Alright, the sim section is up. I knew I should have reserved another post spot just in case, so the Sim Swap Shoppe is all squashed into one post...aw well. lol
You could start a new thread, reserving as many spots as you need, then we could get that one stickied. Only if you wanted to. If you feel like you can manage it fine the way it is, no problem.
When the front pages of all the forums got wiped out, we had to start a new FAQ & World Index. I posted a new thread in the technical section. Nichaedemus said we could post in that thread if we needed anymore stickied.
This is a great idea.
I love building lots but, getting a worlds worth can be daunting.
It would be usefully if you could included info about specialty/theme lot/Sim builders.
I have probably over a 100 pre industrial res & comm lots in my bin.
I know most builders don't specialize but it would be useful to identify the ones that do.
I'll post my studio/thread info tomorrow

You could specify that in the last line of the form, just put a little blurb in there about your themes. Or mention that in your description of your building style.

It was, but probably didn't stand out much, was kinda blending in w/ the rest of the post lol. That's why I put a nice bright banner above it lol.
-In the lots you upload,
Do you use CC?: Not in uploads
Do you use CAP?: Never in uploads
Do you use store stuff?: Yes and No
What EPs an SPs do you build with?
Whatever I feel like - I own everything except Katy Perry, Diesel and 70's, 80's & 90's Stuff Packs. How I restrict myself in content depends, sometimes, on what world it's going into. For example, if I am building for a specific world, I will limit my use of content to that which the world creator is using. On the other hand, if I am building Chinese houses for myself, I will use anything I want to use. I own all Store worlds and most venues and sometimes, I will use some of this content as well.
Skill Level: Somewhere in the range of intermediate - advanced
How do you describe your building style, generally? I would have to say I build for the world, meaning I build for cultures predominantly OUTSIDE of the USA, where I live. I do not build very many "American" homes.
Which lot types can we find in your studio? Mostly residential
Anything else you'd like us to know? Feel free to use any lots in my studio and do what you want with them. Some lots have spiral stairs and these may need redoing since Pets. A lot or two may have lost the flooring on the upload. Flooring is easy to replace. I rarely upload my creations so if a lot is in my studio, it's because I felt it important to share that particular lot with others.
ok, cool. I was really expecting a more rapid response from simmers too, just considering how generous it has been at my Apple Valley thread w/ people letting me raid their studios for that world. aw well, even what we've got so far is better than before some of the people who've responded have quite a lot in their studios.
I could maybe post a link in the Creative Corner too, and Sims and mOdeling to see if anyone will come on over.
I think that's a good idea. We might have to actively recruit builders. I know EHaught has said in the past his stuff is available, and I'm thinking Ruthlesskk did also. I'll post on My page, facebook, and tscc. I can also start asking some of the builders who have built in my worlds. Sometimes a personal invitation is hard to refuse

*Skill levels: Pick which best describes you
Intermediate-I think a know a fair amount about building, I know some of the "tricks" and can use them if needed. I feel that I can make a lot both visually appealing and functional with a fair amount of ease. I feel that I generally understand more about building lots than most beginners, but I wouldn't say I'm super awesome at it. Most people appreciate my work or tell me that it's good.
The answers to the Sim questions are the same as above.
A couple of older Sims may have CAP patterns but the majority do not.

yay! thanks, looks like we got a couple more!
Annieover, could you do the form from page one? There is one for sims and and for lots. So that I know which list to stick you on.
I feel totally shy about putting my name in as I am so incredibly new at this compared to everyone here, but I have taken to this game in a pretty hard core way and am adding several lots a week, and I would be so thrilled if people wanted to use my lots, so....

What EPs an SPs do you build with? All except Katy Perry SP, but I often try to limit my builds to a couple EPs, depending on the needs of the project
Skill Level: Intermediate (a very new intermediate)
How do you describe your building style, generally?: Highly eclectic and varied. I like imitating pictures of interesting architecture, and I like recreating paintings (hopefully will get more of that sort of thing uploaded soon). I build American vernacular, Mediterranean-ish, and modern architecture... have dabbled with Tudor architecture. I will occasionally build an over-the-top mansion. Anything historic and storied. I do not build suburban America 50s-present style architecture.
Which lot types can we find in your studio? (residential, community, both): Residential, but look out for more community lots in the near future
Anything else you'd like us to know? If you are reuploading I'd really appreciate that a lot says it is by Aminovas or modified from original by Aminovas, and I would consider it a great favor it if you let me know because I so would love to see what people do with my lots But mostly I'd just be really happy if anyone wants to use my lots for anything at all... So, a thanks to anyone considering it..!
