Hi guys! This is going to be a reoccurring every 2-3 weeks.
You've been hired as the main designer for the Sim City Contracting Company! Your challenge today, if you choose to accept it, is to create a livable sim home from the rough floor plans the clients have chosen! Every 2 weeks you will receive a new floor plan! You have full design freedom, open budget, and can use cheats or CC if desired! In fact, CC is recommended! I want to see what amazing creations you can come up with! Please try to keep your builds within the floor plan guidelines, come up with a way to measure it, I often use 2 feet equals 1 square in The Sims, however, I understand some builds will not allow for that space. So, keep it all relative to size.
Current week's Challenge is here:
FEBURARY 2019 and runs until March 1st

This week includes an optional bonus room, feel free to add it in if you'd like, or leave it off.
Your clients would like a craftsman style home, they would like that design element to fit inside and out, they would like to be able to envision this home furnished and fully complete.
They do not need a garage, however, they would like a garden space in that area, covered if possible.
Your clients would like to see a top down image, and at least 1 image from each room, and at least 1 view of the entire house from the front. Please include them in this post.

A Craftsman is a particular architectural style of house that developed in the late 19th and early 20th century. The Wikipedia article is interesting reading (linked)!
This page talks about some of the common characteristics of Craftsman style (linked). The Season game pack came with some build items that were designed with a Craftsman style. The Mission style furniture (often called Mega) is excellent for Craftsman builds!
"General Characteristics
The typical Craftsman home usually has the following features:
Low-pitched roof
Deep eaves with exposed rafters
Decorative knee braces.
1–1½ stories
Built-in cabinetry
Large fireplace, often with built-in cabinetry on either side
Dormers
Large, covered front porches with massive, battered columns
Windows were typically double-hung with multiple lights in the upper window and a single pane in the lower
Many fine details including hammered metalwork in copper and bronze, and art tiles by notable American art potters like Batchelder, Grueby, Rookwood, and the Roycrofters."
Although, I may end up changing out some of the windows. The ones on the front feel a little heavy, while the ones along the backside feel a bit sparse. I was making every effort to stick to the placement of the windows on the plan, but I may have to add a few more, just to balance things out. We'll see.
Cheers,
Ro

I love this! It looks excellent! I love the colors you've chosen! It's very in tune with a "traditional craftsman style home" I'm sure your clients will love it! I can't wait to see the inside!

I never use cc when building to upload on the gallery, so I had a lot of fun going crazy with all my favorite furnishings which are by Peacemaker at https://simsationaldesigns.blogspot.com/ CC includes Hamptons Hideaway, Hamptons Retreat, Hamptons Getaway, Shaker Kitchen Collection, Bayside Bedroom, Midcentury Eclectic, and a tile and curtain collection.
I skipped the optional second-floor room, turned one bedroom into a guest room and the other into an office/study. I also skipped the covered gardening area and gave them a greenhouse.

I must have missed this info earlier. I decorated my house with an adult master bedroom, a young adult bedroom/guest room, and a child bedroom.
@rosemow Thank you so much for your review!!
@Kelleygirl Your version of this house is lovely! I love the color schemes throughout your house and I love the Landscaping! great job!
@Strongbumblebee Thank you! I had a lot of fun with this house. I learned what craftsmen style was and I tried my best to replicate that in the interior as well as the exterior. I think having guidelines like that are really fun and I love using floor plans for builds! I can't wait to see what you have for us next!
