I have seen it.
I am looking forward to your ideas
I would like to start by saying how impressed I was with this lot. Even more impressive is the fact that you made it from scratch, without cheating. In many ways I prefer that it grew organically and that you had no set plan. I always enjoy exploring intricate lots like this.
Before I could explore, I had to place it, this took almost 10 minutes. lol At least it was worth the wait. I liked how you incorporated the atriums inside the house. Also, using water walls, which is always a nice effect. The olympic pool is brilliant. The maze. I could go on and on.
There doesn't leave much left as far as suggestions are concerned. You pretty much covered everything. Saying that, I do have one or two. Mostly, mine involve using CC I have.
First of all, I thought a private train station placed in the basement somewhere could be a decent idea. In other words, your sims are THAT rich, they even have their own train route. lol There is a really nice modern train station set that I have. You can find the link to the download here; *Link Removed due to CC* He's also created a train station lot that uses the items. I found it useful when I first downloaded the set.
Another idea I have used is to have some rooms set up as a scene from nature. The best way I can describe it is; the Museum of Natural History in New York has a section with different wildlife scenes using stuffed animals, fake plants etc. The display room would be completely sealed and would have only a huge display window on one wall. You could devote a section housing different displays. The basement would be perfect. Especially if the area where the sims walk is kept dim and the displays bright. There are some really nice creations that I use for this, they can be found here in the animal section; *Link Removed due to CC* She has a decent selection of many different animals. I like the sea animals because you can incorporate them into a pool.
One part I altered was the corner that houses the big airplane statue. In its place I put 3 big T-Rex skeletons I have. I also have one or two other fossils, so I made that a bit of a fossil section. The T-Rex I downloaded from; *Link Removed due to CC* He also has dinosaurs too, so you can use those too for my previous suggestion. My other fossils were converted from TSM and can be found here; *Link Removed due to CC*
You mentioned in a previous post;
The main problem is the cubelook that dont fit in at all with the surroundings. Another thing is making the windows fit the rooms inside, without making the outside wall look unsymmetric.
Yes, I agree. It is a bit of a problem making a cubelook look less cubelike. I would imagine it was similar designing the Antilia. Now that I have explored your lot, it struck me even more how similar it looks to your design. I think the best way I have found to overcome the cubelook problem is to use different patterns and colours highlighting the different sections on the outside. Personally, I hate using solid bright colours like white in my game because the glare is too much. Columns can also help break up the sections.
Finally, I don't know if you use the fog emitters in the 'buydebug' section. I love them. There are ALOT of really good effects you can make with them. My favourite is using them to create a live shark tank in a swimming pool. I use one I downloaded from;
http://www.modthesims.info/d/448593 This one is a simple override and is handy because you can place the emitter at any height, like a painting. You can find fog emitter effects lists easily enough using google.
Well that's about all I have to say. Thanks for sharing this lot, exploring it was alot of fun. I hope you like my suggestions and links.
