Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

I was thinking about the pool, and I think I'm going to add it now. Rushes off to do so immediately.

Edit:

Nice!  I think it's the perfect added touch.

@Jude:  I finally got to see that darling Riverview house!  I love it.  May I use it in Enchanted Havens?  (Temporary name of BB rebuild.)

Yes, of course you can! I'm very flattered!

Looks great so far !!

Latest update for Enchanted Havens.

Garden of the Forgotten front view:  (note Agneza's Fantasy Lighthouse and Ratchie and Stella's Gnome Away From Gnome in background)



GoF, Weeping Fairy area:



GoF, telescope and pond w. Deathfish!  Yayyy!



Agneza's Fantasy Lighthouse, view 1:



Agneza's Fantasy Lighthouse, view 2:  (note picnic area and fantasy trees in nonroutable area.  Sims WILL use these areas so why not make them function?)



Gnome house, and house built by Agneza as well as local house.



I hope Stella likes the way I landscaped the area around the house!





Agneza house she built for, I think the name is Seawench?



There is so much more to do on this build, but when I'm through it will be very whimsical and pretty, will have a small spooky area, and will have all current venues up to Show Time and all pretty centrally located, to make navigating really easy (except for Neashaleigh's Tomb of Arcanus which I just HAD to put in across from the Goldbeards) . 

If all these updates are starting to become boring or annoying, let me know and I'll stop adding them and no offense taken.  Just because I'm rather enamored of this task doesn't mean you all are.

Hugs,
Joria

This is really coming along well, Joria! Good job!

Here's my new project.  The interior isn't done yet, but it is a 3 bedroom, 5 bath four level home with a trophy/photography room and an aquarium room.

This is the front.  It's a four level modern home with some classic twists.  The home features a multi-leveled garden with a pond and a walk-out glass porch on the second level.





A closeup of the pond (you can see the multi-level garden in the back).





Here's the back of the house.  It's perched on a cliff and features a partially-covered patio with kitchen.  There is also an infinity pool with windows to enjoy the view while underwater.

I've built a wedding chapel for my Dreamweaver Townie DecaDynasty that I'd like to share here.  It turned out really well.  I'm just going to post the link to the images of it in my story tread rather posting them in duplicate here.

The Pinocle Wedding Chapel

@ Pam,  hmmm, and you are saying you are not a fabulous builder?  I think we've discussed this before?  Ok, there are some who are extremely fabulous, (I do NOT consider myself one of them), but you are definitely a great builder.  Your chapel is beautiful, meaningful and just feels like a happy place for a wedding!   You also chose my personal favorite color scheme!  It just makes you feel good just looking at it.

@dnaGirl, I love, love, love this build.  I am hopeless when it comes to doing multi-level things and infinity pools so this really hit the spot for me.  Have you play tested it?  Are you going to share?  (hint, hint).  Can hardly wait to see the interior when you're done!

[dnagirl]

Pam, I love your little chapel.  I've also now been sucked into your Dreamweaver story.  I've never even visited that section of the forum yet and now...hooked!

Joria, I've never uploaded a house before, but will be glad to figure it out.  I do have some CC in the house (artwork on the walls basically since I started decorating), but I can remove it, play test to make sure everything works and try to upload for you?

Beautiful Chapel Pam! I never take the time to deal with parties and weddings, usually I just do the Private Wedding thing. I might have to try it out more often. Are the chairs from the store?

I'm half done with a house that I'm planning to be the first of a series of skill themed house. This house's theme is collecting.

I got the idea of using marble walls from a game I was playing, it feels more expensive than the parisian theme I started with.
Here's the front yard.

First floor, I'm having a hard time decorating the rooms.

Second floor, if you look closely, the entire west wing (the one on the right) are going to be bedrooms.

This house is a pain to build, especially the walls, I used wall sets that have to be manually placed a panel at a time, and I had to do it twice because of a major color/medium change.

[Joria]

Oh, my word it's gorgeous!!!  WOW!

[SassySimmer]

YZJay, that is an amazing build!  And I can definitely see your theme coming through for a collector, as it looks like a museum!

[Leto85]

YZjay, amazing build. I'm really looking forward to follow the rest of your progress.
