What a gorgeous challenge! I'm excited cause I built a house for a member of my favorite band. But they are nearly unknown and not even rich, but very famous on Iceland and I simply love their music
What a gorgeous challenge! I'm excited cause a build a house for a member of my favorite band. But they are nearly unknown and not even rich, but very famous on Iceland and I simply love their music
Hello @kilra0 I will look forward to seeing your build!
I feel I'm the worst fan for anyone I do not read about the rich and famous and I forget the names of movie stars and jet set celebrities but as @kilra0 I really love one band so I'm building the penthouse for the singer
I think I give this penthouse challenge a miss, anyone doing the sim challenge I might do the singer if it works out because doing it from a real photo of them aren't that easy to do so I will see how it goes
This is my first ever penthouse build and man is it hard making it look good and fitting on top of that building. I feel like I am struggling a lot with the shell and started over sooo many times cause I got new ideas all the time. But it's starting to come together now, slow but steady. It's a pretty big build! Let's hope I get it done in time for the deadline
I know how your feeling @solvorsh I am having such a hard time with the penthouse I want it to blend well with the rest of the apartment building but I'm not a fan of modern building and it just looks so bland lol hopefully something will spark with me soon
@lisa17ann I usually look up modern and contemporary houses on Pinterest for inspiration when I'm building modern cause it can be really hard. But don't be afraid to use your imagination and just put a wall here and there to make interesting shapes and inserts in the walls to spice them up a bit. It's really hard, I know!
I used to always do modern builds in the sims 3, but I kind of lost it with sims 4 and feel more comfortable with traditional family homes these days, haha!
It's more I don't like modern builds lol I wouldn't want to live in a modern house in RL so I think it's just kind of like ugh! Lol but hopefully I'll figure something out. Maybe I picked the wrong celebrity as well...I'm not really into idolising famous people so I just randomly picked one haha maybe if I thought harder about who it's for then it might be easier? I think by the time I figure it out the next challenge will we half way through haha
lol I'm sorry @lisa17ann but you know I am giggling at this conversation, I am always giving her a hard time about modern style its probably the style I do best at yet she does worst at (well thinks she does but they do turn out good)
I can imagine how annoyed shes getting doing modern lol
Very annoyed that's why I left it and went and built a Tudor house haha and then I'll prolly work more on the monthly so who knows if I'll ever get it done well I can barely keep my eyes open so it's Harry Potter audio book time and snuggling up until I pasout cold lol
Ah I see @lisa17ann, I misunderstood you a bit then
I changed my celebrity at least three times before I settled with mine. I think the penthouse will fit him perfectly when I'm done, but it's really hard.
It's a good challenge, @Cbear13, cause it is hard building for someone who exists in real life and that you look up to!
@solvorsh, it's great that you've settled on your celebrity. I haven't even started building anything yet but I've finally decided on my celebrity. Yay! At first I thought I wanted to do something for my favourite band, Coldplay. I don't really follow any other bands so it's the only one I know. Maybe the lead singer's penthouse? But I changed my mind because I can't picture what kind of place he'd like to live in and I'd drive myself crazy trying to figure it out. So I've decided on focusing on an actress instead.
I'm also daunted by the prospect of building a modern penthouse. I don't think I'm good at it at all.
Yeah it doesn't have to be modern but Some traditional penthouse would look real weird on top of that apartment wish it was a brownstone or Victorian type of apartment haha...a girl can dream
I fear I've kicked myself out of the challenge cause I've changed the penthouse (and with it the lot size).
It was such fun that I now have to explain things I've done
The reason why I changed the lot was as I mentioned Sólstafir are neither rich nor very famous, but I fall in love with the idea to build a house for one of them. Whom doesn't matter, I though of Addi first and hope he has no kids so far So I decided the house has to be placed in the art district. It would be also a bit cheaper and when playtesting it I also got a bit in trouble with the low starter budget There they could get known better and profit greatly from the local music scene.
Scandinavian people love to be outside, I hope it's the same with icelandic. Therefore the house is tiny and has big terraces. The lower one is covered with black gravel and should remind of the black sand and lava on the island. The houses name is Svartir Sandar which means black sand. It's the title of an album and song by Sólstafir. I also didn't want to create a beautiful garden. Not because it's for a rock/metal band but because there is only low vegetation on Iceland. The 2 pools are very different, they should present lava and hot springs. And there are almost no curtains. I don't know how to explain that ... it's a scandinavian thing... we're not sent to jail because of nudity haha To have some privacy even so I change the colour of the windows and thought of the changing colours by daylight in icecaves. The rest of the house should match to rock / metal music and icelandic people who love to read and make music. And why a metal band needs a piano? Because it's a very special one (you can see it in the video below)
OK I hope you're not bored now and can enjoy it a bit more

@kilra0 Beautiful Penthouse shame its on the wrong lot for the Challenge
I cam to post that Ive made a boo boo . . . I kinda went over budget by 200,000 so I am going to play test it and share it then strip it of 200,000 worth of Simoleons to enter the challenge lol
might not get the park started today . . . or the spa room . . .
I have always liked Leonardo DiCaprio, I love the movies he was in when he was younger and he is beautiful
I did some research on him to help with creating a sim version of him. Interesting things I found out are he loves to wear hats for his casual everyday wear, and he is very passionate about the environment.
What an awesome challenge, I have thoroughly enjoyed this and it's really taken me out of my comfort zone! I chose to build for Audrey Hepburn, a very beautiful film and fashion icon who portrays total elegance, class and style. Being part of Hollywood's Golden Age I wanted a build to reflect this also, hence the art deco style with lots of glamour
