I was just about to add this house to my post in the other thread. :P

This is my newest sim Amora's house.

Beautiful Coltraz :thumb:...Plastic Barbie, that is one cute and shabby pad ;)....Those two are really beautiful....Great Job:!:

[Krõõt.]

Coltraz - I really like your house.

And this is my made house, didn't turn out really as I wanted but I can't say that I don't like it. :

The landscaping in this house has become* a total nightmare. Any suggestions?

(I know the pictures aren't very attractive, but I wanted them to be descriptive.)

I want to put a fence around the whole lot so they have privacy, but none seems to match the theme of the house. I kinda like the tall hedges, but triming them takes too much time and I can't find plastic ones.

I'm tired of the house, but dammit, I want to complete the job!

*(is this correct "it has become a nightmare"? The quality of my english is going downhill lately...)

[babolat85]

PlasticBarbie[/url] Cute house!
[b]Coltraz Is that the house on the 1x1 lot? Looks good.
Kroot I like the tire hanging from the tree.
Nissun Never seen a house like that before, it looks good and unique. Maybe a hedge fence surrounded by steel fencing would work a bit. BTW Windkeeper has plastic shrubbery at the Booty/TSR, or there's Jeffistan for no care plants.

[coltraz]

Thanks Bab & All!
No, this is a different house. The 1x1 lot house is not very unremarkable on the outside, so I didn't bother posting it.
I absolutely LOVE your new house. If it shows up on your site I'll totally download it. It looks very real. I love the drainage pipes/gutters, and the white fence at the end of the driveway. Very pretty.

[andru]

*(is this correct "it has become a nightmare"? The quality of my english is going downhill lately...)

Yes, that is correct. :)

Your house looks really good, I hope you manage to finish it.

[Night Racer]

all day long ive been building houses to use all my nice new shiney things, to build a modern colorfull party house...so id get to building..and once id get the shell done and start furnashing...i noticed the layout is more suited for a whole white/cream/brown luxery home and not a red/yellow/green party home..so i built a new house..and i did this...6 times...
so finaly...i sat ansd thought real hard..and realized that a true modern colorfull party house..is one i used to build all the time!

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i236/fergiefan12/snapshot_00000029_556c60f3.jpg
and i wonderd why those latnern lights dont have strings to hold them to the ceiling..and now i see that they arnt meant for the ceiling...there meant for that tree! (but you can use them however lmao)
(and also...yes..there is no bedroom...and i didnt realize this untill i took those pics...but by that time i was sick of the game so lol)

[coltraz]

Ohh, I like the stone wall cover in the pool, and the stone floor cover! it looks really neat.
Here's a new 1x1 house... nothing special, but...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v80/castrostaal/sims/djjd.jpg

[Nissun_]

Night Racer, I usually forget to put bathrooms, but bedrooms? xD The house looks good, though.
Coltraz, that looks goo too. Building in such small lots is hard but usually the result is worth the effort. I may start working on them again. Decorating big houses is killing me.

Well. I've been working again in the landscaping of that house. I had to get rid of the sci-fi pond full of colourful plants, though, but it was too caotic to unify it with the other parts of the lot.

Two descriptive aerial shots:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_15698dfd_156c35f8.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_15698dfd_956c35ef.jpg

Removing the pond allowed me to fix the fencing problem. Puting walls was something I did usually in my sims 1 minimalist houses, and it works fine here with those black windows. Not closed, not open. They can walk around the garden in their underwear without beign seen by their neighbors xD

About the round roofs... The thing is, I've never used that roofing in my game before. I used it here to make a small spot with those organic forms, like some sort of alien thing to the house, maybe reminiscent of the owner's ancient alien culture.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Viki/Sims/snapshot_15698dfd_d56c3527.jpg

The retro-futuristic feeling outside isn't like what I wanted to achieve, I wanted to create a more googie house. But I quite like how it is now. At least it's playable.

[kustirider2]

Wow, Nissun that is one of the most brilliant houses i have ever seen! good job :D

[kailay_SC]

WOW! :O
Gorgeous houses!
*i'm hopeless at building and decorating! i'm more of a "making sims" kinda person :D )

Try just looking in your Storytelling folder. Go to EA Games, The Sims2, Storytelling.

For some reason if I'm taking pics of houses or unoccupied rooms, the photos get saved there instead of one of the neighborhood folders.

Well, today I started a new neighbourhood, a set of utopic islands. The main idea is to build many flat-roof white modern houses.

