Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[ZapKid]

If you have Pets and you're near to taking the final pictures I would suggest putting that in AP. I think the Landscaping you've done would fit in better there. The House looks very cool and modern. I would have to say I don't like the pool/fountain at the front, along with those two block foundations at each end. Other than that it looks fantastic. 

I actually sort of liked the blocks, because they were a key element I wanted to keep. The pool and fountain definitely need some work, though.

You watch tv from the blue couches.
What's a partition?

Well, I started to read and wanted to comment but my memory sucks so please forgive me if I forget names. 

The race track:  EXCELLENT.  At first I thought it was strictly for drag races but then I saw the track did actually make a loop.  Well done.  What size lot is it on?  I'd like to see one on a huge lot to give that "Daytona" appeal to it, or Grand Prix.

Actually it was just supposed to be for drag races, and then I realized the entrance, exit, and pit road all made it look like an oval track. I have redone it now and I think its shaping up better to what I had envisioned. It's on a 64x64 lot. Unfortunately I cannot make the track to scale, as an 1/8th mile drag strip would be too long for a 64x64 lot. So its more like a 1/16th mile racetrack.

I do plan on making a Daytona style track, I just have to play around with making the banked corners look right.

Also, I have figured out that you cannot place vehicles on a community lot, so it will now be a really cool home lot, as I don't feel it looks right without any cars on the track. I can make use of the race car bed I have now.

Here is the new racetrack. Also in case anyone it unfamiliar with what a Drag strip is, here is a picture of a real one.

Agneza, that is the one of the best houses I think you've made! Once you upload I'm definitely downloading.

Zapkid, I suggest adding one of the other excerise equipment to replace the 2nd treadmill.

Widow, it looks great!

Thank you gogowars  and I like it very much

My last build that was Modern was deleted through a family member and now I've started a new build. It will be called, Outside, In. Or something like that.

Here's the Front and Back. The sides are the same as the back.


Here's Inside. It's hard to get good photos in with all the plants on the outside.





Any thoughts/suggestions? I'm only using Base Game and the free store plant on the walls.

@Gogowars329  Looks pretty good to me.

If it were me though, the sink in the bathroom wouldn't be on the glass wall. I mean, where does the water come from? lol.   

Very creative

I thought that too, but really, it's Sims, the sink could be in the bed! It was either the sink or the shower against the windows and I chose sink.

I like the house. It reminds me of a comic I used to have of Donald Duck. The kids bought a wirevine that wasn't supposed to be out of it's little glass dome. He does his Donald tantrum and and smashes it. It grows and consumes their whole house until they have a plant for a house. It literally makes the shape of the house.

Gogowars- - I like it !  It's so funny  Maybe yellow - green carpet will be fine,  and you can put few Boston Fern in  the orange flowers (now are little too orange)  and replace pink roses with yellow lilac - what do you think?

I'll get to work! You've got some great ideas Agneza.

[Gogowars329]

Did as you said Agneza but did not add the Yellow Lilac as they are from WA. I was added a few other plants to the outside.




Is it ready to be uploaded or a bit more work?
