**TS3* Build-n-Share Challenge #236 **Empty Nest** **Due 31st March 2021**
https://i.imgur.com/nrMxwDI.png https://i.imgur.com/qkXexiw.png WELCOME to BuildnShare! Originally started by @addict1220, this challenge has been running strong since June of 2009. For those new to the challenge, you may want to read the information in the second post to see more information about Build-n-Share. <3 , Your BnS Hosts https://i.imgur.com/bj1Z3cS.png You have just sat back down behind your desk opposite the elderly couple when the man speaks. “We heard how you helped our friends when their homes flooded, and hope you can help us too,” Robin Nestlehut begins. “I would love to help. Tell me what I can do for you,” you request, imagining that they must have lost their home in a similar natural disaster. “It’s nothing like you must be thinking, please forgive us,” Robin’s wife, Wren, speaks up. “We have a big old farmhouse and a large farm to go with it.” “Unfortunately, we can’t keep it up ourselves anymore and none of our children are interested in coming home to take it over, so we have to sell.” Robin looks away wistfully for a moment, then seems to brighten. “But we’ve decided to use the opportunity to downsize. We would like a small house with a small yard, which will be easier for us to care for.” “Two bedrooms would be nice, one could serve as both a guest room and a hobby room,” Wren adds. “We’ll need two bathrooms as well.” “Our favorite room in the farmhouse was the sunroom, so we would prefer a sunroom in the new house,” Robin requests. “I think we can work with that. I hope you love your new home just as much as your old one,” you say. The Brief: *Budget: 35,000 The house needs: *At least 2 beds and 2 baths *One room must double as a guest room and hobby room. *A sunroom *The usual kitchen, living and dining areas. Sims Challenge: Create Robin and Wren Nestlehut and show them enjoying their new home. Be sure to show all of their outfits in the slideshow. The deadline for this challenge is Wednesday, March 31, 2021, no later than 23:59:59 New York Time/EST https://i.imgur.com/TvmoeFJ.png https://i.imgur.com/3gHHX7s.png https://i.imgur.com/0NNKW7o.png OFFICIAL ENTRY FORM #236 Empty Nest NAME: your forum id LINK TO LOT: LINK TO MEDIA: your entry will be judged on your pictures OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: if you entered the optional challenge, include a link here LEVEL: beginner, intermediate, or advanced LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: tell us about your build, include any details and rationale that might not be obvious from your pictures CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: "yes" if you'd like suggestions for improvement, "no" if you'd like only positive feedback CREDIT TO SIMMERS FOR CUSTOM CONTENT USED: TWITTER TAG: (entirely optional but makes it easier for us to tag you) FACEBOOK PROFILE: (entirely optional but makes it easier for us to tag you) TUMBLR LINK: (entirely optional but makes it easier for us to tag you) SPACE FOR PICTURES: (limit 2) A reminder to use the entry form as is.

Guide to Houseboats in game & in CAW
Houseboats! They're awesome, versatile, and totally fun... but they can also be tricky, especially when adding one to a world other than Isla Paradiso. Thankfully you've come to the right place. This guide will answer every question you ever had regarding houseboats (and many that you didn't!), inform you as to what you can actually do with them (nearly everything!), and take you through a step by step tutorial explaining how to build one in Edit Town or in Create a World. Your feedback is welcome and encouraged! If you have questions please ask, and if you see any inaccurate information please let me know so I can fix it. This guide is split into easy to follow sections: • FAQ – All questions regarding Houseboats answered. • Edit Town Tutorial – How to add a houseboat to a world using the in-game editing tools. • CAW Tutorial - How to build a custom world with the Create a World tool that has houseboats. This guide is currently a work in progress. Remaining work to be done includes (but is not limted to): • Organize the FAQ section so that the questions aren't all in a random order. Fan sites: Feel free to share this guide with readers of your website. I'll ask that you please link back to this thread as I'll continue to update it with more information and accurate answers. Disclaimer: This guide will give you info on just about everything you need to know regarding houseboats, but it doesn’t 100% cover every possible situation you can encounter in-game. I’ll continue to update the thread if any other important questions need to be answered, or if any information is discovered to be inaccurate.

