Dwellings, Destinations & Designs - a creation-sharing thread (formerly DDSBA)

Hey everyone :mrgreen: !!

Meg and Xim: Just in case either of you missed me saying it in the other forum, I love both your builds, great job :wink: :thumbup: .

Alright I have finished my latest build, a new laundromat to replace the EA one at 30 Mirabello Road. I call it Starlight Laundromat and Corner Cafe. I hope you all like it.

I finally finished my current project, a log cabin built up by the lake with the waterfall, but it can go anywhere. I have been wanting to try this ever since IP brought us ladders and the all in one bathrooms. And I only had to tear out and remodel half of it one time to get it the way I wanted it! :)

This cabin has no modern conveniences and no electricity. It has candles and kerosene lanterns for light, books and a piano for entertainment, a veggie garden and nearby lake for food. Most of the furniture, like the cabin itself, were hand carved from local timber. And although there is a sink in the kitchen with running water, the 2 stall outhouse is, well, out back! The family that lives here just wants to get away from it all - it helps if they're outdoor loving technophobic gatherers!

It gets even more awesome every time I see it, I love the upstairs area! :D

^ ^ What I was going to say - except my favorite part is the dry cleaning area! I love it!

I'll secon...err, third that! I freakin' love this Brett! Your builds just keep getting better and better! Build more pretty pwease! :wink:

Oh wow :oops: Thank you guys :mrgreen: !! You all are what make it worth the building. Kat and Meg I have to give you both some credit. Kat I designed the Dry Cleaning Area based on the closet I saw you make. And Meg the one thing I liked about EA's lot was how you had changed the parking lot area around from the original ( the original makes no sense) so I incorporated it into my design. So thank you both for sharing your ideas, they help me to design better things :mrgreen: .

Kat: I love your cabin the outside area looks beautiful, and the inside has such a great feel to it.

Jess: Lovely build. I'm definitely a fan of the cherry blossom trees. They're so pretty! :D

Jen: I was actually wondering if you guys would want my High Tower Cathedral lot as a wedding lot. Of course you're all free to use my lots however you'd like. Let me know if you're using some of the older ones. I'll need to play test them to make sure everything works as it should. Nothing too drastic should need to be changed, but I'm pretty sure the spiral staircases in some of the older lots don't work anymore.

I have a build in progress for Trailer Rd E. 1 (20x35)

Here's a sneak peek at the next lot I'm working on, a church/wedding lot. :D

Oh my! Jodi, Jen, those are beautiful builds. I love how every room fits together to create a cohesive overall style so that you can really imagine the lifestyle of the residents.

And, on an altogether different kind of style, another little preview shot of my car dealership lot:

OK, I’ve been working on this for over a month now, and I’m finally able to present my latest build. This is the Stargate Command Military Base. (I tried to move my old facility to the new town and make some changes, but it was totally borked, so I had to start over from scratch. I was really bummed for a while, but now I’m glad it was messed up, because I like this version SO much better, and it is an all-original build!

Oh my... WOW!!! Kat. KAT!!! This is incredible!! This is just so cool and awesome and and and... WOW!!! I've watched a few SG1 episodes, but never really got into them. I think I need to go back and check them out again. Scratch that, I definitely need to go back and watch more of them. Love love LOVE this so much! I will be downloading when I get home tonight, both the base and the household.

110%! A++++++++++++++++++++

First fishing spot! The ocean one, with saltwater fish. I did not add any bathrooms or anything to this one as it is a somewhat narrow lot and they would have detracted. However, it is to be placed right next to the boardwalk and performance park, both of which have bathrooms and eating places. There is not lot in Majix for this yet, you'll have to place a 25x50 at an angle between the boardwalk lot and 5 Water Lily Lane. Meg will add a lot in the next version of Majix.

How to place:


The Old Pier

http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=7677295

"Along the shore there is an old pier faded to the perfect grey and peaceful in the setting sun. The waves lap gently at the sand and the fish bite at any line. The salt spray refreshes the senses and the sound of the surf soothes the soul. Come fish at The Old Pier and let your troubles float away. Includes all saltwater fish spawners."
