Barnacle Bay Creation Sharing Thread
Disclaimer: Barnacle Bay is not required! I have uploaded lots and households on post #2 and you can utilize those to renovate/remake! Plus if you want to get Barnacle Bay, I'd recommend seeing if it...

Okay guys I am wondering whether anyone can offer me some advice, opinions and/or inspiration because I seem to be short of all of those at the moment :?
I am attempting to build a library specially for Barnacle Bay to replace to ******** awful one that comes with the world because lets face it not only is it bland and boring but there isn't much for Sims to do there. I am trying to create a very grand feel to the build with a very luxury setting within, I want this place to be somewhere Sims can come and get lost in a good book, simply socialise with others and/or a place to hone their skills. I want the building to also have a cozy feeling to it so it can be somewhere to go on a stormy night :lol:
I will apologise now for the low quality screens, I play on a Mac and the game won't take screenshots directly I need to take screenshots of the whole screen. The building has three floors, I plan to make the ground floor a place for skill building with rooms for painting, music etc. there will also be toilets on the bottom floor and two private office spaces where Sims can work away without being disturbed. The upper two floors will form the library with parts of the library spanning the two floors, I also plan to have a room dedicated to computers somewhere on the lot possibly on the ground floor. I have decorated a small section of the lot to demonstrate how I want the lot to be like so I plan on using dark woods for the flooring and walls (ignore the ceiling for the moment) and lots of rich colours in the furniture.
Now I need help with the whole design of the building at the moment it seems very dull and uninspired, what do people suggest I do to make it appear more grand. Obviously I haven't done any landscaping or anything like that I want to finish the build before moving onto the aesthetics. In the past I have seen people's creations and they have made some amazing buildings that look very regal and grand, yet I don't seem to be able to re-create that appeal. Help me I beg of you!! ^_^
In these pictures there are some gaps in the ceiling and it is really annoying me because it completely ruins the effect, is this a bug or something? How can I stop it from happening?
Sorry if this post isn't very clear I am quite tired at the moment, basically I am wanting suggestions on how I can improve this library and even examples of luxury libraries others have build as examples if you have any. I am far from a great builder but I really want to make something that I (and anyone else who would be interested) can add to their world :)
