    Hiya everyone! I know I've been away for quite some time. But anyways, I was curious if there is anyone here that is attending the Simmers meet up in London August 1st.

    I will be there! And I thought it would be kind of sad if anyone from here went, and only found out afterwards haha!

    Keep up the building :) Loving it, I'm taking a break from it all myself, but I still keep a watch on the builds :)

    @BuildnShare Thank you for your comments on my 1st attempt !

    Can I ask, is it ok to edit my library / entry now with more pictures and presentation ie titles on the shots, seeing as I've already posted it here in the thread ?
    Thanks in advance!

    Edit - I've decided to upload to photobucket instead of flickr so will adjust my entry accordingly in the next couple of days

    ENTRY DETAILS: I wanted to make something with some kind of ancient Egyptian connection so I based it roughly on the Alexandria Lighthouse.
    I took the photos on the proper lot but I had to upload it from a different lot because the first picture wasn't showing up but I don't think that should make any difference as the total cost price is from the original library lot.

    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: yes please

    That's fine @Liziann1, as long as it is done before the challenge closes, you can make any changes you wish!

    LOT: Curtis Millienium Library
    LOT COST: $4,000
    BUILD COST: $145,039
    TOTAL COST: $149,039
    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: http://s7.photobucket.com/user/misscbong/slideshow/Curtis Millenium Library
    ENTRY DETAILS:

    Curtis Millenium Library is a marvel of modern architecture! With benefactor Douglas Curtis III behind the project, the library mirrors his own modern and sophisticated style. Built from sturdy concrete, the minimalist decor encourages serious study and lots of space for the citizens of Willow Creek to come and learn.

    The main floor has two public bathrooms, each with two private stalls. The circulation desk is front and center, allowing staff to quickly greet visitors as well locate any needed materials. At the back of the main floor, there is an arts space with several easels ready for use. And not to forget the littlest fans of literature, there is a private childrens area with craft stations and chairs that are perfect for a reading circle!

    The second floor houses most of the books and provides more then enough private desks and computers for visitors to use. There are also reading spots, chairs and vending machines to ensure everyone's comfort.

    The third and top floor is a roof garden with seating to help enjoy the stunning views. As well, logical Sims are able to spend their time playing chess while enjoying some sun.

    I'm s impressed with all these libraries. Didn't have time for this one, so I'm happy to see so many beautiful entries. My library of downloads is growing by leaps and bounds, lol!

    Hello All. Some people know me and some people dont. For those who dont know me, I am one of the judges (primarily for TS3) and admin of BNS. You may not see alot of posts from me, but I am usually lurking in the background. And I've noticed somethings I am going to comment on. Being a blunt person, I'm sure I'm about to offend people. Brace yourself.
    ONe of the things I've noticed is people complaining about the budgets and the requirements of the builds. I write alot of the challenges. Each of the challenges are reviewed by the other judges just to make sure they are workable in TS4.
    THis is a building CHALLENGE. The idea behind Build n Share is to help you develop your skills, find new ways of thinking and discovering new inspiration. These are not meant to be easy things where you get a trophy for participating. This is also a personal choice. If you think its too hard, dont enter. Its that simple.
    Some of the comments I've seen have come from people who are familiar with BNS for TS3. And its been surprising. You know who you are. ANd you know how this works. BNS for TS4 is no different than BNS for TS3.
    Certain things are expected at certain levels. If you dont want to fulfill the requirements for that level, dont enter it. PLain and simple. If you're an advanced builder, you're expected to show use of moo, landscaping, color and design, good organized labeled pictures and so on. If you're a beginner, we'll help by pointing out what we expect from you in the future as you progress. If you dont want criticism, put NO on your entry form and we wont critique it. It will still be judged, but we wont give you feedback.
    But either way, all the challenges are doable and all have certain requirements. Use your common sense, think outside the box, meet the requirements and have fun. Or dont enter. Its YOUR choice. All are welcome and appreciated and each creation is treasured, but at the end of the day its YOUR choice.
    Have a lovely day.

    This'll be my first time entering. I'm from the UK, and my entry should be complete ASAP. I've been playing the Sims for over 3 years, though TS4 build mode I'd still consider myself a beginner - I hardly ever use it!
    I'm surprised I've not noticed this before - it looks like a lot of fun!

    Welcome @alexmcnamee !! Can't wait to see what you have come up with!!
