    thanks for these tips!!! the tip to come back to a build with a fresh set of eyes is sooo important. I used to rush myself to finish a build and be done as if there was a deadline. also CFE is extremely powerful and I will sometimes sit and play around with it to see how much I can manipulate a build using it. Definitely one of my favorites that i'm still learning how to use. I can't wait for the decor tips 👏👏

    • @plumdot
      @plumdot  Рік тому +3

      You're welcome m'dear! I know I'm a slow builder so I'm always looking with fresh pair of eyes but it's so helpful!
      I probably haven't even scratched the surface of what's possible with CFE after all these years of building. I have manipulated roofs before to have a proper attic, but I can't remember how I did it 😂😂

    Thanks for the tips and tricks! Funny enough, the half-tips were the ones I actually didn't know yet. For interiors, I always struggle with lighting my builds properly. Either everything becomes a superbright, reflective surface, or I get really dark spots. I'd love to hear how you approach this.

    i havent played the sims 3 in SOOO long. im getting really annoyed with the sims 4 and so ive broke out my old sims 3 disks [also im tempted to buy the sims 2 again! LOL] and installed the ones i wanted to play with. and i just realised, ive forgotten how to build in the sims 3! like i remember a few tips but not many. its been years. like before the sims 4 got vampires! [the supernatural pack was my fav in the sims 3] so this is very helpful for jogging my memory, but also learning a few new things! the first two tips [planning but also the bump outs to avoid bad roofing] is still useful for ALL sims games. legit saved my ass in the sims 4 before i fully learnt roofing there! lol! thanks for this video! im so glad that people still play the sims 3. I think more and more people are going back to it because they are over how badly EA treats the sims 4 users. theyve really turned money hungry! i thought it was bad when the sims 3 was the latest game [with the store and everything] but honestly, least we got good packs that were worth our money, the sims 4 packs arent worth it... not like the sims 3 and sims 2 packs. as a long time simmer its really sad. :( anyways hope you enjoyed my rant! thank you for this video!

    I remember when sims 3 first came out and i begged my parents to get it for me. 1 year after its release, they caved and got if for me. I played it none stop. The only reason i stopped is because no laptop or PC i can afford can play it. The moment i download ANYTHING, the game freezes, crashes, and all my effort is lost. I cant build my dream haunted mansion because my computers cant handle more than 50 canlde wall mounts.

      Hmm, I'm not 100% sure why it wouldn't let you pull it one square to the left. I've just watched it back and I'm wondering if maybe you have to pull the wall in from the inside rather than push the wall in from the outside. 🤔
