sadly enough someone already attempted to steal my house not even 2 hours after i uploaded it to the gallery... its getting rediculous..

I have noticed that when someone re-uploads a Sim to the gallery it tags it with an original maker too. (example Uploaded by.., original by...) so if people are uploading your work it should tag you as the original builder.

Great work btw!

My main issue with the gallery is that the favourite system looks like its done by a random bot and only like 1 or 2 are handpicked, i saw so many builds being favourited wondering why is that one being favourited whilst so many amazing builders upload really good stuff, like there is no quality control, once in a while you have the gem of a castle but most of the time theres allways 2 or 3 completely random things in it ... I do wish this proces was different...

@jol1990 - I want to wish you success in getting a lot favorited by Maxis! We all want recognition and for our work to be presented in the limelight. Please don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen right away. Success isn't an overnight thing for most and only comes after years of hard work. One piece of advice is to sit down and be honest with yourself about your reasons for wanting to build...is it for fun? recognition? challenge? etc. If it is for recognition, don't quit because Maxis doesn't favorite you. You can totally post your stuff on this forum and the community will recognize your work! :smile:

@jol1990 - Elegance and grace! Love your opera house! A fine venue for any "cultured" Sim! Great work!

@Ash072 i still dont know how i managed to finish it in less then 5 hours ... lol im weird

The Franfurt Opera Lounge looks very grand and elegant! :) Very nice exterior of it! You have reflected in simform the real life building so very well! The water fountains features either side of the building look very nice. Very nice roofing! The way you have used the arches in the build looks very nice! Very nice type of and way you have placed the windows in the build. The curved porches on either side of the front area of the build look very nice! The red carpet patterning in the middle front entry area looks nice. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the building! The platformed music and comedy routine stage area looks great! The blue curtains there looks nice. It looks very nice how you have placed the comfortable blue armchairs both on the ground level and up the raised steps and also on the balcony area for sims to enjoy sitting resting and watching the performances.The wall paneling that you have used looks very nice. Very nice balcony areas! Nice indoors red sofas sitting areas on the balconies. Sims will enjoy sitting relaxing on the seats there. It looks very nice how you have set the red tables and chairs on the outdoors balcony areas. It looks great how you have used the arches there. Sims will enjoy sitting at the tables in the outdoors air. Very nice curved counter front desk. It looks great how you have placed computers there for sims to use. Sims will enjoy having a drink from the bar and listening to music from the juke box whilst sitting on the bar stools enjoying their drink. The piano keys picture looks nice on the wall. The red carpet flooring in the build looks very nice! Very nice types of lights that you have used through the build which suit well the theme of the venue.
It is a very nice venue! :)

Oh wow! Your opera house is stunning!! Beautiful work!!
As for the EA/maxis favorite thing. I know how you feel! I have yet to get any attention on any of my builds from them, but hey... oh well. I have come to an understanding with myself, that this is something I do as a personal thing. I love to build (about 90% of my time in game is spent building), and I might as well share them so others can utilize them. :D

@Tiki5872 - That's a great attitude to have!

@Tiki5872 yeah they seem to favour a roman villa with only a bed in it and a house in the shape of a cat lol xD they even vavourited the rainbow park wich was uploaded thesame time as my theme park, there was alot more creativity and orignality in my theme park then in that rainbow one but you know; their logic seems to be the more weird it is the more chance on favouriting, and the more realistic it is the less chance. But in all fairness, the fact that these builds arent good does reflect in their download numbers. for instance, my finished builds that i worked ages on they favourited at one point all have 1000 plus download with the 2 exeptions that have 10000 plus downloads. the ones where you scratch your head even struggle to get close to a thousand.. =p
I am not angry but dissapointed when i see the my stuff ignored again even after sharing it on twitter and getting responses, whilst they favourite the things that would only take you half an hour to make and arent really worth it. It wont stop me from building though, one day theyll have to notice my stuff; if i give up building now, my followers wont have new stuff and ill loose my creative outlet; and im not going to let the whole issue ruin that =p I know you make amazing builds and like someone else on the forum said, on this forum you will get the recognision for your builds. I do hope maxis does favourite you at least once though; all good builders deserve at least 1 favourited upload.
