    ENTRY DETAILS:

    On my 4th or 5th try, I settled on this cute little comfy starter home for our buyer. Modeled after a tiny house, more space has been added on to accommodate for our buyers needs. Including an extra bedroom for streaming, office space or guests. Plenty of room for the little kitties to run around and for the buyer to add on to the house later on, if she wanted to. I added a great modern and chef worthy kitchen, for cooking, baking and starting fires. I did add on the house perks: fast internet, chefs kitchen and haunted(for fun :).

    I WANT MY CREATION SHOWN ON STREAM: Yep!

    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Sure

    ENTRY DETAILS: This lot is to keep happy, game streamer ZeroDoxy and her cats while still fitting in a low budget. From the office section of this open plan living area the entertainment choices while working include TV in the background noise and music or watching the cats have fun climbing their cat climbing wall. Food quality is prioritised in the kitchen with space funds used to improve appliances with units chosen that will compliment the rest of the lot in the colourful blend themed lot. There is space to expand if friends move in as the lot is the largest the budget would allow.

    #63 Ley Lines

    As you sit in your office, combing through portfolios, you get the eerie feeling that someone is watching you. You turn and look out of the window, but you see nothing. Pressing the intercom, you ask Karl.

    “Karl, when did you say my last appointment was?”

    “His voice comes through the silence “I’m not 100% sure to be honest, all the email said was after dark.”

    You shiver involuntarily.

    “Thanks.” You say.

    “Can I get you anything, before I head home?” He asks. Of course, you think it’s his anniversary, he asked to leave a little early.

    “No, that’s fine. Can you lock up on your way out?”

    “Of course. Have a nice evening.”

    With that the office is silent once more.

    Checking the window again, you see that twilight is approaching and you wonder if you will be able to see the new moon tonight.

    Turning back to your desk and the mountain of invoices and paperwork on your desk, you hear a rustling outside the window, slowly, you turn your head back to the window. Still nothing.
    “I think I must be going mad.” You say to yourself. “I can’t wait until the evenings draw out a little bit.”

    Focusing once more on the paperwork that sits in front of you, you become engrossed in your work. The front reception buzzer goes and makes you jump.

    Exiting your office into the foyer, you notice a very smartly dressed man and proceed to unlock the door.

    “Thank you for accepting my meeting, I appreciate it.” He says kindly.

    “It’s no problem, please come on back to my office, can I get you anything to drink. tea, coffee?”

    “Thank you, but no, I’m not a fan of hot drinks.”

    The way he smiles at you when he says it makes you feel a little uncomfortable, but his persona is so pleasant that you disregard it.

    “I apologise that you had to wait for me to come and unlock the door, but my assistant had to leave the office early, and I don’t like leaving the door open. I tend to get so focused on my work that I worry that I might miss someone walk in off the street.”

    “Of course, you can’t be too careful these days.” He says, again with that slightly knowing smile.
    “Thank you for understanding.”

    You gesture at the chairs to the side of your desk, he makes you feel comfortable enough that you don’t worry about sitting behind your desk.

    “I understand that you moved to the area with your wife.”

    “Yes, my beloved Isabella. We don’t have much, but we like this neighbourhood. We also didn’t realise the plot we bought was on a set of ley lines. We have been blessed with three sets of twins since we arrived.”

    “Wow, three sets of twins, so there are eight of you?”

    “That’s right. Isabella dreams of becoming mayor and most of our funds go to her campaign. So we have quite a tight budget considering what we need.”

    “Well yes, I can’t imagine how expensive feeding all those mouths must be as well.”

    “Yes, it can be quite draining.” There’s that darned smile again.

    “Lincoln and Liberty our first son and daughter are six, and in elementary school, our second set of twins Salvador and Reece are three, both boys, still toddlers, are due to start next year. Our newest son and daughter Vernon and Sidney have only just turned two, so they are both still at home. Luckily both Isabella and I have the opportunity to work from home most days, so we can be there. But we do occasionally require a nanny.”

    Wow, you think to yourself, this is going to be quite a build to fit everyone in.

    “So, what exactly are you looking for me to build?”

    “My love and I are not modern people, we like the modern amenities of course, but Isabella is almost from a different age. We are looking for a Victorian style home, we do not wish to live in a large open plan space. We will of course need at least four double bedrooms. The girls Liberty and Sidney will share, Lincoln has kindly said that he doesn’t mind sharing with his youngest brother Vernon, the second set of twins, Salvador and Reece are inseparable, as you can imagine! Isabella and I will also need a master bedroom. We also need a basement room, no furnishings, just somewhere we can pop the clutter of everyday life, it will need to be at least 6x5 though.”

    A tiny basement, you think, pondering how much clutter a household with 6 children must accumulate.

    “Oh, and just the one family bathroom should be enough, possibly with a half bathroom on the ground floor? Also, my wife is quite the gardener as well, so we will need some space set aside for that, preferably under some sort of cover, she is quite pale and burns so easily. Of course, I do not expect you to provide the plants with the budget we have set, just an area with pathways already laid out. And I would adore a fishing hole, I am quite the master fisherman.”

    “And what is your budget for the home?”

    “We are hoping that you can manage with $65,000.”

    “I won’t lie, for what you are asking, it’s going to be quite a squeeze. But I’m sure we will manage.”

    “Wonderful, I look forward to seeing what you come up with.”

    You walk him back to the door, and shake his hand.

    “I am so sorry, I hadn’t realise it was that cold in here.” You say as his hand is as cold as ice.

    “It’s no problem. I rarely feel the cold.” As you close the door, you watch him head down the street, you look away to lock up and when you look back he is nowhere to be seen. You shiver again.

    “Let’s see what we can come up with for Mr Shingo Okado.

    Brief:
    $65,000 budget
    Any 30x30 lot
    A 4 bedroom Victorian style home, not open plan.
    1 master bedroom, 2 bedrooms for one child and one toddler one bedroom for two toddlers
    1.5 bathrooms
    An area marked out for a garden
    A fishing pond

    For those of you who do not know how to place a fishing pond, you will need to enable cheats. To do this, you must press ‘ctrl’ ‘shift’ and ‘c’ at the same time, this will bring up a text box at the top of your screen. Into this text box you must then type ‘testingcheats on’ and press return once more. The box should then tell you that testing cheats have been enabled. Then you must type “bb.showhiddenobjects” and enter again. Then in the search box just above the building window type ‘fishing’ and press enter again, this will show you all the fishing holes available in the game.

    Sim Challenge
    Create Shingo, Isabella and their family. Shingo is Ambitious and Loves the Outdoors, Isabella is a Bookworm who is also very Neat (Their final traits and aspirations are up to you). Lincoln is a very active child who wants to be a social butterfly, Liberty takes after her dad and Loves the Outdoors and aspires to be a bit of a whiz kid. Reece is clingy, Salvador is Wild, Vernon is Angelic and Sidney is Silly.

    Room Challenge:
    Create one of the two toddler/child bedrooms, there must be one toddler bed and one child's bed in this room. You can make the girls room or the boys room. Your budget for the room is $3,500.

    Bah, this budget is killing me, my ground floor is sparsely furnished and I only have $7,500 left for the whole of the first floor :O I think a rethink might be in order.
