    #BnS120 - There's Some History There

    The deadline for this challenge is 5th June 2019

    You can easily pretend the flutter in your stomach is just the plane beginning its final descent. The flight attendants have already walked the cabin to remind everyone to put their trays and seat-backs upright. It hardly seems like it’s been only 14 hours since you got the call from your former architectural professor from University.

    The recent droughts have produced at least one small silver lining, and you’ve been asked to come visit the newly unearthed archaeological dig.

    “You’ll love it,” the excited voice on the other end of the line had said. “After all, architecture is just as much about history as any other field. And who better to appreciate these buildings?”

    Your professor always did have a flair, but to be invited to an honest-to-goodness dig site is a greater honor than you ever expected! To walk in the ancient footsteps of those who built before you, see the age-old tools - some of which are even still used today - and really experience a moment out of time.

    The tires touch concrete with barely a jolt, the pilot is a good one! Before long you’ve got your luggage in tow and are greeted by a friendly face from years ago.

    “I’m so glad you could make it!” Professor Webb says, taking your hand in a warm shake.

    “I was so surprised to get your call, but I couldn’t possibly pass up this opportunity!” you say.

    “Well, I have been following your career for years. You’ve made me so proud! You were always so eager and bright, but you’ve blown me away with your works. I though, if anyone would appreciate this momentous opportunity, it would be you!”

    As the driver takes your suitcases and loads them into the trunk, you and your old professor climb into the back seat, catching up on old times. The drive lasts a few hours, and you’re eager to stretch your legs by the time you arrive at the dig. But it’s your breath you’re having to catch as you are lead up to the expansive site.

    “Oh! Oh my goodness!” The scene is extraordinary! So much more than you had imagined. Not just a hole in the ground with some items of interest, but there is almost a whole foundation uncovered, detailed sections of flooring, even some posts still visible around the exterior.

    Professor Webb leads you down to the lowest levels where you can get a good look. “Well? What do you think?”

    “I think this is… a chance of a lifetime! I can’t thank you enough!”

    The professor smiles, so glad you accepted the offer to come and help rebuild the ancient settlement.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Just a quick one I made up, the pictures didn't turn out so good (maybe game camera settings) and this description is terrible I forgot to upload him and doing it last min that's why he isn't happy. (what a surprise lol) (maybe game camera settings) He's in the mid 50's. I went for a premade outfit but thats because it has a canvas jacket with lots of pockets and large pant pockets with is great for an archaeologist, leather boots. Because he can't pack much when he's out in a dig he has a fun formal look to spice up his look. His athlete clothes are just a plain shirt and sweatpants that he can wear with other outfits and his sneakers his only pair to save space in this suitcase. He has a robe for warm climates and can wear the shirt and sweats if it's colder to bed, slippers are a most to go to the bathroom at night when sleeping in a tent so you don't have to put on shoes. His party look is on the plain side and once again can be used in other looks. Hot weather look is rolled up pants (can be rolled down to avoid scraps and stuff at the digs) a t-shirt with a bottom up over it encase it gets cool at night, scarf for sand and a hat for sun protection. Cold weather is a traditional professor look that he would wear in the classroom.

    #BnS121 - Breaking Out Of The Box

    The deadline for this challenge is 19th June 2019

    While you are checking out at the grocery store, a young boy and girl come in and ask the cashier if she has any boxes for them. The cashier assures them that she does and will have them brought to the front as soon as she finishes checking out the short line of customers. You wonder what kind of school project they are doing as you walk out to the parking lot and put your groceries in the car. You push your empty cart back into the store as the children come out, struggling to carry four large, flattened cardboard boxes.

    "I hope Daddy will be able to make us a bedroom with these boxes!" the girl says excitedly as the boxes slip in her hands.

    "Hold them tighter," the little boy commands as he stops and waits for her to get a better grip on the cardboard.

    Curious as to the actual use of the boxes now, you offer to help the children carry them. They agree. You grab one end of the flattened boxes, and the children each grab a corner on the other end. A short walk down the road and into an alley later, and an extremely unique sight greets you. It is a series of large cardboard boxes made into a sort of house with what looks like multiple rooms.

    "That is our castle," the little boy says, pointing to the cardboard structure. "Daddy keeps adding rooms as we get more boxes."

    "Daddy is very handy," the little girl adds seriously.

    A woman's voice calls out, "Amada! Bernardo! Is that you?" The woman emerges from the huge set of multi-sized boxes, carrying a baby and leading a toddler. She freezes when she sees you.

    You introduce yourself and explain that you are just helping the children carry the large boxes. Then you casually ask, "Do you live in these boxes? They are definitely well put together! Is that wax on the top?" You are seeing gobs of white, drippy stuff all over the tops of the boxes, and some of it is dried along the seams.

    The woman thaws a little and says, "Yes, wax. We melt candles to make the house more water prof from the rain. It is my husband Domingo's idea."

    "Genius!" you exclaim and are rewarded with a slight smile.

    The kids beg to show you the inside, and you agree that you would like to see it. Reluctantly, the woman agrees and leads the way inside. Her children follow her, and you bring up the rear.

    The first room is about four feet tall and six feet long by five feet wide. You notice odd pieces of wood taped to the "seams" in the boxes to help hold them upright. There are magazine pictures taped to the walls to make the interior more homey. A shabby rug covers a large section of the floor.

    "This is our living room," Amada says shyly. "We sleep back there and our parents sleep in here."

    "Come and see," says Bernardo. All three of you pass through what could be called a hallway. A small room on the left has a ten-gallon paint bucket with a cover on it, and you pause to look at it.

    Amada sees you looking and says one word. "Toilet."

    "Ahh!" you say. Interesting indoor plumbing you think as you continue on to the room at the end. A little smaller than the living room, this room has sleeping bags covering the floor.

    "We will be able to build another bedroom as soon as Daddy gets enough boxes," Bernardo explains. "Then things will not be so cramped." Amada nods.

    "How long have you been living here?" you ask quietly.

    Bernardo looks at his hands. Finally Amada speaks. "Nearly two months. Daddy lost his job. He sold the car, but we still could not pay rent the next month. They kicked us out."

    "But Daddy does odd jobs whenever he can. The guy that owns the restaurant here let's us stay in his alley and use the hose for water," Bernardo adds defensively. "And our older sister Emelda works part time at a fast food restaurant. She brings us food at night that they think she has thrown out. Sometimes she picks up a few side jobs, too."

    "So, five children and two parents..." you say, thinking aloud. The children nod in agreement.

    Taking a last look around and leaving with words of encouragement to the family and a $50 donation for their needs, you venture out into the dusk. You slowly walk back to your car, vowing silently to help this family as much as you can.

    The next day you send an employee over to collect the father and oldest daughter for full-time jobs with good pay and benefits. You set them to work at your newest construction site, building their very own new home ( without telling them, of course).


    THE BRIEF


    You chip in §30,000 of your own money and manage to raise another §30,000 from generous community members for a total budget of §60,000.
    Use a 30x20 or 30x40 lot. The cost of the lot comes out of your §60,000 budget.
    Design a 4 bedroom/2 bath home for the destitute family.
    The toddler and baby will share a room. You can either have the two girls or Amada and Bernado sharing a room as well.
    Include laundry, an eat-in kitchen, a family room, and an outdoor play area for the kids.


    Room Challenge

    Create a bedroom room with two children sharing the space. The budget is $10,000.


    Sims Challenge

    Create the family of seven. Include likes, skills, and clothing choices.

    Please use the whole of hashtag #BnS121 when you upload your creations. Any build, room or household without this hashtag will not be judged.

    ENTRY DETAILS: A smartly engineered home. I designed this as if the first 30G was donated money, and the other 30G was from items donated by the community. The solar panels donated by the Energy company. The garden plot put together by the local gardening club. Counters and fridge donate by a restaurant supply company. Books and toys donate by town members, etc.
    This home has the solar panels to reduce electric bill costs, Rain Tank to help with the Garden plot and to lower water costs. Fire places to reduce heating costs. Garden plot to supplement food stores. Although there still needs to be some homey touches needed, it is a lovely home for the group of 7
    The Main living area is on the 2nd floor, to take advantage of the natural light from the many Windows. Kids can do their homework at the dining table, or at the computer desk. A toy box for the kids to play as well. Mom can watch from the living room, or while cooking. The bedrooms are on the first floor.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    This house is built to provide natural air conditioning, by putting most of the living areas in the basement, where the temperature is more constant. It does have a thermostat, just in case the temperature does need to get regulated manually. The attic features a master bedroom, space to hang laundry, and a small study area. The ground floor has a live-in kitchen, bathroom, and a bedroom. The basement features a living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and an extra room.
    When the family heard the house they built was for them, they were overjoyed. The parents decided to spend the money mostly on family spaces and the kids’ rooms and kept their own bedroom simple but comfortable. Emelda wants to get big in fashion, and because she has a job and is making money of her own, she has a big walk-in closet for all the clothes she’s certainly going to buy now. She also got her own laptop for schoolwork and fashion designing. The bedroom on the ground floor has been designated the toddler/baby room and is least decorated of all, as the family figured the tot and baby would grow out of it so fast it was a waste of money to decorate it too much. The shared kids’ room, however, has been fully decorated to each kid’s individual taste. They each have their own desk for doing homework and they both got to choose how to paint their own half of the room and what carpets to get on the floor, etc. The extra room was turned into an activities room and was decorated using a little of everybody’s input. It features many different activities, so the kids can finally have a chance at developing whatever skill they want to. For the living room, the family decided to keep it simple and cozy. They have a nice wood burner, a bunch of couches and comfy chairs, and plenty of plants to give the space a less basement-y feeling. Every bedroom has their own laundry basket, so collecting laundry is easy for whoever is doing it this time (this family all do their part in the household). There is a clothesline outside, and one in the attic for the rare occasions of rain in the desert, or when a sandstorm is brewing. Outside on the patio they also have a small area dedicated to growing their own veggies, and an apple tree was planted outside to commemorate the joyous day of them moving into this wonderful house. The patio also features a barbecue and two picnic table, so they can all enjoy their meals outside if they want. At the side of the house there are two beehives and a lot of planted wild flowers, for mom’s new hobby: honey making. Then, at the back, there’s a little woodworking shed for dad, and a play area for the kids, including a kiddie pool to cool off in the desert heat.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Full House is just as it sounds, a house made for a deserving family who can form their own basketball team. Originally the plan was for a 4 bedroom and 2 bath home. However this family has been cramped for too long. This home has a bedroom for everyone, no need to share. And I threw in an extra bathroom to help their sanity. This home hosts an open concept floorplan. The nice size family room is perfect to watch a nice wholesome Disney movie or maybe a family game night. It's not easy for a family of seven to all sit down and eat dinner together. This is not a problem for this home, with a table large enough to fit everyone and a few extra spots on the island for guests. There are a lot of stinky socks in a family of seven, luckily this home includes a laundry area. Who will do the laundry is a whole other story.

    ENTRY DETAILS: The down on their luck family will be moving into a modern new home that provides everyone with ample space. (FYI, I discovered only after I had finished the build--and was attempting to playtest--that bunks/loft beds no longer seem to work. I Googled around, and this seems to be a thing since the patch in November 2018?? I haven't played in a while and was not aware of this, but I didn't want to change my whole room around for the sake of playability in this case.) ALSO...Bernardo's portion of the room in the final picture on Imgur is slightly different than the top down view. I swapped out the pool ladders for wall shelves and added a guardrail. I just didn't go through and get new top down pics.

    ENTRY DETAILS: The thought that popped into my head was that I acquired two new but incomplete single wide trailers one red the other blue and butted them together at the hallway and then added the porches and stuff. The front stick-out is the study and the living room, the back stick-out is the kitchen with eat-in dining table. I find this layout very playable as my preference for playing large families is to be on one level. This is a nice fenced lot near a playground with plenty of greenery around even though it is in the city.

    HOUSEHOLD: Reyes https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/AFA665858EEE11E98C6560CCA9235FE7
    Diego Reyes is a Salvadorada native who left for Windenberg when he was young, wanting to find a life different from what was available at home. He met Renata, who was working as a barista at the time, and quickly fell in love. The pair didn't wait long to start their family, and for a while life was good, if not luxurious. Then it all went wrong and the family ended up on the street after Diego lost his job and their rental. Now, with their modest new home and new jobs for Diego and Emelda, things are looking up again.
    I kept the family's clothing simple, mostly basics with some Salvadoradan influences mixed in to reflect their heritage. Nothing too fancy for this family, but they're not necessarily ragged either.

    ENTRY DETAILS: After living for some time in a house made of cardboard we thought the family would enjoy a traditional and homey building. The parents room is downstairs and we tried to create an en suite bathroom mixed with a shared half bathroom for family and visitors. A living room with a reading nook and the eat-in kitchen complete this floor. Upstairs is for the kids. The baby and the toddler share a room ready for two toddlers and easy to upgrade for two kids. Bernardo has his own bedroom and the two big sisters share a bedroom. The laundry and another full bath equipped with a potty for the toddlers are in this floor too. From the kitchen or by the right side of the house you can access the backyard, with a swing, a kiddie pool and a sandbox for the children; and a table under an umbrella for the grown ups. The lot is open in the back as there’s a community bbq zone where they will be able to mingle with the neighbors.

