Aww thanks guys. I am so thrilled that World Tour Newcrest getting Maxis fave. It was such a fun build and I played the lot for a long time. (a whole week! that's about the longest I can last in game lol)
I just saw this thread and I have to say that I'm liking this concept a lot! I'm thinking about joining the newest contest. I just have one question: It says that you're allowed to add a balcony, but is it also allowed to make the already existing balcony bigger? Or does it have to be a completely new balcony?

@Matthia With previous challenges you could but this specific challenge its not allowed (That is if you are referring 2 the upper balcony). You can however (for the front ground patio) add to the existing one as long as they do not touch...maybe incorporate with stairs down the one and then up the other one..if that could work hehe and WELCOME to Under Renovation
Just a question: kinda new on the forum and have alr seen wonderful renovations come by in the community. Always thought it was a marvelous concept . If i understand correctly any member can join in on this challenge as long as they showcase here? In that case i am so making pics of my effort asap (ID: Snn77)
Thanks everyone for the welcome! And thanks for the reply. I won't touch the existing balcony then and try something else. I've made some progress on the house already, but the budget is quite tight! I wanted to give the mayor the luxury items he deserves, but I will have to make some changes in that aswell.

@Matthia lol we have been spoiling our renovators with "free hand" and "unlimited budgets" in some recent renovations and decided its time to go back to basics and through a tight one at them. lol They always come out tops though A tip to get some free stuff etc when a budget is tight:
1. Enter cheat bb.showhiddenobjects
2. The in the search column type in "debug" You will find some awesome goodies there that is cheap or free.

Hello @Matthia I hope that your budgeting goes okay!
First off @rosemow thank you for your always so warming comments
Then for the official part of my comment. I really enjoy entering this challenge. Hope my solutions on renovating and juicing up the place for the grand mayor make the judges move aswell
Mayor Movement is a very nice home! @Twiggy The front courtyard area of the build is very nice! The hedging looks nice lining the edges of the lot. Very nice front area of the courtyard! It looks nice how you have curved the rocks around the water fountain and the plants look nice there. Very nice seat bench sitting area, for sims to enjoy resting there in the sunshine, and the flowers beside the seat are nice for sims to see when sitting there. The texture and colour of the exterior of the build looks nice and suits well the theme. The pegs and animal wall decor look great on the front exterior of the roof! The trees add a nice look to the outdoors front area. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! Nice living room sitting area for sims to enjoy watching TV. The plants are nice touches of nature on the wall shelf and the colour of the pots looks nice with the seating colour. The shoes rack is homely beside the stair case. Nice window sitting area in the master bedroom for sims to enjoy looking out through the windows at the outdoors views. The hanging robes are a nice home touch on the bedroom wall. It looks nice how you have used the shade screen to separate off the dressing area. Very nice bathroom! The white wall and floor tiling gives a very nice look to the room. The red candles look pretty on the bathroom sink counter, and are a nice touch of red that goes well with the white colour scheme of the room. Very nice basement entertainment room! Sims will enjoy sitting on the stools there or resting on the sofa, having a drink from the bar and a chat. The mounted fish looks great on the wall!
The home is very nice

The unlimited budgets and free styling in the previous challenges gave me more of a mental block The tight budget and other restrictions made me participate again.
