A Unique Modern Home Building Contest:
So I’m playing a Selfacy (a legacy where you use your simself) and I’m getting ready to start my 2nd generation but I really think she’d suit a unique modern home. However, I really can’t build modern homes unless it’s a traditional home with a modern touch, so I’m reaching out to the community for help! The winner will have their house featured in my Selfacy story, that’s not yet been posted as I like to play out a generation before posting.
What I want you to do is build a unique modern home using my family’s current budget of $200,000. This will make it even more challenging for some as I only have the base game though it is the deluxe version
I am using the big lot in Willow Creek as it is a legacy but you do not need to use that lot as I can place any lot on it so long as you are within the $200,000 budget any lot size is fine
The current due date is Aug.22nd I'm not going to give a time as long as it's in the gallery by or on Aug.22nd I'll accept it. Use #Bakerlegacy and #cmbaker16 Ended it early due to own reasons Winner will be announced within the next couple of days thank you to everyone who participated
Requirements:
While I do not mind the white and/or black color scheme modern homes have going I do like color so if you make a room that’s white and/or black a little color here and there would be nice.
Kitchen- should have a family dining area and breakfast bar using island counters.
Formal Dining Room- Should be able to seat eight.
Living Room- Should be just a nice room where the family can hang out. (some items to think of T.V, Bookshelves, card table, etc…)
A total of 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms-
Master Bedroom- This is the room for my simself and her husband which I’d like to be in neutral colors/tones with a bathroom suite.
Secondary master bedroom- This room will be for my 2nd generation heiress which I’d like to be pink/purple with white accents and woods, if possible, with a bathroom in a similar color scheme.
A Teen girl bedroom for Triplets(cause my heir has a younger set of triplet siblings): would like to see this in a mix of blues and greens with a bathroom suite.
A nursery/child’s bedroom: in a neutral gender color scheme.
A guest bathroom somewhere in the house if two stories preferably on the first floor.
Extra Rooms:
These do not need to be furnished just wall coloring/flooring as these are just so I have the room for them, so if you manage to get in all the above rooms but are still well within the budget with enough for a room or two I’d like…
A home gym can be big enough to just fit a treadmill and punching bag.
A small art studio
A home office
Landscaping/patios:
While plants make the house look nice and I do like a patio for outdoor entertaining this is not necessary but if you manage to fit it in excellent but otherwise it's not really all that important.
Scoring System:
As far as scoring system goes I don’t have one cause when it comes down to it I’m just going to go with the one I like

Q: What can we use as far as Game packs and stuff packs?
A: I only have the base game so no game packs or stuff packs
Q: So, silly question, but do you want the home completely furnished or just a finished shell that you will fill?
A: That is a very good question, I would like the home furnished...the extra rooms I have listed however can be left unfurnished if you need them to be to stay within the budget, the family owns a treadmill and punching bag I can easily place in a home gym same with the art easel...those are just listed so I have room for the items if possible.
I will look forward to seeing the home entries.

Perhaps @SummerFalls would like this as well. He's amazing at building.

oh...I see...I haven't built alot so wasn't sure if $40k was tight or not...I'll take a shell than or a partially furnished home
I hope that'll allow you to continue with your build

Cost of House: 196,776
Description: This house was made on a lot in Newcastle, and the dimensions are 40x30. I included the guest bath on the ground floor and a small home gym. While I wasn't able to put in a complete home office or art studio, I did include a desk/computer and bookshelf on the second story in one corner, and on the front-facing porch on the second-story, there's an easel and a bench outside. Hopefully I added enough color to the house. (I tried to keep that in mind while I fought my tendencies to make everything black and white in a modern home) The challenge was really fun-and the first challenge I've ever done- so thanks for posting this, and good luck on your selfacy!
-I can't post photos yet because I don't have enough points, but the house is on the gallery with the #Bakerlegacy and #cmbaker16
Thanks so much!
Cost of House: Exactly 200K, including the lot, which was a 40 x 30 in Willow Creek!
Description: Everything you requested and a little bit more. The first floor features a front foyer, home office, home gym, master suite with bath, a formal dining room that seats eight, an eat-in kitchen, and a living room. The second floor features three bedrooms - including one for the triplets and one for a baby boy or girl - each with their own bath. The third floor features a small studio space. I also included a fully appointed patio and yard with a pool, a bar and grill, a fountain path and even a spot for some gardening. I left lots of wall space for Sim created paintings and even provided a sandy pit for future yoga sessions.
