Sims 3 - The Official Building/Remodeling Showboat Thread

The beach bungalows are pretty nice.  Perfectly suited to the project.

Trucking along myself (at a snail's pace no less).  Here's the master suite.

[Audren]

I love the colors. Nice and modern, but with a classical side. 

[Micler]

@Samoht- Your house is great! I especially love the architecture of the front, the dining room, and the outdoor area. I also agree that the living room furniture is too close to the t.v, and I think the study is a bit overwhelming.

@Danefaith- I always like your minibars. The master is awesome, but I don't think the keyboard looks good right beside the bed.

[LoveEvil]

Anushka your beach bungalows are lovely. 

Here is something I finished making a few days ago as a gift for a friend. I have been enjoying playing it inbetween building my next lot. I have called it "Sunset Pier".

[danefaith]

@ LoveEvil:  Wow, how did you build over water?  I've never seen that done before.  It's definitely a very nice pier.

@ Micler: Thanks for the input.  I'm looking back and agreeing on the keyboard.  I might move or replace it.

[Anushka]

Thanks everyone, I imagined that area few weeks ago, and now I'm all over it, and idea's are bursting.  No pictures for now, but in few days I'll post the results. Your comments are very encouraging.
Pallyndrome, this is a part of CAW project that is getting ready for Swap Shop, So they will be up along with many other lots
Dane, thanks. I like both bedrooms, maybe one tiny tiny thing, can you put that green 3 part painting a little bit up to be in the middle and not so close to floor? I love the idea of putting it under TV but something is not fitting perfectly. I like the piano there, had it in my own apartment for a while set almost exactly like that
LoveEvil, that is so beautiful! It reminds me of that Pier in Sims 2 Tiki Vacation destination. I'm also curious how you place lot ove ocean in SV, I did that in CAW with few of those boungalows, but never was able to do that with World editor in Edit town.  

[Seabody]

I'm guessing here, but did you place a lot near the beach (or use Old Pier Beach), then use the water terrain tool to make it blend in?

[danefaith]

OK, finally the teen's room.  Disarray was an emphasis here, but still functional I hope.

I'm debating between the above and another version in which I make a slightly greater emphasis on matching.



Now just need to do the background and check for final touches and I'm done.  Yay~.

Thanks Micler! Trouble is there is a Door right behind it and having it too close my caught some pathing issues especially with the full house, (it's not full at the moment!  ), the Study seems okay in game but I see what you mean, it might change in the future.

[Anushka]

Dane, I'm more for a mismatching option, but you know better what will fit with the rest of the house, those "not lined" carpets are already giving the impression of messy teen room, so colors are bonus. I'm looking forward for that beauty.
Samoht, I checked the house, it is very elegant in old fashion way, colors are little dark, and whole impression was like it is a house designed for Agness just jocking, I don't know what to add beside what is already said, cauches too close to TV and little empty outdoor, it looks more like a comunity park garden, but in homes such are that, only ivy is missing to cover half of it, gardener in funny hat to take care of it, and a butler bringing refreshing for, well, Agness
Seabody, I don't think that was the case, because of few details, water looks in one piece, and it seems that waves are hitting rocks below it, and coast don't look shorter than it is in SV, but this doesn't have to be Sunset Valey, but some other town made on SV map, which is available in CAW. It's best to wait for LoveEvil to tell us the secret.

[samoht04]

I could liighten the exterior a bit, actually yeah, I think I will. 

[danefaith]

If I could make a suggestion going from Anushka's, I'd say make sure the wall color is a bit lighter than the stone pathways.  At the moment, they're very close in shade and it causes them to melt into one another.  A bit of a shade different will give them distinction.

It could also use some flowers to expand the color palette, and a few palm trees closer to the structure itself.

[pallyndrome]

dane- I love that room. Just the way you've pushed the boundaries, with diagonals, and messiness. I would go for the first pic, with not much matching. In fact, I think you could go even further with that and the messiness

[RubyLovesSims]

danefaith, the teen room looks great. It's just how (classy) teenager's bedroom would look.
Eagerly anticipating the rest of the house!

[danefaith]

I think I've created a fire hazard.



I was astonished that the dart-board is functional, even behind a desk.  Frankly, I'm astonished that anything functions at the moment, let alone that it all does.
