Faizah, I normally find completely symmetrical buildings kind of boring and uninspired, but considering the theme it makes sense. When building this were you thinking of like a prison kind of lot or just a typical castle? Sorry I don't know anything about castles. Would the people housed on the first floor be prisoners of some sort or just like crappy servant peasants? I think this thing would look a lot cooler if it was more tower-like, going up a few more levels. Though that requires cheats and idk if you're adverse to those or something.

Anyway I finished mine. Actually it was mostly done a long time ago but then I installed AL and spent a really gross amount of time building unnecessarily large tenements for my urban sims before coming back to the challenge. Also I'm just a really slow builder.

Okay this is 16 Blood Tooth Road, semi-furnished (parlor, dining, kitchen, 2 1/2 baths, 2 bedrooms, 1 spare (nursery, bedroom, den, whateva), attic):




More: parlor, master bedroom, dining room, kitchen, 1/2 bath, hall, bath 1, upstairs hall, bath 2, bedroom 2, attic. I got snap happy Embarrassed

- I added ceilings during and after picture-taking.
- I'm pretty sure the armoire in the 2nd floor bedroom will be missing if you download. I deleted an armoire when I was packaging the file with Clean Installer and I realized it's probably because I'm using Lord Darcy's More Deco Slots. I'm not entirely sure what will happen to the little horse decoration that I placed on top, but look out for any floating objects.
- Lol: The curtains in the living room can be placed diagonally without cheats, but when I playtested, the fucktards that sims are were not able to devise a way to pass the diagonal curtains. I had to cheat-place them so that they only took up 1 tile.

Ok so duh I guess the problem was the grass decoration. I didn't think it was since I could still place the smaller lots. I needed to use a lot of grass to cover the concrete and whether I could place the lot or not had to do with the concentration of the grass. Oops sorry it was so obvious Sad The game could have told me there was a neighborhood decoration in the way instead of just bein a bitch.

Did you check to make sure that there are no small neighborhood decorations in that area?  I once saw this problem caused by a (tiny) street sign.

Is the road completely flat?  Lots don't like to place on uneven roads.

It should be completely flat. I've smoothed and leveled to the street with the modify terrain cheat at least like 10 times. And besides the grass, the only decorations nearby are that arched gate and the pond but I was having trouble even before I placed those. What I think is most infuriating about this problem is the game doesn't even tell you why you can't place the lot, it just won't let you Angry

Hi guys Angry Angry Angry

So don't you hate neighborhood terrains too and how they never ever let you place your lots where you want them for seemingly no reason at all? I added a downtown to my hood last night starting with the Pleasantview terrain which is supa flat and stuff but there's still like an entire street I can't place lots on Cry See pic:



That's a 3x5 lot I think and the only lots I can place in that area can have a length no larger than 2 (that is, two tiles toward the water) but they can be as wide as I like. I've used the modifyneighborhoodterrain cheat, leveling and smoothing that area to no end. Iz totally flat right? Embarrassed I've even moved back the grass decorations to see if that was prohibiting me but it didn't do nothin.

I have NL, Pets, Seasons, FT and AL. Why this happen?? D:

Mine's almost done I think maybe ayayayayaya

Erry, well I don't really go for contemporary houses but I'll tell you what I think anyway. I like the little bit of color you added with the carpet and I wish there was some more elsewhere. I mean yeah duh it's supposed to have that sterile look I guess but I think you could make things a little more interesting with like, maybe some architectural details maybe or something idk. Not necessarily with color but I kind of think of comtep houses as geometrical sculptures or some shit and right now your house is just feeling a little bland for me. I'm not sure exactly what I mean by architectural details but I might play around with stages and fences or something. I think when used with the constrainfloorelevation false cheat you can get some cool results but I suck at that stuff so I hate it. The soccer net feels like a space filler to me and I think some kind of garden or decorated yard would look better.

ciane, I'm someone who can occasionally appreciate Maxian architecture and decorating, but I still wish your house deviated more from the original. The cute exterior along with the indoor deck flooring make your house feel very cozy despite the fact that it is rather spacious. The kitchen sink by the window on a separate counter space is cool and interesting, but realistically (because The Sims is ALL about realism dontcha know) I think you should have another on the other counter group. It just seems like kind of a long walk from the stove or the fridge to the sink. And that like doesn't matter at all I guess, it just feels awkward. Also, that bathroom NEEDS a sink.

Erry again, I like this entry better than your first. I like the open kitchen/dining area, and the stairs coming up from the basement floor next to that area. And the colors. It gives me a cozy posy feeling.

Sipu von Sapu, really cool man. I love the kitchen, it's so cozy. I never thought of placing a rug like you did at the front door, really cool man. This may sound dumb and is probably only a personal peeve, but maybe if someone agrees with me then I wouldn't feel so dumb anymore, but those chairs you used in the dining area... They are so kitchen-y. Those are totally kitchen chairs right? It wouldn't bother me if you didn't already have that little nook in the kitchen, but as a separate dining area maybe it could be a little more formal? Ugh sorry I got nothing. You totally work Maxis shit. I love the way the objects are kind of clashing with each other but at the same time making sweet love. Check out that fugly ass table by the grill! So ugly, who even uses that?! I know many would just plop down the same old wooden deck table, but gurl u so unique. Also, second floor hall flooring choice as opposed to more hardwood: mmmm. I would normally find your abuse of the flowery terrain texture offensive and hurtful, but yeah mmm I'm feelin' it tonight.
