    Muy Caliente Family Starter

    in The Sims 3 Builders
    After looking at my original entry to the Build n Share challenge, I decided to go back and tweak a few things. Let me know what you think.

    Some of the changes aren't as visible from the Exchange pictures, so here are a couple of highlights:

    Original:

      The changes are mostly cosmetic... the wallpaper, windows, front patio, front door and some railing added around the living room and kitchen. But, I thought it made a big difference. :wink:

      It's really nice. I've yet to start mine. Hope I can manage on that budget :)

      Thank you. :) I'm sure you'll have no problem once you get started. Everyone's is different because we all focus on different aspects.. like furnishing or size or special construction, etc. I look forward to seeing yours.

      not being funny but the colours, decor and not to mention the name are very similar to mine :/ I hope the judges recognise that you did this after you saw mine and not the other way around.

      You did it again, Bennjoon. I was going to say the same thing and I didn't even know there was a competition.
      Eek! I hope it wasn't a copy!

      I did not copy you if that is what you are implying... This is a redo of the original which I turned in days ago. I only tweaked my wallpaper to match my carpets more and add a bit more interest. That's extremely insulting to say something like that.

      Bennjoon, You do realize, that my original was turned in a day before yours. So if anyone copied... But I don't think you did and I would appreciate the same respect.

      I didnt mean to be insulting but it is kind of similar as simeve said and why change the name to be like mine :< Im more worried that they will think I copied you as you will appear first in the thread.

      I changed the name because I felt like my updates to the house made it muy caliente rather than just caliente. That's all.

      I'm not sure what is so similar about ours anyway. I'll go look and see. Just because two people decided to do some Spanish influence on a Caliente Family home doesn't mean anything. You would think the name Caliente would inspire that anyway. Right?

      Personally, I don't see any similarity beyond some similar colors.. which happen to be part of the challenge request.

      Well Ive told anjubee anyway. So hopefully they wont think I have copied you now you have made these changes. Its the colours I think but like I said I know your a nice person and Im more worried that they will think I am the copier.

      What similarities are you referring too, just out of curiousity.

      Aww, you guys! Let's just treat this as a happy coincidence and that both of you just happen to have great similar tastes! You know what they say about great minds. We've had entries before with similar lot names too, so don't worry. It's quite a specific challenge, so having the same thought process about colors and lot names isn't too surprising. Both of you are very creative individuals and as a judge (or was a judge) anyway, I would never think you guys copied each other. So let's move on as this is just a little friendly competition! :)

      I just looked through this walk-through you did:

      http://www.thesims3.com/contentDetail.html?contentId=70344

      Seriously, I don't see any similarities at all. The only thing similar is the name we chose.

      No problem, Anjubee. It was just coming here and reading a post like that really insulted and embarrassed me. I don't want people thinking I'm some hack when I am not.

      Mostly the colours of the bedroom and kitchen which I dont think were in the req. but I can see that I have upset you and im sorry like I said I was more worried that they may think I had plaguerised you. Which even tho your lot is really pretty I have not.

      I just wanted to say I'm sorry to all involved. There are probably a lot of similar creations considering how many people use the exchange. I think I made things worse and I apologize. Like Anjubee said, great minds think alike.
