@astridentanja we'd love some help-this is a huge job and sharing it between simmers will be really helpful :)
If anyone wants to volunteer please mention it and everyone please share the thread around your friends too-we want this thread to be inclusive and to shine a light on the love of the sims <3
Let me tell you about building in The Sims 3. This was a huge challenge for me-I've never been a builder but I was determined to give it my best shot! :)
I had Bons ts2 photos on my iPad and worked from those-trying to figure out sizing and design by counting where floor tiles would be in my mind! We all know build/ buy mode by now so it was easier than I'd thought!
I built the foundation first. I really struggled making the diagonal foundations! I then started adding the walls on the bottom floor, dividing into the rooms made it easier.
Then I realised I'd made a huge mistake! I'd built the whole thing backwards with the back of the house facing the street. Oops! But then I had an idea. Continue building, come out and save the lot then bulldoze and place it again, moving the house round! Saved my project <3
I carried on building. Once the foundation and bottom floor was done it was easier-I placed the windows and doors really easily. I couldn't find a outside texture that looked Tudor like the first two so I used cast to make it look like the others-so much easier having that option! :)
I really enjoy decorating sims houses. I was a big fan of professions in ts3-especially the interior designer career so this part was easy for me :) I love the textures and freedom ts3 allows-it's almost limitless the looks and creativity that offers and as someone who is very creative in my real life hobbies I really appreciate it :)
I've never taken photos until recently in ts3-how I love it now I know how! It's given me a new appreciation of my sims getting on their level with tab and seeing the expressions on their faces <3
I really love the pool is ts4. The water looks great and I just had to share a diving photo because I thought it was fab!
And ofc as it was me I had to share a family with a toddler as my sims ;)
I hope you enjoyed the story :) we will continue to share our experiences and stories throughout the thread as you share yours :smiley:
