Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

[norenegonc]

Long holiday weekend yay So of course I am building lol. I began work on a coffee house (no! not that kind of coffee house, cheeky haha).

I had an idea in my head and it turned out.. alright, I guess what I am wondering is if it will fit into the rest of the fantasy world lol. Cheers

Edit - Yikes I am sorry to redo the same build, but something about the coffeehouse I already did was really bothering me. I realised it was the exaggerated curve of the top of the cup. So I lowered it a bit and instead of just colouring the top of the cup a coffee colour, I also decided a small wall would show more depth, and I accented the cup's design. Ok here is the new one!

Your builds are simply amazing! I love the cup.

Your builds are simply amazing! I love the cup.

Thank you I was wondering, does anyone have any advice on how to make the bottom look more like a saucer dish. I tried the border design, but I feel like there could be more done, I just do not know what.

[pallyndrome]

The cup is really cute! I think what the saucer needs is a different main colour - the border is fine the way it is, but I think with cups and saucers, the saucer is usually a similar colour to the cup...

I've started a just for fun file in Starlight Shores and decided to build my Sim's house. I thought it looked pretty nice so I though I would show you guys. It is a starter home by the way.

Oh Gogo I like! It's definitely a very well done starter. Can I download it?

[Gogowars329]

Thanks pally. I can put it up onto the Swap Shop if you like.
EDIT: Here it is pally. Thought I'd do it quickly so I wouldn't forget.

[pallyndrome]

Thanks Gogo - downloading now - I love well done starters.

@ norenegonc. I just love your cup house. You're very creative. I think the saucer should be the same dark blue that you have on the bottom of the cup. I do love the border on the saucer. What a great job you did ! 

@ Gogowars329. I love your starter home. Very nicely done. I really like the design on your kitchen chairs. Great work ! 

[norenegonc]

Thanks guys for the advice on the cup! I changed the saucer to a beige and the border of the saucer to match the blue on the cup. Thank you!

So new build I am working on. It is for a showtime large concert venue. I finished the structure which took forever, not because it was difficult but because clicking has become very... odd. Has anyone else noticed that since showtime, it has been very difficult to make single clicks with terrain tools, very weird... So I would be sitting there for like 10 minutes clicking over and over again until I get a single click (usually does 2-3 clicks each time I click the mouse). Anyway... So I have an idea of what to do with the middle, which will basically be tiered seating, but what my question is would be basically what to do with the front. Should I curve the entrance to match the rest of the structure, or are there too many arches as it is haha. Oh and also, should I make a single tile roof over the arches (all throughout) or does it look better without one. Ok well, thank you in advance for the advice

Oh and if you are wondering why there seem to be 8-9 floors, just let me know and I can email you or something explaining the technique Cheers!

[pallyndrome]

It looks like the Colloseum! I would suggest not putting a single tile roof over the arches - but you could try it and decide for yourself. Also I think a partial arch for the entrance (like the other arches) could look nice. I'm looking forward to seeing more of it!

[Toni]

That looks amazing norenegonc! The colour scheme looks great. The tiles over the arches give it more detail in my opinion.

[pallyndrome]

By "tile roof" I thought you meant actual roof - if you only meant floor tiles, then yes I would say it looks good with floor tiles.

[Shadowkeepernoir]

Wow absolutely stunning creations. Looks like a French Gothic Cathedral parked next to the Coliseum, very cool. I'm new to Sims and new to forum (which has been ultra helpful, thank you).

Here is a sci-fi themed home I have begun work on in Lunar Lakes. With the new UFOs so tantalisingly out of reach while I play a challenge, I felt that I had to build a home that would be suited to having one. When it's finished it will be decked out with much of the future shock sets, and fully scientifically upgraded. I had the concept for this build in my head a long time back, but just couldn't actualise it.
