Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

Hi, I made this house today - Fantasy beach house, but I' m block , I feel something is wrong but I don't know what.  I'm not satisfation, little help...?

mayhap some more landscaping on left hand side

[Agneza]

My old  " Disco aqarius" Before I put in Swap Shop I would like your opinion-

[Dellena]

I like it!  Looks fun!

As for the fantasy beach house.  Is there a purpose for the one roof to stick up?  I think it might be fun to do a face on the other roof as well but like an opposite one or different colours.

I think both your buildings are fine, agneza. I especially like the mermaid area in the bar.

norenegonc - I meant that the incline is too curved - I thought it should be a flat decline, like in the link Dellena showed. I don't know what you mean about foundation.

[Agneza]

Dellena , good idea I'll tray tomorow. House inside is ok, maybe this  right roof is too much...

[Chuckles_82]

@Agneza, I like what you did with the inside of your fantasy beach house. Way to make use of minimal space!

This is my latest 15x15 mini addition





A few tricks I've used here are to delete two levels of wall in the garage so that the garage door looks right. There then is a small gap above it, inbetween the door and windows, so I've put a mini verandah and then two door arches underneath to hide the gap. Inside I have used the same arches with doors aswell to have doors that are the full height of the wall (and one on the side of the garage to get in). The planter box out the back, and the wall underneath the verandah is actually a fence so that I could take the verandayh right to the edge of the lot (there's only one small spot I can't get it to sit right).

What a cool little house.  I love the front!

[norenegonc]

Hey guys, so I finally finished the gryffin house, everything besides the inside, which I thought I would leave undone. Looking back I want to say I am sorry for cluttering the forums with all my crazy images, but I do want to thank you for all your suggestions. I fixed the driveway and left the fence in lol. But before I go to the images

@Agneza, I like the colors of the beach house but maybe the roof could do a gentle wave curve instead of the square. I think this would fit in nicely with your beach theme and relax the overall structure a bit. I finished my advanced wall curving tutorial just need to fit the images in so that should be on the forums soon in case you are not certain what I mean.

So here are my last set of questions before I finish, what do you guys think about the overall landscaping. I was thinking of maybe filling in the front grass area with something else, maybe a stone or darker grass, or maybe I should just leave it, what do you guys think. Also, I am still not liking the window arrangement, but I don't know what to do, maybe different windows or move them somewhere else, any thoughts. As always thanks!

[pallyndrome]

I think all together it looks very nice!

[loveSims]

@Agnesa all your houses are fantastic and amazing!

[Agneza]

Norenegonc- you're apsolutely right about roof, but I don't know how to do it. I'm waiting for your tutorial Your griffin looks great. My suggestion - give your house as  a shell and another will put windows etc

Chuckles82-good trick! I like your house, only with  big modern windows and doors maybe it will be better to change roofs. What you think?

[Agneza]

Thanks lovesims, I'm not happy with fantasy beach house, I think it is so modern and roofs are in different style that don't go together. I think I'll demolish roofs...

[kiko94]

Lovely Beach house Agneza ! I think there is too much blue in there, my suggestion would be to keep the first exterior design and to recolor the windows to blue to make more balanced, different windows might be better as well

chuckles: that house is impressive ! loved the ammarmath and love this one ! the k2 ivy seems a bit off the rest of the landscape, maybe putting a regular tall bush there would make it better?

[Lynley1248]

Agneza-Your houses are so lovely.  On your beach house, I love the interior. It looks fantastic.  I liked the original exterior better, however, and, as kiko suggested, perhaps add in the blue with accents on the trim, windows etc.  The only other thing is that the tall peak on the roof doesn't quite fit.  Just a flat roof would work here or maybe use a frieze or the platform to add height.   


Chuckles-Looks great! I love the use of the planters and the overall look of the front. 

[Agneza]

Kiko, Dellena, Lynley - thaaaanks  for advice, its so nice of you 

 My new project the Fantasy Dance club (not finish).
