Thanks guys

Ninotchka, that house is wonderful with or without ambition. Upload of course :lovestruc

I believe the ceiling recoloring is a patch thing and not an ambition thing but I can be wrong.

Nivaso, that's a good question. I know that I've tested my lots (stadium and city hall) and sims could easily go there for work or else like in any other lots but it's better to have a countertest so thanks sleepy for checking that

I'm still working on the school outside but in the meanwhile here is the inside shots:















Toyou, I've tried with statues but it seemed way too much for a small town elementary school.

Lana, the inside looks fantastic! Do you have the outside finished? like landscaping etc.

Thanks toyou and nope, still working on the landscaping.

Alright, sounds good, i am going to start working on the interiors of the 3 homes i built the outside of,

But first i am going to upload the two side parks and maybe the mansion, no prices but then i can get the pics and files off my list of things to do.

Aww, Lana, that's so beautiful! :lovestruc I love the in game shots too.

crap, i just found out none of my progress on the mansion got saved! i have to do the third floor and part of the second.....sighs. :/. i think im going to work on one of the other homes...

Is this what you had in mind for a Terrance ?

hey everyone, question, how do you take a picture of an area of our world? i have put lots and trees in the valley area where i had suggested making a neighborhood, and i would like to show it to you, but i dont know A. how to take a pic of it. B: how to label it, i would kinda like to start working on this area, because i would like to build most of the mcmansions in that area. and it will take a lot of time and work!

Tyu.

okay, i have finished the interior of the second middle income home. let me know what you think. (:

Well, I tested the Police Station rabbit hole and it works! Yay!!! I clicked on the buildings and selected "join law enforcement career" and then Dario went from his house, inside the building, down the stairs and into the RH. He came back out, and while he's the only one living there, he's now keeping the place safe, lol. I try to see if the same thing happens with the town hall tomorrow.

Tyu, the movie theater looks very beautiful with the terrace! :lovestruc I really like it. The only thing I would suggest, is maybe putting a fence up that's a little bit bigger.
The new house is very pretty too! I love that tower! One thing I'd like to ask you though... maybe in the small bedroom you could put 2 single beds instead of a double. That way a family with kids can live in it. What do you thing about that?

Oh, and if you want to take area pictures, just move a sim in one of the houses. That will make taking pictures from all the areas very easy. I would suggest making a copy of the town tough, incase something goes wrong.
That valley area is very bumpy though and it might not be easy to build on it yet. The only places that are flat enough are at the end of the 2 roads there.

Rose: thanks! and glad to hear the police station worked as planned! I will change to two double beds, and look at other fences,

Is that how you took pics of the town and port area? i want to take an aerial picture.

Thats where i built, it has around 20 home lots, (: i also added some trees to see how it would look, i personally really like it! (:

Tyu.

Oh and i have a question, let me know if this is illegal, or wrong or whatever,

For the movie screen, the creator has not replyed to me on uploading to mts, can i upload it and give him credit? Or on TS3.com? Or is that......bad?

Tyu, nice work on your house That terrace looks very fancy!

Rose, Tyu is right, try from a different corner and also I found it depends how many tiles you have to fill, if you go one tile too far the entire shape changes, so you just have to experiment including the width of the roof to get the right result. That's how I learn, keep experimenting until it goes right I only found out last week that we could recolour the sides/edges of floor tiles with Ambitions

Lana, that's a fantastic looking school, very authentic- I love the classrooom and the playground I have uploaded the lot in the Completed Buildings thread - thank you

Cooee! Just popping in to say hi! I get back on the 17th i THINK, or the 18th, one of the two I'm building as much as i can but this holiday is prooving to be more active that i had imaged i'll post updates as soon as i get back!! Btw, OMFG :O :O :O the buildings you guys are making are incredible, i can't believe how much everyone has improved, i mean, they're all AMAZING!!! :lovestruc

DD, it's amazing how far we've come, isn't it? Our world is going to look so great!

Ninotchka, thanks so much! It's wonderful how much you can learn from seeing other peoples buildings. Even very obvious things, that you hadn't thought of before. But I didn't think you still had things to learn, because your buildings are among the most beautiful at MTS!

Tyu, yes, I took the areal pictures by moving a sim in. Did you place 20 lots with the world editor? I'm not sure if it's wise to build many things at that place yet. The military base also hase to go somewhere and that thing is huge.

About the theatre screen... illegal might be a big word, but I wouldn't advise you uploading it without permission. Have you checked to see what the creators policies are? Maybe he hasn't replies because of the holidays. I'd suggest you give it a week or so and then pm him again.

