there's a troll in the comments of my build so I started reporting their posts haha
There are always trolls/haters.They're obviously small minded uncreative dorks, or they wouldn't waste their time insulting other people's builds/sims. It serves no purpose. I actually feel kind of bad when I don't get many haters...like I wasn't twisted enough..haha!

Thanks @Ainsleyf. The layout of the containers is in the spoiler.

@Creepsa Astounding build! Me thinks I'm a loser this round, for sure. The builds, so far posted, are just astonishing to me. I seem to suffer from an appalling lack of imagination! BUT, that said, do tell me, where did you find the ATMs, I knew they were there but just could not find them! All I could find was the "stolen" machines, and I have all of the game & stuff packs! I'm constantly forgetting what catalogue I saw things in and worse, it seems to me, some things just go missing from time to time, then show up again later.

ENTRY DETAILS: (Be sure to tell us about your entry)
The architect decided to embrace the original aesthetic of the shipping containers and incorporate their color, shape, and exterior into the build (the pillars are the corrugated metal and extra support for strength at the edges the shipping containers have. The exterior room trim and foundation are also representations of additional reinforcement.). Because of the incredible, always sunny climate the Sims enjoy, we were able to incorporate a lot of activities in the outdoor spaces. The grounds include a balcony with hot tub, basketball hoops, pool, a detached spa building, a walking track, and patio areas with table seating. The spa includes full body massage, chair massage, spa soaking tub, meditation room, and sauna. The main gym complex includes weight room with nautilus machines and rock climbing walls, yoga studio, café including a vending machine for sandwiches and soda, boxing, changing rooms with shower and toilet, cardio room with treadmills, and a special room with a dance floor and DJ booth to boost the heart rate with fun dancing. The yoga studio has a schedule of classes posted on the wall. The table in the café functions like counter or bar seating overlooking the patio and includes folded cards with information on gym membership. There are clocks in all of the rooms so Sims can time their workouts. The gym uses specialty basketball flooring throughout so there is an appropriately cushioned flooring surface for working out. The more vibration-causing equipment has additional cushioning.

As you come into the office one morning, Karl is waiting with a steaming cup of coffee. You take your first sip, and Karl reminds you of the new client coming in 20 minutes.
“This should be an interesting project,” he says giving you a knowing look.
“Really? How so?” you answer.
“You’ll see!” he says mysteriously.
The client turns out to be a handsome woman of a certain age named Vanessa Hubbard.
“I’m so glad you could see me on such short notice!” she begins breathlessly.
“Of course, Mrs. Hubbard. Happy to help. I understand you’ve lost someone dear to you recently. My deepest condolences.”
“Yes, yes. Thank you.” She dabs a tear from her eye. “But Mr. Hubbard died doing what he liked to do best.”
“May I ask how he…”
“Yes, yes. I don’t mind talking about it. He died during the annual running of the llamas in San Myshuno.”
“Oh my! I’m so sorry! He was trampled…”
“No, no! Nothing like that. He was watching the event from his favorite sushi restaurant and got a bad piece of pufferfish. He really loved sushi, though. And especially pufferfish.”
“Oh…” You don’t quite what to say to that. “Well then, um… how may I help you?”
“Well, before Mr. Hubbard died, we had been talking about relocating our family to Newcrest. We’re kind of cramped right now—what with six children and all. Anyway, we were looking at one of those cute 15 x 20 lots, but there was no way we could afford to build there. But then this happens! And now I have §125,000 from the restaurant to build my family a new home.”
“So you want a house for seven people on a 15 x 20 lot? That is a tall order,” you say.
“Oh yes! Tall! The house can be as tall as you like. I will need 5 bedrooms, I think: one for me; one each for my teens, Vincent and Violet; one for Vivienne (child) and Vanna (toddler); and one for Victor (child) and Van (toddler). But please don’t put any of the bedrooms in a basement! I want all my children to have windows to look out of. And the older children will need desks, of course. And it would be nice if they all had a recreation room with fun, age-appropriate activities. Oh, and I’d love to have an ensuite bathroom and maybe a corner—it can be in my bedroom—to sit and read my romance novels and kind of ‘get away’ once in a while, if you know what I mean. [You nod your head.] Let’s see. Did I forget anything? Oh, of course! Maybe two more bathrooms for the kids to share and maybe a little yard for the wee ones to play in? Do you thing that can be done?”
“I’m sure we can come up with something,” you say confidently while wondering how on earth you can fit everything in on a small lot.
“Oh my!” she suddenly shouts. “I forgot! Can you make the house look like a shoe? It would make us all feel so at home.”
“Why not?!” you answer.
THE BRIEF:
15 x 20 lot in Newcrest
5 bedrooms (1 adult, 2 teens, 1 for boy child and toddler, 1 for girl child and toddler)
3 full bathrooms (1 ensuite to adult bedroom)
reading nook
desks (4) for 2 teens and 2 children
recreation room for all the children
usual kitchen, dining (for 7), and living areas
yard for children and toddlers
STYLE: house made to look like a shoe, traditional interiors
BUDGET: §125,000 (lot + build cost)
ROOM CHALLENGE: Create a bedroom for Vanessa Hubbard with a reading nook; Budget: §8,000
SIM CHALLENGE: Create the Hubbard family: Vanessa (mother), Vincent (teen boy), Violet (teen girl), Victor (boy child), Vivienne (girl child), Van (boy toddler), Vanna (girl toddler). Vanessa’s aspiration is Successful Lineage. Everything else is up to you!
