A reminder to all entries, including those who posted entries already. Please state cost of build and include a floor plan view of the house in your slideshow. If you are doing the challenges, please include the cost of balcony and/or sim traits.
Otherwise, fellow simmers, all of the builds are beautiful! I am so happy to be taking part in this challenge because of y'all! And the Douglas' out there are simply scrumptious.
I would join the BnS team if I could but I don't have much time to spare. At this time, being a contestant is all I can do.
Thanks @celdys0n! Yes, we do need the final cost of your build with your entry form, and overheads are a must, as it gives us a real idea how the home build will play in game.

Well, I was worried about posting my entry because I can't post links or pics yet, but I decided what the heck. I created the Sim and the penthouse and pics of both are in my slideshow.

BUILDING COST: $134,148 ENTRY DETAILS: Rock View Penthouse gives you a great view of Oasis Springs. it's got 1 master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a small guests bedroom. From the high end kitchen you can spy on your guests eating delicious food in the dining area. The living room is a great place to relax and listen to the music from the piano. You can also pary on the balcony/outside area with its BBQ and bar. (note: as I post this I realised I forgot a small minor detail: the hallway ;) ,so instead you just walk right in the living room)
ENTRY DETAILS:
Address: Potters Splay, Willow Creek, 30x20 lot, total build cost 110,402 simoleons (balcony cost 14,739).
Imagine stepping out of an elevator and entering the penthouse apartment 'HMS Curtis'. All rooms accessed from the lobby. Main balcony from the kitchen and dining room side. Two smaller balconies entered from either side of the master bedroom, one is for chess and the other a workout area. Douglas Curtis aspires to be a mansion baron and his traits are romantic, outgoing, business savvy and materialistic.
Okay for some reason I can't go on the Sims 4 because of the computer, so if I have to guess I think it says 167k but when I got into build mode it says 149k.

LOT: Acrophobic Penthouse (or by my hashtag #bryscreations)
Boy, this was a tough challenge for me. I had trouble getting inspired and was really struggling with the ground floor penthouse concept, but then an idea occurred to me: it all made sense if Douglas Curtis III, world renown adventurer had one teeny, tiny little weakness no one knew about, acrophobia, or a fear of heights! It reminded me of Indiana Jones and snakes, made me chuckle, and that was all it took to get going. I've designed a luxurious, modern penthouse situated on a 40x30 lot, squeaking in just under budget at $149,274 (Gallery price), $131,950 when placed on the lot I used (Municipal Muses with a lot value of $4000). It is definitely built for entertainment, with a huge balcony, as well as open and expansive living and dining areas and a great kitchen/bar combo. There are plenty of attractive display spaces available for Mr. Curtis' collectibles. The master suite is a refined and spacious hideaway, complete with master bath and walk-in closet. There is also a guest bedroom and private office. I had particular fun designing a funky Yin & Yang full bathroom.
CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: No CC. I do use Shimrod's Improved Lighting mod.
Edit: Okay, just to cover the bases regarding cost, in case it is not clarified in time (see pgs 21-22), I revised my original build to delete the gaming unit on the balcony, which reduced the cost by $4400, enough to cover most of the lots upon which one might place it. I moved the easel over slightly so there wouldn't be such a large gap in the space, but other than that, nothing was changed. The revised lot is simply called Acrophobic Penthouse V2. If the original version does wind up being considered over budget, please use V2 for judging. Sorry for any confusion!
o.O Holy Plumbbob! I told myself I wasn't going to enter Challenge #2, but decided to go for it anyway. But... after looking at all the other entries so far, I give up! lol *hits bulldoze button* GAH!
Y'all are so dang talented, no way can my puny efforts compete. I'll just sit back and admire what you guys make from now on and not kid myself anymore. Great job everyone, my chin's all scraped up from dragging on the ground in awe!
I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring. I've never built in the sims before, having just got TS4 about a week ago. I have lot to learn, but I'm having a blast trying to figure out the best way to use the build tools. So be gentle please. :)
