@Michaeltjuhh: I'd love to see blueprints shared on MTS! I'm not very good at building myself and part of my motivation to create this was the hope to download blueprints from the community.

@Quantum_Reality: I run my The Sims 3 game in windowed mode, which makes switching to desktop fairly easy. "Unzip the BlueprintMaker folder in the zip" simply means to copy the folder from the zip to the hard drive somewhere (because you can't run the executable from the zip).

I feel like I could finally build my dream house!
Life on the sims 3 just got 10x's more easier and fun for me. Even with the simple "base" blueprints given during the seasons update, my house building was still pretty....yeah a epic fail for me . But this could help me in ways I never ever ever imagined! Epic toast to you!

P.S: I'll defiantly dedicate my first house made with this mod to ya

At last! At last! Blueprint is finally usable, because to me, it's worthless if it isn't customizable. Thank you very much for making Blueprint usable.

Although I won't be using this myself, this is one of the most innovative mods I've seen on this website. Intelligent and fantastic, thank you!

Wow. EA should be told about this because they should add it to their games. This is brilliant.

Wow. This is incredibly brilliant. I am so glad that someone has finally done this. I would nominate you as Modder of the Year if I weren't so sure that dear Twallan would win.

Thank you!!

You are my Hero! I really mean it! This is something I was waitting for a very, very long time!

As I read in the comments here, I can run a Blue Print Maker with the game on. But I gues I have to shut the game down, to put rooms to the game?

WOW! This is so awesome. I'm not great at building or decorating, so the thought of possibly being able to share or download other blueprints from talented builders is amazing! Thanks a thousand!!!

Can't wait to try this out! I enter a lot of decor contests that often only require one room to be decorated. Usually once the contest is done the room just gets forgotten about but now I can recycle them on MTS! ...as long as I can find them all among my graveyard of old saves XD

Thanks :D

@SamIAm2: Hehe. Well, The Sims 3 leaves so many opportunities to mod that there's a lot of place for different kinds of modders.

@anie_1981: The Blueprint Maker consists of two parts: One which has to be used while you are in game and the other that is a separate application that creates a package mod. That package with the blueprint has to be installed like any other (which means you have to restart the game at that point). The blueprint itself is then added like any other blueprint, in game in build/buy mode. I hope this answers your question.

good job velocitygrass!! I haven't downloaded it yet, but I will later on tonight. There are a few templates that I will give a try mainly for cloning purposes like castle turrets. Thanks for creating this...

I tried to create my own blueprints, but it didn't work out. That is why I have several questions:

1. Can I use CC in the rooms?
2. Can I use stairs\elevators\swimming pools in the rooms?
3. Can I create blueprints of community lot's rooms?
4. I have no error message, the game lags for a momment, and then it goes back to normal playing, is this normal?
5. Does it conflicts with any mods?
6. Is this matter if the game is paused or not?

I get an error file, but the game says nothing about any error. I could use one error file with the bathroom, but the program said the game will crash if I use it. It was the true, the game crashed :P