    #BnS122 - Summer Camp

    The deadline for this challenge is 10th July 2019

    It isn’t often you meet a client at a site, but this is the perfect day for it. The sun is shining and the whole land seems to turn its face toward its warmth and smile. There is a gentle breeze rustling through the trees and a bee bumbles past you as you walk from your car toward the shrieks of laughter coming from the children.

    From across the field you see Mrs. Davis smile and wave at you. You return the gesture and soon are shaking hands.

    “Thank you so much for agreeing to meet me here,” Mrs. Davis says.

    “It is my pleasure,” you say. “Such a beautiful site. And the children already seem to love it!”

    “We are hoping to make that a reality for many more children,” she says. “So many kids who have only ever known the city. Summer camp might be the first time they’ve ever been around trees and open air.”

    You nod and take out your notebook. “So what are you looking for?”

    “The usual, mostly,” Mrs. Davis says as she fends off a pair of rambunctious children playing swords with sticks. “Cabins for the kids, toilets and baths, mess hall, office...”

    You are both distracted by the sudden wail of a child having fallen down and scraped a knee. Another adult scoops him up.

    “Oh yes, and a nursing station,” she says with a sigh. “Of course, outdoor activities, too. That is the main point.”

    “Of course,” you agree, jotting down ideas already as you look around you and think of how you can fit things in without losing the natural beauty here.

    “When do you think it can be ready?” Mrs. Davis asks.

    “I think you can expect your first batch of summer camp recruits two weeks from now,” you say with a smile, loving how surprised she looks.

    The Budget is §199,000 (lot cost must be included in this amount)

    ENTRY DETAILS: This is my first ever build for a challenge….it’s been fun! My screen shots are nowhere near the great pics I see you guys posting but I hope you get the idea…..
    Camp SunnySim is all about getting back to basics and into the outdoors, and I’ve tried to make it feel like the camp blends in with the surrounding area. With space for 8 girls and 10 boys, the sleeping might be basic but the camp offers lots of activities…swimming and canoeing on the lake, fishing, horse riding, bike riding, axe throwing, camp fires and a climbing wall…..there’s also arts & crafts and a chance for kids to show off their talents on stage in the nightly show.
    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please
    CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: Lots of CC used – some recoloured by me (I learned some SimsStudio just for this challenge!) I love CC and got much of it before I realised I’d need to credit but includes – Severinka, SimDoughnit, Ozyman, Budgie….apologies to the many other amazing artists that I’ve definitely missed! I tried to keep the CC cost in line with maxis costs (no $1/high quality etc)

    #BnS123 - The Family Emergency

    The deadline for this challenge is 24th July 2019

    You take a sip of tea as you gaze out of your office window, relaxing for a minute before you start designing for a new client. But there is a brisk knock on the door before Karla immediately bursts in looking excited and a little stressed out.

    "Sorry to disturb you, but they keep saying it is an emergency," she sputters. Karla is Karl's sister whom you’ve taken on as a backup assistant while Karl is taking a well deserved vacation for a few weeks. In retrospect, it may not have been your best idea ever. You make a mental note to remind her to wait for the okay to come in after knocking.

    "Who is saying that? What is going on?" you ask, feeling just a little stressed yourself by Karla’s frazzled manner. Karla may be Karl’s twin, but the two couldn’t be more different.

    "The..." Karla consults her notebook. "The Costello family. Anthony, Irma, Regina, Maximilian,
    Roberto, and...well, the baby. " She looks up and smiles widely, as if she has done a good job.

    "Perhaps it would be easiest if you just let them in." You smile back and can't help wondering what the emergency is.

    The dark-haired Costello family piles through the doorway. Karla closes the door a little too hard behind them, and everyone, including you, jumps. The man is tall and thin. The woman, who is holding a sleeping baby. The girl is a lanky teenager in old, faded jeans, and you note that her eyes are glued to her cell phone, tuning out everything around her. The twin boys are clearly dressed to try to mimic their older sister’s style, but they look like they have a bit of baby fat to get rid of in order to pull it off. The baby asleep in the woman’s arms (his mother?) looks just like a little chubby angel.

    "Hello, welcome!” you say, trying to put the family at ease. Please have a seat and tell me about yourselves.”

    Anthony gives you a firm handshake before taking his seat. You notice gray hairs and fine wrinkles, which were not distinguishable from a distance. When you glance at Irma, you notice she has the same gray hairs and fine wrinkles of age. They’re not elders yet, but they’re not as young as you first thought. The kids all look at the floor, sad and quiet.

    Irma takes a deep, breath heavy with sadness and emotion. "We are sorry to burst in on you like this, but we are having a family emergency and desperately need help right away."

    Anthony, also clearly fighting back emotion, avoids your eyes for a few seconds as he begins to explain, “The rogue tornado that tore through Sunset Valley a few days ago killed our only son Chip and his wife Delilah. The children, thank goodness, escaped the worst of the storm since they were in class at the Community School for the Gifted at the time."

    He shakes his head sadly and looks up at you. "So we are taking the children to raise, but our one bedroom condo in Bridgeport is just not enough space for six people."

    "I am very sorry for your loss, but I do agree with you. That condo sounds very cramped," you say sympathetically. "Sounds like you need a new house, and fast."

    "Well, yes and no,” he clarifies. “We have a fairly large plot of land with a vacation cabin on it in Willow Creek. It already has two tiny bedrooms - just big enough for two single beds and a dresser in each. A little bathroom, a hallway, and a family room with a small galley kitchen comprise the rest of the cabin. Great for a few days vacation, obviously, but not for constant living," Anthony relays.

    Irma chimes in. "We are really hoping you could add at least two more baths, expand the current spaces, and add at least two more bedrooms. And a laundry room is vital - we’re doing laundry constantly with all these precious darlings," she says, gesturing to her new brood.

    Anthony adds, "Irma is the best baker I know, so the kitchen needs plenty of counter space, please." Irma blushes a bit with pride and gives Anthony a beaming smile.

    "What about style, colors, finishes?" you ask. Irma, obviously the planner of the family, hands you a piece of paper which you start to glance over.

    Anthony explains, "Irma made up of a list of our must haves and likes. Our budget is only $135,000. Do you think you can make it all work?" He looks slightly anxious.

    You smile reassuringly. "Definitely! We can have the house renovated to your specs in no more than two weeks. Is that soon enough?"

    "We really appreciate that!" Irma says, tears welling in her eyes.

    Hiding a bit of emotion of your own, you lead Anthony and Irma through the paperwork and begin planning their new family home.


    THE BRIEF


    You must use the house Rindle Rose which totals §36,774. You have §135,000 to spend in addition to that amount, for a total of §178,000 (rounded up from §177,774).
    You can place the house on any lot Willow Creek, but you must include the cost of the lot in the §178,000 budget.
    You can change all of the wallpapers, flooring and interior furnishings as you see fit.
    You cannot delete the outer walls, but you can completely gut the inside and add walls onto the current exterior.
    Keep the existing foundation and wall heights the same - these cannot be changed.
    You can add a basement or upper floor if you wish.
    The Costellos prefer soft pastels or neutral colors for the living areas and master suite.

    MUST INCLUDE:

    a kitchen geared towards baking, with plenty of counter space.
    a laundry room.
    a total of at least three full bathrooms.
    a total of at least four bedrooms (should be larger than the current bedrooms).
    a laundry room [Sims 4 - Laundry stuff is not required - be creative with MOO and the objects you have in your game]

    Childrens’ Preferences:

    Regina is into pink, purple, and gold. She enjoys ballet, ice skating, and painting.
    Maximillian's favorite colors are green and black. He loves football and video games.
    Roberto's favorite color is blue. He loves Westerns, cowboys , horses, and video games.
    The baby (can be a toddler) responds well to bright, primary colors. It loves learning toys and teddy bears.


    Sim Challenge

    Create the family and show them enjoying their new home. Include their likes, skills, and jobs where applicable. Also show pictures of their clothes.


    Room Challenge

    Create a nursery for the baby/toddler. It can be for a baby or toddler of any gender. Keep in mind the preferences as described in the brief.

    ENTRY DETAILS: This challenge is a collaboration between me and my 11 year old Sims addict (I asked for some ideas on a bedroom and she took them all over then just got involved with the entire build!). We’ve fallen in love with the Costello family!
    We kept the exterior look and feel of the original cottage at the front of the house so that it wouldn’t be too much of a big change for the devastated family when coming home but fully modernized the interior into an open plan space to enjoy family life. Four beds, four baths and a laundry room with plenty of outdoor seating too.
    The build cost was higher until I started replacing with the new freebie build items but I think the Costellos will enjoy having some extra savings to spend on trips and holidays!

    ENTRY DETAILS: Even with their new house to fit their new family, the Costello family wanted to honor their late son / father. The sunflowers in the front yard were planted in honor of him, as sunflowers were his favorite flower. The living area is lined with floral arrangements thanks to the generosity and condolences of their friends, family, and community. In the upstairs hangout area, Chip's surfboards can be found, as surfing during vacations was a passion of his. The renovation team wanted to make the move a little less difficult on the kids by creating amazing bedrooms for them that they can use for years to come.

This would be a good room for an independent toddler to build the thinking skill. In my build, I have a closet built into the wall however I've removed the divider so that it could be uploaded to the gallery as one room. I usually don't put this much work into designing a single room, so this was a nice change of pace!

The home now has a basement for laundry and working out. The main floor has an open front room, a bedroom that was converted to an office, the pink half bath is still pink and the kitchen is a new addition. All the bedrooms are upstairs. There is a covered patio and pool and the rest of the back yard is without a doubt the playground of children.

    ENTRY DETAILS: The Costello vacantion home after the expansion. Everything the family needed and wanted was added, and hopefully they will love it!
    The old vacation cabin has been completely transformed and unrecognizable.
    It now has 5 bedrooms, and 4 full baths.
    A large living and dining area plus a very large kitchen with many counters.
    There are even counters on the porch in the backyard.
    The yard also has a pool, jacuzzi, sandpit and plenty of nice seats.
    The backyard doesn't get much sun during the day so i made sure they had a large balcony at the front of the home, with a lot of sun.
    Here they can go when they want more sun, and also do some gardening.
    Last, the basement, dedicaded to the kids, to play games, relax with friends, and have danceparties!

    ENTRY DETAILS: I have given the Costello's a large country farmhouse style home, with a wraparound deck. I have added onto the main floor and put a basement under the new addition, I specifically added the basement so that the family will have a place to go to be safe if another storm hits the area. I have also added a second floor where there are five bedrooms, so each grandchild can have their own room. I came in under budget when I was able to use the new free landscaping items (Yay!) So I would highly recommend to the Costello's to use the extra money to invest in a maid

    #BnS124 - Solving The Seniors Situation

    The deadline for this challenge is 7th August 2019

    You are walking in the park enjoying the crisp breeze on your face during your lunch hour. You notice some young children with a large collecting tin and a sign that reads, "Pleez donayt to r Grammies and Grampas." Bad spelling aside, you are intrigued and go over to ask the kids why they are collecting money for their grandparents.

    A freckle-faced little boy pipes up. "The floods got their houses. My grammy and grampy lost theirs. It floated away!"
    "My Nana's house got under water on the first floor. She can't bake us cookies anymore," adds a little girl with big green eyes. Tears run down her face.

    A young lady nearby comes over to comfort the little girl. "It is the whole street, really, that needs help," she explains as she hugs the girl. "With all the recent heavy rains, the river flooded. Most of the older homes were built close to the water, so they flooded or were washed away. The ones that flooded are full of dangerous black mold. The senior sims living there cannot afford to move or rebuild. I am in the process of setting up a website to accept donations for them, but the kids could not wait to get started!"

    You think things over for a few minutes. You had a really good year last year, and this year is doing even better so far. All things considered, you feel the urge to give back to the community- starting with these senior sims!

    "I think I know a way to help," you say brightly to the group. Turning to the young lady, you continue, "If you can gather names, number of occupants, and what they need in a home, I will see what I can do!"

    "You mean you will donate money to them individually?" the young woman asks, perplexed but pleased by your offer.

    You dig a card from your wallet and hand it to her. "Actually, I am an architect. I would be willing to donate my time, services, and some materials to rebuild these homes. Feel free to add my name to your list. Getting the press involved may be a good idea as well," you suggest. "I know many people around here have big hearts and would be willing to help!"

    The children cheer as the young lady thanks you sincerely. She promises to get the information to you as soon as possible.


    THE BRIEF

    Choose ONE of the three senior sims to build a house for, making to sure include all their needs/wants in the build.
    To prevent future flooding, the houses need to be built on stilts or foundations at least 8 steps high. No basements, please.
    Since the houses were near the river, try to have a water view (ocean or river ) or add a strip of water down one side of the property.
    The budget is $125,000. (Be sure to include the cost of the lot in this amount)

    The Senior Sims

    Mr. Bao Chang--needs one bedroom, a martial arts/exercise room, a bathroom with a shower, and a kitchen/family room combination. He prefers sunny and calming colors.
    Mrs. Aibreann Byrne--needs a bedroom, a large guest bedroom for grandkids to visit, a bathroom, and kitchen/family room combination with a space for baking cookies. She also loves plants and gardening.
    Mrs. Petunia Livingston--needs a bedroom, a large bathroom, and a kitchen/family room combination. She also needs a "creativity room" for her writing and painting.


