Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[Seabody]

Wow Anushka! That looks... it looks... I'm lost for words. I guess... It looks fantastic! I love it at night.
I've never seen a better fountain!

Shenice, that is great! Personally, my favourite part is the infinity pool!

[pallyndrome]

Anushka - the stairs look much better now, and the night view is stunning.

Shenice - I particularly love the hallway with the squares outside the doors -the effect is lovely.

[danefaith]

Night lighting is such a labor of love.  Tedious, yet with such powerful effect. 

So I took a breather on building, but finally got back and finished my last work!

Need to make a pretty covershot and its good... but decisions decisions!

[Shenice93]

Wow Danefaith! It looks spectacular! I think you should do a night shot for the cover shot. It will look beautiful, I'm sure.

[danefaith]

W'uh oh, Ausette challenged me to tackle something I've never tackled before...

thrifty!  




My shell and pre-CAS interior, just to get a grip on the budget.  Successfully in starter home range, at 15,999!

Note: car added for effect... most certainly NOT included in the overall price.

Well I said I was going to post this and this is the first lot I am showing here. I love what all of you have done so far.

So here is Bridgeport Nectary:



Food and Nectar registers (look me a while but I got the nectar one to work right):



Nectary Bar and stares to the basement:



Public Bathrooms:



The Basement:





I am happy how it turned out over all. Was a great thing to have when I was playing a firefighter. Has been a good place to run over to grab a meal then take the subway to help go to work.

[Shenice93]

That's a nice nectary Redlaw. Did you upload it to the swap shop or exchange? I would love to download it if you did.

[Redlaw]

I have it put up my the exchange. (My Sims account name is the as my one here to help you find it.) I have two versions up the complete one is this one. I even state where it should be placed.

[Ausette]

Nice nectary, Redlaw! Does it function properly though? I put a nectar register in my brewery and I couldn't get it to sell nectar. Still, I like the look of the layout and the exterior's rather nice. 

danefaith: I knew you could do it  ! That definitely doesn't look like a starter home. You've squeezed in a lot of furniture that I usually go without at the start of the game, like the dresser and living room. A decent bed is always the first thing I buy, so it's good to see you've already included one. I can't wait to see the patterns in the finished project (perhaps a wooden floor?). Hey, and it'd look great in Anushka's world!

[Jonna]

danefaith --

I might have to snag that house when you finish it!  I do love me some one-story, basement-free homes... 

[Redlaw]

Yes it sells nector normally Ausette it took me a week to find out how. Ill send you a PM on how to get it to work.

Right now I am almost done with my next building. Outsides are looking ok but the inside is very nice. I hope to be posting some pics of my vampire club soon.

[danefaith]

And wham!  I moved in my play tester and just like that, value depreciation!  Yay!  It gave me the chance to upgrade the chairs and fridge, although I did end up sacrificing the MP3 player.  Ultimately pretty confident about it.   This one's pretty much done!

[Lynley1248]

danefaith - I love your starter. The decor is lovely, as is the architecture.  It doesn't look like a cheap starter home at all with the clean lines and upgraded furnishings.  Very nice.

[Lynley1248]

This is my latest WIP.  It is roughly based on a house I saw a few weeks ago.  It is pretty much done aside from some final tweaking and details.  Any suggestions?






The backyard--It doesn't have much landscaping but many of the houses where I live don't, so I was going with that.  It may need a few more bushes/flowers, though.  I'm not sure yet.

[Ausette]

Lynley, that's gorgeous! I just adore the front of the house, and I'd definitely download it if you put it on the Swap Shop. Could you perhaps post some closer shots of the interior?

dane, I really like the colours you've used, especially the green. The wardrobe and dresser look a little bare though, do you have enough money left to place a cheap little pot plant? Other than that I'd say you're done. It's so bright and fresh-looking.
