Beautiful Buildings--SimsByKate

[MoonsAreBlue]

For those who are interested, I've stumbled upon this website called SimsByKate.com. It is a website full of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. And best of all, they are completely CC free. The user has custom paintings, except it's not really CC. Here's a quote about her paintings: "A note: this lot is entirely CC free. The artwork is sim photography of the lot itself or of my real life artwork. (My real life art was converted into sim art by my friend Dawn and my sim then photographed the sim art to keep it CC free). "

Personally, I think this is a splendid website. She does use a lot of EA store content, though. I downloaded her Wildwood Treetop Village (I got the quote from the description of this home specifically) and it is so beautiful. I definitely recommend people taking a look over on her website. There are lots and lots of pictures for each lot, so you will most likely see what store content she uses that you don't have before you download.

In summary, I saw one home and bookmarked it. Just beautiful.

I'm going to ask Carl to look at this.  It will be his decision whether we allow it on the Forum.  We don't normally link to sites with downloadable lots because we really don't know for sure what's in the content.

The author seems to shy away from using CC. I think it's fine. Every download I checked indicated that "NO CC" was used. If it were, it seems she'd say so Seems to be a good site with nice downloads. Check it out.

Thanks for that link, MoonsAreBlue (and thanks to Carl for allowing her to share it)!  Those are really nice!  Bookmarked!

I wouldn't normally link something like that, but I only shared it because she doesn't use any CC. Oh, and did I mention they're so beautiful?

What a sneaky and ingenious way to get custom artwork without having to resort to 3rd party CC!

I fell in love with the one called Green Tea and downloaded it.  I don't know when I'll have time to play in it, though.

I'm going to have to get in touch with Dawn, then. I know some brilliant artists, and would love to have their art in game. If that's not creating CC. If it is - darn.

My interpretation was that she creates cc, then takes a pic of it in the game and then just uses the pic so that there is no cc. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think her Friend put her Artwork into the Game via Custom Content, then SimsByKate had a Sim photograph it and used the photographs but removed the CC.

I'm in love with Kate's remodel of the Chateau du Landgraab. I think she would be amazing at the building contests if she signed up for the forum!
