Home Switch Building & Design Contest - CLOSED WINNERS ANNOUNCED

As usual, I have a couple more questions. Do we need to label our rooms in one of the photos? Do we paint the exterior of our house we build? Can I put a patio and/or a pool or is that considered part of the decorating? Is the decorating just for the inside? I built my house but I'm not sure how much to do.

You can put a patio and a pool, and paint the exterior, as well as landscape. It's up to you whether you want to label the rooms or not.

So I guess that means mine is ok. Looking forward to part 2.

Can't wait to get started. But my sim computer is down today. Guess the fun will have to wait for tomorrow.

Using the color pallette is more difficult than I thought it would be. I keep wanting to use colors not on the pallette.

Question about the color scheme do we use it on everything or can we use other wood and metal colors? Thank you.

Two other questions.

Can we expand on the landscaping that is already there?

How many Hobby items do we need? I'm having a hard time fitting everything.

I am fine with you expanding on the landscaping, just don't make any structure changes to the house. And yes you may use textures that are not colors on the palette, like metals and woods.

Sounds great. Thank you for the help

I can't believe tomorrow is the deadline, so much work left to do.

I know. And today is tomorrow now!! I think I am pretty much done just need to take pictures and upload. But I always feel like I should do one more thing!

I stayed up last night and got a lot done. So now I just need to finish the outside, and upload.

Well I will judge this probably tomorrow evening cause my head is killing me currently, and I work tomorrow afternoon. So you have until then to either post some photos here, or at least put a link to a slideshow of the photos.

Thanks Whisp. It must be my computer. I tried putting pics on and my internet browser closed on me. Then I tried doing it again and my computer froze! I give up! I put the slideshow link though.
