For some reason I keep doing new challenges rather than focus on my Venice build. rofl... RIP me
@Cbear13 Question: I have a bookshelf that because of the placement clips into a door archway. Now, I can't really wiggle it around to avoid it, because of where it is. So unless it is okay, I will have to change the bookshelf itself and pick a smaller one. I'd prefer to avoid that as I think this one overall looks better. ( I have been trying other options).
So, will this be ok in terms of judging? I mean I don't have an artistic reason other than "it looks better" lol. Or should I change the shelf?
@Laebeth Don't forget that we can shrink items now. See what is looks like a size lower. If you still don't like it, then picking a new one would probably be best.

@okester Oh believe me, I know. haha. I use the shrink option all the time!
Gotta be careful though, it can easily look unnatural when shrunk, as if it's a miniature version. Bookshelves are a good example of that. Also, having a tiny bookshelf in a large grand room looks even more strange than in a normal living room.
So if I need to it will look better to just change the entire shelf. But then I will have a bookshelf that is a bit too deep, and will look strange for other reasons. That's why I liked this one, it's very thin and fits well in the space. The color fits well too. It's just the darn clipping!
We'll see what happens! It will turn out okay any way I think

Notes about entry:
This room was inspired by a photo I came across while searching for inspiration. It had the hallway with the archways on each side leading up to the throne itself. This became the base of my room, and then I built the rest of it around it. I made sure to include some activities for the king, such as the chess table and the violin next to his throne, and also the bar globe for him to sneak a night cap. The cat next to his throne was the kings poor cat, caught in his gilded madness
One of the vases with the outdoor bush/flower in it will be clipping into each other slightly. I tried to keep it as clean as possible.
The Gilded Parlour looks so very regal and royal! @Laebeth The golden colour scheme looks so very nice how you have used it through the room! The layout of the room with archways either sides of the throne hallway looks very creatively great! Very nice windows golden throne nook! It is nice that golden knights are standing on guard each either sides of the throne. The floor, wall and ceiling candles are very nice touches in the room. The golden bullions look great on the floor! Very nice golden sofa siting areas for the King to enjoy resting there having a drink from the globe bar, reading a book, eating some fruit , and kept warm by the warmth of the fireplace. He will enjoy playing chess in the room. The portrait and landscape pictures and the shield wall items look great in the room. The type of doors used looks very elegant! The knights either sides of the door look great there also!
It is a very nice golden room for the King!

Notes about entry:
This room was a lot of fun to make! The female statue in the corner is supposed to represent his daughter. The plaque above her is a "In Loving Memory" of sorts. I gave a variety of activities such as: the organ, food buffet (with "gold" cheese fountain), drinking globe, painting easel, fireplace/sitting, chess, wall bookshelf, and the violin. I used the mural from City Living in the one room, which hopefully stays in good condition. I tried my hardest not to have anything touch, other than the gold on purpose. I know the tomes on the coffee table aren't fully gold, but my idea was that since they were ancient texts, he was researching a cure for his daughter. A few pieces are very close to touching but do not from what I can see. The rope fence does "cut off" at the wall, but I'm not sure how I could have fixed it as it's attaching to the wall. The seats in the front are for spectators, as when looking up throne rooms I saw seating on the side. Also, Elsa decided to walk in and play chess as I was trying to take pictures.
I also uploaded King Midas in case anyone wants him. I thought his formal suit was quite glittery.
Even if I don't place, this was a fun and unique challenge to try! I haven't done one in a while.
Gold is The New Black looks a very elegant room! @ashcrash19 The layout of the room is very nice! Very nice golden colour scheme of the room, and the wall patterning designs look very royal! Very nice throne area! It looks nice that it is separated off by red ropes. The gold beaded and golden curtains, shield items and tapestries are very nice touches on the throne wall. The golden cat and gold bullions look great there! It is great that golden knights are standing on guard either sides of the throne. It is a special touch that the female sculpture reflects his daughter The King will enjoy playing the pipe organ and the violin, and have fun playing chess. Very nice nook area with the golden food buffet! The golden and mosaic floor tiling and the mural from City Living looks very nice.! He will enjoy eating the food from the buffet, as well as enjoying having a drink from the globe bar in the room. The golden sofa seat sitting nook is very nice! He will enjoy relaxing there in front of the fire reading a book, or enjoy doing some painting on the easel. The golden flame trophy and golden cat are great touches on the fireplace ledge.
It is a very detailed golden kingly room!

