Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[Odinsdottir]

Thank you Louise and Ladybug! I'm working hard to improve my kitchens and bathrooms.  There is a landscaping thread around here somewhere I learned a lot from.

Saltpastillen, I like the houses to look like perhaps one section was added on later, or remodeled a bit.  Just sort of imperfect.  A bit wobbly!

Next is an English country pub called The Bricklayer's Arms.  Looking at the screenshots, the landscaping could use work, it looks a bit clumpy and could use some work on the terrain paint, including making a set of paths in the front, but generally I'm pleased.  Comments welcome!

The front:


The back:



There's plenty of room on the second floor for the landlord/bartender to have a flat, here's the ground floor layout:



The bar:

Next, a charming wedding chapel with rose garden!

Wow, you're on fire Odinsdottir! I get a creative burn-out by this point, but you're doing so well! The only thing I can see that might help that last one a bit is if you raise the big rooves at the top a bit so they are above the dormers, but otherwise it's lovely! It reminds me of  YHA I stayed in when I was younger.

I agree with Chuckles_82. It would have a nicer look if the big roof was raised a bit above the dormers. Very nice work! It looks like a very relaxing place for sims to meet and socialize . Love the atmosphere. 

[Odinsdottir]

Chuckles and Ladybug, I agree about the roof.  I also want to fiddle with the landscaping and terrain paint.  My husband also insists that the exterior needs to be green.  So I shall revisit this one.

Here are a few pictures of a quick remodel that I did of the Single Mom's House using some of the goodies from Seasons. I love the new furniture and bathroom shower/tub combo. What do YOU think?

[saltpastillen]

Looks great! I love we're getting another combined shower/tub since I usually use them in my houses (at least the ones I build for playing).

Thank you. I always move the kitchen when I play this house, usually to where the small bedroom is. It's just too awkward where it was.

That's really nice! I love the sky-blue bedroom and the glass end tables!

[Odinsdottir]

Jude, that's a lovely house. I like the sleighbed both the beds and the rugs especially.   You must have been quick!

Updated Bellringer's Arms







On to the wedding chapel!

@ judewright. I love your remodel . It's very stylish. The new Seasons furniture suits the style of the home. Great work ! 

[ladybug53]

@ Odinsdottir. I love the new recolor and roof even more than the last one. Wow, I think it's pretty awesome ! He was right about the green it looks amazing. 

[JudesSims]

Thank you, Andy, Odinsdottir, and Ladybug! I'm happy you like it. I just couldn't resist the new goodies

[Odinsdottir]

Argh! The Wedding Chapel is not working out!  I've got some awesome colourways worked out, but I've torn down and rebuilt 6 times!  I definitely think I ought to but it to one side for a few weeks.  The idea is a village hall where the Sims could have a wedding or a formal party but it's just not coming together.  I think I could do it if I had the interior items from the Romanza set from the store, but I'm saving my pennies for Seasons. 

But, I simply must do a house with the colours!  It's a dusty rose and cream interior, and a green and purple mock Tudor exterior!  How cool is that?  I think I'll do a quick little starter with the colourways so I can say I accomplished something today!

[saltpastillen]

The color story sounds intriguing Odinsdottir. Taking a break is a great idea when the build is driving you mad.
