Building is one of the largest sections on Modthesims.info. It is also one of the first things that an aspiring creator will approach when creating content for upload. It is easy enough to do and with some real elbow grease they can turn out really well. But, this section is geared to making your houses more than just another lot approved on site. No no, this section has a wide variety of tutorials to teach you things that you might not have even known about! As you work your way down, you'll notice each tutorial is located in it's own section, with video tutorials being at the very bottom. Whether you are just approaching or an old creator looking for something new, this section has something new to teach you!
