Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[norenegonc]

@Agneza... Wow, it is INCREDIBLE. I think we can ditch the tall man statue though, it no longer seems to fit in lol. And where did you find those lions with wings, is that some clever moveobjects or a store item. I think we can also move this discussion to the builder's summit thread and discuss ideas and stuff there so as not to bother anyone here with countless threads or images lol. Thanks so much again! Also, I sent you a message in the tells. Cheers

@Bamjo - I didn't think it was that ugly before <.< hah

@Twinmum - I like the windowless one as well. I think you will like it even better when you do the windows in the front. If you really wanted to do something else with the stair area, maybe something like a fence along the sides of the stairs would look nice, and then you can leave the wall area windowless. Or maybe some fauna boxes using the flat half wall might look nice there.

@Kattiq: I'm loving that home! Could you please post it to the Swap Shop? (Just so I can remodel it in my eyes for practice, lol.)

[Gogowars329]

I like the window option rather than the no window. Looks really smart.

Will do as soon as I get a chance! Thanks

[Agneza]

Twinmum - maby you tray without window  and wall (where are windows now)and put fence,( Like open space) bur I'm not shure... :-\Sorry for my english

[Twinmum]

I'll play around a bit more. I probably should finish the front walls at least before worrying too much about the stairs.
@samoht04 yes I do have the BahHaus set. I could try some different windows.
@ Gogowars329 thank you
@ Agneza and norenegonc The trouble I have with no walls or half walls is that then there is nothing supporting the stairs (I know they don't need support in the game, but I like some realism).

I think why I liked the windows version was when I was re-learning how to do these stairs (I used to build them in TS2) the tower I built was not attached to a building and it looked very nice with the windows.

[Agneza]

Twinmum - the U steps look great !

I meant no insult by my comment. Your an Incredibly talented builder. Agneza is Incredible at making things come to life. I was just complimenting her.

[norenegonc]

Oh hah, I was just joking. I actually agree with you, Agneza's talent for coloring is something else.

Phew!  A  lot of catching up to do!  Sorry for the absence but I've been having fun just PLAYING in UC instead of worrying over building it.  (Although I keep seeing things I want to tweak a little. lol)

Ok, first of all, Agneza may I please have BOTH of those builds?  They are perfect for my remodel. Just so charming and colorful.  I love the rainbow!  I love the hobbit house!

Losing track.  Twinmum I absolutely love the tower with the stairs and all the windows!  So light and airy and they don't need any other support.  I know it feels strange but I've actually been in a building where you have just such a set up.  Lots of glass and the stairs just seem to float up and up and up.

Kattiq  I'm with Zapkid in loving what you are doing.

Ok, who did I miss?  It's late, I'm tired and already broke my first goal which was to stop playing and go to sleep earlier!  lol  Happy New Year everyone!

kattiq- I love it, especially the front.  It looks so inviting.  I would definitely download if you shared in on the Swap Shop.

Twinmum-I like the windowless stairs best.  It looks really cool, either way though.


This is my latest house.  I recently bought the BahHaus set and wanted to try out a modern build.  It is only one bedroom and one bath.   I based it off a plan which included the planter in the front but not sure if it looks quite right.  Any suggestions?

[ZapKid]

Looks great! The dining room rug/living room rug patterns look a little intense, maybe tone it down a bit? The planter in the front looks a little peculiar, also. Maybe remove the halfwall? You should try and make the red flooring in front look a little closer to the original color (If you don't know what I'm talking about, look above the two square windows- the flooring right there.) Oh, you could add a tree also. Other than that, the interior/exterior looks great.

Nice house, Lyn. I think I'm gonna put some flower in the front, instead of those tree (because the house is small, so put something small will fit). Also put some rocks and sand around the house will make it look more "modern feel" . And a darker wood in the front maybe?

[Agneza]

Lynley- it's a great house,I like it very much, maby  half wall is little to high .

Joria - Unfortunatelly, yesterday I closed the game without saving  and without saving copy of the Hobbit house. I made another one but it's impossible to make an exact copy. Sorry... I hope this one is ok...

Suggestions?
