Author Topic: Unfinished House  (Read 1309 times)

I decided to post pictures of a house I worked on after the S&S update, the construction of the house itself is finished, but the furnishing is not and I doubt I will ever get around to finishing it, this was my first time building since around v8 and I tried to give this house the look of somewhere that people lived.
The reason I decided to post images of it was to get feedback on what I did do in an attempt to find out which parts I could improve upon in the future, I do not think I will ever complete this due to several personal problems with the build itself and some issues with the environment settings that I cannot be bothered to tweak until they look right.

Ratings out of 10 are allowed but I would much prefer actual criticism and advice, thanks.


Overview - Angle 1


Overview - Angle 2


Combined decking and patio area


Foyer


Dining area


Kitchen (and my pet snowflake)


Living Room/Lounge



These images are all of the ground floor, the second floor consists of three rooms, the bathroom, the office and the bedroom, none of which are furnished or lighted.
That is all I have to show and this concludes what is probably my only gallery thread in five years of being here, I hope my design choices didn't make you gouge out your eyes too bad and I'd appreciate any advice on how not to make you do that with the appearance of my builds, thanks

I like it, but the gutter seems to bulge out too much. Try using verticle print bricks for that.

Anyways, 9/10.

The exterior is too white. Make the railings a brown of some sort. And flowers and green grass when it's snowing? Interior could use different wall colors for different rooms. Your couches and chairs look a bit weird.

Other than those things^, it's pretty good for not building since v8!

Glass stairs? "KIDS! NO THROWING ROCKS!" *smash* "THE STAIRS!!!"

The exterior was never painted, I tend to build the actual building in white and then colour it in last, the snow is just a general usage environment setup that I actually made in preparation for a completely different project and I know the chairs look weird but the couch looks pretty decent close-up.

Thanks, though

Ceilings a little low.

Wait, you say you made this in v8?

There are bar fences... pole bricks.. and more bricks that were not made in v8.

no he said this is the first time he tried building since v8

Ceilings a little low.

Ceiling is 6 bricks high, ample headroom for blockheads.
It looks lower than it is because I was orbing while taking these screenshots

i don't see any real home having 6'9" high ceilings

you should stick with 7 at least, 8 if you can.

But it isn't a real home, it's a home for blockheads and it comes with enough headroom for a blockhead to move around comfortably


5/10 pretty bland

10/10 really told me how to make it less bland, A+ would rate again
