@chips46, I'm sure your alien build will be amazing. I can't believe you're almost done. I just started today.
@lsnishi I dont think its that amazing, it may look weird I made a big mistake somehow I ended up building back to front and I thought by tuning the lot around to the front it doesn't look very good in the gallery picture when you save it to your library the build is in your face in the picture its so huge I should've have tuned it as a room around instead of the lot and I almost forgot how to use the build tool to make unique rooms with it, it's been a long time since I've build anything this weird as of now and these challenges just for fun are a great way to practice our building skills you and @coolsim9999999 I hope your builds goes well can't wait to see your alien home and this is the best when we show our ideas or what we come up in our build design
@chips46, I think if it looks weird, it's probably a good thing. I'm struggling to make mine look more unique and not just some slightly different modern build. So I think most of us are going to be struggling with this challenge. It's often hard to be creative and still make something attractive!
Good luck to all of you still working on your builds!
My lot doesn't look great in the my library/gallery picture, either @Chips46 ! However, it's coming along, still nowhere near done, and looks really unique, so far ! So, I think that will make up for it...lol !
Jusr curious, is there anybody else still working on an alien build? I know @chips46, @coolsim9999999 and myself are still plugging away. @Sbodine89 already finished a great alien home.
I'm curious because I am having a lot of trouble with both inspiration and execution....this is way harder than I thought it would be. Curse you @Cbear13; you're really making me think!
I am sorry that you are having issues @lsnishi I hope that you will get inspiration soon. Perhaps try using the hashtag alien in the gallery, filter by lots, and you may get some ideas.
@lsnishi I had no idea where to start this alien build and same with landscaping I imagine how would an alien would see it I started with a room and went with that to connect with other rooms I just finished my alien home and sim family just need to playtest the build for now I hope you get some ideas
Thanks @rosemow, @HEW310 and @chips46! After a couple of false starts, I do have the exterior and first and second floor interior done. Finishing the third floor interior now. I'm finding it hard to decorate though....geesh, you wouldn't think an alien kid would have too cutesy a room.
It finally looks alien enough for me, but it took me awhile. It does look weird though. @Cbear13 really made me work for this one. Can't wait to see what everyone else made.
@inishi
I just started with the outside and fit in the inside. that's just how I build in general. I just started by making random rooms and seeing how weird it looked. the weirder the better for an alien home!
Out of this World is such a very creatively designed Alien home! @Sinead The exterior design and layout of the home looks so very great! The dome glass roofing, and curved roofing and walls looks very nice! It looks great the types of windows used in the build and the placement of them looks very nice. The wall feature with the red greenery and ledges is a very creative idea! Very nice water fountain feature. The glass windows tower is very nice. The dome roofed greenhouse is a very nice place for the Aliens to enjoy growing their special alien plants. They would enjoy sitting at the table there in the sunlight. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! The blue colour of the walls in the dining and music room looks very nice. The aliens would enjoy listening to the piano music being played whilst sitting resting on the orange armchairs or enjoy eating a meal at the dining table. The flowers are a pretty touch on the coffee table. The circles wall pattern in the kids room looks great! The unicorn is cute there! Kids would enjoy using the building blocks table. Very nice design and furnishing of the kitchen! The type of wall pattern used looks great and reflects well the alien theme. Very nice island bar stool counter for Sims to enjoy sitting on the stools eating a meal or having a drink from the drinks tray.
It is a very creatively designed alien home!

Lovely build and family @chips46! We both used the Jungle Adventure windows and the debug UFO! Hope you're able to get your build up on the gallery without any problems! I gather it's acting up again.....:(
Home Far Away is such a very creative looking build! @chips46 The design of the exterior looks very great! The blue fenced balcony areas look great! It looks great the way that there are stairs up to the entrance of the home. The alien plants look great in the outdoors area below the home! The spaceship hovering over the top of the home looks great! The Alien kids will have fun playing on the spaceship. The water features look great! Very nice furnishing of the bedrooms! The pink/purple and blue colour schemes give a great look to the rooms. The patterned flooring looks very nice. The alien, rocket and space themed pictures are great touches on the bedroom and living area walls. The kids will like using the special alien themed computer on the study desk table in their bedroom ! Very nice nook areas in the living area for Sims to enjoy watching the alien tv channel, read a book or use the alien computer in the corner nook. The fish tank is a nice touch in the home.
The alien family is very nice! Their hairstyles and the colour of them looks great! Very nice blue and pink/purple colour scheme of their outfits .
The Alien sims and their home are very creatively designed, built and created!
