Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[Dellena]

Thanks!  Some CC I could live without, but on a project like this, the big ones for me are decor items like curtains, nic nacs, plants/flowers, and paintings.  On a large build, there's just not enough pictures/paintings of the right style to work.  And I'm having a glitch where I can't get my sims to paint their own stuff like portraits, etc.  I really miss from Sims 2 being able to get the Sim to paint something screenshotted from outside the game.  That was brilliant (sigh).

that would be a great feature, did you try photography ? it is a powerful skill when coming to decorate, you can make some neat abstract paintings or take landscaping shots, they are not worth a lot, but they still pretty up the house, but as for plants you are right, there aren't enough choices even with all the store and EP / SP items.

[Dellena]

Little decor items for tables and shelves are a bit lacking as well.  I've done a bit of photography but there's no way to take a picture in game and it look like a Monet.   And with the bedrooms, I first looked for the artwork to make the rooms around.  The master bedroom colours were picked based solely on the two pictures hanging behind the bed.

Help ! How I fix this hole, I demolished  floor up made it again, but hol  is still  here, some advice please 

 

[Agneza]

Dellena,I agree - curtains  are terrible, and flowers...

Have you tried placing a flooring on the floor above, I think you might have to do that to place a ceiling.

That was going to be my suggestion as well.

Always makes me wonder what the ratio of male to female is on the design staff at EA.

Thomas this no help smrc 

[Dellena]

Can you go to the floor above that one, do a screenshot looking straight down and post that?

[kiko94]

It happened to me to Agneza, It ruined all of my screenshots, I couldn't find a solution, I noticed the other day that a few floors tiles were scattered around the lot (they white very very thin white lines) that looked like a bug,  if you ever find thees use level terrain tool on them, don't know what else to suggest, I have tried a lot of things as well and it didn't help me either

[Agneza]

I fixed that holl with flat roof!!!, ufff... thanks for helping me

Oh Agneza it's stunning! I (nearly) always love your work - you're a really wonderful designer. How much is that house worth?

Also, I just want to suggest to everyone who builds and uploads to the swap shop - please play test your houses before uploading (if you don't already). I just had problems recently with a house I downloaded, and it'd be nice if everyone could make sure their houses work before uploading.

I hope not my houses, because I test few time every house. Sorry, sorry  I removed photo, wrong  shot... Im very glad you like my work  . House price is  about 90 000. Did you see attic from this house ?

[pallyndrome]

No no it's not your house I had problems with Agneza, so don't worry. I have already contacted the builder in whose house I found glitches.

Why was that the wrong photo shot? It looked fine to me. I don't remember if I saw an attic - I would check but the photo's no longer there lol.
