Help with Architectural Designer

[kashelle03]

I've been trying to complete the Architectural Designer LTW, just once, and I'm almost there, but I still only have 93% of the portfolio complete.  I've been using the spawn jobs cheat and I think I've gotten at least a good review for everything listed.  Has anyone actually tried to complete the portfolio before?  I only have to do 6 more jobs and I kinda thought the portfolio would have been completed a long time ago.

My sim completed the Architectural Designer LTW and she also had a 93% portfolio.  She worked thru as an elder until I finally had her retire after completing over 100 remodeling jobs.  She had many good reviews and $5000 bonuses.    I just took the jobs as they came up and never did use the cheats.
 
I think I missed taking pictures of a few jobs in the very beginning of her career.    I clicked on the option to take the picture later and I am now thinking I should have either taken the picture right there and then or at least made a follow-up visit to that home to take a picture of my work a few days later.

I never took any pictures later and I'm pretty sure I actually took a picture each time I was prompted.  A couple times I hit the button so fast I couldn't be sure the picture got taken, but I think the percentage message showed up afterwards, so I should have been okay.  It took me forever and some cheating to get the Sculpting Studio in Riverview, but I got all the rest of the list multiple time and still only got 93%, so I'm thinking that may be the maximum for some reason.

Hello! I'm new to this site and I have a sim who's an architect and I'm really enjoying it. However, I can't take nice pictures of my renovation. Is there a tutorial about taking pictures with the camera phone?

BTW, Carl, thanks for the guide it really helped me in making sure I chose the right traits for my sim to enjoy this job

I was playing this today and found something by accident, I picked up one of my sculptures from the family inventory to put it in a clients home, realized it was a $2,000 one and I like using cheap ones, so I put it back and it added that amount to my budget. So I did it again and now I have $4,000 more in my budget. Might be a glitch, not sure!

Welcome to our Forum, dollkey!

I don't think you can take good pictures with the cell phone camera.  If you have World Adventures, you can buy a camera at the vacation locations or at the Consignment Store.  The better the camera, of course, the better your pictures will be.

Thanks for the welcome, Pam! I tried out the camera but man it's expensive to take pictures with it LOL So I'll just stick to the crappy pics the camera phone takes.

Welcome to our Forum, Sotelo.

We already have a topic related to this, so I'm going to merge yours with it.  There may already be some good information for you there.

Also, please be careful with capitalizing your "I's" and using apostrophes in contractions.  This is per the Forum Rules.  There's a link to them located in my signature below.  Thanks very much.

I personally really like this profession, it's a lot more fun than the rabbit hole careers. I made it to level 10 really quickly beacause I worked on maxing the painting skill, and I got the observant reward which helps a lot because all you have to do is show a sim your portfolio and then you know most of their traits. You can make a lot of money from this with the lifetime reward (I forget what it's called). I dont take measurements or get to know the client, I can still get a good or great review with out it and do 4-5 jobs a day. I'm new so I was wondering, what do the stars under different people's username mean?

With testingcheatsenabled true I believe you can shift click on someones House and a option to Spawn Job will appear and then the list of all the Jobs should appear. I think that is the case, so if you don't mind cheating to get the Job you could try that. I don't know about your Portfolio however.

It goes with your Ranking, I can't remember which Ranks but you get a Star a Rank I think. I have all Five because I have 1000+ Posts and am a Legendary Member. Moderators and Admins have different Colour Stars though so you can tell them apart quickly.

Thanks for the hints... I started putting in my sketches, paintings, sculptures, and even things I find at the consignment shop to decorate the house and they love it!!! I have gotten nothing but perfect scores since then
