@Liziann1 That is so cool that you get to go back to Disney! I love DisneyWorld I hope you and your family have a marvelous and relaxing time! Looking forward to seeing your build as well.
@misschbong Yeah, it was hard to do a palace with a 40x30 lot and the smaller budget. I kept wanting to go to a 50x50 lot and a higher budget. Had to get creative lol.
Hi all, for this challenge I have chosen to do an interpretation of the country seat to the prime minister; the Catshuis in the Hague. Though the downstairs floorplan matches the rl one almost exact, the top floors are different. I couldn't do an extra floor true to the original given the challenge budget and lot size. The garden is also just me having creative freedom But I think the end result of the exterior looks pretty striking though. Here comes...

@Twiggy *eyes bulge out* That floor pattern is meticulous! Well done! The judges are going to have a really hard time with this competition. All the entry's are so excellent.
'T Catshuis is a very nice home! @Twiggy The exterior of the home looks so very nice! Very nice layout of the home! The roofing, dormers and the structure on the roof looks great! The water fountain, plants and statue area in the front of the build looks very nice! It looks nice how there are stairs on the left and right hand side to enter the home. The flag poles look nice in the build. The square hedging on each of the front area of the build looks very nice. Very nice furnishing of the interior of the home! The hallway is very nice! It looks nice that is coloured orange to reflect the Dutch colour. The floor patterning there looks so very nice ! Nice sitting area for sim to rest on the seats. The coat stand is a nice home touch beside the front door. Very nice design of the conference room! The long meeting room table looks great! The seats look nice placed on the sides of the table for sims to sit there and discuss business matters. The type of curtains used in the room looks very nice. The green colour of the seats and curtains gives a nice look to the room and complements well with the white wall paneling. The tulips on the table are pretty for sims to look at whilst a meeting is being held in the room. The portrait looks nice on the wall and plants are nice touches in the room. Very nice office room! It looks very nice how you have used the colours of the Dutch flag in the room! The red walls, blue curtains and white furnishings look very nice together! The coloured floor rug adds a nice look to the room. It looks great how the study desk is angled into the corner nook. Sims will enjoy sitting at the desk table using the computer or reading a book from the bookcase. Very nice back area of the build . The lavender looks pretty on the back porch. Nice armchairs sitting area for sims to relax on the porch in the outdoors air.
The home is very nice!
Hi everyone,
Ok so you all know how I love to get you guys involved in things I thought I would ask for challenge themes/ideas/ storylines
I love to see how creative you guys are and while I try to keep the challenges as diverse as possible I know I wont always think of everything.
So if you have any challenge themes/ideas or storylines you would like to see, post them up or message me. We can have a discussion about them and maybe create some great challenges
Also if anyone is wanting to host a challenge with me you are more than welcome to work with me on one, you are free to enter it also or judge it.
I have some great ideas for challenges planned but always happy to get you guys involved as much as I can to.
@rosemow Thank you, dear. I thought he could use a little fresh sim look. Glad you like how he turned out
@steskens Thank you so much! This was a nice break after the latest sheer imaginary based builds I did. I am actually very happy with how both het Catshuis and Rutte turned out quite lifelike.
The new " On top of the world" stilts challenge sounds great! I will look forward to seeing the builds and reading the background story details to the homes! Happy building!

We haven't really changed the way we judge we have just broken down the areas into a bit more detail to help score better.
I may take a break from contests for a while. I'm working on making some videos for youtube in the meantime.
Hello @Brendy927 It is exciting that you are making simming YouTube videos! Simmers will enjoy watching them. I hope that your making of the YouTube videos goes well.
Thanks for the support @rosemow@cbear13 I just got into videos this week so they won't be of the things I've made before then. Unless I rebuild them or something. I'm going to make my own showcase thread soon so I will link the videos there. These contests are awesome by the way so I'll be sure to return sometime!
