Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[MoonsAreBlue]

@Joria

Thanks! This thread has been very helpful in helping me expand my building horizons. And I just love to drool over all the other marvelous builds here.

[ZapKid]

Just catching up on all you guys have done and am amazed at all I have missed.

First of all let me say that we ALL have different things going on in real life that can cause a tremendous amount of stress and lead to negative feelings and reactions.  No one here should take anything personally because really, it's all just someone's opinion based on their own tastes.  So keep the love flowing to one and all, especially your own selves.  Secondly, you hereby have my carte blanche approval to critique and/or criticize anything I build now, in the past or in the future unless I specifically say otherwise.  If a build of mine sucks then say so.  It's just your opinion after all! lol

Now, where to start.  Moons I love your build and am downloading it.  Great job.

Grim:  I hate vampires but if I loved them I'd definitely send them to your awesome establishment.  It has just enough creep factor to be interesting without being horrifying so I love it.  Way to go with the castle!  I still haven't figured mine out.

Pam:  even though you removed it I went to check it out. Awesome as usual.

Zap:  did you finish the inside?  I haven't looked at the Swap Shop yet but what I saw I loved.

Dane:  WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?  I have so missed your fabulous houses and this latest one will be right up there with all the rest of them I love.

Ok, who have I missed?  I can't see them at the moment but I know they are totally awesome!  Oh yes, and executive lounge that was coming along beautifully, a game place that was terrific, oh, and that bar on the beach!  WOW!  Let me know if I missed anyone and I'll go look.

HUGS AND LOVE TO ONE AND ALL!!

I've finished the interior  
It's on the swap shop right now

@Joria : thanks for the complimant, but technically it's not a bar more of a dance club I would say

[VampirePlasma]

Hey Dane is it on the Swapshopn yet?

[danefaith]

Not yet, I need to touch up the backyard as zapkid remarked, and I think I'll give myself one more go on interior.

[danefaith]

so, i started off zen... then ended up with this.  





Wondering: does the line of pots seem a bit excessive?  The pool area seemed a little barren especially compared to the garden bar.

anyway, I finally cracked the interior!  I made a joined(ish) living room and dining room on the first floor, to the right of the foyer with poolside view through the windows.

[Saltypaws]

I think the pots are fine, maybe some other kind would look off, but those particular ones look really good.  The house is great danefaith and I always look forward to seeing your houses.

[ZapKid]

Seems fine! I offer no suggestions 

[pallyndrome]

welcome back danefaith!

I'm like the build, as usual but I'm not sure about those pots you pointed out. The red/green seems a bit loud. Maybe if they were the more muted tones of the wall lights on the other side of the pool, they'd look better? But it's stunning otherwise.

@Zapkid - A little late, but I really liked your modern.  I will have to check it out on the Swap Shop.

@Gogowars - I really liked your chapel.  Very cute.  I love the back party area and the shade of green you used in the interior.

@kiko - Great beach club!  I actually really like the vibrant colors, even though they aren't generally my thing.  They work well here, though.

@danefaith - It looks great so far.  Love the dining area.  I really like the row of vases and wouldn't change them.  I do think that maybe a more muted shade would work better.  Can't wait to see the rest of the interior.

My Latest house, tell me what you think
Modern style, Red as main color, 2 bedrooms and a nursery + 2 bathrooms, all on a 20x20 lot














I'm afraid to go beyond the limited number of screens, if you think you like a room from the layout I'll post pic, you can already see it all on my blog already

[Audren]

I recently built a house for my Sims from my new Forum Sims Grab Bag. The pictures of it can be found here. Does anybody have any suggestions on improving it?

[danefaith]

Kiko: I like the architecture style and the roofing.  I'm kind of debating whether I like the red trimmed windows or not, but that's about it.

Interesting interior.  Maybe a few too many identical patterns on rugs and window drapes.  A few shade variations would add depth to the room.  but overall, very nice!

[danefaith]

So I think I finished up my current house.






Aside from final touches, this is pretty much done.

[Lynley1248]

kiko--The exterior of your house is adorable.  I love it.  My only two suggestions would be to perhaps remove a rug from the upstairs hall area.  Personally, I would remove the one on the far left corner (in front of the study) and center the other in front of the kid's bedroom.  I also think the master bedroom may be a bit too red.  It is mostly the red of the bed, I think.  Maybe more white?  Otherwise, it looks great.

danefaith--The interior is great.  I love the children's room. It really appeals to me with the soft colors and patterns.  I like the master bedroom, as well, but it does seem like it is missing something.   Perhaps a pattern would help since the colors are a bit muted.  I am actually quite fond of the palette you used, as it is some of my favorite colors/shades.
