Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

Suggestions?

Looks good to me. Perhaps remove a few windows? And find a stone covering and make that pillar on the left pure grayish stone. The stone covering looks a bit more mid-century (unless that's what your looking for.)

I just didn't feel like recoloring. LOL. Okay let me see. . .

I've lost steam for my other World but wanted to have a go in CAW again just for the afternoon. So I started this new modern themed, well not modern but normal town type world. So far it is not really that done, I'm working as I go along sort of thing.  It has a stupid name. Banks Toe. Yeah I know but I didn't know what else to call it. So I called it Banks after my Dog and Toe after his one black claw on his toe... It will also be like a 'toe' of the mainland hopefully. I actually am quite pleased with how I've done the different terrain levels so far but they are not perfect. I had the world time set at dawn, so the Sun will rise over the beach there. Then it sets on the other side of the place. I'll probably make a sunset watching thing over there. I might make it go hilly over that side though, I don't know. Do you think it's worth continuing this world? I think I still have my Spirit Woods World but I'm a bit worried because it's not where I thought I put it when I updated my CAW.

Suggestions?

It looks great!

Thanks Thomas!  Coming from you means so much, LOL.

And the world, it has a beach, good enough for me! It looks great! Makes me want to make my own world (. . .Cloud 9 ) you know, if CAW wanted to download.
Are you going to finish it?

I hope I will eventually. I've had a very productive day today. My Art teacher fails at giving me homework, I do Graphics and that means photoshop but I am very quick in Photoshop and have done about 30 different edited photos (along with taking about 15) in about 2 or 3 hours. Then I made a World. 

[VampirePlasma]

Oh cool. I do Graphics too. I have PS7 but I only use it for cropping and cutting out pictures. I am experienced in GIMP (my avatar and siggie were made there.)

Glad you are going to finish the world. Is it large?

\\Zapkid. I tried other stones and stuff, but I think I like the way this one looks compared to others.
Any other suggestions before I start on the inside? Oh, is the landscaping okay?

[ZapKid]

@Vampire: Landscaping's great. Maybe add dirt under the tree?

@Samoht: I want that world! I'll help make cool buildings for it, if you wish.

[Chuckles_82]

I love your modern house Lynley! Your decor is perfect! For the planter out the front I would suggest some upside down L shapes going up to the roof. Or something to that effect. It could come up one side, go across the top, and then over to the roof. Or several of those. Or just straight up 'l's.

Haha, I haven't even finished it yet.  I'll remember your offer though and probably will take you up on it if I finish the world. Anushka told me it's best to finish the world before adding lots in because altering terrain can cause glitches. on existing lots.

Vamp, It's a Large World but that's just the CAW Base I'm using. Not sure how much of it will be built/used yet. I'm not good at planning....

[Chuckles_82]

samoht04, I did the same thing when I created Childhood's End. I just needed a break from my modern world. There's so many things I should be prioritising in my game right now: my immortal dynasty; challenges; getting my modern houses uploaded - but at the momet I just felt like moving onto my next world: A tiny sized island with 15x15 lots - base game only. I'm economising where I can to make loading easy for those with low-end systems - there are just enough spawners according to our spawners list - so it might make collecting a little challenging.

Hey I'm new.

I'm not a spectacular builder but I think I like to build some different kinda stuff.


Here is my race track project I started on today. I just labeled it a "hangout" community lot.

[Chuckles_82]

That's totally awesome! I love to see new ideas for community lots!

[samoht04]

Just read a very good tutorial for Create a World, one that's in progress and well I'm going to have to restart both my worlds. Some thing sin there I didn't know about that are quite important or a good idea to have in mind. It's sad but hopefully worth it.

[Agneza]

widowmaker - it's very,very nice... Super idea

My new  the Library for my fantasy world. (lot size 15 x 10) I hope you like it...

[Agneza]

Thomas, can you put a link for this tutorial, please...
