Notre Dame de Paris (completed)

3 years ago I joined this forum hoping to share my creations from the Sims 3, but with the limitations of being a new member, I could not do much. That further discouraged me to post anything at all. It took three long years for me to get to this point, with that said, I am super excited to finally be able to show you some of my works. First off is the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. I've always been drawn to cathedrals. They always leave me in awe as I look at these massive works of art that, sometimes, took more than 1 lifetime to complete, all in the name of faith.
I couldn't have an easier time replicating this medieval gothic cathedral without the help of other creators for the custom contents. So I would like to thank them collectively, because it would take me ages to list them all.

Lastly, i have never uploaded any of my builds, as I don't quite know how to. If someone could point me to the right direction, and especially how to upload lots with cc's intact so they remain faithful to the vision that I had, it would be a great help.

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures. I would appreciate any honest feedback.

@Pary, I knew I had seen a Sim recreation of the cathedral here and yesterday I did a search and found it. Some of my life long passions are art and history. Yesterday's fire hurt my heart. It's wonderful to see people pledging millions to rebuild this treasure for Paris and the world.

As someone who lives in South Africa, I was fortunate enough to see this beautiful building a few years ago - All that history lost now =(

Thank you for so much reviving this thread @PHOEBESMOM601 . I missed it when it was first posted, but it is such a beautiful tribute, appreciated now more than ever.

And @stefanistic thank you for sharing your amazing build! I thought I I was looking at real life pictures for a moment, before my eyes adjusted. You've captured not only the details of the architecture, but also the feeling of majesty and serenity.

@stefanistic : Did you ever manage to export it or to save it as a .package file the way @Pary suggested? I would really love to download this; it looks absolutely gorgeous!

Recommendations for exporting if you're still problems:

Open IE (even if you never use it as your browser) and clear the cache files and internet history files. If you never use it at all, then have it clear everything including cookies. Even though YOU might not use IE, the launcher does, and sometimes it can inadvertently corrupt something in the cache, which will cause various problems.
Try exporting it different ways. Some people have better luck exporting it while in Edit Town mode, and others have better luck exporting it after it has been saved to your library. Try both ways.
Remove your Mods folder and try exporting it again. Any CC that's from your mods folder wouldn't get included in the upload, but something in that folder can be blocking an export.
Remove all files from your Downloads, Exports, screenshots, and videos folders. Move them to another set of folders so you'll still have them.

Can't think of anything else to suggest, but I know there are more things to try. :)
