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

thank you . I meant that, typing mistaken .

Loving the club Agneza! 

thank you . I meant that, typing mistaken .

Lol, no problem. I thought it was a typo. Not a silly mistake, I spelt 'he' wrong the other day. 

[Yarakisagoa]

I love the way it turns out. Nature .

I saw Lynley's home that was posted earlier and took a fancy to it. I decided to try and make something like it, and am pleased with the results. I'd post to the swap shop- but I want to know if I should make any final changes and I should also get Lynley's permission











Thoughts?

[Gogowars329]

I like it Zap. But isn't the bar in the bedroom facing the wrong way?

[ZapKid]

So it is! I'll fix it later. Glad you like it.

@Agneza – Yay you are wall curving again! Hah, I was beginning to think I was too long winded and confusing in my tutorial and no one used it. The dance club is really nice. I like how it looks like you just stumbled onto it in the middle of a forest hah. Might I suggest a two story column to hold the roof in that one section that is in the front. If you move it halfway into the corner there utilizing MOO I think it would look nice when you color it to match.  I know that sounds weird, I am talking about that one section of the roof that is on the left side of the front. I am guessing it is exactly two stories tall, so you can use any of the two story columns and just move it directly onto the tile of the corner. It might sound weird, but if you try it out (I would suggest Ye Olde Column), I think you might like it

@Zapkid – Looking great. I know I suggest to Lynley to soften the color, but in your version, might I suggest to strengthen it a bit. I feel like the brown of the right side of the house blends in too much with the wood. I like the wood, I would suggest making that brown maybe a gold. Also, I do not understand the bar in the bedroom, it is right against the wall so you cannot use it. Or am I right in guessing it is just decorative Might I suggest moving the bar forward and to the left by 1 tile, close that area with two counter islands, and then create the overhead cabinet both over this new area and one tile forward too. I know given the current size of the room you cannot do this, but maybe you can increase the bedroom by two tiles hah. I know that was oddly worded so I am going to try creating an image here

Ok so the two orange lines are one corner overhead cabinet. The gray lines are all overhead cabinets. The four blue lines are the bar. And the teal lines are the corner island counter and normal island counter. This would close off the bar area at the counters but leave a cool little walkway to get into the bar area directly under the overhead cabinet (the horizontal one). If this is making no sense just let me know and I can just make it in game and take a few images to show you lol.

I think it looks great.  I really like the colors and the design of interior.  Since I based mine off of this house plan, I figure it is fair game. 

[norenegonc]

That website you linked looks like it is for real estate but the house in the images on that site looks like it was created in the Sims... weird hah

ZapKid, this house is too "bold" for me, and the decorating is too simple. I like the original version of this house better . But anyway, good job.

Now I know why you have this signature, lol.

Sorry about the extra images before, I took them all down. I thought that rule was for when you were linking a house on the other forum, but I will remember that from now on Sorry if I tend to overimage in general, my builds tend to generally be large and so there is always so much about which to inquire hah. But I will try to reduce that

So I am back with the theatre. I decided to really try at the interior designing this time. I usually just finish the main structure and then get bored and start tossing items around without recoloring anything. Yet for some reason I really like this build and so I thought maybe some effort was called for. So I took a few images and had some questions because I am not so good at the actual decorating after the structure has been built hah.

Does this statue cluster look decent or too cluttered.



Still not certain what  to do with the side and the outdoor decorating in general. I tried making some 1 story columns but it still looks vacant. I see some wonderful outdoor decorating on the forums where it seems like every inch has been colored, but I feel like whenever I do that I tend to create this cluttered look. I tried to color in some bits and I think it looks decent but I wonder if it is yet too much white.





I finally took some time to do color in all the interior furnishing, I wonder if these rooms fit the general look and feel of the structure and maybe your thoughts on them.

The entrance hall



The library and study





All three stories of the grand theatre (I intend to recolor those white boxes to some kind of stone)



The state dining room



The main restroom

[pallyndrome]

I think most of it is truly stunning - I like the decorating on the inside. I am only a little confused by the bathroom. Do people usually go to the toilet, and shower and bath in front of each other?

[norenegonc]

No hah, they won't, at least your characters in the game won't (cue the shooing!). And I guess outside a locker room situation, there really isn't much showering together in reality either hah. In all honesty I just thought the two showers and two tubs looked really cool ha. I tried to recreate the structure with one tub and one shower but it just doesn't look the same. With the showers the effect I was trying for was making the two showers look like they were just one large shower, the way someone might throw two single beds side by side using MOO and make it look like just the one. As for the toilets, I do actually believe your characters in game will be okay with using them with others in the room because technically the toilets are walled off on each side so it counts as a room.

I saved two rooms for a dressing room for the actors and actresses and a second smaller restroom, so with two restrooms I don't think anyone in game is going to be in wait for a toilet or quick shower hah.

Also, thank you SO much for your wonderful comments, they are really so kind and I am so glad to read them. I was going back and forth and back and forth creating this wall design or coloring that item of furniture and am glad to know it is looking good. I am sort of thinking to just toss a bed or two into the building and move my family in hah. Then they could just float around the stony halls and maybe create some skits for each other (ok I know they cannot hah, but if you turned off free will you could have a few of them sitting in the audience and create your own little skits <.<, lol imagine that a skit inside a game that is one giant skit in and of itself, the irony).

[Darkeroid]

Love the house Zapkid and Lynley.Off to make my version.
