Your hippies are great!!! And, great landscaping for that pond as well! I love the way you did those roofs. A lot of great ideas here! I wish I'd thought of rain collection!
The hippies and the Commune are great! You have put so much time and work into designing the commune and the various areas of it! Each area suits the theme so very well! The colourful and patterned clothing that the hippies are wearing looks great! The traits that you have chosen for them reflect well that they are hippies. The colours and patterns also used for the walls of the rooms and for the outside of the cabins looks very nice! Very nice layout of the build. It is a very colourfully nice, well designed and very creative hippies commune!

I LOVE your shower tent!! And your composting toilets! And you even added sculpting and glass blowing, I had never even considered additional skill items *doh*! That elaborate roof on the pavilion is astounding!
Build n Share #205 - Back to Basics No CC No CAP Base game only
This house holds a very dear spot in my heart as the first house bought by me and my husband.
The style is American Four Square and ours was built in 1910. The interior of the foursquare is just that, square. Ours had a bay window in the dining room that broke up the boxiness.
Common elements for four squares that were also present in our house were a large front porch across the front of the house, craftsman like woodwork (luckily ours was never painted), built in cabinetry (we had a china hutch and butler's pantry) and a hipped roof with 3 or 4 dormers.
The lower level had massive pocket doors that closed off the living room from the foyer and dining room. The front, back and upstairs doors had transoms, that way you could close the doors open the transoms and have excellent air flow.
We also thought it was possible that the house was a Sears House because we found numbers on a lot of the wood in the attic and the window sills and sashes had small brass numbered buttons on them. This was never confirmed but it was fun to think about
There were no garages because once the original one fell down the city would not allow you to build a new one.
Exterior
Birdeye
First floor shows the boxy style of the American Four Square. Foyer, living room, dining room and kitchen with a back door to a small covered porch.
There was a huge old maple tree in the back where there lived the biggest spider I have ever seen, ick.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two full baths. Our house only had the one bathroom with a claw foot tub and a rinky 🐸🐸🐸🐸 shower but it was charming.
I had to switch the floor plan here to accommodate the second bath.
Let's go in
To the living room - pocket doors would divide the foyer and living room here
To the dining room
Kitchen - the kitchen is remarkably similar to the original house
Your First House build is very special! It was very nice reading what you wrote about your husband and your’s first home, You have have reflected the original home very well! Very nice exterior of the home! The roofing with the four sides of dormers looks very nice! I would not have liked having a big spider in the maple tree! Very nice backyard area for sims to enjoy cooking on the bbq and eating food outdoors in the air at the picnic table. Sims will enjoy swinging on the swing. Very nice corner vegie patch for sims to enjoy growing and harvesting plants. Very nice furnishing of the interior! The wall paneling /patterning in the rooms looks very nice. It is a special touch that you placed the home picture on the wall of the upper landing area. Very nice colour schemes of the bedrooms. The dining room looks a very nice place for sims to enjoy eating their meals with sunlight coming in through the pretty patterned curtain windows. The plants and flowers add a very nice look to the rooms through the home.
It would be a very special build that you created, as it brings back memories of happy times spent in that home
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to come by to comment on your house. It's a great build with a special background - thanks so much for sharing it and your pictures with us here. You recreated it very well.
Design a Mars Habitation for a 6-Sim team of astronauts and scientists.
Habitation must be fully self-contained (there is no atmosphere!)
Must include areas or objects for sleeping, hygiene, fitness, cooking, recreation, plants, and research.
Built on a 30x30 or smaller lot. No more than 1 level below ground (including foundation basements) and no more than two levels above ground. (for a maximum of 3 total floors)
This is a prototype build, so ‘landscape’ doesn’t matter, but it should be isolated from other structures.
Mission: Mars
Walk around views
Birds-eye views
The facility is built on three levels
Level one has the garage (transportation center, two decontamination chambers that each lead to the research labs, one lab is for science studies and the other is Research/Robitics. The labs are on either sided of the main hall that has two all-in-ones and both lifts and stairs to the living areas on the second level.
Level 2 is the living area for the astronauts. The main hall leads to the kitchen/dining area, two full baths, the lounge and two dorms, each with baths.
Level 3 contains the greenhouse for Botanical studies and a gym complete with music.
Our Facility Tour begins with a few closer shots of the exterior
Water and air inputs
Entry is through the garage or the "Transportation Chamber". All manner of space transport is stored here.
The doors from the garage lead to the decontamination chambers and into the to the two research labs
The decontamination chambers have lockers for gear as well as helmet storage
The Labs
First is the Science Lab - studies on how living on Mars would affect the sims (and ants) to follow
Across the main hall is the Robotics/Research Lab
Level 2 - Living Area
Level 2 main hall with lifts and stairs to the third level, 2 dorms each with bath, Living room, kitchen and dining room and two full baths.
The main hall has two desks with computers and the Laser-Rhythm-a-Con.
The kitchen is designed to be fully functional and includes options for quick and speedy meals or the ability to cook a conventional meal
Between the kitchen and lounge are two full baths
The lounge has a TV with gaming console, chess, reading, a stereo and fish tank
The Dorms each have two bunk beds, dressers, a sofa and a telescope. Holographic walls help remind the astronauts of earth.
Warm earth tones make for a restful room
Soothing greens and a hardwood floor feels like home
Level 3 - Gym and Botanical Studies ( The greenhouse)
Your Mars Habitation build is very creatively great! You have designed each level and area of the build so very well! It was great going on a tour of the build with you, and looking at the pictures of each area and reading what you wrote about each area. You have very creatively designed each aspect of the build, and the type of funishings used capture the challenge theme so very well!
I really love what you did with the bubble tubes!!! The decon station is a great idea too! I love the overall shape and that entry on either side of the garage door that way! I also love the glass on top and the way you did the roof with all those different glass roof pieces.
