Yep, was able to view your slide show. Your build is great! I especially like your kitchen. And that was so smart putting koi in the pond!!!
I hope everyone had a great Easter! I took a little road trip! It was nice getting out of the house!
gmcrozier - You did a stunning job with the architecture! Your landscape is wonderful as well and compliments the architecture very beautifully! I love the dinning room! Nice use of CC! Very awesome! The sitting area is really lovely; I like the koi painting there. It's a very lovely build!
I think I'm going to sit this round out! I'm feeling a bit busy with all the Sims and RL stuff I have going on atm!
I still have to write my description and list my CC. This build was tedious for me I had error codes three times when saving and the launcher says that the lot has been uploaded... but it still hasn't showed up in my studio.
VannaRed I was looking at your entry and I love the way you chose to back the house up to a cliff overlooking the water, very picturesque. You did a wonderful job with the landscaping and the terraces are wonderful. There is no doubt that your build is traditional japanese. Well done!
VannaRed - I love the yellow exterior! Your landscape is wonderful; I love that you built on the side of a hill! The layout of your living room is really nice! Your office space is really nice! Such a lovely, Asian build!
I'm sorry I dropped off the radar again, but I was really struggling with my two kids on my own long story short their father has well and truly given up trying to be a dad which is a real shame. However I have got back on track now, and am finding it a lot easier to get online now that my daughter is settling more into a routine etc. (https://www.flickr.com/gp/squidgey_pie/9CToA4)
I hope everyone is doing well, I've been dropping by every now and then to have a look at peoples builds (Which are always amazing) and to see if there's any news about TS4 (which there really isn't lol).
I hope to be getting back onto the building scene soon x
LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 40 x 40, 2500 Pinochle Point, $144,292
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: A modern house with Japanese influences. This home is ideal for a power couple with two separate, adjoining offices, in home gym and luxury kitchen. The master ensuite and pool will also be enjoyed
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: yes
CREDIT TO SIMMERS FOR CUSTOM CONTENT USED: No CC used
You recline in your office chair, staring at the cool bag of goodies your latest clients have sent over as a thank you for all your hard work on their home and business. “Hmm, I'm going to have to start running again soon, if Gin, Perspehone and Purrsia stay in town for any length of time!” You think to yourself as your hand reaches in for a oh so delicious melt in the mouth chocolate brownie, and the best part is, you know exactly where all the ingredients originated from!
As you finish your mouthful, Rose buzzes through.
“Your 10 O'Clock, Mr Ryan is here.”
“Show him through Rose.” You say staring longingly at the cool bag.
Although, when Mr Ryan is shown through the door with a basket under his arms, you nearly swoon and make that mental note about exercise even firmer!
“Ah now, thank you for taking the time to see me.” He has a melodious accent that you know is a fresh off of a plane from Ireland.
“Mr Ryan, it's a pleasure to meet you in person! We have been communicating for too long via other forms of communication.”
“Indeed! You won't hear any argument from me.” He says as he gives you that look that means he is appraising your assets...
His steel grey eyes are set into an almost angelic face, with sharp cheek bones and a hint of a beard that may have grown from the time he would have shaved before heading to their airport in Dublin. All this was framed by silky looking shoulder length black hair.
“I was sorry to hear that your wife couldn't make the trip.”
This flusters him momentarily, although, being a newly wed, you guess he hasn't had much time to get used to having a wife....
“As was she, but she trusts my judgement... In most things.” He adds as almost an afterthought.
“It was unavoidable, as one of Dublin's finest police Lieutenants, she often has to miss out on matters which she assumes to be trivial.” You don't hear any harshness in his voice, he seems perfectly content with the fact that his wife is disinterested in their new home.
“So, from our email conversation, I understand that you want a home inspired by Asian architecture, is that still the case?” You ask, to cover the awkward silence that you feel should be there, but isn't...
“That is indeed the case, I am in love with all things Japanese, after being introduced to sushi, of all things! Ah, yes, that reminds me.” He whips the cover off of the blanket and shows you the most mouthwatering looking little parcels that lay just so inside the basket.
“I thought it might help you to really understand what I want from this home, if I could show you why sushi is the inspiration.”
You must look a little puzzled, as he goes on to take some small black, square plates out from the basket and proceed to lay out a little buffet around all the files on your desk, he looks at you and says
“Traditionally, sushi is served on minimalist Japanese-style, geometric, mono- or duo-tone wood or lacquer plates, in keeping with the aesthetic qualities of the cuisine and it was the way in which the food was presented that much to do with why I found my self enamoured with the whole Japanese style.”
You look at the simple, clean lines of the food and the crockery he has presented you with and an idea starts to from in your mind.
“I think I understand Mr Ryan, But, do you have any definitive requirements that you want me to include?”
“Please call me Ruairi.”
“Okay Ruairi (you pronounce it as he did Roa-ree) Was there anything that must be included in the final home, that there is no room for manouver on?”
“Of course, like any good recipe, first you need decent ingredients!! The architectural style must reflect Japanese architecture, as should the interiors. My darling wife, Eve, will need a home gymnasium to enable her to keep her fitness up to scratch, she has been offered the position of Chief of Police you see. So yes, we will both need separate but conjoining offices, and one master bedroom with en-suite. Another one bedroom is essential, two would be an added bonus. A professionally equipped kitchen is also a must have, I like to indulge in the cooking of, as well as eating sushi. Other than that, the brief is yours with which to work your considerable magic. Oh, and the tediousness of a budget, shall we say $150,000?!”
“Thank you for the guidelines Ruairi, I am sure we can come up with something in two weeks. Will Eve be with us to see the finished build?”
“I truly hope so!” He says with feeling. “Now, let's eat!”
Requirements
• Budget $150,000

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. ~John Burroughs~
Ruairi and Eve Ryan are new to Sunset Valley. There are rumors that their marriage is a cover for Eve to gain information on the corrupt politicians in the city. I mean, why else would total opposites get married???
Rauiri is a Sagittarius who loves to cook in his spare time. He's adventurous , which is why he agreed to help Eve. Charismatic, flirty and ambitious, he sometimes forgets he's supposed to be married.
He loves sushi, Chinese music and his favorite color is red
Eve is a Libra, she wants balance in her life always. She also loves sushi and Chinese music which is why her best friend is Rauiri. Her favorite color is yellow.
She is hot headed and has commitment issues. Her fake marriage may be her only one. She's athletic and brave so she loves her job.
LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: $135,279 before playing. 457 Sunnyside Blvd. Sunset Valley. 40x40 lot on the beach.
without cc the build was $144,244
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: The "Ryans" have picked a house that would stand out and get them noticed quickly. Rauiri is a top level business man from Dublin and his best friend Eve is in law. She was asked to take down some corrupt politicians that have had free rein for far too long. Being outsiders, they needed a cover for Eve so Rauiri agreed to marry her as a cover story.
