My name is Owen Vanderbilt. I hope I came to the right place to ask for help. Last night when my dad, Lawrence, got home from work, he started tearing down our home! When I saw this, I mean - we tore down all of the walls and sold all of our furniture! My mom, Mallory, says dad is going through a mid-life crisis! My twin brother, Silas, and I need a house! Today is our birthday and we want to have a party! Dad tried building a few houses after he tore down the house, but he kept blowing the limited budget on a really posh kitchen or plants and trees.
Now, now, son. I believe I have my act together. It may be true that I was spending too much on certain parts of the various rebuilds I attempted last evening. I knew that what we needed was available within our budget, but having lived in extreme poverty, even outdoors, for most of my young adult life, I can't wait for to enjoy a fully, functional, fantastic house. What is most important to me is that I have a home private office to utilize my some of my nice secret agent tools the government has given me. I have special elements I need to display - they give a special aura that leads me to focus. I enjoy the outdoors and would like a place to enjoy the weather and let some stress out on my punching bag. I have collected some crystals I would like to put near by to help me stay energized.
Owen and I are pretty good friends. We are both very creative, social and good at video games and typing. We are okay with sharing a room for now. We like to paint and play violin. Since today is our birthday, we are okay to receive an adult sized instrument and easel.
I dearly love my husband. We were both leading busy lives when were blessed with our twin boys, Silas and Owen! I am a mixologist by trade and it is important that I have a bar for entertaining. I would love a nice kitchen as cooking is as much of a passion as special drinks. I know Lawrence has dreams of opulent grandeur for his descendants, but right now, we just need something to get through each day. Our old house was just a bunch of prefabricated rooms glued together and lacked a proper layout that was functional for a family of four. Lawrence and I were both getting fed up repairing all of our plumbing daily. I was shocked to say the least when he tore the house down instead of just replacing our broken items. What's done is done and we can only move forward.
Please help us. We need a house built on our current lot, Oakenstead. Lawrence purchased the deed to this land and we are unable to move. Everything except our plot must fit within our budget of $25,073. If I know Lawrence, I expect as he accrues more money in his pocket, he will want to do something similar - tear our house down and rebuild - but bigger and better. Maybe by that time he, or his descendant, will have more experience with building houses! So, we need something livable, attractive, and cheap! Is this even possible?
Thank you for your help!

I have a three bedroom house with family bathroom and the one en-suite. Large open plan living area. Front and back decking area!
Lawrence, for you there is a nice private office towards the back of the house and the back decking is the perfect place for the punching bag!
Boys, you each have your own room and there is an easel and violin ready and waiting.
Mallory, the kitchen is open plan and I have incorporated the bar into the layout so its great for entertaining!
Here goes (apologies for the pics, my camera skill leave a lot to be desired!)
The front outside..
The back outside..
Overview of the layout...
Living and kitchen area. Here you can see the bar on the left...
The private office. I've added just a computer at the moment..
One of the two smaller bedrooms. This is the one at the front of the property...
The master bedroom...
No pictures of the bathrooms but they both have toilet, sink and shower.
The property costs $24,452 and is called the Marches under cully_c in the gallery.
Hope this interests you!
Whatever house you choose, good luck in your search!

I'm glad others are trying as well. I've been working on it since this morning and can't seem to produce anything worth sharing. I may need a little more practice
@22calprincess - Keep trying! No rush, as I am leaving for a weekend work trip tomorrow and won't be back until next Monday.
Until I am able to get in game to try them out, here are some pics of the Vanderbilt family exploring their neighborhood as they wait until the dust settles. Owen & Silas found a nice fishing hole. Lawrence was scoping out the local berries as a study for survivalism, and Mallory was jogging through town, meeting the neighbors.
Your home looks great! @cully_c
It is a great home!

Yes, we are just as grateful, @cully_c. The misses and I were able to enjoy the home as well! LOL! I moved my special spy desk in and will have some pictures up once we have made enough money to make the house our home. We are ever so thankful and if you ever need an investigation done on any sim in Willow Creek, just reach out to me!
In case you were wondering, the twin's traits were randomized and they ended up with the following:
Owen - Aspiration: Bodybuilder, Traits: (High Metabolism), Neat, Genius
Silas - Aspiration: Party Animal, Traits: (Gregarious), Self-assured, Hot-headed
