Polrbear's Sims 3 Builds

Sounds like a great project. Very lovely builds @polrbear . Well done! ??

Also, I realised images embedded on this forum don't show up very clearly for me unless I change my browser's zoom to 110%. At 100% the quality is not as good because it's like the image is squished... The real quality of the images shows at 110%...

Can others perhaps test this theory on their browsers as well? Am I correct for more than just my computer? I tried on google chrome and microsoft edge, and both needed to be zoomed to 110% for full image quality...

I am in AWE of your skill. I wish I could build as well as you. These are amazing. Thank you for sharing your creativity!


ETA: Congrats on being mentioned in the Highlight thread!

@MamaSimTee Thank you so much for your comment, and I'll be honest, if it weren't for you I may not have even noticed I was mentioned in the highlights, :lol: for some reason the forum never notified me, so thank you very much for letting me know! :smile:

One of the features of build 15:

Build 17 has a really interesting look outside, but the inside is where it really shines:

Basement rooms, of course the pink was my favorite!: :heart:

I finally finished the town I was setting up for myself, and starting to play in it has been a dream. All my own builds, my own custom apartments, and my own custom community lots in the world, all my favorite sims hand picked to live there... I'm loving it so much!

I am currently playing a fairy and her plantsim daughter, and while the daughter goes to High School, I have her mother playing in the private investigator track, which I've played before but never reached the top of if I'm remembering correctly. This is a fun profession to play in my custom world because she gets to go out and interact with all my other sims I placed in the world! While she was out working, I got this beautiful sunset screenshot of my 5th build:

My 20th build was based off of a real estate listing I saw online for a house in Arizona, so it's my first house I've ever recreated that I didn't see in New England lol! It's the home I'm currently playing the fairy and her daughter in, because I fell in love with the build :smiley:

I loved doing the interior! I was inspired by the pictures of the inside of the listing, but I did take a bit of creative license too. I loved making the high wall and windows of the dining area, and the lower ceiling for the sitting area and I thought the ceiling fan fit the part and was cute there:

Another view of the sitting area that I love so much, and of course I'm always making that nectar-cabinet taste-able!

A view of Build 18 which was based on another house nearby, a New England home with detached garage:

Winter has come to town so I got some winter shots of build #20:

I recreated a garden center from my town, and I love it so much. It's got so many parts that I had to separate it into five lots, one of which is also a private residence to look like the person who owns the garden center lives in it.

This is one of the lots, which has the big barn and a little wreath shop:

The entire garden center is set up so that all the lots are seasonal, and while I didn't have my sims visit it during the Autumn (which I regret, because I wish I could show you how it looks then!), Winter has come to the town and I got the most beautiful shots of two of the lots.

But inside, it is cozy and warm, with my teenage plantsim visiting and running into the girl who just called and asked her to prom a few hours ago. She agreed, so they go to prom together in 3 days!

I started posting some 4 to 3 conversions to tumblr for download, and I started with only a drop in the bucket of what I've converted... A Beauty Decor set, but I have another one almost done with Athletic/Workout decor items. I also have so many past conversions to share while I work on converting stuff from Pastel Pop. I thought I would post about it in my build thread since I interior design all my builds and tend to use the Sims 4 conversions!-

Preview of what I posted on tumblr:

These are beautiful. Are any of them available to download? I'm from New England and they remind me of home.

I'm excited that you liked them enough to ask! :heart: As of now, none of my builds are available for download...but maybe that could change someday.
