It's always hilarious that after watching these videos I always get inspired to build my own and as soon as I get started BAM! I find out that you also need "talent" and "creativity" when building houses.
Yes, you have to create an account but you don't have to give a card number unless you want the stuff that isn't free. There's so much free stuff so I don't even bother with the other stuff. Once you've downloaded the files you just click to open them and then they should automatically install into your game.
@FlWrestler362 They actually had it on there for half price a couple of days ago. I'm excited that I have a bunch of the stuff that Curtis uses. It always looks so cool.
create a style in the menu for build/buy there is a hand, sledgehammer, and a painter's pallet....the painter's pallet will let you change the style for just about everything....
@Curtis: You were saying about how World Adventures came with basements, well I have none of the Expansion packs and in the end they made a patch that gave you the basement tool. Just saying...please correct me if I am wrong...
@wesselvmil press ctrl shift c and type in 'TestingCheatsEnabled True' then type in 'moveobjectson' once they moved to where you want you can then type in 'moveobjects off' Hope this helped!
To download a house into your game you need to go to the exchange, go on to the house's that you want page and click download to game, then it should appear in your launcher, and install it from there. It should now be in your game the next time you play.
I've never had a problem with my computer crashing due to the site. Now my game has crashed before due to some updates or custom content that I downloaded, but that's a risk you take when you download a lot of custom content. I put mine in files with dates so if I start to have problems with my game I can go back and delete my latest installments. I don't use mods - never really could figure out how to install them. lol.
Hi Curtis, I need your help. I am wanting to build a house like this (I am on Xbox) but when I raise the terrain rock appears (obviously) But when i try to change it back to grass coloured terrain the rock colour doesn't change! I have tried everything, someone help! Thanks.
if you download say one of the newer houses, you've done that have things from the expansion packs and the store and i download the house, will the furniture be gone or will it not let me download at all?
It looks like a house from the series The O.C. I would say, but like it very much. Now I found you on fb too :-)) Great houses, wooow .. but this you already know!
@cowgirlmallory 4 floors upside (Without a ceiliing, you can have a nice 5th floor with nothing to cover you =D), and 4 that can be built with the basement tool (~1.7.9 +)
I am an EXPERT at landscaping (I noticed you mentioned). Building the houses is not at all my skill, all my skill goes towards landscaping and outdoor deco.
Hey, Curtis... so I tried sending a suggestion to your website, but it didn't work. So there's my suggestion: Can you try building a jungle/safari themed house? Like have the home far from the town and have the furniture in each room be a different animal print. You can do any style home you want, (modern, victorian, etc.) but I think it'd be really cool!
@xSnoopyhutsch Custom content is things that you can purchase at the Sims 3 store that Curtis tends to use a LOT. This means that when we download the house, unless you too have purchased the same item, it will be replaced with VERY crappy items (For example, most of his custom couches turn into the cow pattern couch). This makes me very mad when I have to go and replace the items with cool, modern furniture. Hope this helped :)
@Jaciejoycedavid They actually still sell them in a pack for like 6k points, its full of like all that stuff that they dont sell individually anymore. Sucks that they did that though. I had to reinstall some stuff and lost all the things that I had purchased back then.
I really love your speech during the video. :-) Really! Well, I don't like modern architecture, I like the classic houses more, but in my point of view, you made great job. And now I have some new ideas and a...an inspiration, tips how to improve some things. Going to build a new house for my family! :-)
I have to say I'm impressed with your house-building skills. Mine are very plain and very boring if I'm honest with you. I always have humongous families because I get more money cause I like to play without using cheats. I take my hat off to you. Well done. =)
i like you, Curtis, you're really helpful, especially with the infinity pool thing. you gave me some new ideas I'm definitely looking forward to using in my next house creation have you any tips on creating lofts? anyway, thanks for the vids
i think when you build a modern house, you should try building a one or two story house that doesn't look over a bajillion dollars, but you make really nice houses
I wonder how he makes the walls with the base ment (The wall where he puts the door and garage door) tried it out and it just wouldnt work. any one with a clue?
hi am loving your house building videos and i was hoping you could do really nice big house by step for me. i would like to watch you and follow your steps as you do your building please and thanks.
can anyone tell me how i use a downloaded house please im new in this game curtis inspired me to play and now that i have it i do not know how to use a downloaded house cause i really want be able to use them is it is possible
Nice video...however is it just me or does the appliances, beds and many other things look more thrown together (design wise) in this Sims than in Sims 2?
woah I randomly thought of your channel again after playing sims 3 I still remember watching this video when it came out wth
It's always hilarious that after watching these videos I always get inspired to build my own and as soon as I get started BAM! I find out that you also need "talent" and "creativity" when building houses.
I am so addicted to your videos, I have watched almost all of them so far. some I already seen before clicking your link over to the side...lol
@SplashPerson303 Nope, there is no way to get it back, you will have to remake it.
@EOfilm My name is Curtis, not Chris.
My game wont load it freezes at the "contacting EA servers" screen. Any suggestions? (PS3 version)
the date is march 17th or something like that and ive seen all of curtis's house vids and this is defininatly my favorite out of them all

