What can you do?
I’ll give you a couple of tips on how to make your creation eye-catching the second it’s uploaded. The hard work you have to do yourself, but hopefully these tips will work for you!
Lighting
The human eye LOVES contrast, and the eyes will instantly go to something with lots of depth and contrast. Which is why in many cases I choose to upload my creations during night-time. They look very good in day, but the night makes them pop! Place lights on all corners, entrances, patios, windows, and everywhere else the structure can be highlighted. It will make a beautiful glow when you’re creative with light-placement and it definitely creates depth and contrast!
Fountains
What is it with fountains that just makes us happy? -They’re sparkly, shiny and idyllic! It’s clearly not a must to have a fountain, but if you place them in front of the house you will get a massive feeling of depth, and adding some lights gives you even more eye-catching contrast.
Landscape and scenario
It gives off a good impression if your creation “belongs” in it’s surroundings. So if you make a club, or a modern city-house don’t place it on the country side, try and find a lot in the middle of the city to get skyscrapers and light in the background. And if you want to make a beach house, most of the scenarios in Oasis Springs are surrounded with sand, palms and orange rocks and mountains.
Try landscaping your lot similar to what’s around it, but change some of the colors up to make it differ.
Are there palm trees? -Use palm trees!
Is it grassy? -Use grass!
Tip: Don’t use too many tall trees directly in front of your house, doors, or windows, that can make the shape look less appealing or steal too much attention from the actual creation!
