chimera1999 Original Poster Test Subject Join Date: Apr 2012 Posts: 6 Thanks: 132 in 3 Posts 4 Achievements	I uploaded a building twice but it was rejected. it says that the building has a flat roof, and architecture design is bad and there should be a landscape. To begin with, this is a modern house that there is no suitable roof for it except for flat roof. secondly, the building was rejected for architecture design in the first time - ok, i admit it was stupid looking house - but i spent many hours improving the design and the look of the house, but another rejection. I have seen a lot of buildings in this website some of them were not so good looking and some were boxy, so i can't understand what the hell is wrong with my building. And about the landscape, they say trees must be included but in this house i couldn't find a appropriate place to place trees it just made the house ugly. and there are many modern houses in the game with no plant. Can anyone help? please I included some of the pictures of the building Screenshots

If you don't want to do what you feel will spoil your creation, there are other sites who can host your work that have different submission criteria. In the end it has to be about your creativity and self-expression, or it stops being fun Though... can I just suggest you might try one more time with an extra level, reduced to 4 clicks high, to make the roof area? The top of the house comes just a tad too abrubtly on top of the windows, and I don't think you could get one made like that in real life. Alternatively edge the top with a short CAStable fence.

Also maybe change out the door, or recolour it so it goes with the rest of the theme. Also would be nice to see some paint and flooring in the pool instead of the standard one Same goes for the benches and columns. They don't fit in with the theme, and it's generally nice to see items recoloured instead of being placed as they are in the house. That way it makes it a bit more unique! Also, personally, I would take the whole fencing one tile in, so that you have grass on the outer side and can place a couple of flowers here and there. That way it won't look to sterile.

You might find the Creator Feedback area a good place to post for advice on a rejected creation. It's here:

I agree with the people who've posted so far and I hope you'll keep tweaking the house because overall it looks really nice

Try looking at modern gardening/landscaping styles on the web to give you some more ideas. Maybe you could lose one of the pools or make one smaller, especially the one at the front of the lot? What is your house like inside? Strategically placed plants can bring a lot to life. Keep going, it's almost there, keep posting here and we'll help you. Looking forward to the updates

The columns definitely should be more modern. I like the design and understand that some don't want/have a yard to maintain, but more plants would add some life. Also, consider recoloring the edge of the floor on the deck - maybe pick up the teal/blue of the patio. (I usually have to make it considerably darker to look like the same color, though.) Maybe recolor the roof, too. Very nice! Good job and good luck with the upload!

levini Instructor Join Date: Sep 2009 Posts: 473 Thanks: 700 in 5 Posts 7 Achievements View My Journal	Rather than Friezes Why not that short Foundation thingy to the roof areas? no distortion, no Mess, and Easier to work with and small enough not to make the house look too large EDIT: I meant stage. My brain is fried today.

whiterider Oh, My! Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 14,645 Thanks: 27831 in 58 Posts 30 Achievements View My Journal	In Sims terms, a freeze is just foundation on the roof. It raises the height of the roof and allows you to use pretty wall covering to make the roof stand out (if you want to).

Inge Jones Mad Poster Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 6,879 Thanks: 7430 in 17 Posts 18 Achievements	Yeah but they're so high that I don't like to use them for this style of house. I have seen several modern houses with them, and the only ones they really look good on are where the builder has used actual one-tile closed areas as pillars, in which case it matches the thickness of the frieze. I'd use the stage for this, like someone else suggested. The house is too light in structure for a frieze.

You can start playing with constrainfloorelevation like Inge Jones suggested to get a 4 click high roof. TheSimSupply show you how to make that roof in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG3p...d9nJdjcGV3R8%3D