    Room Challenge

    Create the kitchen/family room combination for ANY of the three senior sims listed.


    Sim Challenge
    Create the senior sim you chose to build for (or any of the three if you are not doing the build challenge). Show them enjoying their new home. Include their likes and skills where applicable. Also show pictures of their clothes.

He chose Brindleton Bay because it allows for a more relaxed lifestyle but still has excellent transit options to Del Sol Valley. Since Tail's End is near the docks it has live/work zoning. Two buildings are connected by a short skybridge. The smaller building is in use as his martial arts studio. The living quarters are private, his space to get away from it all!

    Mr Bao Chang is a Chinese actor and martial artist looking to start a quieter life. He's focusing on teaching and choreographing stunt scenes for the movies. This kitchen and family room is in the private, residence side of the property. Working with the Selvadoradan cabinets, the room uses peach, orange and yellow to promote a sunny mood. Contrasting bits of blue add a calming influence, mahogany wood tones bring masculinity.

    ENTRY DETAILS: (Be sure to tell us about your entry) Mrs Livingston Knows her house needs to be on stilts or high foundation but her legs just cant do stairs like they used to so as an added requirement the terrain had to be created so that there was minimal steps into her main door. Having lived for years on this family lot that has been handed down for years she was heartbroken when the old home had to be tore down due to all the mold from the flood. She did manage to save a couple of pieces that she could have placed in the new home. Her great grandparents bed and the Photos that were carefully restored. Having a new creative space is so exciting for her despite all the sadness of losing her home.

    ENTRY DETAILS: So, build a home that’s proof against a future flood with a house raised well above ground level that’s suitable for a senior citizen to live out the rest of her life …… and do it with a limited budget and deliver on a short timescale - certainly was challenge!
    However after lots of research into the latest anti-flood building methods (and using many generous donations from local communities and our friends at Maxis Corp) we believe we’ve come up with the perfect solution for Mrs Byrne that meets all the criteria and then some.
    The base premise of this eco-friendly build is to help avoid flooding whenever we can; next we ensured the build would survive intact if the floods reoccur and then we packed in as many features as we could to help Mrs Byrne cope if/when the worst does happen. Finally, as the majority of time life continues without natural disasters, we worked on making this home a lovely and accessible place to live for many years to come.
    We’ve included some shots of the neighbourhood to give you an idea of the extent the damage the flood caused in the area (I was having fun exploring the new edit items so thought I may as well use them to help the backstory!)

Just as her furnishings are bright and colorful, so is Petunia's wardrobe. She has her own unique style, as an artist should, wanting to be stylish while dressing appropriately for her age.

Being a very creative lady, she wanted room for her "Creative Corner", where she could paint and write. And she wanted a big bathroom with space for a large jetted tub where she could soak. The house was built into a hill with tall strong stone foundations so she would be safe if another flood happened. And she wasn't disappointed - she absolutely loves her new house!

    #BnS125 - A Chalet Getaway

    The deadline for this challenge is 21st August 2019

    It is a chilly, rainy morning when Karl graciously shows in your next clients, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Weston Vanderclump III. They are a middle-aged couple with plenty of character. Mr. Vanderclump looks dark and gruff, almost mafia-like in a pin-stripe suit; his wife looks bored and snooty. You try not to smile too widely as you greet them. After everyone is seated, you ask what kind of house the couple is looking for.

    "We would like a fairly large vacation home," Mr. Vanderclump begins. "Chantal wants to get away for a little while."

    "So, are you looking for a beach house?" you ask Mrs. Vanderclump.

    She shakes her head slightly and looks down her nose at you. "Too common," she says in a voice so high it hurts your ear drums. You try to hide your surprise as she continues. "I am dreaming of a ski chalet in the mountains. I just love the snow! I grew up in the Alps, and that is where I want my retreat to be built. I want it to be spacious and inviting, with three bedrooms and two and a half baths. A large entertainment area is a must, since the kids may come up with friends from time to time. Hmmm...a loft to look at the views would be great, and a balcony or two would be nice. Space to house the snow mobiles and ski gear. Oh, that can be part of the garage." She looks at her husband as if she has just lost a puppy, and you turn a slight laugh into a cough.

    "You may need to eat," he says gently, "a place to clean clothes, and a servant's quarters."

    "True," she agrees, pouting a bit. "I want the outside to look like a traditional ski chalet on the outside, but the inside should be comfortable yet elegant. As in don't spare the expense." She looks down at her purse, then back at her husband. "A hot tub on a big party deck outside would be great as well. Just make it all look as ritzy as possible!"

    You look up from taking notes. "And the budget?" You look at Mr. Vanderclump expectantly, but he looks away.

    Mrs. Vanderclump speaks up again. "I am paying for the chalet with money I earned from doing voice work. I am a celebrity, you know! Anyway, I have $350,800 to use. Any money you can save I will put to new ski clothes, but the chalet is more important. How soon can you get it completed?"

    "It will take two weeks to complete," you tell her.

    "Marvelous! Thanks you very much and enjoy your trip!" Mrs. Vanderclump squeaks at you.

    As the couple depart, you mentally rummage in your closet for suitable clothes to take with you to the Alps!

    ENTRY DETAILS: 3 Story Mountain Chalet with a Lookout. 4 Car Garage (Plenty of room for snowmobiles. Also on the ground floor there is a swimming pool, Arts and Crafts room, a Gym, a Library, a Game room, a Disco/Dancing room, at the front, with large glass windows and doors leading to the 1sr floor Patio/Deck. There is also a 'fake' Hot tub on the Lower deck, as I don't have that game pack.
    Moving to the 2nd Floor you will find the 2 large Mast Suites, each with 2large walk ins, a Master Bath and dressing room. There are also 2 smaller bedrooms, for an extra Guest and the Butler. Outside of the Butler's Quarters, is also the Laundry. Filling out the rest of the 2nd Floor is a large Gallery for the resident Sims to hang their most impressive art and entry to the 2nd Level Deck. The center of the floor is dominated by a quad-sided firelace, with seating on all 4 sides.
    The Third Floor is all about food and drink, with a large Kitchen, build extra large for future proofing, if the owner decides to sell the lot for commercial use, as a B&B, Hotel or Lodge. The Dining Table seats 12+ guests. Along side the immediate dining are is a small pub, for refreshments. A Grand Piano is also situated in the dining area, for your guests to enjoy some relaxing music, whilst dining or lounging in one of either the larger lounging area, or one of the smaller, tucked away lounge areas. There are also 2 half baths on this level.
    Topping off the structure, at roof level, there is a small Lookout room, with a fabulous view of the valley below.
    NOTE: I hope all is situated. I made the mistake of not simply boring through and finishing everything in one go, and then I removed my mods folder, so that I could build and upload some simpler items and when I put it back, some things had changed and the price keeps fluxuating seemingly randomly. So, I uploaded the build before I could get too stressed about it. I still don't understand why it is not showing in the Gallery.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Nestled in the foothills of the mountains in Granite Falls National Park, this is a four-storey secluded vacation home that will be the perfect retreat for Chantal and Charles Vanderclump. Filled with lots of art housed in gallery halls, there is masses of space for both formal and informal entertaining, a sauna, indoor-outdoor pool, party deck with hot tubs, a viewing loft and much more. There is a master suite, two guest rooms and small apartment for the live in help. Oh and there is a total of 8 balconies if you count the entrance, plus the deck, so views at every turn!
    I wanted to try a large scale build which I haven’t done much of and had real fun with the exterior (roofs are tricky!!), but boy did it take some decorating! As I only got back from hols on Saturday so was short on time I once again enlisted the help of my 11 year old sims addict who decorated all bedrooms and the small apartment.

    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: https://imgur.com/a/ZaI625Z (O apologize for the mess it is in, but I don't have the strength to mess with again.)
    ENTRY DETAILS: I created the entire Vanderclump family. This includes Chantal, the rich voice actor, who is a Mansion Baron with business savvy, materialistic, a snob, and very self-assured and her husband Charles, who is fabulously wealthy with business savvy, a kleptomaniac ambitious, and neat and is rumored to be the head of a "family" of business associates (wink, wink). Hazel Rayann Sullivan is the family's long time housekeeper, and Mr. Vanderclump's bit of fluff, as he likes to call her. The two have a twelve year old daughter together named Brianna Charly Sullivan. Hazel is a master chef with essence of flavor, cheerful, neat, and jealous of Mr. Vanderclump's time away from her. Their daughter is erratic and an artistic prodigy. The married couple have two children: Bradford Dean Vanderclump and Roxy Marilyn Vanderclump. Brad is a chief of Mischief and dastardly, a snob, a kleptomaniac, and paranoid! He married an exotic young lady named Mai Lulee Chou Vanderclump, and she is a party animal and gregarious, hot headed, a dance machine, and a total slob. Basically , she was the gold digger who won him over with her good looks and fun ways. The couple has a toddler son that Mai Lulee does not want or care for. The baby's name is Rafe X Chou Vanderclump, and he is very fussy and demands his own way. Roxy, on the other hand, may just be the only sensible member of the family. She is an archaeology scholar and quick learner who is a bit of a goofball, a geek, and rather outgoing. She is still living at home since she is just out of college, but that may change soon! With this family, the drama never ends! From Mai Lulee's inappropriate attire to her bad mothering "skills," and the family trait of "borrowing," normal is just out of the question. On top of that, Charles is fairly open with his relationship with Hazel, at least in front of his wife Chantal. Somehow the older children and Brianna have no idea they are siblings. Brad and Mai Lulee often express their "love" out in the open, to the chagrin of everyone. Download the family and see just how messy their world really is!!

    #BnS126 -The Collection

    The deadline for this challenge is 4th September 2019

    “Alexander Benedict? Where have I heard that name before?” You wonder aloud, setting aside your coffee.

    “He’s a renowned explorer and collector. He has a knack for making rare discoveries and solving some of history’s mysteries along the way,” Karl reminds you.

    “Oh, that’s right.” You’re anticipating the man’s arrival now, trying to imagine what he could possibly want. You don’t have long to wait, as Alex Benedict arrives minutes later.

    He gives you a charming smile. “I’m running out of room for all my collections and I’m tired of people trying to break into my house to have a look,” he begins, getting right to the point as soon as introductions are exchanged.

    ‘I understand. How can we help?”You sense this will be more than a simple addition to an existing home and are excited by the prospect.

    Alex leans forward in his chair. “I recently inherited a plot of land which would be perfect for a small museum. I’ve heard many good things about you, in particular from Mayor Rose Curtis and the Newcrest Town Council, so I’m confident you’ll be able to meet my needs.”

    “It will be a pleasure working with you,” you reply. “What did you have in mind?”

    “I’ve always had an interest in history, including architecture, so nothing too modern on the outside. It must have a food court.”

    “We can certainly do that. What about budget?”

    “I recently sold off a few specimens. Will $200,000 be enough?”

    “It should be. We’re used to challenges around here.”

    “Great I’m off to track a missing ship, but I should be back in two weeks.”

    “Your museum will be ready by then. Good luck.”

    “Thanks.” With a hearty handshake, Alex takes his leave.


    THE BRIEF


    Budget - $200,000 (be sure to include the cost of the lot in this amount)

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    The Benedict Museum houses Alexander Benedict’s 15 full collections and his 7 partially completed ones. It has five separate Galleries, a mini food court, gift shop and gardens. This museum isn’t only about the collections though – Mr Benedict is such a famous and intrepid explorer that he’s an attraction in his own right, so throughout the museum there are photographs of Alex on his adventures around the world. (Thought I’d put my photography practice to good use!)
    Most of the smaller museums in the towns around my area of northern England are housed in beautiful Grade II listed Victorian buildings and many have lovely gardens attached, so my architecture choice was an easy one. Despite the traditional exteriors these museums do a great job of making the Galleries modern & interesting, so I tried to do that too. My home town museum has an fairly dire aquarium/vivarium in the basement which I think has been the same since around 1940 and, despite how awful it was, I used to love it when I was small and then my kids spent hours (and hours and painful hours) in there too….so that got included too - although mine is much cleaner and prettier
    My biggest learning curve in this challenge came from using coloured lighting for the first time to create atmosphere in the different galleries - and then playing around for hours to get the exhibits to show clearly in the screenshots for the slide show without killing the lighting effect I'd got in game. It's amazing how much difference which light you can use makes. I think I'm having as much fun with learning to take half decent screenshots as am with the actual building! Another great challenge, thank you
    In case it doesn’t translate continents well…. a Grade 2 listed building is defined as a UK building or structure that is "of special interest, warranting every effort to preserve it". A listed building may not be demolished, extended, or altered without special permission from the local planning authority.

    #BnS127 - The Smell of Tea and Nutbread

    The deadline for this challenge is 18th September 2019

    The smell of roses permeates the entire office as you bask in the sunlight from the window behind your desk. Mentally you are constructing a small apartment building for your latest client. Karl's voice comes through on the intercom, spoiling the quiet of the moment. "Your 4:30 is here."

