There is a really good building basics forum going on here... they are each week adding a new tutorial to the thread. Now these tuts are written by builders who seriously know what they are doing so if you are a little nervous, you too can build an exciting home for your sims... look here....
Hi! I'd like to add to this helpful thread by sharing a couple links:
1. Zoo U: Zoo U is home to interactive lessons gioven by different, talented, experienced builders. It is a great way to use tutorials and get practice.
2. Curved Walls I made this tutorial myself for curved walls, using columns.
Smoky, all of our Building Basics lessons for beginning builders are posted here http://www.simmerssociety.net/building
You can post this link or post the individual links. I'll leave that up to you.
If you have time, take a look at my new group. ^-^

Basically, I want to create a really modern house like the one in the picture! However I'm confused about how you do it! Its really hard to explain cause I don't know how you describe it but basically i want it like it is in the picture where its a full second floor if you know what I mean its like cut off if you know what I mean like you have the upstairs room and then its like a balcony sort of thing! God I'm talking a load of rubbish here but hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about haha!
RebeccaPowell.... have you tried putting a wall on the floor below, building the upper level, then knocking out the wall below your balcony? That might do it....
Excellent and very useful thread! Thank you for posting!
I do have one question for apartment building. Is there a way to add apartment doors like in S2 Apartments, where each door represents a household?
I have aparments and townhomes that I built but it operates as a single household. Therefore, I have lock the front doors to each apartment to only allow the sim who lives there.
I've been waiting a very long time for apartment doors! Thought that we would've gotten them with Late Night but was disappointed to see that we didn't!
Hi,
This is a great thread that I have had book marked for a long time now and keep coming back to it.
I have one problem which I hope you can help me with. The link for lovingreds tutorial on swaping out the exchange cover photo has been great I can now swap out for screen shots but I don't have word on my pc. I run windows 7 I have open office which I have tried this with but when I go to swap out the pictures the files don't show. They are on my system i know exactly where they are but they don't show when i want to replace them. What other program can i use? or am i doing something wrong? Not very tech savvy so simple terms would be great. Thanks for any help it would be much appreciated.
Sorry Found out how to do this using Gimp 2 So please ignore above. Thanks

This is another dead link. I think whoever had this website had deleted everything that was ever on it.

the link in your quote here works fine.
The 'dead' links work fine for me.....
Please remember this is not an advice thread, just a list of tutorials you may or may not find useful.
Its a cool use of the CAP programme..
