Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

I'm sorry about the missing picture links. I cleaned up my imgur account, deleted and moved things around. I'll see if I can't hunt them down once I can get back on the computer with a mouse.

Links are fixed, and the house is finished and ready to be play-tested. A few parting shots:


The facade and front lawn


Back yard! Now with twice the garden action


A peek of the kitchen.


Datails for the master suite.

I don't think I have any CC besides the patterns - I've checked once, but if I learned my lesson at having previous items removed, it's to look again and again. Also up is play-testing.

Also, it needs a name.

You can see more images in the album here.

Chuckles, I really like that floor - it made a huge difference.

[ladybug53]

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments and helpful tips. Unfortunately I still wasn't quite happy with it. I decided to remodel the whole thing. I think my problem was that I was trying to blend too many styles together. This time, I googled some images of Aussie pubs, plus a specific pub/restaurant. I've come up with something I like much better (naiiiled it!):







I've tied in the stone from the Vault of Antiquity and Library, so I've got balance with the other parts of town. Kind of like a painting, I think, If I have a colour in one part of my painting, I need to pick up bits of it in another part of the painting. Now fingers crossed that the bikes stay where they are and don't disappear, because they are hanging off the lot just a little.

I love that stone on the bar, and the barroom has a very relaxed feel to it. I like the sticking out roofs over the bikes, the entrance and the seating area (the make the facade look interesting but serve a purpose at the same time.

I built a house recently and I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on the exterior (does the landscaping look okay, etc.). I also cannot decide on the color scheme. Any advice is appreiciated!

Blue Version:


Purple Version:

 

[Chuckles_82]

Gosh, I love both of those! Do two copies!

[fortheloveofcake]

They are both very nice and the landscaping looks awesome, though I'm partial to the purple version

I love those houses! It's a very difficult decision as to which colour scheme is best, but I like purple slightly better. 

[pallyndrome]

They both look lovely! I feel like I like the blue better, but that might have something to do with the different lighting - I think the blue photo is later in the day, when there's more shadow?

The landscaping is fine, it's just more of a wild look. If that's what you're going for, then great.

@Gulliver the cat! - Very great houses, Gulliver. I rather like the purple one because I think it fits better into the garden.

[ladybug53]

I think they both look amazing . If I could only choose one it would be the purple one . Maybe think about what your plans are for the interior also and decide which exterior would look best with it . 

[Louise56]

Both versions look fantastic, but the purple one is my favorite.

[Gulliver the cat!]

Thanks for all of your replies! Sadly my game crashed last night before I had a chance to save the purple one, so I am going to have to recolor the house  . Now I am starting to work on the interior and will probably ask some more questions soon...

Gulliver- so cute houses I love both
