Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[ZapKid]

Zapkid your screenies aren't showing up at all.  Photobucket seems to think you've used too much bandwidth.  Why not try our inhouse photo thingie?  It's really not that hard to use and will hold TONS of pictures.

Thanks for pointing this out, already got a PM. Still trying to figure out the Gallery- can it show pictures without having to go to the main page or whatever?

Here is my latest attempt at a modern family home in Lunar Lakes.  And my first Place Friezes cheat Suggestions?

[EnglishRose]

I love the black-and-red theme, judewright! I wish I had Lunar Lakes, I really love the futuristic theme.
Here are some screenshots of a house I made a while back - it's in Sunset Valley, but would really fit a lot better in Al Simhara...

The front of the house:


The zen garden:


The lower atrium area:


And the upper landing:

[JudesSims]

Thank you, EnglishRose! And your house is awesome! How many bedrooms? Is it available for download? I really, really love it!

[EnglishRose]

Thank you! It has three bedrooms and I think three baths. No, it's not up for download but I can put it on the Exchange and add a link if you like (I've never used the Swap Shop so I'm not sure how). Thanks so much for the encouragement!

[JudesSims]

That would be wonderful, Rose

[EnglishRose]

Here you go! I kope the link works (for some reason the pictures won't show up, I'm not sure why...)

I built this house while playing with a certain family, so there is a bit of a surprise in the basement! Thank you again, I'd definitely like to check out some of your houses too

Thank you, Rose. I'll check it when I get my grand kids (real ones...LOL) settled with their homework. I have a lot of houses built but very few are shown on the forum because I don't think they're as good as the other talented peoples' here. I might go through them and put a few of my favorites on the forum here.

[EnglishRose]

I'm just the same, I've made a lot of buldings but rarely upload them. From what I've seen yours look great though! Good luck with your grandkids - I should really go and finish MY homework, it's eleven p.m. here and I have college tomorrow... and this is completely off topic so I'll stop now  

[JudesSims]

I downloaded it with no problems...thanks!

[Agneza]

Jude - Great job !I think it's your the best house.
EnglishRose - Beautiful colors! I love this house .

[loveSims]

Wow Jude! That house look really awesome! I love the colors. Rose your house is simply awesome! You must think about taking part in the building competition!

[JudesSims]

Thank you so much, Ladies! I am working very hard at trying to improve my building skills. Sometimes it's a bit daunting but I "think" I'm getting better

[EnglishRose]

Thank you all very much! LoveSims, I didn't realise there was a building competition, I'll have to check it out! I'm really busy at the moment with big exams coming up though so I don't have too much time for a big project Thanks for letting me know, and for the encouragement!

@Zapkid:  to answer your question, yes, you don't always have to go to the Main Page to use the Gallery.  I personally just keep a tab open although I have to log in every time.  What I like is you can keep all your things in separate folders.  So if you are working on a contest, for instance, you put your pics in "contest" folder, or if you are working on a Sim in can go in a folder for just Sims, etc.  You can also make some of the folders private, your eyes only, which we did for UC builds.

@ Judewright:  I LOVE the bright colors in your LL build.  I am not a fan of modern houses as they all tend to look alike after awhile, at least on the outside, but that pop of red color made your building just stand out.  And it's REAL red, not just that nasty rusty color you see so much of in LL.  The interior is outstanding!  Oh, and the one that looks like a wedding cake?  I happen to like that one.  Nothing wrong with a slice of cake!

@ Agnezawars:  I didn't mention your build before because I THINK I pm'd you about it.  I love the color choices and shape of the building.

@English Rose:  love, love, love that Morrocan theme!  Looks very Spanish to me.  It would also look great in Al Simhara and I could see that building being turned into a venue even.  Well done!
I'm really bad and tech stuff but I'm pretty sure there is a thread that tells you how to use the Swap Shop for sharing.  It must not be too hard because even I can use it and I'm hopeless with technology.
