view.%0D%0A%0D%0AWe%27ll start the tour in the same place the girls did%2C with an aerial and an overview shot.%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Blink%3Awww.eyrie-productions.com%2FUF%2FFI%2FOOTR%2FGFX%2FBellehaven%2Ffullsize%2Fbellehaven%2520aerial%25201080.jpg%3Fx%7Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.eyrie-productions.com%2FUF%2FFI%2FOOTR%2FGFX%2FBellehaven%2Fbellehaven%2520aerial.jpg%5D%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Blink%3Awww.eyrie-productions.com%2FUF%2FFI%2FOOTR%2FGFX%2FBellehaven%2Ffullsize%2Fbellehaven%25201080.jpg%3Fx%7Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.eyrie-productions.com%2FUF%2FFI%2FOOTR%2FGFX%2FBellehaven%2Fbellehaven.jpg%5D%0D%0A%0D%0AOrientation%3A In these shots%2C the camera is facing roughly east%3B the central peak of the Three Brothers is directly opposite the house%2C mostly out of shot%2C with the waterfall at its base.  The meadow is mostly %22behind%22 the camera%2C with Republic City to be seen off in the distance to the west.  The main body of the house is thus its east wing%2C running north-south%2C with the single-story part the west wing%2C and the tower in the northwest corner.%0D%0A%0D%0A%28That shoreside rock on the far right%2C past the decorative cove next to the house%2C is a stand-in for the group of rocks Utena and Anthy sat on for a while in their first visit to the site%2C and Utena later remarked that she was glad Ryo hadn%27t removed.%29%0D%0A%0D%0AThe door on the west wing %28roughly in the center of the overview shot%29 is the main entrance%2C where HTT first arrive.  Here%27s a shot of the west wing ground floor%2C looking north %28main body of the house out of shot to the right%29%2C with a good view of the entryway in the center%2C the kitchen to the right%2C and the coatroom to the left.  The kitchen%27s attached pantry looks a bit weird with the interior walls down%2C but the cabinets give a good idea of its extent.  %28In-story%2C Yamato%27s Ramune dispenser is in there as well.%29%0D%0A%0D%0A%5Blink%3Awww.eyrie-productions.com%2FUF%2FFI%2FOOTR%2FGFX%2FBellehaven%2Ffullsize%2Ftower%2520lvl%25201%2520entrance%2520%2B%2520kitchen-pantry%25201080.jpg%3Fx%7Chttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.eyrie-productions.com%2FUF%2FFI%2FOOTR%2FGFX%2FBellehaven%2Ftower%2520wing%2520lvl%25201%2520entrance%2520%2B%2520kitchen-pantry.jpg%5D%0D%0A%0D%0APassing through the east arch out of the kitchen%2C we find ourselves in the dining room%2C also known as the north end of the main wing%27s ground floor.
