hi folks, Finally got another one done. This expansion kit contains a new mezzanine level with platform and 5 posable staircases. Lots of MAT files to configure everything, new textures, etc. Plus a full-width terrace and terrace doors (with exterior background prop), a sloping roof with beams and a new set of doors. Available from DAZ. Enjoy mac

Nice work Mac! And now I have another excuse to make some furniture LOL Between you and Stonemason I'll never get any broker pay from Daz ;P

Funny you should mention that, xena.... My next pack will be exclusively furniture. Now that I've got the basic structure built, I can concentrate on the fittings. The competition's fierce, huh? LOL. Mind you, furniture's such a huge field that there's room for everyone. The trick is to make furniture that's so good that people will actually pay for it. Dunno if I can do that, but I'll have a try. cheers mac

Glad to see this. I just got the first two this past week and have enjoyed using it so far:) I would like to see some period style addons so we can have less modern looking windows and doors (if that isn't asking too much). Here is a render, which would be even better with old style windows and doors, but is a huge improvement over my own attempts at building such stuff:) eric

hi eric, Thanks for buying the packs and also for showing me the pic. I like what you've done with it there. I have to say that period fittings are a bit of a problem, at least, in the short term. The main problem is time. It takes me 3 -4 months to finish each expansion and at the moment, I'm trying to keep the style similar throughout all the packs. I'll eventually be able to expand into other periods, but it won't be for a while. The next few packs will probably concentrate on furniture and lamps/lighting. I have a big list of things that people have asked for, (and of course, everybody wants something different). Everything from track lighting to a basement with cellar and workshop. I'm trying to do as much as I can, but each pack contains a fair bit of stuff, so it's slow going. Give me time.... I'll get there someday. LOL. cheers mac

Awesome packs, mac. The rooms you can make are pretty cool. I just finally got #2. Guess I'll have to figure out how/when to get #3.

Thanks for the nice words folks. Richard, what can I say? The new expansion is on sale for the first couple of weeks. Get it while it's hot. It's only money, right? Well.... I always say that when it belongs to other people. LOL. mac

Already got. I hadn't even remembered there was an Expansion 1, so you snared me twice for one post!
