    @BuildnShare If at all possilbe, I'd like to also build on Bargain Bend in Willow Creek and will be doing another family.

    I would like to build on Cypress Terrace in Willow Creek if that lot isn't taken yet, please. I am still unsure if I will create a household yet though.

    @wendyology Haha, love it :D very clever

    @Taoron love this too, also very clever & imaginative! Think the way you’ve used the spandrels around the roof garden is my fav bit, looks amazing 😊

    @BuildnShare after playing with different ideas for my build I’ve realised I will nee the 40x30 after all, so can I go with Avarice Acres please?

    Thanks! I was actually trying to get shadowing and light play on that specific area, because I do too and wanted it to pop. lol

    @Taoron Nice! Glad to know Chicken Little did alright for himself. I suspect once he got over his fears he became a successful contrarian investor. Beautiful build, I love the chicken coop meeting up with modern glass portion of the home. That little entryway provides some nice landscaping and outdoor space.

    SIMS 4 LOT NAME: Rindle Rose - Willow Creek
    NEW LOT LINK: Here
    GALLERY COST: 90,230
    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Here

    ENTRY DETAILS: I wanted to keep the floral connotations of "Rindle Rose" so I knew going in that I wanted a huge conservatory, and lots of soft pastels. I kinda got the base layout mostly done, and started thinking that a) there was just a little bit more space I could squeeze out of my shell and b) one little old lady wasn't really a 'family' as such. Thus, the teenaged relative come to visit on an "indefinite basis" as in so many novels I read growing up. Her room is a bit pokey because it used to be a sewing room, or a teeny guest bed, or something.

    I'm not 100% sure I nailed the whimsy, but I tried to catch that sense of charm and freedom you associate with certain types of old women - that idealised grandmother type who keeps certain things old fashioned because she's just grown to like them that way, but will also sneak into the annual flower show and steal cuttings off all the hydrangeas because it's absolutely shameful what the garden centre charges for something that should be growing free.

    Hoping I nailed that at least.

    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Always :)

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Astelia never planned on children, and she certainly never planned to take on indefinite guardianship of her teenage niece under less than ideal circumstances! Astelia swears she's too old to change her ways, and Raia thinks her elderly aunt is out-of-date and out-of-touch. With luck they'll make the best of things, and without it their family circumstances may go from bad, to worse!

    Astelia is an elder with the Freelance Botanist aspiration. Her traits are Cheerful, Loner, and Foodie.
    Raia is a teenager with the Best Selling Author aspiration. Her traits are Gloomy and Art Lover.
    Harold is a mixed breed ginger cat in a purple dragon costume. His traits are Fuzzy, Friendly, and Lazy.

    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Just half a dozen shots showing some outfits and such.

    Next I think I might try Arid Ridge in Oasis Springs? Apparently I massively overestimated how much space I'd need for this one. Will switch to Pebble Burrow if that's alright.

    I'm never really sure what to do with desert neighbourhoods so it'll be a good chance to learn! I'll also be creating another family.

    ETA: I think I'm taking suggestions.

    What's the unlikeliest additions you can think of for my tiny house neighbours? I've already got mumsy!witch and a toddler in the first tiny home (cauldrons are huge!!! and toddler stuff is massive!!!), and their next door neighbour is silicon-valley frat-bro, Chad (I'm still gutted I couldn't fit the hot tub in his bedroom). I have two more tiny homes to fill, and up 5 slots left in the family. Like, if you were casting some kind of unlikely neighbours scenario, what sort of sims would you be topping this place up with?

    @mikkiness The natural enemy of the frat-bro is the overly serious sim starting out in the medical profession (also works for law students.) Or at least that's how it works in my building.

    @wendyology - I think you might be right! Shame this challenge closes a couple of days before Uni comes out :D

    I managed to fit a doctor and a vet into the same mad science shell :D

    I think the build is done, so tomorrow is sims and route-testing!

    @Mikkiness cute build! The partially clear roof is really cool. I look forward to your entry slideshows.

    LOT COST: $8,500.00

    ENTRY DETAILS: I built a new tree house for Peter Pan and the lost boys of Neverland. You can find it by the Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. It comes complete with Captain Hook's flying ship. This tree house It has many different huts, all at different levels, and with many pathways attached to each. The perfect tree house for a good game of tag! There are so many things to discover, and many ways to get there around this tree house. There is even a possibility that the waters are mermaid infested. The perfect home for someone who never wants to grow up!
    This build challenged me with all the different levels, connecting the stairs, making the roofs work, not having branches in random places, and making sure it was all usable... but it was soo much fun to build!!

    @BuildnShare I decided not to make a family for my build, as I don't have the Realm of Magic and needed wings for Tinkerbell. But I found that many people have made Peter Pan and Tinkerbell in the Gallery if anyone is looking :)
  • wendyologywendyology Posts: 395 Member
    @AlJay I love the treehouse build. I've been thinking of doing a "Punk Family Robinson" but I'm not yet sure how to pull it off.
  • AlJayAlJay Posts: 1,652 Member
    Thanks @wendyology Punk Family Robinson would be so cool!
