Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

First posts says links are fine.   No where in all the 130+ pages has anyone ever added uploads to this thread from what I can tell though.  Forum policy is uploads are only allowed in the swap shop.

Go check out the swap shop or my studio if you would like these new additions to Dragon Valley.  I remodeled two buildings to make a private venue and a live show.  Varg's is now a private venue and Dragon Tavern is now a live show.  All particulars about EP's and store items are shown in the swap shop.

Varg's Pics:

Here is the upper level stage and rest rooms.  There is a second bar here so there will be two bartenders.  I used some of Larifari2009's recolors of patterns in this one.  Genius at recoloring standard EA patterns so no CC involved.



Lower level dance floor and bar area.

Fantastic builds Joria!

I very rarely get in the building mood when it doesn't have a story purpose but today I decided I wanted to try something since we have new options. 

I give you -- Grill it or Marry It Waterfall Park 

Clicking on images will make them larger.   







The benches and picnic tables came from Seasons.  The fence is from Barnacle Bay. 

Unfortunately I can't share the lot because it glitches out with the large rocks not saving properly or transferring to the sims3pack which makes the lot look funky.

Wow...what a great place to go and hide for a while . I just love it ! Very quaint and peaceful looking . Awesome park !

It's nice Ricalynn. Do you know, can sims only fish when there's no fence in the way?

[Ricalynn]

I've only seen Sims fishing in the official videos where there wasn't fence but I never thought to test it.  I think I might do that right now.


Edit: They can definitely fish over a fence.  Doesn't seem to matter how tall the fence is either.

Oh, sorry, Rica.  Before, way early on, we were able to also put the uploads here so folks could find them easily.  I guess just a link would be ok?

I think I know what she saw once.  On my first build I was confused and put a link here to a garden I had made, thought it was supposed to go here.  Smaoht and a couple of others here were great and guided me to the correct place to put the garden (Swap Shop).  I think it was Smaoht who removed it for me and told how he did it (removing the link). I'm not very computer savvy, obviously. 

She probably saw that and so thought it was okay to put links here.

Awesome, thanks RIcA!

I've been building three different lots recently, one is a request for Cathair, another is a house in Lucky Palms and the one I am showing today is a salon in Starlight Shores that uses some of the new features from Patch 1.55.

Here it is from the front and then the back. The building on the right is the bathrooms but I haven't built those yet.


The small little area in the front has one of the stylist station.

Infront of the bathrooms there is a little cafe area, perfect for stylists still on the job but starving.

The main building's first floor has a small waiting area and a stylist station.



And the second floor has a tanning booth along with a tattoo chair.



Any comments would be much appreciated. I'll probably upload this after I get Island Paradise as there are a few items that I'd like to put into the lot.

Well... I really love it . Great look and location . You did an excellent job working with the new tools . Can't wait to see what else you add to it .

That is stunning, Gogowars! Could you possibly put it on the Swap Shop when you have finished it? However, I think it would look even nicer on the outside if you put some windows at the front of the building on the right in the first picture.

Thank you ladybug!

Thanks bubbles! I will definitely add a window or two there. I only haven't already since it is all empty inside.

So, I made a houseboat.



Or, more than one.



And I might have made a third.



I really like making houseboats. Or, I really like making the cockpit/bridge. The helm has to be in the center!

I've uploaded my salon to the Swap Shop here if anyone is interested.
