QC challenge no: 72
Origin ID: crystalkaw74
Original Lot used (lot name and town): Rustic Residence in Windenburg
Gallery Build Name: A Snowy Christmas
Gallery Link:A Snowy Christmas
Notes about entry: A small cozy winter home for a small family with twin boys. Since they decided that driving a car pollutes the enviroment, the Kjielbergs converted the garage in a hobby room. The father has his own fitness room above the garage, while the mother enjoys cooking family meals in their kitchen. The boys aren't to fond of cleaning up and so their room is quite messy.

This build kind of drove me crazy, since I wanted to use stuff I learned during the creation of Christmas Dreams about terrain tools and Kate Emerald's tutorial about connecting rooms with different foundation.
First thing I found out is that her connecting method doesn't work if connecting a ground floor to the first floor. So instead I used roofs to create the illusion of connecting the two rooms. But apparently the update with the new holiday objects changed something there. The roofs used disappeared

In the end I connected the two rooms with those stone decoration panels.
But basically now both rooms are outside and the light behaves like that too

So I asume Sims will be cold in those two rooms.

Then I had a weird bug with my Sims being able to walk up the stairs to the house but not down again. Solved that by adding three stairs instead of a three tile long one.

But now to the pictures!

I am sorry that you had the issues with your build @crysk

I am glad though that you were able to have a workaround for them.
Very nice exterior design of A Snowy Christmas!

The white pretty Christmas lights and garlands on the roofing and windows looks very festively nice! Very nice terrain work! The snowman, reindeer and nutcracker in the front yard are cute! Very nice kitchen. The wooden texture of the kitchen cabinets and counters looks homely, and the hanging herbs, wall utensils, olive oil bottles and cookbooks are nice kitchen touches. It looks great how you have created the fridge nook. Very nice sunken dining area. The festive patterned dining table with the candles on it is nice for Sims to enjoy eating a meal at. The Christmas tree on the table in the corner is pretty for Sims to see when dining. The row of string of Christmas cards is a special touch. Very nice green colour scheme of the living room. The festive garlands, new patch wall pictures and wreath on the walls and windows look very nice, and the nutcrackers and reindeer look great there! The windows sofas sitting nook is very nice for Sims to enjoy having fun opening up their brightly coloured Christmas presents that are near the pretty Christmas tree! The festive fireplace will keep the room warm. The Christmas log, cards and mason jar items are nice touches on the fireplace ledge. The teddy is cute watching on! Very nice design and furnishing of the bedrooms! The boys bedroom does look a bit messy! It looks nice that a screen shade divides off a nook sitting area in the master bedroom.
The home is very nice for Christmas !

Reformed Scrooge is a very nice Victorian Christmas home! @withlovejulien

The Victorian architecture, and brick texture of the exterior looks very nice. The type of windows used and the festive wreaths on them looks very nice. The garlands on the archways in the entrance porch nook and on the porch railings and wreath on the window look very pretty! The Christmas tree on the upper balcony looks very festively nice! The stable and manger in the front yard is very special

You have designed it so very well! The reindeers in the other area of the front yard and nutcracker on the porch are cute! Very nice furnishing of the interior! The study room is very nice! The garlands look very festively nice placed around your very nice portrait artwork , around the door and along the fireplace . The candles are calming in the room. Very nice brown wall panelling. Sims will enjoy using the computer at the desk or reading a book. Very nice dining room! Sims will enjoy sitting at the festive dining table eating a Christmas meal . The lamps and candles on the table, ceiling candlelights and the gold edged mirrors look very nice. The Christmas tree is very nice for Sims to see whilst eating a meal. It is great that there are 6 bedrooms in the home! Very nice furnishing of the bedrooms. It is nice that there is a Christmas tree nook in the master bedroom. The golden mirror of the bedhead wall is a nice touch.
It is a very nice stately Victorian home!

Hey @Cbear13 --- I just watched "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town," and now I know where you got Kris Kringle's wife's name Jessica from in last year's Christmas challenge about the Kringles

! I saw all the other old Christmas specials as a child, but I don't know how I missed this one

! It was great to finally watch it

! Merry Christmas to you and your family, and to everyone on this thread

!

rosemow · December 2018

Happy Christmas to you also! @coolsim9999999

coolsim9999999 · December 2018
