I would like my house on s59 to be critiqued thanks!

Well it describes the pony who lives there I plan this for all houses I hate to leave a house without a story.

To put it straight, your house needs a bit more work before it can pass the test, I'm afraid.

 

Exterior Flaws:

  • The color palette is spruce logs and sandstone, not birch wood.
  • The roof's a bit unbalanced, not to mention funnily shaped.
  • Lack of windows and shutters for them.
  • Flowers on top of the entrance that no one can get to. Put windows, or a balcony.
  • General lack of depth and square sides. Remember, while this will pass fine for a survival house, a creative house needs a bit more detail.

Interior Flaws:

  • Furniture's a bit scattered around, don't you think?
  • Add partitions to divide room, it makes for a better ambiance.
  • Try more variants of furniture colors.  /warp ikea
  • Bedroom looks too plain, try checking out the accepted Ponyville builds for ideas.
  • Empty third floor.
  • Lack of toilet or study.

Gotta focus on those points, but remember, while I can try my best, always seek out the reviews of others just to be sure.

I've looked this over, and agree completely with the critique Ymlong gave, but I want to correct one thing


  • The color palette is spruce logs and sandstone, not birch wood.
 
 



I believe Ym is misstaken here.
Birch wood, while deffinetely not common in showcase Ponyville, has been mentioned as acceptable material.

What is recommended however, is either sand or sandstone, as it more clearly carries the white-washed feeling of Ponyville houses, but anything between sand, sandstone and birch wood is classed as acceptable.



Also, While I can only say I certanley doubt admins will bother with it when judging, we Builders cannot acess the chest you have at the front door, so whatever you planned with it cannot be conveyed properly to us
