    @BuildnShare, I trust you slept well. I have another problem. I cannot open my build in the gallery to add my link. I tried it last night and then this morning again. I see that Twin Peaks has been downloaded but the save won't open. I also have tried a new save to the gallery, but it just does the same. I have no mods or cc in my game. :(

    Hmm @Issabella14 I searched the gallery for your build, and I can find it, but when I click it to get a link I get:
    2015-05-23%2012_41_10-The%20Sims%20-%20The%20Gallery%20-%20Official%20Site.png

    I'll try again tomorrow, but maybe it's a good idea to search the anwers.ea.com forum to see if anyone else had a similar problem
    I also get the "oops" when I click to download it directly. Hope you figure it out! Or maybe someone else has another idea

    i searched too and found it but when i clicked on it got the same opps message

    CHALLENGE #:19 DOUBLE TAKE
    FORUM: sportgal18
    ORIGIN: aronsona28
    LEVEL: Just starting out

    LOT NAME: Duplex Dreams

    Built on: Brook Bungalow Lot in Courtyard Lane


    BUILD COST: $154,377


    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/aronsona28/slideshow/Build-n-Share Challenge 19
    LINK TO GALLERY: Don't know how to get it with custom content included in the build


    ENTRY DETAILS:

    This duplex boasts two units which try to integrate the indoors and outdoors in a modern way. It is built on the idea that each room on the first floor is a type of pod which is connected by walkways to form courtyards which allow in extra light and give each room extra views. There are two courtyards in each unit: a long and narrow one at the front and a square one in the center of each unit. They create the only separation between and otherwise open-plan first floor. The second floor master bedrooms of each unit have a bridge which connects a bedroom section with a nook. Natalia and Matteo's nook serves as a home office while Bianca and Paolo's serves as a workout area for Paolo. Natalia and Matteo are career-oriented and don't plan on having children soon, so their extra bedroom serves as a guest room, while Bianca and Paolo want to start a family immediately, so they have the beginnings of a neutral nursery as their second bedroom. Each unit is a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home and they share a backyard.

However i didn't want matteo having to live in a purple home. So since I made them the more high end materialistic couple i started putting out purple gems and crystals. Things that were liliac accents. In the end It turned into a ocean theme and I came up with the land and sea duplex :) Obviously since Bianca has the botanist life time wish i gave her a land themed duplex in the colors of brown and green, and natural. I left a lot of clutter in bianca and paolos decor while keeping natalia and matteos decor clean and tidy except for their expensive objects that they are displaying such as their many crystals, and of course a lot of books since natalia is a bookworm. I decided to give bianca the geek trait since she is a collector so she has some geeky furnishings such as action figures, harry potter posters and etc. I made her the less mature sim since natalia is the one whose mature and wanting to start a family.


    I am in love with the interior design!

    @Kaile it's a bug, not your fault (see here). I'd suggest throwing in a couple of additional photos taken when you are down at ground level (you should see the doors when you're on the same level) that are just focused on the entry way, so that they can see they're really there. :)

    Visit my blog to see my creations: http://bryscreations.wordpress.com or search the gallery by my OriginID or #bryscreations

    Hiya @kaichen04 !

    Seems your Link is missing from your entry, I assume your forgot to copy/paste it ;)
    As for the doors not showing up, sadly I don't know how this happens. Or why. It helps to go up or down a floor to take a picture of that said door before it disappears. So we can at least see which one you picked :)

    @Issabella14 and @Lebanna there seems to be some confusion here. @kaichen04 has not posted an entry. He quoted Kaile's post and deleted the bottom of the post with the pics and also deleted the end quote. That is why it doesn't have the grey box. His comment is actually the very last line of that post.

    I wasn't a member yet, so links and pictures were not something I could use, therefore I deleted them. I am sorry if that caused any confusion.

    ENTRY DETAILS: This build is inspired by nature- lush greenery and dark woods. The exterior fits both Bianca and Paolo's nature loving, natural style with it's color palette as well as Matteo and Natalia's clean style with it's modern/contemporary architecture style. The exterior is bright inviting and relaxing, perfect for these two young couples just settling in. There is also plenty of space to expand if their families grow.

    The two apartments are completely separate, each with two bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a powder room. They have the exact same layout but are furnished according to the couples' personal style. Matteo and Natalia's side include a living area, kitchen, their master bedroom, a study, as well as a children's room in anticipation for future children since Natalia is family-oriented. For Bianca and Paolo's side, they have a living area, a more professional kitchen for Bianca, their master bedroom, a guest bedroom and a home gym for active Paolo. However, the couples share the backyard, which can be a relaxing and romantic oasis where they can swim, hang out, garden and eat. There is plenty of space in the backyard as well, which makes it perfect for parties- there even is an outdoor bar since Natalia loves hosting plenty of parties!
