Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

Awesome Pam! If you want there to be no content from Stuff and Expansion Packs, then the fence in front of the door is from Outdoor Living.
Also, a plant on the table in the living room might be nice.

I'm guessing here this is the house of your DecaDynasty founder(s). Awesome anyway. Well done.

Nicely build Pam, looking forward to see the final outcome

Yeah, I had put the fence up before it occurred to me that I should make it from the base game.  There will be a lot more decor by the time I'm done.  It's still a work in process.

How could that be?  The DecaDynasty has to be played with existing townie houses.  I built this one from scratch.

Maybe Chronic thought you demolished the original house?

Well I thought you bulldozed the original in build mode and built a new one from scratch.

But that fence and gate are so perfect! I love the house overall, but the garage doesn't seem quite right on the inside, or outside. For the outside maybe you should place a burglar alarm on the space? It would be that tiny extra bit of décor it needs and functional.

Pam, I love the outside and that gate in particular works really well. I'm not so keen on the inside. The colours don't seem to be working for me.

Wow.  I thought this was the showboat thread to show off our creations.  I don't recall asking for criticism, constructive or otherwise.  I'll just remove my post now.

Please don't! But this thread is generally used by people to get constructive criticism and tips to improve their build before they upload to the swap shop. Maybe the title is a little misleading...

Oh, I'm sorry! I guess I'm sort of in the habit of commenting on houses in this thread. I'll remove my comment. 

[Pam]

The title is not misleading.  We created this thread so that there would be a place for members to show off their creations.  Even when we had building contests, there was a strict rule that nobody was to offer criticism unless the builder asked for it.  If he/she doesn't ask, don't offer it.  That's a rule I've had to enforce in the past, myself.  I hope you all will take a lesson here.  Don't offer negative comments on something unless the builder has asked for help or constructive criticism.  It's just plain rude and we don't do that here.

[Seabody]

Ah, so if I make a build, which is totally bad, but don't ask for criticism, then people shouldn't give it to me?

No, they shouldn't.  If you don't want criticism, then nobody should give it to you.  If they can't say something nice about your project, then say nothing at all.  We don't want someone posting a house just to share it and have people come slamming down with negative comments.  It's not nice and if the builder hasn't requested help or advice, then you're forcing your opinion on someone who may not want it.  This has been a rule from way back since we first started having building contests and should have been followed through on the showboat thread. 

[CarlosLordofTacos]

Sorry, well, nonetheless it was a great house and I hope you upload it to the swap shop.
