Hi everyone,
as some of you may know I sometimes message people, mainly novices or intermediates that have been entering for a while but we feel could do with a bit of help improving in the areas that maybe holding them back from winning some challenges or more challenges.
We will be playing around with some shells with decorating and clutter filling, making sure that there are no bare areas and making the most of budgets.
I am happy for anyone else to join in with this not just to learn but to teach also because I know I don't know everything so feel free to follow on and decorate the shells also and post pics.
This is not a challenge its just for us to learn and give tips to each other to improve. So there is no winners or prizes just learning and tips.
The other advantage of joining in is you will get a bit more of an insight into what we look for while judging.

Always save your build to the library, bulldoze the lot and replace your build to see if anything disappears or moves.

TIPS:Get creative, try create out of the box decoration that gives your house personality and different from a normal plain house with the basics.
One thing we find is when using standing plant pots that most of them if placed on the tile the game places it next to a wall more often than not it will be sticking through the wall so hold the CTRL button down on your keyboard and move the item slightly away.
Cheat bb.moveobjects aka moo is great tool for decorating and placing items on shelves, or making things look more creative.
Always PLAY TEST everything, especially if you are using Moo make sure everything that can be used is able to be used. Make sure to double check that nothing is sticking into other things, hold down the Control key on your keyboard to move items away slightly to a better position to prevent this.
When you think you are finished go back and decorate some more lol.
When your finished zoom your camera out and look for bare areas that could be filled, this also means bare walls and overly empty spaces.
You don't have to over decorate but you don't want big empty gaps
Try not to rush as that usually leads to finding placement and play issues.
Always save your build to the library, bulldoze the lot and replace your build to see if anything disappears or moves.
There is nothing more annoying that downloading a beautiful house from the gallery to find that hardly anything can be used.