Here is the first one. Yeah, I made a dirt neighbourhood. I kinda regret it, but I've decided to try and make it look good. I just wanted something different.

[vicarious70]

nissun:I just love post modern, contemporary homes and I like this house in particular.
Can't wait to see more.

Thats a gorgeous hone Nissun, look forward to seeing the other pics.

This was my attempt at recreating the cohens house from the OC, i was pretty pleased at how it came out.

I really like the look of the buildings in your new 'hood. Having the dirt terrain seems apropriate to me, ever seen a new development going up?! You can always use the terraintype cheat to change it later when you are done/when it starts to blther you too much ;) .

And, so I don't double-post:

This is my poor Hamish's house. I'm micro-managinging him in the extreme to see if I can fit most of the good AND the bad into his little life span. Although it's hard to tell, this is a gradual makeover of the condo-type house to the left of the Calientes in Pleasantview. I really enjoy slowly growing and changing houses over time.

Thank you, shery. Your houses are always so cute. I really like the beach house. Wouldn't mind living there. :)

[GoldenSimmer_SC]

Very nice homes! :]

so i decided to go off and build an "outdoor mall" like Hyde Park down in Tampa.
i used the colors that the community has been using alot when it build new townhouses/community centers here: light yello/orange/green. i think its nice
i might even do a whole community project if i dont get bored with it

so far the interior is empty and wallpaperless/floorless...i got sick of building

[coltraz]

Bab: I love that. The landscaping is wonderful. Is that a shed behind the greenhouse? I really like the grass and the concrete tiles. :D

[babolat85]

coltraz It's actually the back of the garage ;) Although depending on who I move into the lot, it may become an art studio or an extra bedroom.

I got bored, so I decided to build some houses.

Great work everyone!! I'd love to live in all of these house....once I turn 18 that is. :D Great job. And I really like some of the landscaping you've done.

[44 Coffees]

pumpkinsoup: That wee castle of yours is so atmospheric - you're such a gem at capturing a particular mood. I envy you (and I copy you...)

Babolat85: I'm such a huge fan of yours. Your boredom inspires the entire community!

himawar106: Love that cottage. Looks like something out of an American sit-com.

[babolat85]

44_Coffees that actually made me blush. :)
himawara I love the roofline on that house, it's very very cool.

As my plans for tonight fell through, I decided to build a beach house:

that...is so nice. very clever using gravel on the beach instead of sand. i hope you release them soon so i can fill my neighborhood with them :D i suck at beach houses..i have no idea why...but for some reason every time i rtry and build one i hit a utter road block and cant move on........also i heard if you turn move objects on on you can build on the beach/in the water...but it dosnt work for me... i did wanna build a pier...but...:s

shery00: Wow. You're so GOOD. I've been watching you for a while (along with everyone else) and you truly are amazing. You are the master of creating a mood. That last house of yours is incredible. So realistic.

Daisie: Such a sweet little house. I can imagine a bunch of sim-kids playing cops-and-robbers outside while their mum makes hamburgers for tea.

[simsample]

Aww, cute houses! I like them all, you all give me great inspiration!

[longdaysend]

wow! i love it SimSample..i was going to ask if it was playable what with the hills and all or do you get Mexican jumping camera problems? :D just beautiful!

[novemberlove_SC]

A small starter home I created a few minutes ago. It didnt turn out exactly how I wanted, but it's also the first time I tried connecting the garage to the house, so I guess it's ok :err:
http://i35.tinypic.com/2jaksqt.jpg

[longdaysend]

november, it looks pretty good for a first attempt at attached garages..the only thing i would have done was drag the garage roof back further so it attached completely to the homes roof :)

[novemberlove_SC]

Thanks for the advice, I'm horrible at making roofs and it was making me so frustrated that I just left it like that, maybe i'll try to fix it after my headache goes away. haha

[babolat85]

simsample, that house is TEH awesome!
novemberlove that house is cute. I can never get those garages to attach properly. Good work :)

Babolat85 - Wonderful houses. I always enjoy looking at the houses you create...they always look so well planned and realistic.

Simsample - Great house. I have tried several times to build a house on a hill like that, and never succeeded. I've always ended up giving up and bulldozing the lot in frustration.