Lana, I have a question... You know the patch of land next to the stadium that has no lots yet? Would that be a good place for both the business center and the science center? They might look good together and it will give us an extra free lot in the center of the town. Let me know what you think. I'm also curious to hear your ideas about the valley area, where Tyu want to start building.

Nino: haha, thanks. (: i just learned about those tiles too! haha, now if only i had the want/patience to use it......hah.

DD, thanks. (: this city is turning out fantastic, just how i thought it would. (: hah. Im glad you like the buildings so far, and i look forward to seeing yours!

Rose: i have not taken any pictures or built anything, i was thinking maybe if we could have a rough outline then i could build homes that would fit anywhere in that area, 30X30 lot homes, very easy to move and change around, like the one i posted in social/talk. so i could keep moving fwd. before school starts, does the military base HAVE to go down there? it would really mess my vision for that area up.

I will pm him again about the screen soon, looking at his webpage he is part of TSRAA which basically is a group of creators that you can use all there stuff in your uploads, but i want to upload it on to thesims3.com, if i put his name and credit to it, would that be alright?

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. Still have to get improvements though. DD, enjoy your holidays lucky you, I won't have holidays this year and can't wait to see you coming back with wonderful updates.

Tyu, love your house :lovestruc .The floor plan is great. I would suggest varying the floor and personalize it even more, you know what I mean? Try to make each room its own style.
For the terrace, it's almost what I meant. I thought it'd look better without chairs and door, you know, to make it a real commercial facade? Look less like a house and more like a commercial building?

Also, about building in the valley area, I'm not sure. I read what you guys said fast so maybe i'm misunderstanding what you want to do but have you talked with kiwi about that? He told me that he didn't have time to work on our world right now but I'd prefer that as long as we have other buildings in the already finished area, that we stay there and let more time to kiwi to finish it later, if that's ok with you But we can already discuss of what we want here and see what could fit eventually. Where did you want to place the military base?

And I agree with Sleepy for the TV screen. To me, it's not alright to upload something that's not yours, even if it's under his name. I mean, it's his creation and he should be the one that gets to decide if he wants it there or not.

The path next to the stadium is definitely, where I planned to put the business center and I think that the science center could go there too, yep

Hope I'm clear and i've answered everything

Edit: knew I forgot something :p
Candlelight, I've checked for italian/spanish castle but there's so many. Do you have a favorite style? Sleepy, have you found something?

Lana: i will work on that, i usually leave it neutral so then the player could make a bedroom for any age or gender, but i will make it a little more unique,

i can take the chairs off. (: i just recalled someone saying something about the great view over the town, so i took that as chairs. lol. (:

i will continue to try and get in contact with him. i will also search for him on thesims3.com

For the valley area, i put around 20 lots ranging from 20X30 (1) to 40X40, but most are 30X30. just kind of as a rough draft, we could show kiwi it so he has an idea of what we had in mind, well at least i did, lana, if you look under the social area, there is a home i built, i am planning on uploading it, but its generally what i had in mind for the valley area, about half the homes like that, and half the homes slightly smaller, so middle to high income homes, (: and all the lots i put are almost completely flat, so even if kiwi moved the lot slightly, it would not affect any of the homes, i will post pics.

hey everyone, i took the chairs down and put a double window where the door was, i will upload it when i have approval for the tv.

Im going to start working on furnishing the other middle income home.

Rose: has the map been updated lately? just out of curiosity.
Tyu.

well i downloaded a free sample of photoshop, and came up with this for the valley, i wish i could do a pic from the sky...:/ but this will do. (:



Tyu.

i enjoy this Tyu. But... I'm gonna sound like an ass and say I'd like a 46x46 lot on there its the biggest you can get in the edit world mode. And my new house i put up on the social thread is that big and it goes with the theme :D

it could go on the second road, where the 40X40 is at the end of the road!

Tyu.

Tyu, it was me who suggested the view of the town and the chairs, lol! Sorry about that. Maye it would look too homely.

Wow, that's many lots you fitted in that place! The layout looks great! Would there be any room for starter houses too? I still have to fit mine somewhere and it's a tiny lot. And I think Lana lost her starter house, but I'm not sure. It might be wise to have 4 of them in our world. We only have a couple of lots left at the center, and 2 at the port.

I also took some shots, so we can see where the military base can go and I'll post them soon.

Last sunday I updated the maps. But some of the lots are finished now, so I'll have to make a new update.

Nivaso, do you have something in mind that you want to build next, so I can put your next lot on the map?

maybe along the middle street where there are 30X30 lots on the top? we could probably fit...5 or 6? i will try it out.....

tyu.

hey, craggles, did you mean 64X64? there is 46X46.
