    Hey, guys!

    I was just wondering if you’ve lost a judge for the Established level. I’ve done the last challenge but was sitting on it, waiting for my earlier submissions to be judged as there’s such a backlog, I didn’t want to add to it.

    So now I’m wondering if I should even bother with this months. I understand judges have outside RL things to do but if it’s too much to judge by the end of this month I’ll skip it.

    Thanks for all you do! 😌

    @pammiechick I believe a couple of the judges may be on vacation at the moment, but they have not forgotten anyone :smile: . You should definitely join this month's challenge if you are up for it! I use them as a monthly motivator to build something new, and its more fun for everyone when more people join.

    Yeah…I’m going on vacation too…so we’ll see if I can do it.

    Thanks for letting me know. ❤️❤️❤️

    CHALLENGE – 151

    FORUM ID: @icanhasims
    ORIGIN ID: icanhassims
    LEVEL: Established
    SIMS 4 LOT NAME: ? in Evergreen Harbor
    NEW LOT LINK: Modern & Contemporary
    LOT COST: 4000
    GALLERY COST: 45,649
    TOTAL COST: 49,649
    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: https://icanhassims.weebly.com/151-summer-designer-showdown.html
    ENTRY DETAILS: Situated in Evergreen Harbor, the Smith's home is a mixture of modern and contemporary design, with a palette of blue and green throughout. Fulfilling their dream house goals, there is both an indoor home gym and pool in the side yard. There's even a dedicated music room for Emily to practice in. The couple chose Evergreen Harbor because of its move toward healthier living, even if parts of the neighborhood are still in transition. For a health-conscious couple, it was important to have a clean environment. While there is some landscaping, the couple didn't want the outside of their home to look too "busy" and so went with minimal foliage to complement their modern and contemporary look.
    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Sure!

    Great job on this @icanhassims !
    I started my home for the same family today and apparently my standards are too high, because I already ran out of money :s Back to the drawing board...
  • icanhassimsicanhassims Posts: 790 Member
    @AlJay thank you! I had the same problem and had to reduce by $10k when I accidentally went over budget. That was a nightmare.

    So I started working on my lot. Spent a good half-hour figuring out the shape of the house and then remembered that, oh yeah, this challenge already has a shell for a starting point.

    This is fine. :,)

    ENTRY DETAILS:

    To keep both Ricardo and Zahra Vargas happy, I chose to use simple mission-style furniture but jazzed things up with colourful, boho-style décor and accent pieces.

    I also added some bookshelves and a desk where the Vargases can do some reading and writing at.

    Finally, I created a cosy area for the little Vargases to play in.

    We won’t be docked points for not using the full budget if our builds adhere to the original budget, right? I uploaded mine to the gallery before the budget was changed.

    ENTRY DETAILS:

    I decided on a mission-style house for the Vargases as I thought that it would fit both Ricardo’s preference for mission-style furniture and Zahra’s boho tastes.

    This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom house provides plenty of room for the Vargases’ growing family.

    Containing a pool and a play area, the enclosed yard at the rear of the house allows the family to fully enjoy the great outdoors.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I have chosen to build a modern contemporary home for Casey and Emily Smith . I have kept the exterior shell of the original home the same. I have just removed the roof and decorative dormers, replacing them with a more modern style, adding a carport and a gym. The interior of the home is decorated with whites and blues, has a chef's kitchen for the couple to enjoy and a 5 piece bathroom for convenience. The home has nearly a full wall of windows and doors to enjoy easy access and views to the back yard. The back yard has many places for seating and dining. The couple will be sure to enjoy some back yard parties here. The pool boasts a sunken seating area in the middle as well as a waterfall wall. The gym has sliding doors/walls that are open to enjoy the view and the breeze. There is also a vegetable garden for the couple to enjoy gardening and using fresh herbs and vegetables in their cooking.

    HOUSEHOLD: The Larson Family
    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Larson Family Pictures
    ENTRY DETAILS: When Jamie's sister and brother-in-law unexpectedly passed away she knew instantly that she needed to be there for her nieces and nephews. Luckily her husband Pat was completely on board. Together they will take on the challenge of raising 4 kids of all different ages and with 4 different interests.
    I was unsure how to get the family tree the right way in CAS so I made everyone in the prompt and the parents of the kids. This way everyone has the right relationship (aunt, uncle, etc) and the kids will look alike.
    Jenny Leone (Kids' mother, sister to Jamie)- perfectionist, cheerful, family oriented.
    Leo Leone (Kids' father, husband to Jenny)- creative, good, cheerful.

    Jamie Larson- Family Oriented, Foodie, Neat (Aspiration: Master Chef)
    Pat Larson- Family Oriented, Foodie, Perfectionist (Aspiration: Botanist)
    I thought perfectionist and neat might be a fun twist with a house full of kids

    Leo Jr. -Athletic and cheerful (hobby: basketball)
    Lindsay- geek (hobby: video games)
    Julie- Angelic (hobby: arts and crafts)
    Jaiden - infant. (hobby: woodworking)