    You hit the button on the intercom. "Send them in."

    Your office door opens, and Karl ushers in a young, dark-haired couple. After you greet them and everyone is seated, the man speaks with a deep voice. "I am Jerome Washington, and this is my wife, Shirley. We appreciate you seeing us on short notice like this. We inherited a small piece of land in the middle of the city and a small amount of money a few months ago. We were thinking it was a strange place to put a house, and we were thinking of what we could do there when I lost my job at the factory with all those layoffs last week. The money we got is not going to last long."

    Shirley takes up the story. "Then my cousin Lashay suggested we try selling my baked goods, like nut breads and cookies, since they are always hits at family gatherings. After a little thought, we decided that selling my baking with our favorite tea blends would be really cool. So we want to build a tea shop on the land."

    "Awesome! That sounds like a great idea! We don't have a tea shop in town yet," you say encouragingly.

    "But now, our little plot of land needs to do double duty. Our apartment building is being demolished soon, so now we need a new home, too," Mr. Washington explains.

    "We have a two year old," Mrs. Washington adds. "And just yesterday we found out we are having twins in about six months. Would it be possible to do a building with the tea shop on the bottom and a house on top, like they used to do it in the old days?"

    "We can certainly do that," you agree. "Living above a storefront is coming back into fashion, especially among the younger generation."

    "The shop is easy," Mr. Washington continues. "A back area with baking and tea brewing equipment. The customer section needs a counter and display area, about five small tables that seat 2 to 4 people each, and public restrooms. The home part needs to have a set of stairs into the back of the shop and another one on the outside of the building, for personal visitors. We need a minimum of three bedrooms , two and a half baths, and a large family space."

    Mrs. Washington adds, "Since we will soon have three little ones, I need a big kitchen so I can do the baking upstairs, too, while I watch the kids. The budget is only $85,000" though, she says with a worried tone.

    You take a deep breath, knowing you've done more on less money in the past. "Okay. I know you need a place to live very soon, so how does two weeks sound?" you offer.

    The young couple smile at each other and say in unison, "Done!"


    THE BRIEF

    Due 18th September
    Budget is $85,000 (since lot was inherited you DO NOT need to include lot cost this time)
    30x40 or smaller lot
    Parking for at least 3 cars and landscaping
    The build should include:
    Tea Shop: restrooms, 5 tables that seat 2 to 4 each, counter space with a cash register, a display area, large baking area in the back with stairs to the living area above, and an outside staircase to the living area.
    Living Area: a minimum of three bedrooms and 2.5 baths, a large family space, and a baking kitchen for testing new recipes as well as cooking for the family

    Room Challenge

    Create the kid's bathroom. Your budget is $10,000.

    Sims Challenge

    Create the Washington family and show them in the shop and in their home. Be sure to include likes, skills, and clothing choices for each sim in your media slideshow. Family must include Jerome, Shirley, and their 2-year-old child. You can either include infant twins or Shirley as an expectant mother.

    'Tea For 2 & Two for Me' is a silly play on the song, as there are 2 tops for seating and the couple is expecting Twins.
    This was my second build for this entry. Tough build, for the budget, but a great challenge. I ended up building a modern style building but tried to keep some of the same elements of the building materials used in the neighborhood. The 1st floor is the Tea Shop with Tea based items for sale, as well as Baker's Display's for the tasty Treats the wife will be making. I also included a Gift Shop type of Area with Hand Crafted Cards, Clay Pottery Tea items, as well as Loose 'Leaf' Tea Bins and bagged selections. There is also a Kitchen with Tea Brewing Machines and counter space for making Baked good, as well as the Appliances to be able to do so and a clean up station, for all of those dirty dishes.
    The 2nd and 3rd floor are the Living Loft with the 2nd floor having entry from the Store and also from the side, exterior stairs from the back side of the building. The 2nd floor houses the Kitchen and dining areas, as well as the Children's Rooms and the Half Bath. The 3rd Floor holds the Family Room, Master bed and Bath, a small Office and a spare room to be be used as the couple see's fit.

    It's the first build ever trying to stay within a budget, and it's soooo hard! So sorry for the lack of deco then.
    It's a two floor modern building that tries to incorporate the surrounding nature.
    The ground floor is where the tea house / coffee shop is located. You can find a standard table, or curl up on one of our sofa tables and read a book and enjoy your tea, while smelling the latest batch of freshly backed cupcakes, coming from the baking area.
    On sunny days (not many in Brindleton Bay), you can enjoy the pond view or warm yourself by the bonfire at the outside terrace.
    Top floor is the main (and private) living area. 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 service toilet, a kitchen and a living room, topped by a wonderfull glass sky light.

    ENTRY DETAILS: What a fortuitous turn of events for Jerome and Shirley Washington to end up with a small piece of land in Newcrest. As you're probably aware, Newcrest has been going through a bit of a renaissance lately...some call it gentrification...but we're not here to quibble. The point is, what was old is suddenly new again and with the renewed interest in the Bridgeview neighborhood especially, looks like its the perfect spot to start a small business. With Jerome's knowledge of tea and Shirley's baking skills, seemed only logical to open a tea room. Jerome and Shirley also found they had quite the attachment to the three-story apartment building that stood on their land and made the decision to to keep it intact and renovate to suit their own needs. And while they could have used a bit more room, with the family growing the way it is, they're a resourceful couple and they know they can make this work...$85,000 is a tight budget after all. Jerome and Shirley are way too frugal and cautious to go biting off more than they can chew. Let's all wish the Washington family the best of luck and a safe delivery of the twins, and then let's pick a date to all meet up for a spot of tea and nutbread one day soon.

    ENTRY DETAILS: They love food and family, so living above their tea shop is a dream come true. I wanted them to be a fun and happy young couple with the energy to start their business while raising a family. I realized after I finished working on them that Shirley kind of looks like the young, short haired Kelly Rowland in her Destiny's Child era. I'm here for it.
    Jerome - Super parent aspiration. Foodie, Outgoing, Family Oriented
    Shirley - Master Chef aspiration. Foodie, Cheerful, Creative
    Sandra - An independent toddler.
    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Sure, I'm not usually a CAS person.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Brew’n’Bake is a brand new Tea Shop on the edge of San Myshuno dockland. Built around the shell of an old derelict factory building, large scale renovation and a little extension work have taken place to create a trendy venue to shop and/or socialise on the ground floor and a three bedroom apartment above.
    This was another collaboration piece with my daughter, and had plenty of firsts - I’ve never built in San Myshuno before, never tried an industrial build and (as my mod file got turned off with the update) we thought we’d try a no CC build…….I really do miss the choice of items from my lovely CC but it was probably a good call as I struggled enough with the budget as it was! Yet another great challenge & learning curve, thank you
    (No cc also turned out to be an expensive rl choice, as bedroom decorating was apparently ‘impossible!’ without Toddler Stuff pack…..I’m such a soft touch haha, but it’s really great fun to share this with her so I don’t care!)

    ENTRY DETAILS: After inheriting a small piece of land in the middle of town, Mr. Washington has lost his job. To add insult to injury, the apartment complex the family lives in is set to be demolished, so they desperately need a new home fast. The couple has decided, based on family members' encouragement, that opening a bakery/tea shop would be the best way to go, with an apartment above to live in.
    The ground floor bakery and tea shop includes a large area for baking in the back and a large storefront with seating both inside and out. The employee area is enclosed by a fence. A small-ish backyard is devoted to toddler games and cozy conversation.
    Upstairs the family has a 3 bedroom/2.5 bath apartment home to enjoy.

    Shirley and Jerome just inherited a plot of land and wasn't sure what to do with it. With a love of home baking and wanting to spend more time with her children, Shirley suggested a tea house! This lovely little tea house has been thought out with the children in mind, with a large, 3 bedroom home above the tea shop. There's a massive kitchen for testing out those recipes and creating new ones, a large open plan family area including; sitting area, dining area and a work area, with a portable laptop for being able to work wherever the children are. There's 3 spacious bedrooms, with a large family bathroom and also, an en-suite for when the parents need some time for themselves! The tea room itself is a homey, comforting and welcoming area, offering bright cheerful pops of colour. The tea room has plenty of seating, inside and out, and is the only tea room in the city to welcome those furry friends! A display case has also been placed expertly at the window to showcase the fabulous home-baking available and to entice those customers in.

    ENTRY DETAILS: This bakery tea & coffee shop features a Realm Of Magic theme with a family home upstairs! Uses only two packs intentionally - ROM & Go To Work. Special features include two toddler or child rooms, two cook’s kitchens, a Cupcake Machine, a work area for creating teas, free coffee and fast internet, a small cook's greenhouse/porch, fireplace, working/interactive sandbox, a store play room for the tots and their friends while mom's baking & more!
    A note of explanation for a few of my build details:
    Spoiler
    Note: One of my bedrooms was originally a nursery with bassinets. Once my family's twin infants were born mom was forced to give birth in the hospital (I tried twice, this is how it works)... and the babies teleported to their other small home. (They must own property to own a retail store so my family has a 2nd home they technically live in.) The toddler and adults (unemployed) stay on this lot and run the bakery.
    So... The parents went to the other lot/home and aged the babies to toddlers so they could come to this lot (babies cannot be brought to the lot but as toddlers they can. So now I have the toddler twin boys in that room and converted the nursery into a toddler room since those who download the bakery from the gallery will not be able to use it as a nursery anyway since babies cannot be born here or brought here.
    That cut into my theme idea and some of the details, and since I was out of time to fight with it further I still only have one of the evil high chairs, I don't use them hardly anyway. Everyone is happier if the toddler 'grabs a plate' and goes to sit on one of the living room children's chairs that are there for them. Works very well.
    It features the ‘Homey’, ‘Chef's Kitchen’, and ‘Gnomes’ lot traits.

    ENTRY DETAILS: The trouble with this brief is that I know this house. There's dozens of home above/business below buildings near where I live and almost every single one is a renovation of a Victorian cottage. This is three storeys, but if you picture a long street lined with dozens of shorter versions of these you've just imagined three different Wellington suburbs on opposite sides of the cbd.
    So here we go - the Wellington Washington's. They've also built a Victorian style cottage (to fit in with the neighbours) and are settling in to compete with our over-priced coffeeshops. I built in two tea brewers to instead of an espresso bar, which I figured suited the tea shop concept more?
    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Always. Especially on exteriors and bathrooms. I feel like I struggle with those.
    CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS:
    First of all - the wooden floors! Are mine! I did those! I'm delighted tbh bc I love the Old Hickory floor that came with pets but I didn't love all the colours. And my recolours look kinda okay!
    But because of this, they're not up anywhere or anything. I just made them for me. They cost the same as the original Old Hickory floor, but they probably won't show up if you download the lot.
    Other credits:
    Wendy35Pearly for the Floral Fancy Carpet recolour
    Annachibi for the separated Mod Pod Bedframe
    Allisas for the Rustic Dream Toddler Bedframe
    PearlStitches for the Watercolour Bedding
    Budgie for the default plate replacements (not deliberately used, so much as I'm playing a History Challenge atm and totally forgot to remove them)
    The Plumbob Tea Society for ... basically everything else. I've done my best to keep a running list, but if I've forgotten anything it almost certainly came from either their cottage garden or teeny tots stuff packs.
    I know I've included: decorative mason jars; hanging baskets; hanging mugs; kindermade classics high chair; tea tin herbs; potted herbs; jug 'a lavender; mailbox; floral embroidery; framed marine prints; and teeny tot mattress.
    (Might need Move Objects on to place - there's one stubborn column that keeps arguing with a flowerpot just outside the upstairs entry).

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Shirley Washington: Her traits are family oriented, foodie and cheerful. Shirley sees the best in everyone, and is always in a good mood. Her love for baking comes from her grandmother who also was a baker. She doesn't only love baking though, she also enjoys cooking family dinners. She also loves eating the food she makes, which is why she is a total foodie. She loves her family, and can't wait to expand it. Her biggest dream (aspiration) is to have a big happy family! Since she is pregnant, the clothes she wears have to be comfy for her to even bother walking out the house, but she still loves looking feminine and polished.
    Jerome Washington: His traits are ambitious, creative and outgoing. Jerome went from one job to another, he has great ambitions which influences his decisions. He's a hard worker, and want to create a family business that can be his family's legacy. He constantly finds new solutions when something doesn't work, like his decision to open a café when he lost his job at the factory. He's also outgoing, and has no problem with talking to just about anyone. This will come in handy starting the family business. His life goal (aspiration) is to be a super parent, he loves his family and want to be the best possible father for his kids. Jerome doesn't really care what he wears, it's mostly Shirley buying his clothes, and he really appreciates that.
    Lilah Washington: Her trait is silly. She is still so little, but she loves having a laugh and making her parents laugh. She smiles a lot. Her favorite color is pink, and Shirley loves to dress her up in cute, girly clothes.

