    #28 - Techno…what?

    “Rose?” You call over the intercom, preparing to ask her a question.

    “Yes it is the time you are suppose to have the meeting. No, she isn’t here yet. No she hasn’t called.” Rose says with an amused chuckle. She knows you so well.

    “Oh. Well. Thanks.” Glancing at your clock, you shrug, and try to pass the waiting time with a game of solitaire. As you struggle to find a place to put that black 8, an icon flashes up on your screen.

    “Tchnobabbl16 wants a chat.” you read, before looking very confused. “What?” Hesitantly, you click the accept icon. After a few minutes, during which a program you didn’t know you had updates, a window opens and a young lady smiles at you.

    She has black hair liberally streaked with candy pink, matching her candy pink lipstick. Her vibrantly green eyes peer at you through candy pink frames. “Sorry I’m late for the appointment. I was hoping to get out of class in time to meet with you, but I got hit with a last minute assignment. My name is Tashira Nuvalis.” At seeing your confused expression and not getting a response she rolls her eyes and smiles again. “First time on video chat? Just speak up. Your computer has a built in microphone.”

    “Right. Its nice to meet you Miss Nuvalis.” You say, struggling to regain some dignity. “What can I do for you?”

    “I need a new place. I heard you’re the best, so I came to you.”

    “Okay. Will it be you and your parents?” you ask diplomatically.

    She sighs, as if exasperated with that question. “No. I’m emancipated. Mom and Step-dad live in Appaloosa Plains. I hate the country. Since I make enough money as a comic book author and YouTuber, I decided to beat feet. My grandmother left me 20k to get started.”

    You nod, pulling out pen and paper. “What would you like?”

    “An apartment in a city. At least 1 bedroom. Need the basics and a place to write and film my vlogs.” She thinks, “Downtown would be perfect if you could manage it. If it’s too expensive I don’t mind going a little further out. But no suburbs!”

    “That sound doable. Any other preferences?”

    “Well my favourite colour is pink and I love watching the sunset, so a balcony would be nice, but not required. I can’t think of anything else.” She says, toying with a pen. Suddenly a bell rings, making you both jump. “Crud. That’s the bell. I have to go. When would my new place be ready?”

    “Give me 2 weeks.” You assure her confidently. You’ve done harder things in 2 weeks.

    “Great. See ya!” The window closes, leaving you alone in your office. After jotting down some notes, you head out to tell Rose about this unusual appointment.

    Challenge Brief:

    1 bedroom, 1 bath
    Kitchen
    A place to write
    Make sure to use Pink in the décor
    Budget: 20,000

    Sim Challenge:

    Ooh, sound like fun! :smiley:
    One question! Is the 20k budget also includes the lot cost or only the gallery cost?

    For ALL challenges (unless otherwise stated) the budget includes the lot cost plus the gallery cost :)

    Hi!
    No the 5k budget for the balcony is for when you don't want to do or don't have time to do the entire build.
    O there is a separate room challenge with its own budget.

    Congratulations on your wedding @FaithofKaela. May you have many happy years ahead of you. Your idea is great. Try and downsize your build but keep the shape and concept. :)
  • Simming_SpoonieSimming_Spoonie Posts: 1,923 Member
    Thank you for the kind wishes @Isasbella14. I have tried to downsize, but failed, it's just not doable on this design.
