Thomas, can you put a link for this tutorial, please...

A friend of mine is making it and they let me have a sneak peak just to see if things made sense. They're still writing it though and will share it once they are done.

I love the library Agneza!  :D It's just another one to add to my list of Agneza's amazing builds.  8)

About Height Maps and which ones are best to pick and to make sure to make separate layers for different objects etc. and also what some of the tools in view do. Only part of it's done, not sure how much they are going to do though.

I assume you meant Fairy Tale? If so I think she said it was for her Fantasy World so I would say so.

@Lynley1248 – Very nice modern house! I think others have mentioned it but definitely look into throwing something else into the fauna boxes. Something tall with color, maybe sunflowers, or even small trees like the magnolia. Not too much but enough to create some flavor there I think. I also find the red a bit drastic, but it might just be the image. Maybe you might like a softer tone. The general structure and furnishing fits the modern theme flawlessly! So many talented modern builders here :)

@samoht04 – The beach world is looking great! I could definitely seeing it being a cozy little European coastal village or small beachfront modern city.

@Agneza – Wall curving! You mastered it hah, cool! The new library is looking great. By the way, I do not know if you intended for this, but in case you would like, you can actually leave the front connected to the main building. What you do is curve the first tile into the main building. Since you have an extra story you can just flatten the last story and it will cover the curved section of the main building while leaving the front with the curve. Basically this creates the effect that the curved and noncurved sections are touching and you are covering that awkward incline created by a curved wall meeting a noncurved wall will an extra story. The second technique is what you used (from what I can tell) where you just delete this area and leave a single tile of room in between the curved and noncurved sections. But! In case you wanted to in future (now that you can so wonderfully curve walls) I thought I would mention the other technique.

In any case! I started on a new build. I didn’t see too many community lots in the forums so I thought I would create a theatre. Its official use could likely be an art gallery or library. I based the structure somewhat on the Opera Garnier (or at least from what I could remember of it). Those of you who have been there might notice the similarities in the longness (rather than wideness) of the structure, the entrance stairs, the hidden area beneath the main stairs, the balconies in the theatre and of course the dome and gable roof. Of course the Opera Garnier is much more elaborate and magnificent than anything I could create hah. And the entrance is drastically different.

I remember the first time I went to the Opera Garnier to see Madame Butterfly and just feeling awestruck by the immense beauty of it all. The gorgeous marble stairs, the statues left and right, the grandeur of the theatre room, even the art student sitting in the corner drawing the ceiling hah. I thought I might recreate that feeling in this building. But after the initial structure is built, I feel like I get lost with the rest, the colors and windows and objects hah. So I thought I would ask for some advice.

I do not know what I should do with the sides. I feel like I should leave it alone, but then the inside does not get any natural light due to there not being any windows. I also included some images of the acting sets I created (there are only two at the moment, one for a formal living room scene and another for a sort of country market scene) and the entrance hall with the stairs. Those of you who are familiar with the Opera Garnier, does it look like this build managed to recreate even one millionth of the grandeur of Napoleonic era architecture.

Thanks and sorry for the long message!

norenegonc - I don't know the Opera Garnier, but I think what you'd done is simply stunning!