    DETAILS: This is my second attempt for this challenge. I originally started out doing a late medieval build in Windenburg, but that one just didn't have enough space for all the rooms we are supposed to include... So this modern build in San Mioshino (pretty sure I spelled that wrong) was my second attemped. I actually love how it turned ot, even if it was a bit difficult to fit all of the apartment in just one floor the same size as the cafe. I hope it is ok that I made an inside hallwaz for the apartment staircase - tried to put it on the outside of the build and regardless of where I put it it just looked somehow wrong.
    Note: I changed the stove in the kitchen (it is still blue in the pictures, instead of the white one I actually used)

    ENTRY DETAILS: The Mystical Tea Shop is a quaint early 20th century cottage style build with magical stream and garden. Built on Grimmer Brook Watch lot, the underground spring supplies the brook with crystal clear water. Surounded by breathtaking woodsy neighborhood of Grimmer Brook, Mystical Tea Shop fits perfectly and is an awesome place for locals to get together and socialize. I have splurged most of the budget on the building, landscaping and ground floor tea shop. I have provided the Washington family with all the essencial requirement in their home. The reason for this is, that as the Mystical Tea Shop thrives, they will be able to fill their home with more personalized furnishing and accessories.

    #BnS128 - Whimsyville

    The deadline for this challenge is 9th October 2019

    Who's up for a NEIGHBORHOOD CHALLENGE ?!? If you were part of BuildnShare before Sims 4, you might remember some of our previous neighborhood challenges like Gnomelandia, Summer of Love, Sanshi-Sumei, and Olde Fairy Tale Village. We are reviving the spirit of the neighborhood challenge with a new concept for Sims 4 - Whimsyville!

    Like the challenge name implies, we are looking for buildings a bit out of the ordinary - let’s get our creativity flowing! For example, a clock shop might be shaped like a clock or a bakery could be designed in the image of a layer cake. Or just feel free to incorporate humor, angles, curves, asymmetrical lines, etc. into a build. Use your imagination!! We want to create a city that screams fun.

    This is a neighborhood project, and we are starting with the community lots. Please read through the entire list of possible buildings before picking one to build. Then post which category/building you would like to build. First post gets the building - please look at the list of claimed buildings in the front page post AND the current posts in the thread requesting a build before posting a claim. Once the sign-up period has ended, and you have completed your build; you can always pick a second one to do and claim it. This first phase is just for community lots - there will be a second phase where we create families and residential homes for Whimsyville.

    Due to the community nature of this challenge, there will be no judging or podium awards given. We will, however, give Maxis Fave recommendations for the most creative entries.


    THE BRIEF


    We are going to use Newcrest for all of our community lots - specify which Newcrest lot you built on in your entry form
    Since every lot has very different needs, the budget is unlimited
    Each community lot needs some parking space and landscaping
    Use any size lot that makes sense for your build
    Feel free to propose your own community building type if one of the listed ones doesn’t strike your fancy
    9/18 - 9/24 = sign-ups/proposals
    9/25 - 10/9 = build phase

    ENTRY DETAILS:We all know the story. Hansel & Gretel killed the witch. But, what happened after? Well, they did what any resourceful young children would do, they cleaned up the cottage, hung some pretty curtain, hung some lanterns in the trees and opened a bakery! They even built a picnic area and playground in the back, for other lost children to hang out and play! This week's specials are Not-So-Lady Fingers, Gingerbread Hag Cookies and Raisin Sweet-Tooth Cookies! (the latter 2 being references in history, to the witch)
    The Bakery is decorated with 254,382,473 Chocolate Chip Cookies...well, maybe not that many, but it sure felt like it. I got halfway through before it dawned on me that within 24 hours, they all may be emitting green smoke. I got lucky. =) They don't, so I carried on. I did attempt some candy cane art for decor on the fence and gumdrops for the facia on the roof, but it looked silly, so I went with the red dog treats on the facia and alternating Fudge and Lemon Bars for window awnings, and pretty colored candy-like lights all around the fence, building and interior, with Candy Cane inspired sidewalks fencing and wall coverings.....and 254,382,473 cookies on the roof......so many cookies.......
    There is also a fenced in area, in the back of the cottage, that can be used for gardening, of course, overseen by Patchy, who, if you're good to, will be even more entertainment and enjoyment, for the children and those young at heart.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Originally, this build was inspired by the giant toybox prop from Get Famous. When I couldn't find a way to get the roof (lid) to look right, I switched to the closed lid version. Though the gallery shows it has 2 levels, it actually only has one, the upper level existing to give the illusion of a deep toybox with handles on the sides. The toys available are varied, though in most cases only one version of each is actually offered. I imagine merchandise would be swapped out as items are sold.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    I think I might have driven straight through Whimsyville and on to Absurdia with this but it’s been such good fun!! So many items that’s I’ve never found a use for before (who knew that Flower Power lights spin around??!) and probably never will again haha, and lots of playing with resize and moveobjects.
    So welcome to the whimsical world of Another Sim's Treasure, an eclectic thrift store collective where there's a preloved bargain for everysim...... made up of four different stores that each sell different kinds of items, with a small bedsit apartment above for when the owner needs a well deserved break. Like any proper treasure trove, sometimes sims will have to wait until one item has been moved/sold before they can get to the one they’ve spied. Sadly I couldn’t make the photos show the spinning flowers or the bubbles coming out of the water but it’s a fun store to play in game

It remains small and intimate to give the impression that getting in is special. Families come to treat their kids to amovie and get them out of the house in the summer. Teens like to hang out here with thier dates, though many are more interested in making out than actually watching the movies.

    ENTRY DETAILS: My entry for the #BnS128 challenge. We had to choose a lot to build in the whimsical Community. This is my #Church. With a slight #whimsical feel but a lot of #tradition as well to the church style... I made the lot a park so its easier to visit in the community. This is a small community church traditional stone exterior with lots of stained glass #organ and baptismal font #wedding arch and choir seating area. and an alter for that pastoral message for every Sunday. Oh and a cemetery to visit lost loved ones. I love doing churches as it reflects my inner soul.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    After having fun with my Thrift Store silliness I deliberately went a completely different route with this build. I wanted to build a grand community theatre that fit with whimsy and I think I managed that with the building, although I have to admit a whimsical interior totally defeated me so I just had fun trying to make a great venue for my Sims. I was aiming for Owl (eyes, ear tufts and beak) but maybe not too successfully as my assistant designer sees Mouse (she got paws and whiskers somehow) - maybe if you squint and turn your head you can find a different creature in there.....I’ll take anything as a success haha.
    I’ve been playing with my new graphics software to create the floorplans and I’ve spent a couple of days playing with getting sims into my slideshow…..more learning curves for me from this great challenge so thank you again
    So, welcome to the Owliseum Theatre - a brand new centre for the performing arts. As well as the main Owliseum Auditorium you can be entertained in the Owlet Bar, the VIP Lounge, the Little Owl's Theatre or head up to the Roof Top Bar & Terrace before enjoying a show in the Open Air Theatre.

    #BnS129 - Solving the Seniors Situation Part II

    The deadline for this challenge is 27th October 2019

    Everyone has gone home for the evening, and you are about to close up when two people rush up to the door and knock. You recognize the young woman who you talked to in the park, but the man you cannot place. You open the door wide, saying, “You just caught me! Come in, please”
    “We won’t take up much of your time then, “ says the lady as they sqeeze in. “My name is Avery Schwing, and I teach the children who were collecting for the senior sims. This is the journalist who agreed to help our cause, Mack Riccardi. He did a segment on our cause last night on the local news, and we have had an overwhelming response! People are even calling from other areas and donating!”
    “I sent the story to a few friends in other cities and countries,” Mack says modestly. “It seems to have gone viral.” He smiles.
    “We came to hand over the first check for materials and labor,” Miss Schwing explains, handing you a very generous check. “I expect we will have even more in a few days.”
    “Wow!” you exclaim at the size of the check. “This is far more than I even thought possible!”
    “The news station is also getting calls of people wanting to help with the building, including skilled laborers offering plumbing, electrical, and heating and cooling installations,” Mack adds. “What should I tell them?”
    “Send them out to the construction sites, and we will find work for everyone,” you assure them, feeling the tears coming into your eyes. “We have many more houses to build!”


    THE BRIEF

    *choose ONE of the three senior sims couples to build a house for, making to sure include all their needs/wants in the build.
    *to prevent future flooding, the houses need to be built on stilts or foundations at least 8 steps high. No basements, please.
    *since the houses were near the river, try to have a water view (ocean or river ) or add a strip of water down one side of the property.
    *The budget is $125,000

    *Gunter and Norberaht Ausman—they need a master bedroom and ensuite, a guest bedroom, a guest bathroom, a study, a large kitchen, and a separate living space. They like to chart the stars at night. They prefer modern styles.
    *Candy Noren and Sofia Banks—they need two master bedrooms with ensuites, a half bath, a small library, and a kitchen/living room combination. They both like to garden. Candy prefers classical design while Sofia hates any shade of brown.
    *Mikael and Birgitta Olsson—they need a master bedroom with ensuite, a separate bathroom for guests, a craft room, a man cave, and a combination kitchen/living room. Mikael likes fishing and sports while Birgitta loves floral designs.


    Room Challenge

    *create a master bedroom room combination for ANY of the three senior sims couples listed.


    Sims Challenge

    *create the senior sims couple you chose to build for (or any of the three if you are not doing the build challenge). Show them enjoying their new home. Include their likes and skills where applicable. Also show pictures of their clothes.

He has stocked the backyard pond with some rare fish he's caught out and about.

In addition, the house has a lovely small greenhouse attached to the house for Birgitta to enjoy her personal time doing the floral designs and Mikael’s man cave on the ground floor has everything that he enjoys to keep him busy when he is not going out fishing either for a deep water fishing or just a simple casting near the beach. It has an open kitchen, dining and living area where they could easily entertain their guests while cooking and eating. At the backyard deck, the couple could enjoy the beautiful sunset overlooking Cavalier Cove and the ocean. The interior suits the taste of both couples and the landscaping has been kept minimal since it’s often that the area have high tide. There was also a small storage area in their backyard.

Either way, ghosts in the machine and all, after moving it to different lots and seeing how it went, I finally got it to settle down. I hope.
    Classical styled Home: 4 Bed/3.5Bath Front Covered Porch with an offset Gazebo built in and a Rear Deck. There is a Master Suite on the 1st floor and one on the Second Floor. The Fist floor also contains a Living Room, Formal Dining, Library, Storage Room, Laundry, Half Bath and an Open Family Room/Breakfast Nook and Kitchen.
    On the second Floor, along with the 2nd Master Suite, are 2 extra bedrooms and a full Bath.
    Flower Gardens in the front and rear.
    I forgot to add the #BnS129 tag to my entry and did not think of it until it already had a bunch of downloads. I'm sure the migrane didn't help in that. I hope you can still find it, with the links and info provided.

    This one is built for a multi-generational family. The matriarch is a diva-tasctic grandma. Her adult son, who lost his wife a few years ago is subdued. His daughter and her adopted sister are growing from childhood to their teen years. Finally, a toddler son is a little confused by everything. Come and enjoy a groovy episode with outrageous conflict but always ending in hugs by the end of the story.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Coop 'N Run: What I was looking to do was to create a home for the family of Chicken Little. (They will be uploaded as 'The Clucks' ) I created the 'Coop', which is Barn Styled, closed, personal dwelling area, of the Bedrooms, Baths and upstairs, the Theater. The rest of the home, with all of the glass, is the 'Run', containing communal areas, such as the Entertaining/Sitting Room, Kitchen, Dining and the Gym, Game Room and Den below, creating a Coop and Run. Hence the name.
    There is a front patio for entertaining or lounging, as well, with a Grill and plenty of seating, and along the side of the home, more seating with a fire pit.
    The home takes up the entire parcel, so there isn't any real landscaping to be done, and even if there was, they're chickens, and they have scratched it all up by now anyway.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I wanted to keep the floral connotations of "Rindle Rose" so I knew going in that I wanted a huge conservatory, and lots of soft pastels. I kinda got the base layout mostly done, and started thinking that a) there was just a little bit more space I could squeeze out of my shell and b) one little old lady wasn't really a 'family' as such. Thus, the teenaged relative come to visit on an "indefinite basis" as in so many novels I read growing up. Her room is a bit pokey because it used to be a sewing room, or a teeny guest bed, or something.
    I'm not 100% sure I nailed the whimsy, but I tried to catch that sense of charm and freedom you associate with certain types of old women - that idealised grandmother type who keeps certain things old fashioned because she's just grown to like them that way, but will also sneak into the annual flower show and steal cuttings off all the hydrangeas because it's absolutely shameful what the garden centre charges for something that should be growing free.
    Hoping I nailed that at least.

