    #BnS91 - Back to Basics

    Back to Basics

    THE BRIEF:

    Build a house for a four-person family (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 child or toddler — any genders, traditional or non-traditional family) with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, kitchen, dining and living spaces, and fully landscaped on a 20 x 30 lot anywhere you choose. You may use base game materials only! (Hint: in Build/Buy mode, use the filter to check Base Game under Packs to make it easier to find base game materials.) The house can be any style inside and out.

    BUDGET: §75,000 = Lot Cost + Building Cost

    SIM CHALLENGE: Create a family (2 adults, 1 teen, 1 child or toddler) and show them enjoying life in their new home. Use base game materials only in creating them (hair, clothing, etc.).

    ROOM CHALLENGE: Create a gourmet kitchen using base game materials only. Budget: §15,000.

    Ignore please... NOT my ENTRY

    CHALLENGE #BnS91 - Back to Basics
    FORUM ID: maryjane2joe
    ORIGIN ID: 88th-BombGeek
    LEVEL: Established
    LOT:
    LOT COST: 2000
    LOT NAME: Windenburg - Proprietor's Square
    BUILD COST: 72,001
    TOTAL COST: 74,001

    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: I removed this so I can fix my entry and re-enter; sorry but it had problems I was unaware of until the last judgement.. but i'm learning everything; slowly :blush:

    ENTRY DETAILS: I picked Winderburg because in my opinion I think the lots are way more beautiful in comparison to all the other towns. I didn't have any real ideal of the house and began with the front porch and yard area; the rest of the home, room by room just came together. This is actually how I do most of my buildings.. I begin in one small area and then it seems to build itself. Silly; I know but that's really all I know to say. This was a fun build and I love all the challenges here at Build n Share. I made a Sim family for the purpose of this challenge but not to enter in competition; mostly because I not only made the mother and father.. but I put together a teen Big sis... a little sis and a big teen brother.. so I made the family bigger but I am pleased with everything and.. the family seem to enjoy the home. :)
    PS; I'm still not sure on the cost and how it works so I tried to keep it under budget just in case. Still not sure why I cannot seem to grasp the pricing concept.. most probably because my elevator doesn't seem to go to the top floor here lately.

    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: yes
    CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: none
    SPACE FOR PICTURES: (Only a maximum of two per entry, please)

    @maryjane2joe , you almost got it right! :smiley: The gallery cost (which in your case is §72001) is the Build Cost for all of the challenges. The Lot Cost is §2000 so the Total Cost for you is §74001, which means you are within the budget.

    Hi folks! This is my first entry for the buildnshare challenge, I've only recently joined the forums but been building fairly regularly for the past couple of years. My entry form is below (can't post links yet but have added the urls).

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    I use base game only a lot with my builds that I upload to the gallery, mainly because I like to make sure everyone can enjoy the build without worrying that they won't get parts of the build once it's downloaded. The budget was a bit more of a challenge than I'm used to, it took a lot of going back over it and changing/removing things to get all of the elements into the build that I was looking for. I built this home for a Sim family that I made, Mum + Dad, Teen Eco-Warrior Son + Toddler Daughter. I like to build modern style homes, using bold colours and lots of windows and different layout styles. The garden has everything the family needs - play area, gardening plot, two pools (one in secret basement garden) and outdoor eating area. I've kept the living + dining space open and created an upstairs balcony that looks out over the kitchen, so the whole home is a pretty open design. The large outdoor balcony contains gym items so that the sims can exercise in the fresh air while looking at the view and I added a painting station so that the sims can get their creativity going in the outdoors. There's a bathroom downstairs and upstairs and a study with guitar for wannabe rockstar Dad. Really enjoyed this build as I wanted to get it as fully decorated as possible within the budget.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I had a certain family in mind, when creating this build. Norman and Marcus, married for almost twenty years and still happy. As both are very artsy, they wanted to have a modern house. Big windows, lots of open space, yet defined. This is what I tried to give them with the open kitchen/dining area and the sunken living room. And with all the common space I created their mastersuite downstairs, with a small dressing room, as their adopted children Layla Chen and the teenageboy Victor Chen are old enough to have their bedrooms upstairs. The upstairs landing holds a little balcony, that overlooks the dining room, so it is easy to shout when dinner is ready. It also features a little creative nook with an easel for Marcus who likes to paint. And there is an outdoor deck for a cookout and a small pool for exercise. I think that is about it. :)

    Fully landscaped means attention should be given to all parts of the exterior yard - front, back and sides. "Landscaping" includes both plants and hardscape elements like paths, seating, pools, etc.
