One room, One week, One theme
http://i.imgur.com/i2li8o5.jpg?1 I thought that I would start a thread where Simmers can post rooms that they create based on a particular theme that is chosen for that week. There will be a theme given for the week, and during that week simmers can post rooms related to that theme. Come to this thread and post pictures of your room! It will not be a contest where there is a winner. The simming community is the winner because we all then have new rooms to download and use in our games/builds ! I just want to encourage everyone to post rooms. Your rooms will all be very warmly welcomed here! It will be interesting to see the different rooms that sims create based on the chosen theme! It will also give us new furnishing and design ideas! More information in the next posts!
☆☆ Sims 4 Quality Control Contest ~ Challenge 74 up due (EST) 9th March ☆☆
https://i.imgur.com/xZrfnEH.png https://i.imgur.com/AYPddEL.png Welcome to my Sims 4 Quality Control Contest, this competition is a builders and designers contest. I love seeing how creative people can be and I have been a part of some wonderful competitions on these forums. I could only dream this competition becomes as popular as them but for now we will see how it goes. My goal with this challenge is to see people improve, I started out having no idea how to build anything but a square box house. I started entering competitions and never dreamed I could build some of the things I have today, though I still have a lot to learn. I see a lot of builds on the gallery that look wonderful on the outside but are lacking on the inside with decor or simply play ability with sims so this competition is all about Quality. There is 3 parts to the Quality Control Contests Quality Control Contest (Bi-weekly/fortnightly) Quality Control Monthly Contest QC Create A Room Contest (Bi-weekly/fortnightly) QC Competiton Guide If you are new to the competitions or thinking about entering I highly suggest checking out the QC Competition Guide, it has tons of helpful information that pretty much explains what we look for in entries.

Building apartments
So I just bought City Living the other day when it was 50% off and have started playing a little bit with it. One thing I was wondering is how do you build your own apartment building? I want to build at least one that has multiple floors so there can be more than 4 apartments in the building of its possible. Mainly I just want to have something I can customize a little like adding a something everyone living in the building can use or go to socialize.Building Tips and Tutorials. Ruthless KK Build Guide Link too .
I have started this thread to provide links to threads that may be helpful to Builders. If anyone has any building and furnishing tips, links or tutorials that they have found to be helpful, it would be great if they posted them on this thread. I will post the links on the second post of this thread.
Build mode on career venues?
Sorry if this has already been asked, I ran a search and couldn't find anything. I was wondering if there is any way to enter build/buy mode on the career venues (i.e. hospital)? There are a few things I'd like to tweak at the hospital, but I can't seem to find anyway to do it. There is a build/buy mode button, however it's grayed out and says I can't use it while my sim is working. Any help is appreciated!
