Sims 3 - Building and Construction Requests Thread

[Cedia]

Will do! Is there anything specific you would like in the yard? A garage, pool, pond, etc? What expansions/stuff packs/store content do you have?

I have all EPs and all stuff packs, so no worries there.  As far as store content that I really love, that river rock fireplace is a must!  I plan on using the Hewnsman furniture a lot in there too.

A small pond would be nice, but nothing fancy, rocks and a few trees and... yeah, I dig those pink and yellow flower terrain paints, just a touch.  I like how Hidden Springs is pretty simple, and I'd like to move my family in bare bones if possible and let the house develop up as I play.  So liberal use of terrain paints would probably be best.  But if you feel like going whole hog, who am I to stop you?

Do you want it on a particular lot size?
I don't have that fireplace so I will just put another one in and then you can replace it.

EDIT: I just noticed you had said which lot you want it built on.

Sorry to double post.

Here is the finished exterior and yard, Makeupinternet:






(I know you didn't specify whether you wanted a garage or not, but the house ended up being rather large inside, so I used some of it up for a garage. It has two parking stalls, 4 bike racks, and I am going to put some exercise equipment in there also.)




You said you play large families, so I put in a water slide, and a playground for the kids.

Getting started on the inside now. Let me know if you would like me to change or add anything on the outside.

EDIT: Done! It's on the swap shop here. Hope you like it!

Hello, all, I'm hoping someone could help me out here since my building skills are apparently hopeless.

I want to build a craftsman-style log cabin -- this one:  http://www.precisioncraft.com/loghomeplans/Craftsman/Clearwater.html

My problem is the "unfinished room" moodlet when I build any sort of loft-type cabin.  I'm hoping someone has figured out a way around that!

I'm looking for the house to be built on 4 Beryl Ct. in Hidden Springs -- it's a 30x40 lot, and I'd like it to face the long side of the lot and snuggle up a bit to the water's edge.  Oh, and I have all EPs/stuff packs and a whole lot of cabin/craftsman style stuff from the store, so don't worry about items.

Thank you so much for your consideration!

Sorry for the Triple Posting!!! 

I spent a good couple of hours trying to figure out how to build this house for you, Cedia. Sadly it is just NOT working. I can't get the roof to look even close to how it is in the pictures. I'm sorry, hopefully one of our other excellent builders can help you out!

[JudesSims]

I couldn't do it either, fortheloveofcake. Thankfully, I can still use the house that I tried it on myself when the Sargeants move to Hidden Springs I don't think it turned out too badly even without the a line roof.

[Cedia]

Thank you both so much for trying!  It makes me feel just a bit better to know that I'm not completely retarded with the building tools. 

Still, Jude's floorplan looks great and I'll most likely end up using that. 

[fortheloveofcake]

EA's roof tools are much better than the used to be, but still FAR from perfect.

Thank you! I don't feel so bad now.

REQUEST 1

A fairy starter with a large fenced garden - no need for the actual plants, since the idea is to have the fairy plant then -, kitchen, bathroom and a small bedroom if a sim sleeps over. A 20x30 lot would be great.

No store content, easy on the EPs, except SN, obviously.

Thanks in advance.

[m.sato]

REQUEST 2 - The Return:

A fairy "middler", 2 bathrooms, 2 bedrooms, nursery, kitchen and, of course, a large fenced garden.

Max 40x40 lot and $ 100k.

No store content, easy on the EPs, except SN, obviously.

Thanks in advance.

[m.sato]

REQUEST 3 - The Final (?) Chapter:

A fairy garden (community lot) with that fairy dome to be put on other towns, preferably a small lot.

If there's an actual garden (you know, with plants) would be great! Perhaps a shower too.

No store content, easy on the EPs, except SN, obviously.

Thanks at last.

Would anyone mind if I attempt to build this house? I'm not sure I'll manage but it seems like a challenge and I'd love to try. Cedia, I unfortunately don't have Hidden Springs, but I'll build on a 30 x 40 lot for you. Then it's just a case of trying to figure out how to upload it if I manage to get it right. (I don't have internet on my Sims laptop).

[Cedia]

Go for it, Rhapsody!  Two sets of eyes are better than one, and ten are better than two!

The bugbear seems to be the way the second-story deck fits into the A-line roof.

And I specified the lot in Hidden Springs so folks could see what kind of landscaping to add.  As long as it's situated on in the right side of a 40x30 lot (longways) that would work for me.  That way it would be close to the lakeside in Hidden Springs.

I would also like to give this a try. Could you tell me what the river rock fireplace is? I probably have it but I don't if it comes from an EP/SP or the Store. The house is amazing, by the way!

I'd love to do this one too! So, Supernatural content only? And what town?

I suggest you take a look at some of the entries on our most recent bulding contest, Fairy Forest as some entries would suit you needs.
