thx for sharing ;)
yes you may change the roofing
(also posted on Q&A)
is your post to that say you would like to enter the competition ?
only thing that could be is the wall coverings or landscape paints
===============
Ive just gone in game to check and the only item is the reception desk.
if you dont have the world IP . its not a problem you can MOO one by using counters and other items.
(edited to an the above)
I may give a whirl at the motel 'lesser' resort, sounds like a lot of fun!
Questions:
I've never actually used the game mechanics to run a resort. Besides an official IP front desk, do resorts need to have a rabbit hole for this contest? Should it have playability as a resort or just the look? I think front desk and buried rabbit hole is all that is required for resort playability. I'd rather not test that part, but if you request it I'll try! Is the rule of thumb that you see rooms in each cubby that your shell has? Either bedrooms or other? When I see the shell (downloading now), I'll probably get it (Now I'm wondering if buffet tables that match the 'star level' are automatic in a resort or if I need to place them?) I do have IP, and the resort part is just one more of the many things I haven't yet tried in Sims 3.
Next question topic:
I always test routing in my builds which have primarily only been residential. Can the motel PURPOSELY have a couple routing issues in some guest rooms, done to "flesh out" what an icky place it would be to stay? (e.g. dirty laundry on the floor) I can take care to allow routing and sims won't even know it's a dive LOL. But for looking upon, I think some askew-ness would be apropos. Making a not pretty lot is the appeal of this contest for me
Your contests are great and I've been lurking a long time. (oiswise, my 'better half', had a ball with her fairy museum and park!!)
Back to the routing 'issue' part: what I also mean is if not every chair snaps to slot which causes complaints of course from our little Sims, is that okay? As long as there is somewhere they can read, they will find it I think... and is some "green air" too much? I've never purposely caused the Disgusted moodlet and want to very much!! LOL
I can ansvere some of your questions.
yes for a lot to work as a resort all it needs is a resort rabithole and the front desk - if this is needed here to take part I don't know... I gues not or you would need IP to take part.
the resort buffet tables you need to set, the resort gets stars depending on what items and what level of service you offer. even some of the deco will give you plusses in the way to becoming a resort.
Id just like to say that if you Dont have IP and still wish to take part I can add the needed items myself. just leave a two row of 4 space in the entrance hall and a good size either basement or on the grounds, so i can place the resort RH .Not having this will not effect your scores.
Just add no IP to your entry form.
Happy creating everyone
nice to see you intrested in my little shell comp
Now to answer some of you questions
If you dont have IP dont worry I can add whats needed.
Routing issues well I dont mind those using the cheat Moo.so i supose some very minnor ones will be ok.
But i dont want things like stairs not working as they should and doorways or arches.
I to was jaw dropped at the amount of work and creativity Oiswise put into the art gallery for my previous comp.
Have fun and good luck
(will also post on Q&A)
they mean Heaven or H.e.ll and yes both decor and to what the sims will experience but that is also upto you .
(also posted on the Q&A)
your welcome
So, I will leave my finished basement (although upon uploading I wouldn't be surprised if it stole the rabbit hole. If so, it's set up for easy fitting of the "two cottage" beach rabbit hole.
I think I will put in a few counters that you can replace with the front desk which is all I think I can do. By the way, it won't let me set up the resort kiosk for food either (so I can use Seasons kiosk).
If there is a fix maybe a kind person will let me know; if not I'll do as stated. Besides that glitch and a crash, it is a fun project. The lot type reverts always to "No Visitors Allowed"; I'll try a more friendly replacement such as "Visitors Allowed" or "Hang Out", but it may revert due to the rabbit hole for a resort.
Back to it!!