    ENTRY DETAILS: When his wife told him she'd dreamed of living in the treetops since she was a little girl, John asked her to sketch up a design for how her dream home would look. She scribbled out some sketches- lovingly depicting the arch of the windows, the lattices of the windowpanes, a turret on the roof. John then put his wood-working skills to work and turned his wife's dreams into a reality. The result was a whimsical treehouse, nestled in the forest, perched high in a gnarled oak, overlooking a vast expanse of ocean. With its mismatched w
    indows, pretty flowerbeds, and mid-nowhere location, this became the perfect little home in which to live out their very own happily-ever-after.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    The build was inspired by a piece of work from Italian illustrator and architect Fredrico Babina's ARCHITALE series, “a tribute to the fairytale universe where the architectures are reinvented to accommodate the protagonists of the story.” See this link for more info. I did try to do a similar modern version but it was soundly dismissed by Assistant Designer (and she was right, my modern building skills are dire :D). So we've done a whimsical twist on a traditional tale....
    After Snow White got married & moved out and their story got made into a blockbuster movie, the seven dwarves gave up mining and decided they needed a bit of distance from one another.....but not too much! So they relocated their old house upwards and each of them built a tiny home around it. Now they can have their own space but still be close to their brothers

    ENTRY DETAILS: Some early founding member of the Von-Windenburg family apparently took the phrase "a man's home is his castle" a little too literally. The residence is literally a castle from the outside, though it lacks an actual portcullis and has no moat. The inside is modern and updated, featuring plenty of art and old family heirlooms along with the shiny and new. Each bedroom is decorated according to the owner's tastes.

    ENTRY DETAILS: The Three Little Pigs
    As are their homes, The Three Little Pigs are very different, from each other. I took liberty with the story, in it's original form (outside of the names, as they were blocked by the filter)
    Brownie Pig is a lazy slob. His Aspiration is Chief of Mischief with Traits being Childish, Lazy and Slob. He lives in the house built of straw, being the path of least resistence for building, for the least weight and fastest and easiest to build.
    Pinky Pig (origionally plum) is neat, but he is a very materialistic and greedy pig. For his Aspiration, I chose Rennaisance Sim, because he also wants to, or at least thinks, he knows everything. His Traits are Glutton (or Covet), Materialistic and Jealous (of things that others have). Being a middling sort of pig, he built his house of sticks.
    Blocky Pig (origionally plum) seems to be the smartest (despite what Pinky thinks) and the most stable of the Three Pigs. His Aspiration is Friend of the World, because being neither lazy or slovenly, nor jealous and Covetous, he keeps himself and his home neat and gosh darn it, people like him. (see what I did there?) His TRaits are Cheerful, Outgoing and Neat.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I've only ever done one sim entry and that was because I'd taken a load of photos for my Benedict Museum build, so this is well out of my comfort zone and probably shows! I'd have liked to have taken more 'action' shots but I'm out of time; I have managed to get one of every dwarf in his own cottage but in retrospect I should have made them sooner and then used them when I did my play testing......always learning haha.

    HOUSEHOLD: Got them replaced without the two custom buffs that were showing up before. Von-Windenburg https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/D4DBD816071011EA82ADBA891CD6F027
    LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: https://imgur.com/a/JT8Qmnp (Still working on it, sorry.)
    ENTRY DETAILS: Friedrich Von-Windenburg is the family's patriarch and a widower, though being a romantic, he still has an active social life now that he is done grieving. He's also a snob and likes to look good except when he's relaxing at home with his family, then his clothes tend toward casual comfort. He still has some old-fashioned views about what's fashionable, and interestingly enough prefers the color green to red.
    Heinrich looks quite a bit like his father and likes to be in charge, which probably serves him well in his business career. He and his wife Adalheid are still verty much in love and he loves spending time with his children when he can, though his father belives that's the nanny's job. He doesn't understand how his heir, Richard, could have turned out to be lazy and irresponsible.
    Adalheid wasn't born into money, but she enjoys all the benefits it provides - namely the ability to throw lavish parties on a whim and donate to all her favoirte charities. She likes to wear nice clothes and enjoys an excuse to dress up.
    Richard is going through a bit of a goth phase, preferring to wear mostly black. He loves nothing more than to spend the day listening to or playing music, preferrably somethinng of his own creation.
    Sara is, as her name implies, a little princess, a girly girl who loves pink and would rather draw or tell stories about her dolls than play sports or roll around int he dirt. This doesn't mean she's queamish though, she can't afford to be with an older brother who loves to tease her.
    Stefan is the spoiled baby of the family who is always into everything in his quest to learn all he can about the world around him. His favorite toys are dinosaurs and trains. He deosn't really have a preference in clothes yet, happily wearing whatever cute outfit his parents choose for him.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I built a new tree house for Peter Pan and the lost boys of Neverland. You can find it by the Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. It comes complete with Captain Hook's flying ship. This tree house It has many different huts, all at different levels, and with many pathways attached to each. The perfect tree house for a good game of tag! There are so many things to discover, and many ways to get there around this tree house. There is even a possibility that the waters are mermaid infested. The perfect home for someone who never wants to grow up!
    This build challenged me with all the different levels, connecting the stairs, making the roofs work, not having branches in random places, and making sure it was all usable... but it was soo much fun to build!!

I tried to keep the look and feel of the house as close to the original as possible within the restrictions of Sims 4 building and gameplay. The lot is bright, colorful, cheery, cluttered and ideal for a fun, creative and eccentric Sim family.

    #BnS131 - Fostering the Future

    The deadline for this challenge is 27th November 2019

    Munching on brownies the "Box" family gave you as a thank you, you think back on the last few hectic months of building. You actually have a few hours of quiet today. Not that you aren't keeping busy, as you have just rearranged the furniture in your office so that more natural light hits your desk. You swallow the last bite of brownie just as Karl knocks on the door. Feeling a bit like the cat that swallowed the canary, you open the office door yourself. Karl steps in and closes the door behind him.

    "Uhm...," Karl whispers, looking shaken. "I think there is a cult in the lobby wanting to see you."

    You laugh out loud. "Well, it would be something different!" You motion for him to show them in.

    Karl ushers in four people in unusual clothing. The two men are wearing plain, homespun overalls. The two women are wearing long, plain dresses. Somehow the outfits remind you of the Amish and Mennonite cultures, but you can see why Karl thought they were part of a cult.
    "Welcome! Won't you please have a seat," you greet the foursome with a smile.

    They sit down, and one of them introduces the group. "Thank you. This is Rayne Collins," the man says, pointing to a raven-haired, younger woman. "Mr. and Mrs. Ankit Patel. And I am Anders Hans. We are all foster parents, and Mrs. Patel and I are also social workers. We have been lucky enough to get the go-ahead for a new youth camp. We would love for you to design it for us."

    "I would be delighted to design it," you say without hesitation, immediately starting to take notes. "How many children will be involved? And is it a day camp or an overnight camp?"

    "We are hoping to have up to 30 youths a day, with about 15 to 20 of them staying at night," Mrs. Patel tells you in a brisk manner. "The camp is really going to be a working farm that will help the teens connect with the earth and plants and learn some real life skills."

    "But..." Mr. Patel hesitates. "well, some of the teens will be troubled youths from the detention system. And some of the foster kids will be known run-aways as well. Unfortunately, we will need high fences around the farm. If you can camouflage the fences in any way, we would be grateful. It would be awful for the kids to be discouraged by the fences as soon as they saw the place. But it is a necessary precaution."

    You nod at him. "I understand. So, concealed fences, large garden plot... Will there be animals?"

    "Heavens, no!" exclaims Miss Collins. "Keeping up with the teens will be bad enough!" She laughs easily. "We will need two different houses or wings for sleeping and bathing, each with enough room for 10 boys or girls. Two beds maximum per room, to keep conflicts down and give some privacy to the kids. Each wing or house also needs a bedroom and en suite for an adult or adult couple. The main building will house a cafeteria and four classrooms."

    Mr. Hans adds, "Could you add a rec room as well? The kids will need a way to unwind. And tons of storage for games, sports equipment, etc." He pauses and thinks. "A small office. Oh, and a shed for the gardening tools. I think that is it..." He looks around expectantly, and the others nod.

    "Okay," you murmur, looking over your notes. "That is all do-able. I can get all that done in two week/four weeks. What is the budget?"

    "We have $150,000. Will that be enough?" Mr. Hans asks nervously.

    "I can make that work," you assure them, mentally noting to donate the cost of the lot.

    They all express their thanks on the way out. You immediately call Karl in to start looking for a suitably large lot for your new project.


    THE BRIEF


    The budget is $150,000. Do not include the cost of the lot in the budget this round.
    Use a 30x40 or larger lot.
    Must include a garden area and a shed.
    Either 2 wings of a large building OR 2 different buildings for the sleeping quarters, each with a master bedroom and en suite plus five other bedrooms with two beds each and either public bathrooms or enough bathrooms for the 10 kids per building
    The main building must include: a cafeteria, a small office, public restrooms, a rec room with lots of storage, and 4 classrooms.
    Enclose the lot in a tall fence. Camouflage the fence as best you can.


    Room Challenge

    Create the cafeteria with seating for at least 20 people. The budget is $25,000.


    Sims Challenge

    Create one or two of the adults and three of the teens for the farm, showing them working in the garden and enjoying the other parts of the farm. Include their likes, skills, and pictures of their clothing choices.


    Please use the whole of hashtag #BnS131 when you upload your creations. Any build, room or household without this hashtag will not be considered for Maxis Fave nomination.

    Architect's notes: This was built on a modular design, all student bedrooms are the same size. Student bathrooms alternate corners with faculty bedrooms, so the restroom should never be too far away. Restrooms are currently all gender. The layout is designed to encourage students to go out to the central courtyard, but they can also get to any point in the building and stay inside.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Wow this budget was tough! And so many rooms! Think I spent nearly as much time choosing which items I/they could do without as I did building haha (actual plants or leave them some weeding to do? Do they really need two stoves? Vending machines or not? And beautiful NoCC artwork very quickly got swapped out for beautiful NoCC photographs ). I visited this kind of residential centre with school and church many times as a child/teen and they were always kind of bare and basic, now I know why…… I started out by trying to get that same austere but fun feeling those childhood residentials had anyway, and the tight budgeting just made it that much easier!
    So welcome to Oakenstead Residential Farm, a youth camp where troubled teens can experience living a simple life, connecting with the earth and plants while learning some real life skills. Oakenstead Farm has it's own wind turbine to generate power for it's three separate buildings - the main Farmhouse plus two Dorm houses for teens on a residential stay, Cedar House and Willow House – and can teach students gardening, flower arranging, carpentry, herbalism, bonsai pruning plus essential life skills such as debate and discussion. A kitchen, a dining room, a rec room, 4 classrooms, an office, an equipment store, 18 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms with a total of 10 toilets.......oh and a shed!!

    ENTRY DETAILS: I'm with the rest of you. This was fairly tough for the budget and size, although I did have an easier time than with past challenges. My biggest enemy is my use of custom art which doesn't always register in the build and makes the price change when you log back in. In fact, I logged onto the lot just now and when I left it, after making sure everything was balanced out, I was $15 under budget. When I came back, it was more than $4k over budget. So, out of frustration, I just started deleting some things, to get back below budget. I hate that and now I'm a little shorter on decor than I wanted to be.
    Anywho,...I did a single building on a single floor. The propert has a gate and fence on one side, naturally, and the ocean behind it. I wrapped the house and rear of the property in high fencing with razor wire and then covered it all in large bushes.
    The front of the house has a large porch and upon entering, there is a full legth hallway going to each side wing and the foyer, which contains the 'Office' and Check-In area with 2 classrooms on each side of the Foyer, with 5 desks for students and a teacher's desk. Behind that is the cafeteria, with seating for up to 36. On the left of the Cafeteria is a good sized kitchen and on the right, the rec room, which has items for entertainment, crafting and other skills.
    Each wing holds 5 double bedrooms for the students, with 2 communal bathrooms and a Master Suite for the adults, as well as a seating area in the 'lobby' of the Dorms, in each wing.
    Head out back and there is a large farm for the harvest of all kinds of different fruits and vegetables for use on the farm, as well as for selling locally, at the markets, to help supplement the income of the Camp.. There is a large Gardening Shed for storage of farming implements as well as a Basketball Court and fishing pond, for the use of the Students, for recreation. You'll also find a water tower in the back, for supplying the water needed to keep the farm running.
    I'm thrilled with the new Script that allows for respositioning and rotating items, to be able to place the Weeding tools in the the wheelbarrows and other spots, as well as standing the rakes and push brooms upright and lean them on the walls and other items.

    -> sorry about that, but it won't let me upload more than 30 pictures at a time.
    DETAILS: Overall I am quite happy with this build. I wish I could have spend more on the rec room, but I kinda ran out of money also really struggled with the grass / earth painting tool - think I painted the ground three times and every time I hit upload (to the gallery) all of it disappeared again... this build might be slightly cursed.

    #BnS132 - Triple The Joy

    The deadline for this challenge is 11th December 2019

    You’ve just finished a quick lunch at your desk when Karl announces your next clients.

    “Send them in, Karl,” you reply, quickly making sure there are no signs of your recent meal on your desk or your clothes.
    You can see at once that the woman is heavily pregnant as her husband assists her into a chair, his curly head bent solicitously to hers, brown and red locks blending together.

    “Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Angevin. How can I help you?” you ask once they are settled.

    “We’ve just moved from the city and bought a small house. But that was before we knew Holly was pregnant,” Pierce Angevin begins.

    “With triplets,” Holly adds, wrapping her arms around her belly.

    “We’re fine with the triplets sharing one large room while they’re small, but the current bedrooms are tiny,” Pierce continues.