Thanks guys for the comments. I'll have to rebuild that house before it goes up (un-flat edges, grrrr...) but it'll happen eventually. I'll let you know when it's available. :)

[coltraz]

That looks awesome Bab! you gonna change the lot type when we get AL?? I have a few lots that can't wait to change. hehe

[babolat85]

I probably will. I've got a few lots to rezone once I get it. Alas, this also would mean transporting all the buildings in City College into another sub-hood so normal residents can live there :(

HI! i'm new here so let me introduce myself fist. My name is Fernando Shrewsbury, i'm 19 years old argentine student and i'm... not very fan of Sims2 but i like it very much.

Well , here is some of my buildings. I hope you like it

Great houses everyone!

[Criquette_SC]

Hello everyone! I've been out of here for a long time, so it's great to see you guys again :}
Houses and landscaping pics are in ver.4 allready - that's cool. Great pics as allways... And yes, i have some new stuff to show off.
Last week i had some free time (i meen real one, huh) and decided to recreate a house from great anime "My neighbour Totoro". I've find some pics of it over the net, and.. in the end.. after searching and downloading a bunch of CC an creating my own recolors, floors and walls.. i have this:

http://i33.tinypic.com/24w62dc.jpg

http://i37.tinypic.com/2nl63o7.jpg

http://i33.tinypic.com/qouahj.jpg

So, hope you guys like it. I can't say that i'm satisfied at 100% with this result (there is a lot of issues that i don't like)... So that's why i will continue working on it (current version is 3, huh)... Looks like i need to understand how to create custom 3d models.. or meshes.. I wish i could create fully detailed roof for this house.. oh well :)

[babolat85]

Criquette that house is amazing. I really like how the trees blend with the neighbourhood ones. Very very nice. Also, good to see you back again :)

[gwengirl9105_SC]

[CokeBuilder_SC]

I went through this whole thread last night, I saw some amazing houses! All you guys are sooo creative :blink:

I'll show a picture of my legacy house, partly because it's one of the only well built houses in my game that I haven't uploaded. Usually I'm lazy with my Sims and either download a playable house from MTS2 or make a really crappy one quickly and move them in.

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb104/NeoEpisteme/snapshot_30bf445d_d39e68ac-1.jpg

There's not really any CC on it since I don't want it to lag, just a custom door and walls that I painted. And this was taken in winter so the gardens don't look immaculate, but meh ;)

[Criquette_SC]

Oh, guys.. thanks!
Concerning this house.. If you didn't saw "My neighbour Totoro" anime, go to http://hyuma.splinder.com/post/9441472 to see some pics of the real house, what i was trying to recreate.. huh
and yes.. these pics was enhanced in photoshop.. i've resized, colour corrected and sharpen these pics :) Now i want to realize the way i can create my own roof.. i meen as a custom object.. to make this house even better :)
About uploading well, i'm not sure about this, cause there is alot of dependecies, i used very many custom content.. not sure that some one will download it.. only if i could include all this stuff.. woah.. :)

[CokeBuilder_SC]

I decided to add one more :) This is a house I built for a friend's house website. It's one of my favorites, I love the wood :D

sol i built a house for the ottomans...i plan to overhaul them because they are all epic fail. (hoorah for hacked clothing racks :D) anyway..its got a apartment over the garage for granny which can go to the teen when she dies. ill give it a backyard tommorow and ill post it when i do.

To Kustirider2: Thank you, huh :)

To Shrewsbury333: Oh, thanks! These roofs i've made by myself. And the walls too. I think about sharing this house, so right now i need to replace all the CC content with my own to make it included in the upload, so.. it's also needs some more improvements, so i hope i will able to share it soon :)

To Brilliantcat: Oh, thank you. Whell there is nothing special. Pics look greater than you create a 800x600 picture out of.. 1600x1200 for example :) I also add some blur effects on some areas and add sharping to make pics looks more detailed. Also i add a bit more contrast and colour balance (i add more blue to the shadows, and yellow to the highlights) so... that's all i guess :)

[Shrewsbury333_SC]

Criquette: Gorgeous house as ever - you're creations always amaze me. I've been flicking through your Simtropolis journal and was wondering if you ever released that concrete road texture you made (the one thats not uploaded at MTS2)?

[chowgilly]

Wow Shrewsbury that is absolutely gorgeous! I love the pool part with the fence, i never thought of doing that before.
Do you have any thing to do with architecture for work/college etc?

GoldenSimmer love the modern look!

I shall go in and edit it a bit once AL is out - put in the proper doors etc and some decoration, maybe put a driveway or two in. I felt quite proud, usually I'm rubbish at building but I thought this turned out quite well.

