Hello! Welcome to my Showcase thread - I hope you enjoy looking at my builds and feel free to leave a comment :).You can find me on the Gallery via my EA ID MDianaSanders or by clicking this link. My more recent lots can also be found using #sandersarchitects. All my builds are without CC and I use MOO only sparingly (on decorative items) - my lots and rooms can always be placed without activating the cheat. I do play test when I'm not sure if something's functional. Several of my builds are remakes of homes from older Sims games (mostly Sims 1 and 2) - you may recognise some of your favourite houses :) - all of them adapted to Sims 4 style. Some of my lots/rooms were made for the Build My Dream competition over on the Dutch Sims forums - for those I have made presentations which I'll share because even if you can't read the comments, they still contain a lot of pictures. Let me tell you a bit about this thread, I have set up a few sections in the comments below - every build is only linked to once. I did this because, when I was preparing this thread, I realised I already shared quite a lot and putting in things double will take up a lot of space.I chose a format to display some essential information, like, lot name, with Gallery link, lot size, amount of bedrooms, bathrooms and lot cost, as well as packs used (I abbreviated those). The format used for rooms is similar. I'm not sure if it is going to work, so I may change it in the future (especially as it might be too much when I add more creations). I was having some issues uploading images, so for now I'll use the ones I uploaded on previous occassions and the Gallery images. All Gallery and presentation links have been added.

Special Builds and Community lotsLet's start with my special builds and community lots (I don't have that many yet, so I just put them in here for now). Architects' Office The Headquarters of my SimArchitecture firm - I had one in Sims 2, so I thought it would be fun to make one in Sims 4 as well! I also have an architecture team (which does nothing but populate my build saves and occasionally play test) - I may share pictures of them later.

Special Builds and Community lots

Let's start with my special builds and community lots (I don't have that many yet, so I just put them in here for now).

Architects' Office
The Headquarters of my SimArchitecture firm - I had one in Sims 2, so I thought it would be fun to make one in Sims 4 as well! I also have an architecture team (which does nothing but populate my build saves and occasionally play test) - I may share pictures of them later.

Renovation Challenges
These are homes that can do with some thorough refurbishing - if anyone does renovate them, I'm interested in seeing the result! :)

Renovation Challenge - 50x50; 4 Bed; 3 Bath; 136.414 - actually this is a Sims rendition of the house I live in and yes, it is that run down and cluttered ;)

Neighbourhood Redevelopment Project
One of the things I am working on is rebuilding all neighbourhoods. I didn't get very far yet, I only did about half of Newcrest, but that's what I'll share for now. Eventually I will get to Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Windenburg and let's not forget Magnolia Promenade and Granite Falls (and whatever other worlds we'll get ;)).

I haven't yet thought of appropriate names for all of my neighbourhoods, at this point I'll refer to them by means of their position on the map.

Simblr. I will list the direct links in this post.

TS4 Building Guide - Warehouse (Loft)
TS4 Building Guide - English Garden
More to come! I expect to release one guide approximately every month, for the next year or so.

If anyone gets really excited reading these and starts to build something inspired by it - I'd love to see. Please feel free to post on my wall, PM me or tag me in your own showcase thread if you've built something based on my building guides. :)

It is very nice that you have set up a showcase thread for your builds. :) Your builds are very nice! It is a very nice variety of homes, community lots and rooms that you have designed, built and furnished. The way that you have organised and presented them in the different posts and sections in the thread looks great.
Happy simming and building ! :)

Thanks for commenting Rose and Dan :blush:

I'll just share a few pictures of my latest build (I already shared them in other places before, but it can use some additional promoting ;))

ZenOasis Sports Centre
Gym; 40x30; 182.643; Lots of items from Spa Day, a hot tub from Perfect Patio.

I built this to replace the gym lot in Oasis Springs with something that also had a pool and yoga.

The entrance, very tranquil ;)

Changing rooms (the male version).

Weightlifting area and the hot tub.

Boxing room and treadmill area (there are lots of energized items scattered in the main gym area).

The pool, with additional bathrooms.

The yoga room :)

I did notice that the stereo (not visible in the pictures) behind the treadmills/near the sauna doors dissappears when placing the lot - it's because of an enlarged wall ornament that I was able to place without MOO, but apparently doesn't quite fit. I used the stereo you get from the musician/comedian career, because of it's energized aura (so you'd need to use bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement to put it back in). Other than that, the lot functions fine :) (I have placed it in all my saves and my Sims like going to the gym).

Zen Oasis Sports Centre is a very nice venue for sims to enjoy visiting to keep fit using the fitness equipment, to have fun swimming in the pool, and to enjoy doing yoga on the mats. Very nice exterior design of the building! The layout and furnishing of the interior looks very nice! The various areas of the build look very nice! Very nice indoors pool area! Sims will enjoy swimming in the pool. The lotus flowers are a nice touch on the pool base. Very nice yoga room! The mats look nice how you have placed them in the room. The bamboo items are restful for sims to see when doing yoga there. The eclipse patterns and wall lights are nice touches on the area walls. The walls of candles look pretty in the venue. The wall textures look very calming and restful. The colour scheme of the venue is very nice. Very nice entrance area to the venue. The bamboo plants and water fountain feature are nice for sims to see when entering the building. Nice hot tub nook for sims to enjoy relaxing in the tub.
It is a very nice venue for sims to enjoy visiting :)
