Look at what I made and worship me! (Post Your Creations)

[Saraswati]

  Thank you so much pira! I've just finished building it so that absolutely makes my night.

*hearts non-fugly reds*

You and me both hun. I cannot stand fugly redhair. That or the orange blondes. I prefer platinum blondes or sandy blondes. No orange or yellow blondes or fugly reds are allowed in my game. I think that is why you will see when I recolor that I tend to make the redheads more aulburns instead.

Saraswati, I really like that house. It's simple and classy.

I can pass on hair, clothes, and furniture, even if I really like them. But when I find a house that I love I can't resist. Mostly because I have such a hard time building them myself.

[Saraswati]

  Thank you so much Rebbie.. and the biggest compliment you can pay something is if you download it..

I got some help by a fellow simmer "Romy" on how to make Barn Rooflines and well this is what the end result is. I enjoyed making it so much that I made a bunch of pink, yellow, green, mint green, Fushia, Blk Red, Lavendar, Redwood and Deep Blue colored barn walls that I will be making into barn conversion homes later. You can find this Barn available to download here http://www.mediafire.com/?xmhgw2nyc3c and view more photos of it on my site. I have all EP's and Teen Pack installed on my game. I think most everything used is from seasons and of course you will need university.

  ah nice, that is such a sweet lot Puppygirl..

ah nice, that is such a sweet lot Puppygirl..

Thanks and I Love your home too. Did you make the roofline with the editing system or with the new pagoda roofing templates in Bon Voyage?

[Saraswati]

  Thank you! I made it using the BV asian roofs..  I also noticed when I was in there this time that there's a sort of "dormer" asian roof shape in there that I want to use next time..

I tend to stick to all Maxis or nearly all Maxis with my lots just because it keeps the size down, they load quicker in people's games and most people like downloading their recolours and new meshes seperately I think.. It just makes it a bit of a challenge when I'm dealing with the daggy Maxis bedding and often mismatched furnishings.

Well I removed almost all custom content from my game other then hair and a few clothes. I did keep some build items like windows and doors. Next time I build one I will turn off all custom content and do it that way. The only thing extra though in the lot I made was the windows and the invisible doors. I did use the seasons counters as I love the country counters with seasons. The lot I made is mostly unfurnished due to the fact like you said most folks want to make their own stuff in game and only download the shell of the home.

How do you make those roofs? I've been looking for tutes all over the place

How do you make those roofs? I've been looking for tutes all over the place

You have to use the cheat... IndividualRoofSlopeAngle 65 for the steep roofline and for the not so steep roofline use.... IndividualRoofSlopeAngle 35 make sure you type it exactly that way and you can play around with the number settings too anything is allowed from 25-75. Those are the two numbers I chose to use to make my roofline.

You want to make your building first so say if it is 12 x 12 on the lower floor then the upper floor should be 10 x 12. one square in for the roofline on the steep edge. First you need to lay down your roof. I started with the steep edge on the lower floor. Afterwards you type in the cheat shown above exactly as shown above and then you have to then press ctrl+alt and this will switch your cursor to a bulldoser looking cursor. Don't worry you are not going to bulldose your lot. Just click on the roof you just made and walla you now have either a steep roofline or shallow one depending on the angle you chose in your numbers. To switch pitches of the roofline just retype the cheat in and press the ctrl+alt and click on it as the undo button does not undo it.

Also if your game is patched the roofline stays this way when entering and leaving your lot. It does not do that if you do not have your game patched.

I am going to write up a tutorial with pictures for this so others can make these roofs too. I will do that in a couple days.

Thanks Puppy girl <3

[Steerpike]

I can has boots? Yes, I learned to mesh. After a day of tutorialing, this is what I ended up with. Now can I join TSR?





puppy-girl, that house is damn cute.

[chemistrycourtney]

The eyeballs.  Just the eyeballs.  I was going for a fun little multicolored eye.  I think it turned out pretty well. 

[Saraswati]

Anna, would you be ok with me using that mesh sometime? There's an old-style punk I did for the exchange about six months ago for a challenge and I need to get it on my site, but your mesh is way cooler than theirs..

And Courtney, that eye did turn out exceptionally well indeed.
