My CMC house is located on plot s66.
I'm only really asking for something I could possibly add on that I might have missed, or some things that might need to be changed. Sadly I'm too far into the build to be able to make any full renovations.
I will welcome most, if not all constructive criticism... If I didn't why would I be posting this thread? Haha. ![]()

Hi there, here to critique your abode.
Firstly, the exterior. Good roof. Interesting frame. Bad chimney. The chimney itself should extend higher than the roof itself as, realistically speaking, there is never a chimney that low on any given building. The lighting scheme is also something to work on. Do not spam the torches, but place them only in areas where again they may be considered realistic. Your window placement is poorly judged. Consider areas where natural light is much needed on the interior. Keep windows to preferably one or two shapes and sizes for continuity.
Now the interior. The first thing I noticed was the floor. Too many clashes of color with the carpets. Try a maximum of three colors only for patterns, and use carpets as small detailed centrepieces, not full-on rugs. Near the back window, you made this odd looking shrine of chests, one hovering in the air all by itself. Back to realism, this would not be something you would see conventionally in a house, be it a Ponyville house at that. Take time to consider other furnishing or storage solutions besides the boring old Minecraft chest. Look at /warp ikea and /warp ikea2 for ideas on furniture and decorations. Again, what I assume is the kitchen area has that boring Minecraft survival house feel, where you should really be pushing to experiment with making it more like a real kitchen.
First floor. It seems like a very open-plan space with nothing in it but a small chair and table in one corner, and a door leading to yet another minecraft survival style room for enchantments and potion-making (at least it looks that way). The first floor could have more stuff in it, in general, but also the layout is just another thing to reconsider. You save space by keeping both sets of steps in one corner, the first floor steps under the second floor steps. Consider making the first floor into two rooms.
Second floor. You have a theme running throughout the whole house of the décor being obtrusive and oversized. Attempt to make décor into smaller accents that do not take over your home. Again, the second floor could be made into two separate rooms, for different uses.
Generally, your home is missing a bathroom, which every good house has as far as I know. Try and fit it in somewhere. The frame design on your walls may be slightly overdone, but that is merely my opinion more than general fact. However, most Ponyville houses do only have a few beam designs on the walling between two corners, but I will desist on the matter.
Try to improve on the aforementioned before you submit your home. Even after that, get more critique.
