Managed to get all my build screenshots before my game crashed on me! Unfortunately, that was before I could upload to the gallery and get pictures of the Olsens doing there thing.
Also, what I wouldn't do for an extra $5k to do something with they backyard.
I am proud of myself for building what I have in less than a day, though.
Since there has been talk lately about how to delete duplicate entries, I thought I'd make a quick Tutorial. Hope it's okay to post it here, if not, let me know and I will delete it.
(See picture below for graphical reference)
Begin by Opening the Gallery.
#1 - Click on the Community Tab at the top center of the Gallery.
#2 - Make sure that it is set to "All" under the Cloud that say Community at the top left hand side - You do not want it on Maxis or Following. I think it is now defaulting to the "All" tab, but if it is not, click on "All".
#3 - Below that, under Category, make sure it is set to "All".
#4 - Below that, under Sort By, make sure it is set to "Most Recent".
#5 - Below that, click on "Advanced" to bring down its options.
#7 - In the top right hand corner, under your account picture and name are the search boxes. Click the down arrow tab and select "Hashtag".
#8 - In the search box next to it, type in "BuildnShare3". (Or whichever hashtag you are looking for your duplicate entries under.)
#9 - Find and Click on your duplicate entry.
#10 - When your entry comes up, at the bottom left hand corner, you will see a green cloud with an arrow pointing up. If you hover over that button it will say "Remove Lot from Community". Just click on that cloud button and your duplicate entry will be removed from the Gallery.
Repeat steps #9 and #10 for each duplicate entry.
I hope this helps!

Hey you guys, has anyone else had problems recently with parts of a 1st floor roof showing through the walls of the second floor? It wasn't like this last week when I put that bed and dresser and end table in and I have no idea why it suddenly started showing up this way and on only one side at that. I haven't done anything structural since then, just changed wall coverings, flooring, and added decor on the 1st floor, and landscaped, etc. I tried moving sims in to see if it would disappear in live mode, but nope, still there. I've tried removing the roof, saving and quitting, then going back in and rebuilding it, but it still shows up this way. And shortening the overhang does nothing to the part sticking into the 2nd floor, and I don't want to lose my overhang anyway. I may have to just abandon challenge #3.
@Carewren123, I tried that a few times. I even tried saving and quitting after deleting it and then restarting the game before rebuilding, thinking that maybe it was just a little glitch that a restart would fix, but no luck. It's just so frustrating because it wasn't like that last week and there's no reason that I can think of for it to start showing that way. I'm fresh out of ideas. The fact that it's only on one side has got to be a clue to what's causing it, but I can't for the life of me figure out what that would be.
@ahholladay The only other thing I can think of is deleting the wall and replacing it. Have you tried that? Sorry you're having this issue. I think I saw someone else having that problem, but I can't remember when/where.
If you look at my slide show, you'd see the same thing with mine. I had simply assumed it was because I deleted the floor tiles to get that open feel that allowed it to do that. I had no idea it happened for a different reason @ahholladay
I just found this thread, it's not exactly the same issue, but maybe it could be the same/similar bug. This person found that the roof only hadclipping problems when the house was oriented in a certain direction.
so you might want to try rotating the whole house and see what happens. If you already have your landscaping done, you could take those photos first. Then rotate the house to get the interior shots of that room (If this even fixes the problem)
Edit: Actually what would probably be easier is just deleting that roof while you take the interior pictures.
@Carewren123, that sounded like such a good idea. I had high hopes, but deleting and rebuilding the wall didn't do the trick either. And thanks for the link to that thread. It does sound like it's a bug rather than something I've done and rotating the house just wouldn't look right in this case. I just wish I knew what changed between the time I put that bed in and now.
@celdys0n, the bit of roof over the door? Yep, that's exactly what mine's doing. If I ever figure this thing out, I'll be sure to let you know how to fix it!
@ahholladay, I know you tried deleting the wall, but did you try rebuilding the room as a unit? It seems like roofs work better with rooms vs. manually defined walls. It may be a longshot. I sure hope you resolve it, but I wouldn't scrap your challenge entry if not. You aren't at fault for a bug! To get a better screen shot of the room, maybe just resize the roof for that shot and then move it back.
@BryonyRae, you helped me figure it out!! I rebuilt the room and the bit of roof disappeared, so I said, 'yay!' and started putting all the furniture and decor back in - the bed, the dresser, etc. and then I put back the decorative spandrels I had between the bedroom and the walk-in closet/dressing room area and *bam* the roof was back. Sledgehammered the spandrel, roof gone again! Maybe spandrels are meant for outdoor use only? I sure hate to lose them - it was the prettiest part of that room, lol. But I'm glad to be rid of the roof. Thank you so much - I would never have guessed the spandrels were the problem if I hadn't rebuilt the room!
@celdys0n, do you have any spandrels anywhere in your build that may be causing yours? My spandrels weren't even on the same wall or anything - they were across the room - but somehow they made that roof show up.
Congratulations to all! I have really enjoyed these challenges so far and am anxiously awaiting the next one. Free time to play the game as of late has been limited, but I do enjoy spending it on building. Despite my initial frustration with the budget on this challenge, it was completely doable, just lots of downsizing, lol. I am thankful for the length of the challenges for those of us with not a lot of extra Sim time! Thank you for all of the hard work you put into running these challenges - it does not go unnoticed!

