Hello! Welcome to my Showcase thread - I hope you enjoy looking at my builds and feel free to leave a comment
.
You can find me on the Gallery via my EA ID
MDianaSanders or by clicking this
link. My more recent lots can also be found using #sandersarchitects.
All my builds are without CC and I use MOO only sparingly (on decorative items) - my lots and rooms can always be placed without activating the cheat. I do play test when I'm not sure if something's functional.
Several of my builds are remakes of homes from older Sims games (mostly Sims 1 and 2) - you may recognise some of your favourite houses
- all of them adapted to Sims 4 style.
Some of my lots/rooms were made for the Build My Dream competition over on the Dutch Sims forums - for those I have made presentations which I'll share because even if you can't read the comments, they still contain a lot of pictures.
Let me tell you a bit about this thread, I have set up a few sections in the comments below - every build is only linked to once. I did this because, when I was preparing this thread, I realised I already shared quite a lot and putting in things double will take up a lot of space.
I chose a format to display some essential information, like, lot name, with Gallery link, lot size, amount of bedrooms, bathrooms and lot cost, as well as packs used (I abbreviated those). The format used for rooms is similar.
I'm not sure if it is going to work, so I may change it in the future (especially as it might be too much when I add more creations).
I was having some issues uploading images, so for now I'll use the ones I uploaded on previous occassions and the Gallery images.
All Gallery and presentation links have been added.
Comments
Let's start with my special builds and community lots (I don't have that many yet, so I just put them in here for now).
Architects' Office
The Headquarters of my SimArchitecture firm - I had one in Sims 2, so I thought it would be fun to make one in Sims 4 as well! I also have an architecture team (which does nothing but populate my build saves and occasionally play test) - I may share pictures of them later.
Renovation Challenges
These are homes that can do with some thorough refurbishing - if anyone does renovate them, I'm interested in seeing the result!
Renovated Farmhouse - 50x50; 3 Bed; 5 Bath; 189.676
Community Lots
Other
Requested by @Mightydan to be featured in his Sims 4 story "Frenemies" (extensive tour of the build available in Chapter 30)
These are all the homes I built. I've ordered them in the same budget groups as the Gallery (I added one though). Within those groups, the order is chronological (as opposed to the reverse chronological order the Gallery uses).
Under 20K
From 20K to 40K
From 40K to 80K
From 80K to 150K
From 150K to 250K
More than 250K
One of the things I am working on is rebuilding all neighbourhoods. I didn't get very far yet, I only did about half of Newcrest, but that's what I'll share for now. Eventually I will get to Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Windenburg and let's not forget Magnolia Promenade and Granite Falls (and whatever other worlds we'll get ).
I haven't yet thought of appropriate names for all of my neighbourhoods, at this point I'll refer to them by means of their position on the map.
Willow Creek - "Poplar Close" (Southeast Neighbourhood)
Newcrest - North Neighbourhood
Newcrest - East Neighbourhood
Newcrest - West Neighbourhood
The lists of rooms I shared are ordered by type, all display the size and cost as well as any packs that may have been used. The types of rooms I made very little of are grouped together under "Other". Most rooms come out of lots I made so sometimes the exterior may be a bit different .
Some of these rooms were featured in my submission for a competition, so there's a presentation with more images.
Kitchens
Bathrooms
Bedrooms
Living Rooms
Studies
Children's Rooms
Careers and Miscellanous

As some of you may know, last year I participated in a building competition on the Dutch Sims forums. Because I won last year, I now get to host the competition myself. Seeing as there's still a lot to learn about building in the Sims 4, I'm writing a building guide for each of the assignments. And it's not because I'm a pro, I too am learning a great deal by making these guides.
Because I also have a lot of followers who don't speak Dutch, I have translated those guides to English. Although it is a lot of work to create (and translate) these, I do enjoy making these guides. I'm always happy to share things, and why not knowledge as well?
The forums aren't the ideal place to put such things on (due to comments getting in between and lots and lots of scrolling if there are long posts), so I placed them on my Simblr. I will list the direct links in this post.
If anyone gets really excited reading these and starts to build something inspired by it - I'd love to see. Please feel free to post on my wall, PM me or tag me in your own showcase thread if you've built something based on my building guides.
Happy simming and building !

I'll just share a few pictures of my latest build (I already shared them in other places before, but it can use some additional promoting )
ZenOasis Sports Centre
Gym; 40x30; 182.643; Lots of items from Spa Day, a hot tub from Perfect Patio.
I built this to replace the gym lot in Oasis Springs with something that also had a pool and yoga.
The entrance, very tranquil
Changing rooms (the male version).
Weightlifting area and the hot tub.
Boxing room and treadmill area (there are lots of energized items scattered in the main gym area).
The pool, with additional bathrooms.
The yoga room
I did notice that the stereo (not visible in the pictures) behind the treadmills/near the sauna doors dissappears when placing the lot - it's because of an enlarged wall ornament that I was able to place without MOO, but apparently doesn't quite fit. I used the stereo you get from the musician/comedian career, because of it's energized aura (so you'd need to use bb.ignoregameplayunlocksentitlement to put it back in). Other than that, the lot functions fine (I have placed it in all my saves and my Sims like going to the gym).
It is a very nice venue for sims to enjoy visiting

@Fischio Thanks I have to say, I am quite proud of my Victorians As I haven't finished Newcrest yet, there will be more of them, though it may take a while before I get around to it.
I just added in the links to the presentations (I apologise again for them being in Dutch) and the one link I wasn't able to place the last time I tried.

Thinking of Venice
Retail (functional); 50x40; 526.491; GTW, OR, SD, LP, PP, CK, SpS
Welcome to Venice!
I was inspired by pictures of wall with cascading flowers so I tried to use lots and lots of flowers (the cascade effect was a bit hard without using MOO).
The place where Gepetto Simvarius crafts his famous violins.
Getting married is also an option (very romantic) that's what the Church is made for .
Venice at night.
View from the water.
I may post more pictures later this week (didn't have time to take more screenshots). I'm also working on a basegame only version of this build, but had a bit of trouble tracking down 2 things But I'l find them - someday.
It is a very detailed and very nice build!

I promised more screenshots and I have some (I may still share some more later in the week - I don't have much time right now and it's a really big build).
It wouldn't be Italian without a Gelateria
Inside the Bakery.
The Shopping Gallery with (left to right) flower shop, book store and clothes shop.
The wedding venue in the church.
Small waiting area near the gondola dock.
Lots of colourful gems in the tiny crystal museum (these are even for sale!)
And the "Showroom" floor in the workshop.
The build is so very nice!