♥♥ ~ SANDRAELLE'S SHOWCASE ~ ♥♥
Welcome to my Showcase Thread, and thanks for visiting! A little bit about me: I'm not really a game player but I do LOVE to build and have been creating since Sims 2 came out. I mostly built for myself (back in the day), then started joining building contests and challenges in the old Sims 3 community forums, which then led to me becoming a member of the DNA request team and started creating for others for six years. I have been participating in several world collaborations most recently and it's been a lot of fun. I've learned a lot about building in these past 10-12 years and have improved quite a bit since those early days. I'm a stickler for details and aim for realistic interiors in my creations. Most of my builds contain store content, but are CC free and I always upgrade all the plumping/electronics. To visit my Sims 3 Studio, click here. To download FREE items from the store,click here. UPDATE August 2024: This thread has totally been reconstructed using posts from my showcase thread in the old Sims 3 community forum. Custom World Collaborations I've participated in (More information about these community projects can be found by clicking on the links below.)

Hi everyone, welcome to my showcase thread! I started playing since the original Sims, love building in Sims 3 the most and am happy to see others still enjoying this version as well. It’s been heartwarming and inspirational to be an active part of the Sims community individually and as a member of the DNA request team. In the past several years it’s also been my pleasure to initiate / host / participate in several Sims 3 world build collaborations. No 3rd party custom content is used in my creations and they are play-tested and Custard checked before uploading. An aspect I really love is creating unique and themed builds, especially those that involve using CFE. The builds in my SIMS 3 STUDIO also include a wide range of architectural styles and blends. I do hope you enjoy my sharing as much as I enjoy building.

So, you’re interested in lots that change throughout the year with the seasons? Well, you’ve come to the right place! This thread has everything you need to understand how these lots work, and even includes a step by step tutorial that will teach you how to build a lot of your own that changes over time. Before we begin though, please be aware that this is a guide intended for advanced builders. You will be using debug objects that were created for use by the development team to build these special lots. The method of using them isn’t particularly user friendly. If you aren’t already comfortable with using many different features of Build/Buy Mode you may want to consider just enjoying other people’s creations from the exchange. …still here? Great! If I didn’t scare you off with that warning, you’re ready to get started. Here's the best tip you'll get in this guide: save early and save often when creating your seasonal lots. If you accidentally change anything you didn't intend to, you can simply go back to an earlier version. I would also encourage you to read everything in this guide before doing any serious building of your own; there is a lot of important information that you should know. This guide is split into four handy sections: • FAQ – All questions regarding the Seasonal Lot Marker answered. • Build/Buy List – Which objects and tools can and can’t change with the seasons. • Tutorial - A step by step guide to building a lot that changes with the seasons. • Official EA Festivals - A list of festival lots officially released by EA that are available to download for free from The Exchange. Disclaimer: This guide will give you info on just about everything you need to know regarding the Seasonal Lot Marker, but it doesn’t 100% cover every possible situation you can encounter in-game. I’ll continue to update the thread if any other important questions need to be answered, or if any information is discovered to be inaccurate.Disney Magic Kingdom Community Collaboration! * COMPLETED

"Sandraelle;c-18263370" wrote: https://i.imgur.com/hvzuyE9.jpg Hello everyone! We figure that most people will probably want to pick and choose what lots they'd like to add to their Magic Kingdom World, but if you'd like a world with all the lots, I have created a world save with all the lots for you. It's missing two lots (see my note below). Depending on your computer specs, you may experience game crashes with a fully outfitted world. But if you have a powerful computer (I do not, lol), our hope is that it will run smoothly. Another option to minimize the size, is to split up the world into two world saves by having two copies and editing each world to your liking. Or if you have a mod, you may be able to make them vacation worlds, however, I'm not sure exactly how to do that. :# Just click on this zip file link to download the folder and place it in your "Electronic Arts/Sims 3/Saves" folder before launching your game. VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't already have the empty base Disney Magic Kingdom world downloaded and installed on your computer, you will need to do that first before loading up your game with my world save, otherwise it won't load the save. You can find the link to the world on page 1. :) :) :) Happy simming!!!! Note: Since I don't own Midnight Hollow's Golden Ticket Toy Shop, I wasn't able to place two of the lots. Here are the links for those two builds so you can add them in yourself.

