I am not new to sims.. But sims 4 is so very different from 2 and 3.. I still don't understand some of the build tools, but I am sure I will learn.. anyway, my origin id is mama_scarletblue hope you check out some of my creations!! I do have one question right now, not build related.. I only seem to be able to share images with imgur.. is there a way to share directly to the forums, or is there a better photo hosting site than imgur?

@Derian Pretty sure you've seen this Share Your Newest the Sims 4 Creations Here Folks are welcomed to share theirs there... Most would use imgur when it comes to hosting images.
If you're having troubles to get your pictures to be embedded in the forums, try making sure the formatting stuff was correctly done for. Then you'll need the direct link to the image, and the file extension right after the url (i.e. usually .png .jpg). If you right click open a image it should take you directly to the picture itself.
Pictures can actually be uploaded to most social medias, FB, Twitter etc. and their links will work too, albeit inconvenient. There are a handful other image sites but I rarely use them
Anyhow I'm no geek but I hope that had been of any help
