Forum: The Think Tank

How would you work a decorating faux pas? In your haste to decorate your first space and claim it as your own You have gone an choosen wallpaper, paint colors and accessories that looked smashing for the Season you where in at that time, BUT now how do you use that same theme to decorate for the...

I don't remember seeing too much on the Victorian era as far as building and decorating. Here are a few pics for inspiration:

I don't know if this has already been suggested, but I did a cruise on a barge and it was great, so I propose to decorate a barge as if it were a house, taking into account the size and fact that it is still a boat.

So I'm listening to the song "The Only Exception" by Paramore and looking through the forum, fall upon the Think Tank, and I am hit by a suggestion! Hold a contest inspired by a song (maybe the one I'm listening to :love0001). For example (using the song above): create 2 Sims that are a couple....

Another contest idea from long ago: You are given a very simple floor plan, one bedroom, one-floor home. In each round, you had to decorate in one of four styles: modern, Asian, mission and country. You could change the doors and windows, but not the placement. You could not add or remove...

There was a contest at Simbella's several years ago called "Without Wood". You had to build, furnish and decorate a house with NO wood or wood textures at all. It was very challenging! Might this be a good theme for a BPS contest?

I'm watching Design Star All-Stars, the last show. And the last 3 designers have to design rooms in a re purposed STORAGE CONTAINER, actually, it's a shipping container! It's 7 x 20, they have to make room for sleeping, kitchen and a sitting area. Plus a small deck off the front, a little bit...

I suppose thinking about it this is a bit like the tiny gardens contest that's being run in the members section. I was looking for something earlier today and got given this image in my search and I thought it might make good theme for a contest. People often convert their garden sheds for...

Hello Sweet Pearlers!!! I would like to see a contest called Copy Cat or something along those lines. This is a contest where you can choose a designer pic of a room or house of your choice...but then you have to be able to copy it as much as possible...considering our sims custom content may...

I didn't want to be first, but I guess it's o.k. I don't know if this has been done before, but I was thinking of a Secret Garden. When I was little we lived in an old 3-story Victorian, and it has the most besutiful garden in the back, closed off with picket fencing and completly over-grown with...

Hi Here's my idea : a little apartment (2 bedroom max) with one of the bedroom empty and the rest of the apartment furnished with the basics (kitchen, bed, couch etc...) with CC that has a lot of existing recolors (for exemple BuggyBooz kitchen, Mira's Shelves etc...) so that contestants who don't...

Inspired by Marci's request, I had this idea of ​​competition. As the title says it is about small houses. In the example pictures you can see what I mean:

What I mean by this is you pick an item IE. apple.....white grapes...peones.....old rusty door.....then we use that item as our inspiration, you could even go as far as assinging room sizes, function, adult child or infants room indoors outdoors .....Just a thought :)

I actually thought of this while decorating a mans bedroom. Might be neat to decorate a room where men do....whatever men do in there. Watch sports, play games etc... just a thought :)

I know we haven't done any Just 5 recoloring contests for a while, and I'd love it if we could do more of those. I'm happy to host until school starts.Then after that I'd obv need to focus on my studies, but for the rest of the summer I'm game. Would any of the Mods be willing to let us do this? I...

It's similar to Eco living, but it has a rural side to it. Building chicken coops in the comfort of an urban backyard, or have a plot of land, to having no electricty, living like generations past. An example: http://modernhomesteadingtoday.com/ People build their own furniture. If it is too...

Some buildings ideas and the best will be on the next phase (of course the buildings would be free for dowloand). Ex: 1 round restaurants! so we choose 6 diferents restaurants ...and those creator will be next round. 2 round schools! we choose a daycare a kindergarden, a primary school and a...

I'm not sure if this has been done yet but I thought it'd be neat to do a college dorm or even a frat or sorority house. Maybe they just had a party and it's trashed. Hopefully, nobody thinks I'm promoting under-age drinking!

This would be a great DOR or Style It.

I would love to see a challenge with changingrooms... This could mean stuff like the changingrooms of parisean showgirls (moulin rouge like), trashy strip dancers, a high league football team or the backstage area of Madonna or one of this american television preachers lol... Someone would...