Experience the magic of Disney as we invite you to collaborate in showcasing the talent within the Sims 3 community! Our launch on Oct 1/21 coincided with the official start of the Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary celebrations. This project began several months ago when sparky1922 expressed her hope to me soocoolsim of having a playable Disney world. This idea grew as the talented @Hidehi worked with my input and the official Disney map to create the Magic Kingdom world base. I think you'll agree that Hidehi did an awesome job, and we're hoping for your feedback as lots are added to ensure that world routing, etc works as intended. With the addition of Sandraelle and romagi1 to the planning team, this community collaboration to create the Magic Kingdom is now open for your participation! Apr 3/23 - EDIT! All lots have been claimed or accounted for so the rest of this post is no longer valid. Thanks to everyone who participated. Your submissions have brought this world ‘to life’. Thanks also to our supporters for your comments, likes and downloads. We have had a blast and hope you enjoyed being with us on this journey. Stay tuned for the grand finale to celebrate completion of this amazing project! So now onto the fine print! Here's a chance to express your creativity with choices from a wide range of building styles. The rules are pretty simple: CLAIMING GUIDELINES Take a look at the list of lots available using either the forum posts or online spreadsheet as reference. Indicate you're on board for the collab and sign up for your first claim by posting on this thread with your chosen lot and map reference #s. I will update the list with your claim (as well as the download / media links when completed). Every two weeks (approx the 1st and 15th of the month) a new sign-up period will begin. You may claim a new lot during each sign-up period after your build is completed - as long as you don't have more than two builds underway at a time. BUILDING GUIDELINES Map areas: The following posts list the world lots along with reference maps and a short description about each area. You can also view everything consolidated in the spreadsheet linked below. Thanks to Sandraelle for creating the reference maps. Optional! View the on-line Sims 3 Magic Kingdom spreadsheet (Lots on tab 1. Maps on tab 2): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cqRP4cJ8gBpwAkDmSD5UQ36V2atAw5QCFsSyOK4wxPI/edit#gid=1788133881 Community lots / Disney attractions: The intent is to replicate the exterior of the actual attractions as best as you can. The interior design is more flexible as you see fit for the use of the lot and Sims 3 game play. Please do stay with the overall theme of the area for the decor and include any special lot designation requirements. You can Google pictures of your claimed lot and we've also included some inspiration links below which may be helpful. Residential builds: Again, please stay with the general look and overall theme of the area including your chosen lot. You have creative freedom otherwise. No third-party Custom Content allowed — please Custard Check your lots before uploading to double check. Helpful notes All Expansion Packs OK for use. All Stuff Packs OK for use. All purchasable Store Items OK for use. Free Store items can be used if they can still be downloaded. Post link(s) to your lot download / media when available. You can also include a cover shot.

We would greatly appreciate feedback on any positive experiences or concerns you may experience as the world gets populated. At this stage, we do not plan to provide a completed world. It is up to players to download and populate as desired when builds become available. Once the world is full / almost full we may provide a game save file, but first things first... to create the lots 😀 https://i.imgur.com/e0NAxlX.png Feb 9/22 - New opportunity! This is mainly for those folks who love to decorate but find building daunting. See page 14 for available shells. Now it works! Post your claim on this thread (Map #, Ref #) and download the relevant shell. Decorate as you wish using the following guidelines. In the final lot description, we request you keep the credit to the shell creator. Upload your completed build and circle back here with the link(s) to your file and (optional) screenshots. Residential shell décor guidelines No budget limitations! All EPs, SPs, store items allowed. No 3rd party CC allowed. For the exterior... You can change the colours of the siding, roofing and flooring and move/delete/add windows and doors. Create your own landscaping as you wish including adding/modifying driveways, gardens, etc. For the interior... You have free rein to modify everything! Window, door or wall in the way of your fab design? No worries... just move or delete it. Want to switch a bedroom to a study?
