Abode Creations - TS3 Style

[Avelina]

what? do you want a wide shot to see the whole thing?

[yuichen]

Yep. We're supposed to be seeing how the abode looks, after all

[Avelina]

Here is a sky view of the new house I'm building. I screwed up the inside though so I will have to redo it :/

[yuichen]

I'm glad you didn't decide to scrap this one as well. It's looking good so far

[Avelina]

yea. so am I. gotta love the sloped driveway too XD

I've been working on a custom apartment building the last couple days based loosely off a S2 building I did. There's four apartments over two upper levels and half of the "basement". The basement shares a gym.






The basement apartment patio.

No pics of the inside yet. I wanted to have a different version for each usable apartment so people could choose which one they want. Unfortunately I found an issue with the hidden marker and foundations. It doesn't see the foundation wall as a wall, so it wont hide. I ended up going one tile away from it so it does hide more, but I don't know if it would bother people. The apartments are also quite expensive so I don't know what else it's counting in the price :/

[Avelina]

it looks gorgeous so far! I love the basement apartment patio. looks very cozy. I wanna live there

[yuichen]

I figured I'd have to do something to dress it up seeing as there's nothing but ugly concrete "retaining wall" so stare at.

[Avelina]

you can't cover it up with paint or whatever?

[yuichen]

Nah. When you use the hide marker and go back to live mode, the room where the marker was goes black so your game doesn't have to work it's ass off showing what is going on everywhere. Think of University in S2 but blacked out. As long as there are real walls around, it will black out, but foundation walls confuse it. Maybe it thinks it's outside or something.

Like I said, I fixed it so there's less showing but I don't know if it would be an eyesore to people who send their sims downstairs to the gym, or do laundry in the little room I left space for. I guess I can just put a warning up. Actually, I should send you the basement apartment one itself to make sure it will even install.

[Avelina]

hm. ok. well. I think it'll look great anyway. I surely hope it works though.

[yuichen]

It's functional as an apartment at least :p

[Avelina]

well that's good!

[yuichen]

I need to get the price down though. No one just starting out will be able to afford it.

[Avelina]

how much are they?