    “My parents are moving in to help, so we thought we’d have the basement finished and turned into an apartment for them, with its own entrance,” Holly tells you.

    “So, larger bedrooms and an in-law suite? Anything else?” you ask, already thinking of ways to make it work.

    “An eat-in kitchen big enough for everyone. I love to cook,” PIerce says.

    “And a home office. I’m going to be working from home until the triplets go to school, so I’ll need a private space to work,” Holly says.
    “We’d also like space to entertain in the backyard if possible. No pool yet, though” says Pierce.

    “Oh! And at least one more bathroom!” Holly shifts, looking as if she needs one right now.

    “We should have everything ready in two weeks. What is your budget?” You try to finish quickly so Holly can get to the bathroom.

    “With Holly’s parents pitching in, we can afford $65,000,” Pierce answers after glancing at his wife and getting her nod.

    “Excellent,” you say, the ideas already starting to flow even as you are showing them out of the office.


    THE BRIEF


    Budget: $65,000
    Eat-in kitchen
    At least 3 baths and 3 bedrooms in total.
    In-law suite in the basement with its own entrance.
    A home office


    Room Challenge

    Create Holly’s office. Budget is 10,000


    Sim Challenge

    Create Holly and Pierce Angevin, and Holly’s parents and show them enjoying their new home. Holly can be shown pregnant, or the triplets can be included as toddlers if you prefer.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Another one with a challenging budget! I wanted to try something new so thought I’d try a hot/desert map as I’ve never done an Oasis Springs or Strangerville build before, and I been a little obsessed by the idea of a courtyard after being inspired by @wendyology’s last challenge build so wanted to fit one in somehow (thank you). This started out in Strangerville but I ran out of budget so got moved to a cheaper lot in Oasis Springs…I didn’t have MOO on as I moved it which lead to a few hours messing around to look at what stays and what changes if people don’t use it. Found out interesting random things like the terrain paint shifts a little sometimes when placing in different worlds, although I couldn’t work out why!! Always learning, so thank you as always @buildnshare for another fun challenge
    On top of base game/holiday pack we only used Jungle Adventure, Strangerville and Toddler Stuff (which my Assistant Designer insists on or she won’t play with me haha. The grandparents apartment is totally all hers after she collapsed in fits of laughter at my attempt at a small living space
    So welcome to Casa Familiar Feliz. We’ve made sure that there are some great outdoor spaces for relaxing and entertaining, that Pierce has a family friendly kitchen to enjoy and that Holly can grab some quiet in her office – if/when triplet children allow any time!! The triplets shared bedroom has toddler beds already in place and welcome balloons waiting where each cot can go once the babies arrive. We’re sure the grandparents will love spending all of their time with the new arrivals but just in case they need a time out from hectic family life their small yet perfectly formed basement flat will let them escape for a while.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Oddly, one of the easier builds that I've experienced, with a budget. I stayed away from custom art, so there was no flip-flopping of and weird pricing issues going on. A very relaxing build, for me.
    The 1st floor holds an open floorplan layout of the Living Area, Kitchen and in-kitchen Seating/dining area, with a diner styled seating with a bar top area for the triplets. This level also has the Laundry a bathroom and a small Office. There is a nice front porch, as well as a rear porch and a grilling/entertaining pato with the entire lot planted with flowers and trees and a fence around three sides, to make the city living seem a little more secluded, private and away from it all.
    On the second floor there is a Nursery for the incoming triplets with a bathroom for them, as well as a Master bedroom and Bath for the parents.
    The In-Law Suite , located in the basement, has a small kitchen and dining area, that also has a Living space, a bathroom and a bedroom. There is a private entrance on the side of the home, as well as main house access that leads into the kitchen/dining area.

We have designed the house with a kind of new retro 70's vibe throughout. Because the lot was quite large, the family decided to sub-divide the lot in order to earn some extra funds to save for a pool for the kids to use when they are a bit older.

    ENTRY DETAILS: The Angevin family were overjoyed when they bought this little, green wooden home in Brindleton Bay. It has a beautiful big dogwoo tree in the yard and even has a basement! However they were even more overjoyed when they found out they were expecting triplets! The home was a little on the small side for that family expantion though. So there's been some space added to the small home, in brick. On one side a large space has been added to make 3 large bedrooms for the kids. On the first floor as to not make Holly's parents go up 2 floors to get to the babies! And on the other side some space has been added to make the kitchen and living space larger (Plus a little shed on the front of the house). On the 2nd floor the small rooms has been transformed into a large bedroom for the parents (with en-suite) and a large office for Holly. And last but not least, the basement has been transformed into an apartment for Holly's parents. They have their own kitchen and living/dining area. A nice bedroom and bathroom. They also have a private entrance to their little apartment and also a staircase going directly into the rest of the home. The backyard still has the big lovely tree, and some nice seating area's. Also a little veggie garden plus play corner for the kids when they get a little older!

    #BnS133 - Tears of a Clown

    The deadline for this challenge is 31 January 2020

    You do a double take as your next client waddles into your office. It is a clown, on the tall side, with a bright cheery face, a rainbow wig, and over-sized bright green shoes. His outfit is multi-colored with big pom-pom buttons down the front.

    "Hello! Love the costume!" you greet him with a hardy handshake.

    He beeps a horn and bows. "Thank you! My name is Ash Rutherford. Please excuse my costume. I have been cheering up the kids in the hospital today. I do it nearly every week." He sighs deeply as you both sit down. "But I am here to talk about a place for me to hang my rainbow wig. I am in the midst of a divorce, and my wife wants me out as soon as possible."

    "I am sorry to hear about the divorce, but I can definitely help you build a new home you will love!" you say encouragingly. You can tell he needs cheering up as much as the children in the hospital might need it.

    "My budget is very slim at $74,000. What I do have is a small plot of land with four shipping containers which I had been using as storage for the past ten years. I have managed to clean the containers out completely. I have heard some people actually live in shipping containers, and I was wondering if maybe we could use them to make a house for me?" He looks tired, unsure, and incredibly sad, distorting the smiling mouth make-up on his face.

    "I can certainly work with the shipping containers," you assure him with a smile. "What kind of rooms do you need, aside from a kitchen and a bathroom?"

    "Actually, I need two bathrooms. My little girl, Emily, will be with me every other weekend, and she will need her own bedroom and bathroom. She is six and loves bunnies and cats. I need a bedroom and bath, but my bathroom can also be a guest bathroom. The kitchen is good, but it can be small with a microwave since I am not the best cook. Oh, and I would love a library/media room. Outside I would like an area for picnics and a grill. Emily will need a place to play." He sighs again.

    You look over your notes again. "That is quite a list to do on that budget, but I am sure you and Emily will both love your new home! I can have it done by the end of the month."

    The sad clown suddenly looked brighter. "I can't thank you enough!"


    THE BRIEF


    Budget: $74,000
    Unlike most challenges, the lot cost can be ignored for this one as Ash already owns his lot.
    At least 2 baths and 2 bedrooms in total.
    Each container is 4x12 spaces
    The client requires a bedroom and bath for Emily, a small kitchen, a library/media room, a master bedroom, and a second bathroom with a door to the master bedroom and another door for guests to use
    Include a a grill, picnic area, and a play area outdoors


    Room Challenge

    Create the master/guest bath (be sure to include 2 access doors). Budget is 7,500


    Sim Challenge

    Create Ash Rutherford and name his clown persona, and create Emily. Be sure to include likes, skills, his day job, and clothing choices for both. Show them in their new home.

His wife soon to be Ex has filed for a divorce and he was faced with a short timeline to find somewhere to live. He came to me with hopes that i could turn his 4 storage containers into a beautiful home for his and his daughter that visits him every other weekend. with a not so big budget of 74k. I was able to pull some strings and get the build done rather quickly with the help of some friends who were excited to work with shopping containers. The end result, he seemed very happy with his new home. For the future he hopes to become a famous childrens book writer.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Ash wanted a cozy home for him and his daughter Emily when she visited. I made sure to give Emily her own corner in the backyard which has a picnic/crafts area and her very own tree house. The back porch has the grilling area that Ash wanted and a second picnic area for adults. If there is to be dancing the couch can easily be moved from the back porch to make room. The house is very colorful reflecting the clown that Ash is. Each room has it's own color but the color schemes match through out except for Emilys room which is pink/purple. The media room has it's own curtain that can be closed to give the feel of a movie theater. The fish tank coffee table is very entertaining as well as useful. Ash can play with Emily in the picnic area, swings, tree house, or swimming in the big pool.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Ash has recently divorced from his wife and is branching out from the regular suburban and moving to a shipping container home. The home contains room for both himself and his daughter Emily. Being a shipping container home windows aren't down everyside of the building to maintain structural integrity. The containers are placed in an L shape to form a border around a large deck which will be useful for entertaining when Ash feels ready to entertain once again. The home contains a special storage area for his clowning gear as well as a microphone so Ash can practice for his true career dream of becoming a stand up comedian. The natural texture of the containers is featured as the containers are only partially clad in colourful panels. The graffiti that was drawn on the containers at the storage lot has been maintained and featured as urban art on the building.

    ENTRY DETAILS: Great build and family concept. I had a lot of fun working within those confines.
    I decided to play 3 of the shipping containers side-by-side and stagger them, with the middle container gaining entery to the home and creating a little foyer, with the other two giving an offset exit to the patio, from either bedroom. I had initially considered propping the 4th container up on it's end, and designing a fort-like play area for the child, but I had trouble wasting that much space as I felt it would have hurt the 'Media Room' needs. In the end, I placed the 4th along the facia of the home, as a second floor and used the wasted space behind it, for the play area, with high glass fencing for safety and extended the roofing over the top, to protect from weather and added glass sections, for light, creating a larger 'patio' play area, outside, but still a part of the home, for the child.
    I did choose to run the stairs to the second floor down the middle of the home and up into the 4th container, so I chose to separate the media room into two sections, with one for reading, with a desk area and laptop and the other for Movies and Gaming. (I don't like noise when I am reading either. (Homer and CSI don't blend)

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Doing some research for this challenge was such an eye opener, I honestly has no idea that container builds were such a big thing! As ever I found out some really interesting things, such as the challenges around getting the right insulation, the risk of dangerous pesticides having soaked into the flooring and the problems created by condensation.......I love that I learn something new with these challenges, thank you @BuildnShare I hit a slight hiccup when I reread the brief and realised I'd missed that the bathroom should be accessible from two sides, took me a while to redesign the top floor!
    To make life as easy as possible for the newly single Ash we've kept external maintenance to a minimum on this property but have included some lovely entertaining spaces for him and Emily so they'll be encouraged to have plenty of friends around and move on with their lives. The living areas are designed to encourage them both to spend lots of time together, and we've made them as bright and airy as possible so that it doesn't actually feel like living in a metal box. As the home is mostly for a single man, we've kept the clutter/extra deco items to a minimum. Finally, given that Ash will have less time to work when he has to stay home with Emily, we've installed a video recording station so that Ash can start to earn money by vlogging from home (our version of the media room!)

    ENTRY DETAILS: Using the slim budget of & 74,000.00. We arranged the storage units in a square so that there was a courtyard in the middle. The units were made to not stand out like containers. We gave them individual roofs and over lapped them so there would be peaks , that would give it the look of an ordinary home. A Car port was added and a roof covers the middle court yard - like a garden room- its glass..Inexpensive siding was added.Total cost came in under budget at 72,803.00 . All of the customers requirements were met , and then some..

    ENTRY DETAILS: So why the just for fun entry? A shipping container is always 8' or 2.44m wide. A tile is one meter. I could not reconcile the four tiles wide with shipping container. (There would be too much overhang when loaded on a truck deck) It’s not you @BuildnShare it's me. 12x4x4=192. Your modular buildings would be like 40' work camp modular buildings or school portables. 16x3x4=192 so same tile count, is closer to the 53' ISO container.
    Ash had four containers on an island next to an old lighthouse. The containers were stacked in an interlocking pattern, lashed together to withstand the winter winds and secured to raised pilings so the container bottoms won't decay. The mesh skirting is to dissuade any pragmatic skunks or racoons from getting any ideas. You can't see it but there is plank foam insulation secured under each of the containers and sealed. On the inside, the unfinished wood plank floors have been sanded and sealed. There is staircase on the inside corner where the four containers intersect. The staircase has extra support posts to take weight down to the floor of the lower containers. This is needed because all the strength in a container is in the corners. For the interior finishing, there are interlocking plank foam backed drywall panels secured to spacers and then the corrugated areas behind the walls and ceiling were filled with spray foam. The home feels quiet, it does not feel tinny or echoey. Window openings were cut into the containers and good R factor windows were inserted. Cladded trim was added at all the junctions and corners for extra strength and to close any gaps. The exterior should not require much upkeep. Four brightly coloured containers might look a little clownish but Ash really doesn't mind.
    For the interior I went on an unabashed CC binge using more "slim” furnishings since my containers are only 3 tiles wide. I very rarely use CC but decided to go all out for this build. The front door leads to a vestibule then straight into the kitchen. There is no stove but the SIMs are just fine with a fridge, microwave and coffee pot. After the kitchen, there is an open area with laundry, a door leading outside and the base of the stairs. Wrapping around the staircase is the library, as we enter the next container there is a cozy seating room with a fireplace and past that is the media room. The media room has a carpet floor for better acoustics. Upstairs is a bit of a playroom then on the right there is a bathroom and through the bathroom is Emmaleigh's room. Emmaleigh has a little balcony and fire escape. Upstairs to the left is a half bath for guests then Ash's room and at the end of that container above the front door a full en-suite.
    The landscaping is simple and meant to blend-in with the surrounding flora. The open space in the elbow of the building has a fire pit, grill, picnic table and swing set. The view of the sea is probably breathtaking.

