I bought this software last year and it's really fun. I have been changing things as I go as long as adding ideas I want to add to my farm. My boys love planning their 'dream home'. You can do a 'walk through' and it's 3-D and has sound effects and the flowers move in the wind, you can even feed your fish if you have a pond! You can add your own pictures - though they won't be 3-D. A friend wanted to see this, so I video-taped my computer with my camera and downloaded it to photobucket if you want to see. Kind of neat.
This is the 'walk-through'

As you might have seen in my aeral views of the farm - I live in a dome house - it's round, so making the house on this was REALLY hard, but looks kinda close!

Sorry - I moved the first picture - the other ones work though.

Okay - one more thing! My son is not screaming bloody murder in the background - he's wrestling with Dad! Funny - I just listened to it and thought I'd better clear that up.