How can you get the ground walls (don't know what to call them) to be bigger/larger when you make a kind of hill..??
i like how many windows you use i think it lets in anough natural light and i like it
@FlWrestler362 They actually had it on there for half price a couple of days ago. I'm excited that I have a bunch of the stuff that Curtis uses. It always looks so cool.
i love the ultra modern look, that furniture is perfect good job
I use the sim resourse because most off the stuff is free and is awsome like eletric drums if you have late night
When you do custom content tell me what type of pack you used
Curtis did an awesome job on landscaping on his dream-house
I like the landscaping. It actually makes the house.
Yaaaa nice house ... always thought u wouldn't do good before but watching em it makes me wanna make one this house is brilant Curtis
@iloveboxers200 i do have very loud speakers..so when you put them in when he says hey! ..u do get a fright
Curits' "i'm so Bored" song at 2:11
Curtis I was wondering if you knew the cheat to attach a foundation to a wall? thanks..
Ur a great land scaper but one tip it gives a cool effect if u put colums in the pool up to a balcaney on the second floor if there is one
OK to make extra stairs you have to Eliminate the floor around it??
I like just watching you make the houses so if you use the store content I don't mind. It can help make the houses more creative and expand varieties
This house is GORGEOUS !! (as are all of ur houses)
It's so weird how he said "no one replied or tweeted me back" because nowadays he'd get hundreds of replies :P proud of you Curtis! ;D
create a style in the menu for build/buy there is a hand, sledgehammer, and a painter's pallet....the painter's pallet will let you change the style for just about everything....
I dont care, if you use it or not. I use them too. The house looks better with that content. You´re pretty cool builder!
How do you make the pool water a different color than the regular turquoise blue?
@Curtis: You were saying about how World Adventures came with basements, well I have none of the Expansion packs and in the end they made a patch that gave you the basement tool. Just saying...please correct me if I am wrong...
How do you get the terrain to connect with the walls? mine won't let me and how do you make the terrain so high up?
the tiles change the colour just go into wall coloring and tiles and change the colour. it's like real life, water is clear. hope i helped.
do what you want to do how do u think u make this amazing houses by doing and using what u want
That's amazing!!! Don't you have any tutorial video about landscaping and all that stuff?
Why do you put the pool so close to the house? Its like if the house colapses the pool will too!
I love all of your videos I ve seen every single one!!!!!
dude how did you connect the front basement wall and the like pattoe thing when
I tried something simalar it wouldn't work
can i ask you quetion how can you make everything so easy expecially the ground ?
@wesselvmil press ctrl shift c and type in 'TestingCheatsEnabled True'
then type in 'moveobjectson' once they moved to where you want you can then type in 'moveobjects off'
Hope this helped!
Can you only put some sign on houses with custom content?
could you possibly allow us to download the houses off your website and not just on the sims3 exchange?
To download a house into your game you need to go to the exchange, go on to the house's that you want page and click download to game, then it should appear in your launcher, and install it from there. It should now be in your game the next time you play.

i like LOOKING at the downloaded content, but when you use it it dosn't show up once downloaded D':
if you download say one of the newer houses, you've done that have things from the expansion packs and the store and i download the house, will the furniture be gone or will it not let me download at all?
It looks like a house from the series The O.C. I would say, but like it very much. Now I found you on fb too :-)) Great houses, wooow .. but this you already know!
how did you move the mailbox? I have the sims 2 and i always wondered how
@cowgirlmallory 4 floors upside (Without a ceiliing, you can have a nice 5th floor with nothing to cover you =D), and 4 that can be built with the basement tool (~1.7.9 +)
Could you build a big house with a front garden with flowerbeds and a back garden with a swimming pool?
How do you change the patterns so quick? ik its like 2x fast in the video then what ur actually doin but still,.
He was talking about World Adventures. If you look at the date, this video was made in 2009

I am an EXPERT at landscaping (I noticed you mentioned). Building the houses is not at all my skill, all my skill goes towards landscaping and outdoor deco.
I think the landscaping was really good... it looked like a mini forest... :)

@EdensThing no this was created 3 years ago and they didnt have any basement tool then like we have now.

Curtis, you should use actual CC (FRESH PRINCE IS AWESOME!!) CC comes bundled with the houses that i download (no pre-download required)
@xSnoopyhutsch Custom content is things that you can purchase at the Sims 3 store that Curtis tends to use a LOT.

I need help with my Sims 3. Everytime I go to play the game it freezes. I dont know why but it won't let me on i tryed everything. :(
I downloaded this house and your Modern Delight house. I love it!
the custom content will be added to edit mode if it comes with a house that you have imported from the exchange :)

Hi, TheCurtisParadisShow i have a question how do u stick the foudation with the wall?

Can you build the salvators-brothers house! but it is a hard house to build
@EpicCheesyBiscuit809 No,you have to buy Simpoints, then spend the simpoints on store items.
i like you, Curtis, you're really helpful, especially with the infinity pool thing. you gave me some new ideas I'm definitely looking forward to using in my next house creation have you any tips on creating lofts? anyway, thanks for the vids
how do you get points for te store because some things are free but how do you get some points
i think when you build a modern house, you should try building a one or two story house that doesn't look over a bajillion dollars, but you make really nice houses
i have saw every video of yours and my favorite one is the dream house
How long does it take you to practice building a house? Or how many times do yo re-build the house or something on the house until you get it right?
I wonder how he makes the walls with the base ment (The wall where he puts the door and garage door) tried it out and it just wouldnt work. any one with a clue?
Ever use moveObjects on?
could u make a small house built on top of a pool?
Keep doing custom things!! They look awesome in your houses!!
