Build-n-Share #186 **MyHome!** Due 30th November, 2024
[b]Welcome to BNS 185: Let's Play[/b] BNS186 MyHome As you walk into your office that morning, your eyes are immediately drawn to the colorful envelope at the center of your desk. You pick it up; it’s addressed to you from a town you’ve never heard of and has the most darling postage you’ve seen in a long time. Curiosity piqued, you tear it open and pull out its contents, reading the first page—a letter penned to you—carefully: Greetings fellow builder, I’m reaching out to you on behalf of my town. Recently, we’ve had an influx of guests staying indefinitely at our hotel, hoping to move in. Now, I may be a whiz with Essence, but I can’t make plots appear out of thin air. We’re running out of room and I’m falling behind on my orders, so I was hoping that I could outsource some of the work to you. I wouldn’t normally ask for a stranger’s help on a project I hold dear, but these sims need homes and I’ve heard that you’re amazing at building them. I’m sure that the second they lay eyes on what you’ve built, they’ll be packing their bags and taking the first train out of here towards their new home. I’ve included the housing request of one of our guests for your consideration. You will of course receive the full commission if you agree to helping us out, as well as an open invite to visit me sometime at my workshop. I’d love to swap stories and Essences with you. Hope to hear from you soon, The Builder You’re not sure what “Essences” are, but as you flip the page and begin reading the guest’s request, you have to admit that the mysterious Builder has your attention. After all, every sim deserves a home. You set the letter aside, sit at your desk, and begin drafting. The Brief: -$140,000 budget (no lot cost; the mysterious Builder’s mayor is compensating for the lack of housing space in her town by paying for the lot) -Choose a MySim from the MySims franchise and create a home for them. Their home must have the following: -1 bedroom -1 bathroom -Living space (living room, kitchen, dining; can be separate rooms or all together) -A hobby room tailored to the MySim (for example, DJ Candy would likely enjoy a party room, and Dr. F might like a laboratory for his experiments) -Feel free to get creative; in MySims, many characters use their houses as community spaces, so you’re welcome to treat the hobby room as a “home business” if you’d like. The Sim Challenge: -Recreate a MySim of your choice. -Appearance must be loosely based on the original design, but outfits, likes and dislikes, and traits may be openly interpreted. The Room Challenge: -Create the hobby room. -Budget is $30,000. Remember to include the hashtag #bns186 with your build or it will not be judged!

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.)

Coastal Roads - My New Sims 3 World!
The second beta is out. I announced the first one over on my Tumblr. I also made a separate post talking about the pride flag crosswalks I created for the world. This screenshot is of the first version of the world, but for the most part, its very similar to how it looks now. It is missing the lots that CJplays will create, that assuming nothing goes wrong will be included in the final version of the map The map requires every single expansion pack and stuff pack with the exception of Katy Perry Sweet Treats as that is is the only pack I do not own. In addition it uses the following free store objects No Tricks, Just Treats More Halloween Treats More Holiday Presents Weba Yayfoo Modern HDTV by Webbsta Industries Honeycomb Bookshelf ( I'm having trouble finding this one in the store for some reason. Hope its still available ) Let there be Sims! You can download the second version along with the first official saved game file for the world. When the final version is released, the map and the saved game file will be a separate download, but for now you will have to download them together. Please make sure you playtest the map using the saved game file. The current version of Coastal Roads will have to be installed for it to work. Make sure you delete the previous version if you had it installed on your computer I am also creating some extra lots that you will be able to download separately when the final version of the map is released, that use some premium store content. Now that that's over with, here are some additional, more up to date screenshots of what the world currently looks like. Most of the sims in the pictures below are ones that I created, but a few of them are NPC townies. You will need to load the saved game file, in order to encounter them. There will not be any graveyard ghosts in the saved game file, until the final version of the map. So what do you guys think so far? Please let me know if there is anything you like or dislike about the world and if there is anything that could be improved upon. Also, please let me know what you think of my sims

I pay a lot of attention to the interior design and the details, but also try to make the build player friendly. I hope you will have fun using them in your game, or just browsing the pictures here. No custom content, no mods. I also create no-cc sims with all outfits. My name on the gallery:#imoger Comments and favs are welcome and much appreciated here and/or on the gallery. I share pictures on my old blog, you can find all my sims3-4 creations there too:http://imoger-sims.blogspot.com/ some of them showcased on tublr: https://imoger-sims.tumblr.com/ (Still need to fix the sims' pictures on this forum, but all the build ones should work now - except the old spoilers and WIP-ones.)

Suburban Chic Summer Breeze MODERN ZEN GARDEN Summer Garden BAMBOO VALLEY COZY CONTAINER COMBO with using COZY STARTER APARTMENT~*~ Ackney-upon-Sherne Showcase - Our English Village Creators' Collaboration ~*~
We're really excited to begin sharing with you our project to build an English country village. It started with simply an interest in creating some pretty ivy covered cottages and grew into something a bit more involved. Our village is imaginary but is largely inspired by the Cotswolds and its pretty honey gold stone. Ackney-upon-Sherne exists in current times but has rich historical roots. Its origins date back to the Saxons, who settled on the central island, and includes a Norman castle ruin on the nearby hilltop. The name for the village originates from the Saxon language and means basically oak island on the shining river. Ack = oak and Sherne (what we decided to name the river) = shining. We have a little side area that's a bit different, too - more on that below in this first post where we talk about map areas. https://i.imgur.com/D5QWKse.jpg?6 The World We wanted to find an already existing world that would fit an English landscape and in looking about realized that Riverview would do quite nicely for our project with a little tweaking. That "little tweaking" became a lot more involved and complicated than we anticipated, and we are very grateful to @Hidehi for hanging in there to make it come about. Thank you, Hidehi! The empty world by Hidehi is available for download here: On MediaFire: https://www.mediafire.com/file/x95a05ctl18wsxh/Ackney-upon-Sherne.Sims3Pack/file On the Exchange: https://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=9478955 - More about it on the forum here (The world does use some things - like trees, streetlights - from various expansions.) Our Builds We'll all be uploading our completed lots separately to our studios for you to download, with a post about them here. Once everything is complete, the plan is to also offer a save file with the lots in place (plus a few households) that can be used in conjunction with the empty world. Content used: Almost everything! Since this is a creators' collab, we wanted to make it as flexible and fun as possible for our builders to create the impressions they sought to make (within the theme, of course). There is NO CC used, but all expansions, stuff packs (including Sweet Treats) and store content were allowed, except for the following: No expansion preorder sets, no Katy Perry content from Showtime, and no promotional items (e.g., Dr. Pepper, T-Mobile). The primary reason for the exclusions are that the person who will upload the eventual save file (suzses) does not own them and cannot obtain them at this point. Map Areas We've divided the world up into 10 maps, basically what would fit into a screenshot. Each map appears below in one of the following posts and will include under it a listing of our builds. Map 5 is the central island, where the village first began, and the area where we will begin our uploads this week. Maps 1-8 are all parts of the Cotswolds village - some older areas, some newer. Maps 9 and 10 are a little different and based on the Lake District with a little Beatrix Potter thrown in. While the Cotswolds and Lake District aren't right next door to each other in the real world, they are here in Ackney-upon-Sherne. ;) If you think you would like to contribute something to our project, please contact suzses privately by PM here on the forum, and we'll let you know what we have planned. We will only be discussing our completed builds here in the showcase thread. Please do feel free to chat with us and ask questions about our builds. :)