Thank you, Rose. This took about 3 hours to do, as I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

@Laebeth sorry been hectic week, hmmm I think that would be picked up and critiqued as its quite obvious that its sticking in to the arch
I am quite forgiving if it was just sticking into the wall because it is a two tile sized object and thats a bit of a game flaw but the door way (arch) makes it look more obvious in a placement error
@Cbear13 If this isn't allowed I'll take it down, but I was excited and wanted to share. After submitting here, I decided to take on Rosemow's Apple Harvest Kitchen challenge. I actually quite like what I came up despite being simple in nature and wanted to show y'all. The rug is supposed to represent different colored apples, and the wallpaper the gradient of apples, same with the door. Oh, and Graham decided to stop by and make some popcorn.
I've been feeling really creative and wanted to come out of my shell a bit with Midas and rosemow's.
@laebeth - That's gorgeous! And the way you divided the room up is perfect! It rocks! @Ashcrash19 - very pretty and bright room and I love what you did with the tiling under the buffet table and your Apple Kitchen is very cute. All the apple paintings are great!

@ashcrash19 Thank you! As for the photos, they were taken in TAB mode yes. I typically switch to the Sims3 camera, then I go into TAB mode and position myself how I want. I try and take photos from Sim perspective.
If you are in TAB mode you can easily zoon in and out to more easily photograph small spaces, like bathrooms. I just use the mouse wheel to scroll and zoom in or out. Just be warned, be very careful with it. It very easily zooms too much which give the room an unnatural and warped look. Worst case you can always drop in and out of TAB mode to reset the zoom to standard.
In this particular case I had zoomed a tiny bit out to get a better view of the hallway.
Your room looks wonderful by the way! Some really lovely details added, like the tiled floor. I also love the organ
@Cbear13 Thank you for the feedback! I did end up making an executive decision and changed the bookshelf (luckily), so it won't be an issue. But good to know, as I was very unsure if it would be acceptable or not.
@Ainsleyf Thank you smooches! I actually wasn't going to participate for this one, not until I saw your room in fact! haha. Suddenly I got all inspired! Your room looks wonderful sweetie, I really love all the draped curtains. So royal!
Hi @Cbear13 I did my best with this golden room I found it difficult to find non-obvious stuff for this, I thought about not finishing it. At the end I focused only to achieve a golden bright. Also I was overwhelmed because the room is very expensive. Some of my family houses are cheaper. But I finished and that is good

Notes about entry: the golden table of the luxury party stuff is empty so it can be used for the bar drinks (sims usually put those drinks in the floor, yikes!). I found something weird: now you can put stuff over the golden fruits and the tea set (items at the sides of the throne), it was like the game did not see those items, and no, MOO was not on.
The golden design of Midas Living room looks very nice ! @emere The wall paneling and the golden circular floor rugs on the golden pathway to the throne, looks very elegant! Very nice golden throne area! The knights look great standing guard either sides of the throne! The way that you have done the throne wall and the squares and sun wall decor on either sides looks great! The King will have fun playing chess in his room. It is nice that there area arm chairs on each side of the throne pathway for him to have visitors come and chat. Very nice golden fireplace booknook and sitting area! The golden skulls, statue, bullions and trophies look great on the fireplace ledge! The King will enjoy sitting on the stools near the fire resting, having a drink from the globe bar and reading a book. Llama gold statue in the corner nook looks great! The bullions, golden flowers, musical note and flame trophy are great touches on top of the piano. The golden lights look pretty lining the edges of the pathway.
It is a very nice golden furnished room!
@Cbear13 Do you have a thread where you all share your creations with each other, or no? I made a new small house that I tried to pay more attention to regarding detail, but I don't know where to show you all. I did make an "Ashcrash19's Creations" thread in Sims 4 Lots. Thanks!

Love what you did! Just put mine up after not having done one for months.
Btw, how did you get the hallway pictures? I tried using tab but because my hallway is narrow I had issues with the wall up and tab.
