@MiaSkywalker Yes a pool in the desert is a must I think. It's an outdoor pool, which ajoins the master bedroom. I used the color blocks on the outside walls to give it an edgier more modern look. ty for your compliments I think I'm going to angle the top roof the opposite way but not sure yet.

Yeah, it does give it a more modern look. I'm not really very good with the more modern looks. I may have to learn, and so I may have to study houses of that type to get ideas. I'm much better with medieval, as you know.
Maybe you ought to experiment with that roof, and try each different direction to see what works best. I suspect that hipped, gabled, or mansard would look completely wrong with that style of house, and that flat or slanted is the best bet.
@MiaSkywalker yes I think the angled is best, just the other way I think? Your medieval houses just plain rock! Have you had a chance to upload your tower yet?

Nope, I need to export the right one, and I haven't been in my game for a few days. I had the wrong one exported, and I didn't realize it until I looked closely at the pictures it had.
After I export the right one, I'm going to take some better screenshots in game, and then replace the images. So, I have a bit to do. I'll make sure to let you know once it's there, since you like it.
I also want to upload some of the others, except for the medieval bathhouse. Because my game views my massage table as CC, it exports it as CC in the lot, which makes no sense. But it also means I can't upload it is putting SOMETHING in that isn't right.
Oh, that is an interesting site @Teanias I bookmarked it
That's a great way of using half walls @imdragonit ! Other than for my castle I would never have thought of that and would have used a fence instead.
Minecraft - My little boy wanted it after watching youtube (dantdm) so I bought it on ps3 and after a few months it's usually me that plays it now lol.
Sorry I haven't been around, pokemon go came out and i've got a little addicted with it lol ^_^
Ok, so... for those of you interested (I'm not sure who all was), I finally uploaded the medieval lots I had worked on. I spent all day using Sims 3 UIC to replace the icky images that get put in as a default, and I've learned that using the tab camera is sometimes impossible to work with. I suspect that if I had turned the lots that I was having trouble with into residential, just for the purposes of doing screen captures, the problems might have gone away, but I'm not really sure.
Anyway, they're all up there now.
Fairy Tale Beginnings
This is the tower that's sort of based off the Disney Rapunzel movie, as well as Giselle's home in Enchanted
The Medieval bathhouse
Annnd... for whatever reason, the massage tables are no longer showing up as CC. This is good, but it baffles me that they were doing it before.
@MiaSkywalker I recommend them all and are you sure you didn't hide the Ford Focus in the basement of the tower! Oh maybe you're princess has hidden it so she can escape the tower!
They're all so lovely, Have Rec'd them ^_^ My favorite would definitely be the fairytale tower
That's my favorite too.
The Items list doesn't say it needs Boardwalk, but it does, or it will look a little funny. I suspect the roller coaster parts would be replaced with columns if you don't have it, which would look weird.

I was surprised this morning to see how many recommendations they had each gotten. I've never had so many recommendations on anything before. Either people are doing it to be nice, or I've improved quite a bit.
@MiaSkywalker It's cause they're all so fantabulous! They are all seriously great. I'm going to have to try again on the tower, my computer is throwing one of it's little fits ( gets out hammer & looks menacingly at the computer )
@MiaSkywalker I get surprised like that all the time I will upload something and think maybe a few people will like it then I come back a week later and find literally hundreds of people have downloaded then a month later 1000 have! For some reason more people upload my single items like a dresser or the baby items more often than my lots! Which I find weird because all the items I have used in the lots! Like most of the popular baby items are in the baby loving home they could get the whole collection in one swoop!
My most uploaded lot has 93 downloads but my most uploaded item has 3263 downloads and it is just a shelf that I changed the wood to a blue wood that you can still see the woodgrain!
@Teanias - I've never bothered uploading a recolor, or downloading one, for that matter. It always seems to me to be weird that people do that. (Download them, I mean.) After all, they could just do the recolor in their own game! Apparently, though, some people have a problem with CASt, and that may be why.
When I first started I had a habit of sending things to be uploaded right after recoloring a room to match and I would try to give everything a similar name so people could easily find the whole set I haven't done that though in my last three builds.Now that I know some have trouble with their cast I can understand why so many have downloaded the items I just thought they didn't have the imagination to recolor thing or that I had an unusual way of recoloring things!
Hah! Never thought about it that way! I never upload recolourings either, but it makes sense some people like them if CASt makes their game as slow as mine gets in houses full CASted items lol
I've never hit 1000s in downloads, my most downloaded item is 341 times downloaded, a cute little simmie kid I made quite a while ago. I didn't even make him myself, he was an imaginary friend turned to life :') apparently the stuff I really make myself isn't liked that much lol! Sorry for my late and probably half plummed reply. I've been a little absent minded lately.
I think my most downloaded re-colour is literally a White medieval dress that's already in-game with 981 downloads - the top 3 are actually all re-colours. My most downloaded lot with 185 downloads is 89 Honeystone House which is the house that had the roof problems and that you guys helped me with Literally watched it takeover things that have been there for years lol
@MiaSkywalker they are fantastic that's why @SjappielovePaul I adore your houses @teanias You never think about people having trouble with cast but they are lovely
@MiaSkywalker they are beautiful and they do deserve all the recommendations they get! Also thanks for the friend request! @SjappielovePaul most of the stuff that is in the thousands are from duyguugudur's baby shower so I think they got extra advertising from that!
What I find weird is the difference between how many Downloads an item has and its recommendations like my most recommended item is actually my tester family and it has 11 recommendations and 305 downloads!
@Kylieb191 that is a great house and I have noticed a lot of simmers like the modern style!
@imdragonit I usually threaten to throw my computer in the pool I don't know that it really helps my computer work but it does help my frustration imagining it flying through the air! Of course right now it would land with a big crash in the bottom of an empty pool (We are trying to patch the pool on our own and it is very slow work!) and it would probably break into many little pieces so I guess I better not!
What I find weird is the difference between how many Downloads an item has and its recommendations like my most recommended item is actually my tester family and it has 11 recommendations and 305 downloads!
I don't understand that myself, tbh. When I download something, I recommend it. I do check to make sure it has no CC, and that it installs properly, but as soon as I've checked it for CC and installed it in my game, I recommend whatever it is that I downloaded. I feel that if I'm using it, it deserves a recommendation.
That's why I never understand why recommendations are so much lower than downloads on many things I see in the Exchange. I just don't understand people downloading without recommending, unless there are problems with the item/lot/Sim.
And for me, it also helps me to keep track of what I've downloaded. If I've recommended it, I can be sure that I've downloaded it at some point already.

Oh yes, to be honest I just think people download it then go to the next item that they're searching for or have seen it's strange but I always rec as well even before it's in game, Most of my recs came from being apart of the Pink Ladies Biker Club ( That's going back a few years lol) who'd either gift or rec your studio if they didn't have many points . I also found that if you put in the description - do not download, on say avatars, they still download them lol.
Thank you @Teanias I have noticed that as well, I guess owning a modern house is only a dream that alot of people have so they get to do that through the Sims
Hello, sorry to intrude. New to (posting on) the forums, and I just really wanted to say how much I enjoyed seeing all the houses built for this contest.

Edit: Btw, I have absolutely no idea why the fantasy tower says it's using the Ford Focus Neon set, because it's not.
