It's late in the UK so I will add up the scores and post them tomorrow when I'm less tired so less likely to make a mistake.

Build skill: 4.5
It’s an interesting build, rather eclectic, with parts of it looking modern and some traditional. The space has bee utilised well.
Furnishing/decorating skill: 4
There is a mixed style of decorating going on here too. I’m not sure that it all goes well together either, in my opinion.
Playability: 5
All looks very playable.
Campus theme: 4
Not really matching the other builds. But I can see elements of science in there.

I really like what you did with this lot. You put a lot of detail and interest into it.
Furnishing/decorating skill: 4.5
I really love the bar area with the string of lights and the lovely trellis with the plant. WCIF? The pond also looks lovely, although a day time picture would have helped me see the details better. I do feel though that there are slightly too many different things going on with the windows, foundations and patterns, especially in the indoor sitting area. Apart from that I love how you used the rustic wood and made a fun and cosy space for your students.

The buildings don’t match your first as you know but I’m glad to see the chess set amongst the things to do. I also like that you used science ideas in your decorating.

Nice; but, not a ‘wow’. I really like the terrain paint and grounds - outstanding work on those.
Decorating Skill: 4.5
This is believably decorated - it looks ‘lived in’ - in a good sense. I’d like to see some more ‘Science’ specific items.
Playability: 5
I don’t see any playability/routing issues.
Theme: 4
Stated, and obvious objects included, but it just doesn’t seem cohesive in and of itself. I like the idea of “evolution” (which is certainly science related!) And, I see you have the natural outdoor area, and an indoor rustic looking area, a modern dance floor, a more Victorian-ish building facade and a more modern one... But, I think each area needs to be MORE obviously themed. You used CC - so go for it!
Each house and each floor could’ve been a different time period: Caveman pond, Tiki Terrace, Woodland/pioneer sitting area, 40’s/50’s Mid-Century Games room, 70’s/80’s Disco Dance Sphere [and bar], and a Futuristic Dance Club - all chrome and glass and light-wave-ey. Know what I mean?

I like how you’ve divided up the space here. I feel you could have added in some green rooms for the actors/performers too. I like the ticket booths and your outside terrace.

Furnishing/decorating skill: 4
The theatre has a good atmosphere and I like the little ticket booth and outside area. Nothing eye popping though and why oh why are you showing me those urinals?! Not that I am taking any points off anyone for using them, but I find them rather gross as I’ve said at least three times now! Looks at the pound instead. Very pleasant but as you said it’s somewhat plain.

I’m not ‘wowed,’ but I really like it. I like the style you’ve chosen to use for your campus. On this building, I like the look of the bay windows from the outside; but, they really aren’t practical in a theatre because they’d let in too much light. I love the nice big terrace - what a great place for intermission, and to hang-out after a performance (or rehearsals!)
Decorating Skill: 4
As you said, “quite plain,” - yes. But the panelled walls and wood-backed chairs give it a realistic atmosphere. A few posters in the lobby and staircases would’ve helped. And adding a few ‘waiting’ couches in the lobby might be a good idea too.
Playability: 5
No issues that I can see

I am in awe of your use of color! It is vibrant and makes a statement, without blaring in my eyes. Your builds so far for this contest have all been crisp, clean, and comfortable. Artistic, especially in a ‘staging’ sort of way - in other words, you set the stage beautifully for an art themed campus.

I love how you used the flooring as decoration in this lot. There’s not a lot of ‘deco’ clutter here, but the floor dresses it up perfectly.

It's late in the UK so I will add up the scores and post them tomorrow when I'm less tired so less likely to make a mistake.
Want a specific style of house or community building? Why not take a look at my profile and see what I build and then come ask me to make it!