[Stasisesque_SC]

That's amazing, el_flel - it looks like my street. :D

[FlyingKiwi]

Shrewsbury333 - That town lot is amazing, just out of interest, how long did it take you to make that?

[FuryFanFiction]

el_fiel: How were you able to cover the sidewalk? Where the sidewalk splits and the road goes up?

Amazing job by the way!

[Elwood]

If you use the move_objects on cheat, it's possible to put floortiles outside the normal lot. Then you can cover the sidewalk and even the road itself with other tiles. ;)
There are other cheats that allows this too.

[44 Coffees]

Shrewsbury333 - I'm in complete awe of your patience and attention to detail. You've really created a whole world in that lot - and it looks like you've mostly stuck in in-game content. Congratulations. I't amazing.

chowgilly: I really like the clean, entertainment-style feel of those houses. Looks like you have a very 'social' neighbourhood.

el flel: Clever you! There's such a sweet, community atmosphere to the street you've made.

I recently made a small movie theatre. I know nothing of art deco, but I wanted a 'Grim Fandango' look about it. And while I'm quite pleased with the exterior, the interior is giving me a major headache. But it's a start...

Awesome... didn't know that. I knew most of what move_objects can do, but not that!

[ChickenSensei]

44 Coffees, that cinema looks amazing! I can't wait to see the inside. :)

[el_flel]

Awesome... didn't know that. I knew most of what move_objects can do, but not that!
Yeah you can use moveobjects or you can use boolprop locktiles false.

Thanks for the comments, probably the best thing I've ever built lol. I'm really looking forward to AL :D

44 Coffees that is amazing! I am truly humbled!

A fairytale-themed starter home that I'm working on:

http://x34.xanga.com/0a6c66e5d3433201562808/w156297225.jpg

It's actually fully-furnished on the inside and still under $20,000--the exterior just needs a little detail work before I'll be satisfied with it. Also, please ignore the garbage can. :rolleyes:

[babolat85]

jhd nice starter house. It looks great with the dirt track in front.
44_Coffees Love that Art Deco Theatre.
el_flel Looks like it will be a very busy street once you get AL.

This house (especially the landscape around it) is still a Work-in-Progress, but I made this yesterday. Might be adding another room too... my Sims want another child.

I agree! That house is absolutely fantastic, shrewsbury! The roof in particular is amazing.

[Shrewsbury333_SC]

Tanks!, but... why do you call me shrewsberry??, my surname is "shrewsbury".

Hard to spell, i know ;)

Agh, you're right... I was looking at the poster before me when I wrote that... so I copied their spelling without actually looking at your name. :P Sorry about that!

[vicarious70]

Agh, you're right... I was looking at the poster before me when I wrote that... so I copied their spelling without actually looking at your name. :P Sorry about that!





I think that comment was meant for me. I realized I did indeed spell your name incorrect Shrewsbury, so sorry about that. Im usually good at making sure I spell names correctly :D

[jenny]

Thanks you guys!
Actually Babolat, its on a lagoon..so you can't really see the beach very well....its an end lot.....so its pretty cool because the residents have their own private area............:D

[Babbelsim]

Sorry for not being on for some time. Busted my leg and was bed-ridden for almost 2 months :/
Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Medieval Seville Cathedral in 1520.
Because of it mass, there is very little grass for your sims to play on. I know the lot is small for this building--I found that out when I was 3/4 done. But I was so close to finish I figured I could make it fit; and I did--barely.
This former mosque has enough space for a family of six. But the third floor is unfinished and so you can have eight, or download a patch that allows more than the default maximum amount of sims you can have on one lot. (You'll have to locate it yourself, I have never needed this patch so I don't know where it is.)
This price of this structure is rather steep at over 147,000. But those Sims with money on their mind will love it :)

[psivampyr]

My husband felt creative and made this Piggy house in his game. He enjoys doing the out of the ordinary when it comes to building. I thought I'd share the cuteness with all of you. The entire interior is pink and the ears are the pink lip couches. The sim living in the home is Ima Hogge. Its a interesting theme. :) Too bad you can't get pet pigs or pig decorations or it would really be polished off.

I love the pig house!!
You should definately package that up..possible for downloading ***cough

[psivampyr]

Seriously? I'd have to learn the rules of packaging and uploads. I am not sure what CC is in it. Maybe I can talk him into showing the inside- simple layout but sickening pink- I will get back on that once I get him to.

[nala_50]

That pig home is very creative and adorable! I would definitely want it in my game.

[CisteCaise]
