Thanks for the welcome and advice. I have a couple things I'd love some help on, so I'll post a thread soon.



Ah, wow! Thank you, that really made me smile. It's such a nice feeling to be able to give something back after being a content leech for years, haha. I'm just happy someone likes them enough to take them! I appreciate the welcome. I will be sure to post a proper thread to get help from the league of masters here as soon as I suss out the inspirational problems with my last lot on that contest. Thanks again.

(I typed this once and the site ate it! *shakes fist*)

Hello everyone

I'm GreenPhoenix, and I'm a TS3 world/lots/sims builder and story-writer (in German tho). attuned is currently testing my latest world, and has been kind enough to point out this group to me. MTS is still pretty new for me. Although I have been a member for some years, I have never taken a look around in smth else than the download section.
Now my buiIding skills have evolved to a point, where I feel comfortable enough to share my work, so others can have fun with it too.
I'm happy to get feedback, and give some back if i can.

Can't wait to get all nit-picky on your homes. Nah Jk, Wilkommen GreenPhoenix

Welcome GreenPhoenix
You may want to start a thread here with the link to your world thread in Creator feedback. You could move it here, but you can only have it in one place, and it is all settled and tucked in over at CFF.

If you are have questions or want feedback about a specific lot, or if you have world building questions, feel free to add that to the thread you start here.

Howdie all
I don't know how I haven't found this group before... I LOVE to build [for TS2]. That's how I "play" the game - I build. LOL!
You can find my uploaded lots here.

In RL right now we are moving into our new house in just a few days - actually, after Hurricane Irma is done and gone. (We're in central Florida.) We were set to 'close' on Monday... we may have to wait for re-inspections after the storm *sigh* Anywho... after we move I'm planning on being more active in the TS2 community again. So, joining here is my first step - give me a few weeks to get settled, and I'll be back!

Hi @CatherineTCJD
Welcome to Mentoring4Builders! I am a big fan of your creations. Be safe in the storm.

Welcome!!

What? Where? Who? Oh yes, it's me, and I'm here! I'm Elynda (retired ballet dancer, failed author, part-time fairy queen etc, etc). And when I'm not telling increasingly complexed and incomprehensible sims stories I do build stuff. If it's for storytelling I'll use whatever cc I can find that will help set the scene and make it interesting. But I have one or two projects in hand which I'd like eventually to upload to MTS and those will be strictly base game. To that purpose I am using my trusty old PC, which only has the base game installed - that way I can be sure it really is base game.

Sounds lovely, Elynda, and welcome to the group! Looking forward to seeing some more of your projects

Welcome Elynda
Basegame is super-tricky to build in (I think) - is there really still a market for BG only builds?
Good luck to ya

Hmm, maybe you're right. It was just that I thought I'd make life easy for myself for my first upload. But trying work on one of my houses today I began to think that perhaps I'd limited my options too much. Maybe re-think is in order here.

When you upload items here, you only have to "declare" (give credit and a link) to custom created items.
If an item came with a game pack or the UC - so long as you have all the right EP/SP/UC boxes ticked - the upload wizard swooshes right by it
Don't make things harder for yourself than is necessary! LOL!

Elynda if you are speaking of TS2, I completely agree with CatherineTCJD, no reason to restrict yourself to base game. If you are referring to TS3, base game builds are still very popular, thanks, I think, to the wonders of CASt. I have 10 lots uploaded at MTS, 8 are base game. I don't think building base game only is easier, however. If anything, I think it is more of a challenge. Downloaders for TS3 prefer builds that don't use SPs and use a minimal amount of cc. The best thing about base game builds are that anyone can download them. Good luck and we are here when you need us.

There still is a lot of demand for BG houses indeed, kinda amazing after almost a decade.

*taps mic* Um, hello. I'm aisquared, or ai for short. I build mostly for TS3 and upload some here occasionally. I'm looking forward to learning with you guys, and hopefully I could lend a helping hand in this group someday (so sorry I just decided joining now. I think I'm a latecomer..)

Hi ai and welcome!

Hey there, I'm orose, which is a shortened form of the sn I've had for the last... geez, 14 years or so? I answer to that and Ren, along with about fifteen thousand other nicknames so I'm not too fussy about what I get called I love TS3, and while I detour into TS4 sometimes (after completely ignoring its existence for about 3 years, lol) it's still my favorite. I'm looking forward to getting better at building because I still find myself designing oddly squarish homes 90% of the time, lol, though I do love designing the interiors afterwards, haha.

Hi guys I'm Sika. My username is such a faceroll but whatever. Basically, I am beginner when it comes to building. I never really did build much, most of my houses are from gameplay that started out as a square and grew as more funding was acquired. I exclusively play TS3 now, so I'm interested in bettering my building in TS3. I'd like to get better in furniture placement, and roofing mostly... because I suck at those. I line stuff up against walls and there's always this big wide space in the center I don't know what to do with.

Welcome aisquared, orose and tysika! Happy to have you here and looking forward to see your builds! I'm very excited to see more TS3 builders here

I'm Tunafishfish, you can call me Tuna. I hale from the US, near DC and play TS3 exclusively, but used to play sim city as a kid. I'm currently playing a Nothing is Free challenge which requires me to build a town from scratch. I'm using a mixture of rabbit holes from the community objects bin, shell buildings/rabbit hole rugs, houses downloaded from here, and houses I'm building. I shoot for realism, which requires a certain amount of boxiness...

Hi Tuna- welcome and feel free to jump right in!

Hi there! I'm excited to have found this group (don't know why it took me so long!)! I build in TS3 exclusively and tend toward current upscale suburban style. I'm also working on building a world, so all of my lot builds right now are for that. I really want to get better / more imaginative at building community lots!

Welcome @Crashley1784
If you are looking for feedback and/or help, just make a thread here I'm looking forward to your builds and world!

Hi Crashley- I believe I have responded to some of your questions in the Create forums. We have several experienced world creators in the group, so you are in the right place.
When you start a thread, be sure to start the title with TS3 or Sims 3. Thanks and welcome!

Hey guys! My name is Kristi aka darkflwrs. I've been playing the Sims 3 for near a decade. I love building and after discovering CAW that's almost exclusively what I do. I love building from blue prints or Zillow and the like. I'm currently working on a world based on New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Been working on it for 6 years and am getting close to being able to upload. I will post it on here to see if you guys can help out as I'm struggling with a few build issues and screenshots. Thanks for the invite to this group @attuned .
