Samoth04 - I saw on  the internet a house with much more overhang without support and I try to make something similar. I know I'm not so good with modern houses, but  I hope one day will be better.

Now those worlds are so amazing ! there is nothing I can say about those buildings chukcles ! I'm really bad at picking names too, that is why I always ask a friend or ask on the sims 3 official fb page, there are some very creative people who could help

@Agneza : Beach house is amazing, your recolors are flawless, as Thomas said, it would look better if you used higher foundation  and made it a bit wider, you can try to lower the terrain below it to give it more balance, maybe also too much blue on the outside covering, but I'm not an expert on that either :P

Now my turn to show off :P I have build this house for my current household, so you might understand the weird colors sometimes, , here is what I got :







This is the first time I tried to play with the terrain tool a bit, it was a mess, tried fixing it with foundation :P and used the 1 squares to use the glass house landscape





Let me know what you think ;D

That house is very nice, don't get me wrong about that. Just for me that overhangs a little too much and to me looks like it needs some form of support like a wall or column or something.  :)

@ Kiko, I like it, very modern looking and has a lo of nice features. From the outside I'm not so sure about that long room with all those windows, are the windows needed? I'm wondering what it looks like without them.

It was originally build with no windows, then I added only the middle row, but it kind of looked dull, so I though of adding the windows like that, it is just a one square wide long room to cover the slopped driveway, so those windows are there just because I couldn't figure out what to do else :P

@kiko I like what you did with the plants growing in the foundation - I actually have something similar in mind for an entryway to another modern mini. It's very effective. With the other plants, in the living room and kitchen however, I think it might improve it if you either remove a few, or change them for some more variation. I especially like those tropical leaves of repose myself (from memory I think that's what they're called).

@Thomas: Your world is coming along nicely! I really got the fantasy feel of it with that screenie of the male sim running along, I am putting my name down on the 'will download' list! :D

@Kiko: I am going to invent something that lets humans become sims for a day, then I will live in that house. It's gorgeous! :D I especially like the mix of plants and metallics in that last screenie.

Thank you Fez!  :) I'm hoping this World won't take that long to complete, well all the building might but the World itself is something that I can do on School Nights because it doesn't take ages for the game to load up and all that. CAw is quite fast on my PC.

thank you fez and dellena for the compliments :)

@Chuckles : I though it would fit nicely into the "one with nature" house theme, it is also a great way of decoration patios and balcony's , this is house was all about me using any peice of store Item I own, I did notice the excessive (abuse :P) of that plant, I will be giving that a second though ;D

Chuckles, I just have to say WOW! That world looks amazing!! I absolutely love all the buildings and how modern it all looks! The Vampire Club is a favourite of mine!
Thomas, I love love love the landscaping you've done, I really like the island and the streams. I will definitely be downloading an empty version and a full version!
