Beautiful Buildings--SimsByKate

[bshag]

She's known at the sims 3 forum as KateSterling and I have several of her amazing creations.  One of my favorites is the Kama Simtra, an adult themed exclusive club that's amazing.  She has one oriental house that has several of her art works which are beautiful and one of a kind...one of my favorites.  Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get them in any of my other houses.   She prides herself on using no cc, just store items and things from eps/sps.

Unfortunately I can't figure out how to get them in any of my other houses.    

To use them, move in a Sim in the house that has the art work you want, place it in household inventory or personal inventory (depending on what you want and where it can be placed) and move out. Your Sim should bring that art to wherever you move him/her after that (you can also move out and pack furniture but that will copy all objects in your household inventory).

Hello!  This is my first post on this site.     I had to join your forum after reading all the wonderfully touching comments here.  *blushes deeply*  You all have made me so happy, I think I could cry.  Thank you so very much!  Also, thank you Judy (bshag) for telling me about this site and thread! 

To answer your questions, my lots are indeed CC free.  Yes, the artwork is also CC free.  My friend Dawn made my real life art into CC sim art.  The way I keep it CC free is by having a sim with a high skill level in photography photograph the art. 

Thanks again everyone!  You just made my day!

Hi Kate and Welcome ~ I just visited your site and your homes are just fabulous!  Very clever in reproducing your art work to be CC free!  
Looking forward to adding one of your homes to my town.  Thank you

Thank you Moon for introducing us to her site.

I'm glad you joined us Kate! I fell in love with your lots, and I just had to share them with this community. I'm sure you will enjoy your stay with us. We're pretty nice people.

Welcome to the forum Kate!

To answer your questions, my lots are indeed CC free.  Yes, the artwork is also CC free.  My friend Dawn made my real life art into CC sim art.  The way I keep it CC free is by having a sim with a high skill level in photography photograph the art. 

I think this is a brilliant idea.  It allows you to add something 100% unique to your houses without the inherent issues regarding 3rd party custom content (i.e. having to uninstall it before you patch, and hoping it still works afterward).  Basically, you're adding CC to your lots without adding cc to your lots lol.  It's an ingenious example of "thinking outside of the box."

I applaud your creative work-around!

Welcome, Kate! 

I was just browsing your site last night (and downloading my favorites) and wondering if I could contact you and invite you to come visit our Forum.  I'm so glad to see you here and hope you'll return often.

Welcome to the forum, Kate. Your work is really great and it seems you've found some fans here

[Banksia]

Kate I love love love Karma Simtra.  So do my sims  

Thanks so much.

Some of my sims are also longing for your other houses.  Every time I plonk one down there is a rush to move in.  They are queueing around the block to view the property and then fighting with the real estate agent.  I keep having to kick people out to get the people I want in the houses.  

It's the most excitement Appaloosa Plains has seen in years!

Kate I love your beautiful, amazing, gorgeous houses.  

[KateSterling]

Thank you so much Hosfac, Judy, ZapKid, Pam, Carl, Banksia and VampirePlasma.  I truly appreciate your kind words.