So glad you figured it out! Very interesting find. I haven't done much with spandrels inside, but now if this ever happens to me, I won't have to pull my hair out wondering why! I'm guessing that what actually happened was that because the spandrels are considered part of fencing, the roof no longer saw your room as a "room" when you added them, so it poked through.

Any tips?
Well, roofs will only be cut by entire rooms. So I would think that the game doesn't think that room isn't exactly a room. Maybe check if it is really closed and seen as a room, otherwise recreate the room?
I didn't read all the replys yet, but it really seems that adding spandrels makes a room an outdoor room, which will not cut roofs.
Thank you so much to everyone who replied to my questions about the gallery pricing and duplicates. With your help I was able to successfully delete all of my previous uploads and reupload a final version. I ended up doing a walk-through beforehand and I'm glad I did. Don was having trouble using the woodworking bench because it was blocked by the bottom row of shelves above it. So I deleted them. Also, when I first went into live mode, they immediately received $90. I was confused why until I noticed the door leading to the guest bathroom from the hallway was deleted due to a conflict with an enlarged painting. I ended up having to shrink the painting back to normal before I could put the door back.
When I went back into Manage Worlds after the walk-through to save it to my library and upload it to the gallery, I was relieved to find my total is still under 100K! Whew! \o/
I went a little screenshot crazy, it took almost three hours to upload them, but below is my very first BuildnShare Challenge entry for Round 3. Yay! I hope I did everything correctly. Thank so much again to everyone in the BuildnShare community. I love how you're all so friendly and helpful. You Rock! Happy Simming!

CHALLENGE #: 3 - The Olsen’s Colonial
FORUM ID: Karababy52
ORIGIN ID: karababy52
LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: http://imgur.com/a/77m7v#0
ENTRY DETAILS:
My entry built/designed for Don & Judy Olsen is a two-story, 2 bedroom, 3.5 bath home with a typical Mid-Atlantic Colonial style exterior inspired by examples I found online in the Williamsburg, Virginia area. It includes a built on addition for Don’s workshop and the Master Bathroom/Judy’s Gym Combo. While there are two chimney peaks, the home has no fireplaces. They were only added to help adhere to the look of this particular colonial architectural style. I had intended to add a formal herb/flower garden in the back, but I ran out of funds. Bummer… However, the home does have flowerbeds out front. There is abundant room left on the lot for the in-laws future home(s).
The interior of the home is decorated in my interpretation of a modern style. Not my strong point, but I tried! The first floor includes the entryway, living room, eat-in kitchen with a bar and dining room in an open floor plan, a full bathroom, plus accessed via the kitchen is Don’s workshop which includes a half bath. A covered patio area on the back of the house can be accessed from the dining room or from Don’s workshop.
The second floor includes a sparse hallway (I ran out of funds), the Master bedroom with an en suite bathroom with access to Judy’s Gym, and a Guest bedroom with an en suite bathroom which also can be accessed from the hallway.
GALLERY PRICE: $88,672 + LOT PRICE: $10,000 = $98,672 Total (Hope I did that right…)
CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: No CC, but I did use the enlarge tool on a few objects.
*Note: I did create Don & Judy Olsen and uploaded them to share, but will not be entering them for the separate contest since my Don isn’t balding and is clean shaven. I’ve included a few frames of them in the slideshow though just to show them checking out their new digs. I also will not be entering the separate contest for Don’s workshop.
Thank you for this challenge, I thoroughly enjoyed myself!
EDIT: Whoops, had the slideshow on private, but it's public now.
@ahholladay I am sure it is because I deleted those floor tiles, but I am not worried about it. Figure it just adds something to that vwall, so I went with it. Thanks for the concern

It really does add something to the wall! When I looked at your pics, I remember thinking that yours looked like an architectural detail put there on purpose. So for you it was floor tiles, for me spandrels - I just need to remember that anything that makes the game think it's an outdoor space may cause the roof to show.

I'm confused. Are we supposed to be creating a slideshow for the sims we enter in the contest? Or are we supposed to include them in the home's slideshow? What exactly are the requirements for the sims in terms of showing them? In challenge #1, I had my designer in my slideshow, but I think in that one we were explicitly instructed to show sims in the building. In challenge #2, I made Douglas Curtis III, but I did not include him in the slideshow. However, I noticed a lot of you did put your sims in, so in this last challenge, I have a couple shots of the Olsens (but they're really just in the background). Are your sims scored on their own, or do they add in to your overall score for the challenge?
