Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[pallyndrome]

Chuckles those buildings are all absolutely wonderful! Please please please upload them to the swap shop - I would love to have them!

[Chuckles_82]

The entire world will be uploaded to the swap shop (I can do that, right?) when it is finished. I'd say I'm probably 3/4 done. I have some more houses to build, a few more community lots, add a comparative amount of beautiful vista bonuses to a few lots.. and then some polish I think. Oh, and more play-testing.

In the meantime, ideas for names for the world and some of the lots will be very helpful!!

Pam - Dellana does have a lot of CC in that House.

Chuckles - Oh My Wowzers. That is a very beautiful collection of mini Lots and I love all of them! Of course you can use that rebuild styled on my Lot! Loving it all so far! As for CAW those cliffs need more terrain painting, lower the falloff and opacity on some grass or dirt and go over lightly on those cliffs to add some detail and smooth of that rocks.

I've been building my own World as well, it's slow but steady. It's a Fantasy/Country style World and was inspired by Agneza's Fairytale Builds. I placed lots but I think I'm going to have to remove them because ANushka said by altering terrain after placing lots you can get a glitch... Any thoughts so far? Nowhere near done though.





None of the terrain painting is really done, mainly just the areas with trees. I hope I have enough Community Lots though, I didn't count them, Lol.

[Chuckles_82]

You might have enough if you are using shells, and you cram some shells onto the same lot. I really like the section that you have added the trees to, and the dirt track.

Thanks for the tips on the terrain paint. I'm not especially good with it, but I'll give it a go. I may need to download some more terrain paints.

Thanks for letting me use the lot

@Chuckles: I want that world! It's a modern dream! It looks so fresh and urban and luxurious and wow!

@Thomas: I like what you have done so far. I like the inspiration behind it and the fantasy theme sounds lovely, I can't wait to see more.

[samoht04]

Thanks Fez.  I'm trying to get terrain paints right in the centre of the town but it's being difficult on me, Lol. I also have another island that is postponed whilst I do this World, I keep switching back and forth between them and then to Ruby's World but that is very slow and I am not happy with that one. I also have an idea in my head of a Mountain top type World but I don't know, might end up with that today as well.

Chuckles, You are doing a great job on your world. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished and downloading it.

[ZapKid]

@Chuckles: Stop, stop, stop! You're going to stamp my talent into the ground for building houses!   

@Samoht: I am absolutely loving it. I have a request for it though, could you please upload the same world with no homes/community lots on any lots? That way, I could build on it without having my computer glitch out because of the full world.
I definitely don't need this, but it really is a gorgeous world and would be amazing to build in.

I second this. Please?

[samoht04]

Thanks ZapKid and Neon! I was planning on it, one empty, one full and then uploading a save game including some townies I make. I may also upload townies separately so people could pick and choose or something. Just so you know it isn't going to be a neat and modern world, there's a lot of dirt and I've tried blending the roads and paths in with a similar terrain paint to make it seem like the middle is worn from use. Can't get those darker sidewalks though.

P.s Welcome to the forum Neon, I don't think I've seen you around before? 

[Agneza]

Chuckles82 - Beautiful interior 
Samoht04 -  I'm waiting for your new World !!!

My new project "Beach house" (lot 20 x 15 ) - is not finish. For now I send few photos. Comments and landscaping ideas for this lot  are welcome .
 

[Agneza]

Chuckles I just saw your photos - you are amazing builder. I love your houses 

[xFezIsAFreakx]

Agneza, I am in love with that beach house! I like the waves on the walls and the blue colour scheme is very fitting. It's gorgeous!

[samoht04]

Agneza, I'm liking the beach house, although I think that overhang may just overhang a little too much without supports?

I did some more work, well kinda. I did routing and stuff since I finished pretty much with the terrain painting. The camera routing didn't work... the Sim routing did though. I then exported it to the proper game to try it out. I did a quick template house/style of what I'm thinking of filling the place with later and the trees around this are added through World Editor so they will change. Thoughts?



This is a footpath, specifically the one that leads to the house. Mainly to show you the blending of path and terrain paint. Just spotted that peak thing there, that needs fixing, or removing, Lol.



This is a quite large stream... Or small river, I'm going to try and see if I can make it look like it comes out of a cave or some underground water system.

So you are going to upload it without any builds? Sorry if am being pushy, I really like it.