    DETAILS: Ash Rutherfords Container Home.
    A few years ago the island nation of Sulani ran into financial troubles and had to sell off former public land. Parts of this land had some old ruins of the former kingdom of Sulan on it - the provision of buying this cheap land was that the new owners had to allow access to archaeologists for a period of 5 years and that they couldn't change the ruins. Luckily for Ash that timeframe is over and it is perfectly possible to prop up containers over some ruin walls. He even used part of the ruins, expanded around them and build a play-house for his daughter Emily! The containers contain an open concept kitchen-living-area, 2 bedrooms, 3 baths and a media/liberary room that can also function as a guestbedroom. Outside the deck offers an outdoor kitchen and accees to the pier - from which it is possible to swim in the coral reef!

    #BnS134 - The Hawthorne Project X - The Ravenwoods

    The deadline for this challenge is 29 February 2020

    Dear Lords and Ladies of the Hawthorne Project,

    Let me introduce myself; I am Lord Benjamin Thaddeus Ravenwood, adventurer, explorer, inventor and time traveler. I am writing to you on behalf of my Lady Elizabeth Genevieve Ravenwood and myself.

    My Lady and I have traveled here from the year 1881. We never intended to stay here for very long, but unfortunately our timemachine has broken down. We have been exploring your magnificent time, finding shelter in the parks and places that are called 'camping'. So far it has been a wonderful experience, despite our broken machine.

    Given enough time we surely would be able to repair the apparatus, but our situation has recently changed. Even though we never have been lucky enough to conceive, my Lady Elizabeth is now with child. I am afraid the little one would not survive the harsh journey back in time even if we would be able to. We would never undertake an endeavor that could bring harm to our child, so we have decided we will have to stay in this century. At least until the child is old enough.

    As far as I am concerned this century is a marvelous one, full of medical and technological wonders. Even if I sometimes wonder where all the steam is to power all of it.

    In the short months we have been here, we have explored the jungles of Selvadorada, traveled the precarious roads of Granite Falls, wandered the deserts of Oasis Springs, revelled in the beauty of Windenburg and marveled at the great city of San Myshuno. We are enjoying the wild extravagance of this century and most of all the frankness of the people. The sensibilities of our own age never much agreed with us. Nevertheless, as expected, not every person is equally discerning. Some people in the city told us we were, -how did they put it?- 'Bloody cool Steampunks'. Of course, I checked, but we were neither cold nor bleeding at the time.

    But I digress. I am writing because we are in need of a home. Now that we no longer are just the two of us, we need to make sure the little life we bring into this strange new world will have a good start. We were lucky to have been introduced to your wonderful project by a very friendly doctor of the San Myshuno Free Clinic, who then helped us though the bewildering process of 'downloading' and 'printing' the necessary papers that enabled me to write you this plea. They assured me the postal services are excellent and you will receive my writing within days!

    There is still much to learn for us here and we will have to work hard to find a place in a time which is not our own so we can provide a stable living for our little one.

    As far as the house is concerned, I am sure a simple roof over our heads will suffice. Nevertheless, Lady Elizabeth does miss the aesthetics of our time. She also longs for the tranquility of our old home in the country, where we were surrounded by nothing but nature. I must agree; everything here is very busy and loud. If I could make one request it would be to live somewhere quiet. Maybe somewhere where I could fish and plant a fruit- and vegetable garden. I do not think we need this thing called 'electricity' everybody is talking about, we have always managed fine with a little steam from a good fire. I like to build things, so I will need a space to work on my inventions and see to repairing our timemachine in case we will want to go back someday.

    A woodfire and candles will do to warm ourselves and light the house. We can cook on a woodstove as well. We would love to keep some animals, but I am not sure this is possible at this time.

    My Lady enjoys reading, painting and playing the violin. And of course we will need sufficient space and supplies for our child to grow up strong and smart like its parents.

    We hope you will accept our humble request. Surely do not fear if this is not possible, above all we are adventurers, so we will rise to any challenge.

    With highest regard,
    Lord and Lady Ravenwood.

    P.S.
    If it is in any way helpful, we did not come here empty handed. We have a considerable amount of valuables we can invest in this home if needed. But we still cannot purchase a house regularly, for we do not have any of the necessary papers to do so.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Mr. Ravenwood wanted a simple home while Mrs. Ravenwood missed the aesthetics of their time and wanted a home in the country. So I created the Ravenwood Hideaway! There is a fishing pond not far for Mr. Ravenwood to travel to. The location is in the woods where there are no neighbors only trees. Mr. Ravenwood requested a work shop so one was built w/the addition of a lovely green house since he does like to garden as well. Mrs. Ravenwood has her own little hobby room for creating paints or music and they can both enjoy time together in the lovely parlor room or entertain guests. The dining room is simple and as well as the kitchen. The bathroom has everything they need. The baby has it's own room that it can grow into. The Ravenwoods have their own little bedroom as well.
    Also please note that the workshop & greenhouse are actually part of the 2nd level so anything changed there changes the 2nd level of the house.

Lady Ravenwood loves the violin and serenades her husband often. Painting is a stress relief for Lady Ravenwood. She plans to fill her home with her artwork. The easel is placed by the windows for true light in the day. Decoration items around the room remind them of their most recent trips: A chicken they picked up from a vendor in Oasis Springs, a picture of Lady R from Windenburg, artwork scroll from San Myshuno, basket from Selvadora holding a piece of coal they found in Granite Falls. The coal reminds them of home.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I wanted to try and recreate a Folk Victorian style house, that was entirely off grid, The house is in Windenburg as it is a quieter, slow paced town. There is Fishing spots right outside the house, with plenty of room to grow vegetables, and to maintain a beautiful garden. There is a bike on the porch for transportation and fitness. I made the nursery gender neutral, as that surprise will only be revealed at birth. I decorated in a style that the family should be use to.
    I was having trouble getting everything to place when replacing the lot (not due to MOO) I was reading/ researching, and it seems to be a glitch/bug e.g the fireplace would disappear (if you download my lot)

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Whilst their 40k budget didn't allow us to rebuild the large Stately Home that the Ravenswood's used to call home, after getting a very comprehensive description from Lady Ravenswood we have recreated the Gatehouse and the Gazebo from Ravenswood Estate. The home includes a drawing room, dining kitchen, parlour for Lady Ravenswood, study for Lord Ravenswood, the main bedroom and a nursery, and the Gazebo is now Lord Ravenswood's outdoor workshop.
    Note: Oil lamps might suit the Ravenswoods perfectly but drove our photographer nuts, so we would like to thank A Lamp Named Claudine for her huge assistance in getting shots of the interior that are actually visible!!
    Build notes: I knew straight away what I wanted to do with this build as I've had three separate friends who have lived in old Gatehouses and I've loved them all. I had to go hunting for one that would translate into a sims build though so the original inspiration was this building. Fitting everything into the budget was a fun challenge (I *really* wanted to keep the piano and chimneys, it made for some tough decisions!!) however I've been building starters recently so actually 40k seemed like quite a lot! I've been practicing with TOOL and watching some tutorials, so I've tried some new things in this build but anything MOO'd has been thoroughly playtested and all works perfectly. Everything also stays put if placed without MOO (apart from one irritating $73 item that I can't even find, so it's clearly nothing critical)

    ENTRY DETAILS: The countryside of Windenburg was scoured for the perfect location as specified by Lord & Lady Ravenwood. An area called "Cottage Am See " fit our budget ( Empty lot cost $ 1,500 ) . Although the lot size is 20 x 20 all of what was specified by the Ravenwood's was accomplished..Using the considerable amount of valuables, and left overs that were discarded from the broken time machine. It was time to think out of the box and get creative. Keeping in mind a request by Lady Ravenwood the finished home reflects the aesthetics of the 1880's.This Steampunk Home in the country is surrounded by nothing but nature.The location is quiet and surrounded by a lake. {Am See means "at the lake" in German } So there will be a place for Lord Ravenwood to fish and a plot for a fruit & Vegetable garden. There is room enough to work on inventions and repairing the time-machine . This Home was created using many debug items. I had to think out of the box and get creative, in ways this builder has not done, ever..

    ENTRY DETAILS: This is a small Victorian inspired cottage. Lady Ravenwood would have been accustomed to a grand Victorian home with a room for each activity and all the rooms filled with every manner of knick knacks, heavy curtains and bright wall papers. By contrast, this cottage is tiny, though the game assures me it exceeds 100 tiles. It is probably more sparsely furnished & decorated than these clients would prefer. I have used impossible wall paper colours: bright green and lilac to help Lady Elizabeth feel at home despite the sparse furnishing and decoration. I have added art by Jlewi38 of exotic travel destinations and vintage paintings as these SIMs are probably very well travelled and interested in discovering whatever they can find to learn about. This lot has landscaped gardens to help it feel more full and interesting. It can work off-grid even in freezing temperatures. The lot has its own well and all the lighting is by candles and lanterns. Debug lighting has been added to photograph but the lot is playable without the extra lighting. The home has a basement with a space to wash up after crafting and gardening and a full bath. The main floor houses the main living area, the master and a kitchen and back porch built of stone so that if there is a kitchen fire hopefully the house can be saved. Upstairs is one bedroom set as a hobby room. The well has surface access to water the garden. There is a water tower for water pressure in the house.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Lord and Lady Ravenwood are trapped in a time that is not their own, however, they were able to design a home that is filled with all the trappings of their time. While it does not possess the same grandeur of their estate, Lord and Lady Ravenwood nonetheless worked together with architects and artisans to create a home that is uniquely their own. The kitchen is small, but bright and well-appointed (as most Victorian kitchens were), and while the dining room is not large enough to host the opulent parties of their time, it is nonetheless lavish. The living room boasts floor to ceiling windows that overlook the countryside, and a crackling fire in a wood stove keeps the room warm on long winter days. Lord Ravenwood requested for his workshop to be tucked away, and so it is hidden behind a secret bookcase. Here, Lord Ravenwood has spent his time inventing a suite of robots to perform the duties that the servants in the estate of their time once carried out. Up the stairs- which are guarded by a triad of skeletal warriors from a dig in Selvadorada- is where the family's personal rooms are. Massive, steampunk-style windows dominate the Lord and Lady's bedroom (offering plenty of light and providing sweeping views of the countryside), and the newborn twins' nursery offers a calming view of the lake. Lady Ravenwood's private room is also tucked away at the top of the stairs, providing her a place to read, paint, and play the violin to her heart's content.
    The garden outside is small, for now, but Lord and Lady Ravenwood plan to collect more plant specimens as time goes on and expand their garden accordingly. Eventually, after a few more digs in Selvadorada, and the sale of a few more collectibles, the Lord and Lady plan to build a greenhouse so they can have fresh produce all year long.

There is one indoor bathroom as well as a small outhouse. The house contains a study where Lady Ravenwood can read and practice her Violin, but I have given here a beautiful flower garden where she can enjoy painting the scenery outdoors. Lord Ravenwood has a workshop where he can continue to fix his time machine as well as work on other new inventions. The large yard will be a wonderful place for their children to play as they grow older, should they choose to stay in this time period.

    #BnS135 - Spring Designer Showdown

    The deadline for this challenge is 31 March 2020

    Calling all designers! It's time to show off your awesome skills in our Spring Designer Showdown!!!

    In the showdown, you have a foundation and 3 items on counters. ( Please disregard the counters. They may be sold back for money.) Place the lot on the Bargain Bend lot in Willow Creek, in any direction that will fit. Choose ONE of the three items to include in your build WITH THE COLORS GIVEN. Sell back the other items. You may not add anything to increase the size of the foundation given, except if adding stairs makes you add a space. You can build only on the foundation given. You can put walls of any kind and fences any where you wish on the foundation. Your design should reflect the item you chose and its given colors. You can change the size of the items, but not the colors.

    Rules:

    *NO changes to the foundation size or shape, except if adding stairs automatically adds a space.
    *Pick only one object for your inspiration. You can change its size but not its colors. Include your selected item in the build.
    *No basements.
    *You can build in the yard as long as it is not attached to the house. Any required rooms cannot be off of the foundation.
    *You can use any fences, walls, windows, and doors that you wish. You can designate any space on the foundation as a porch or room (so indoor or outdoor space).
    *The lot must be fully landscaped.


    THE BRIEF


    The budget is $103,440, which includes the lot as is.
    4 separate bedrooms/sleeping spaces
    At least 2 and a 1/2 bathrooms.
    A kitchen and place to eat.
    A study, living room, and media area--in any combination or all separate.
    laundry, either on or off the foundation.
    Any other rooms or areas you wish to include.
    The build can be as many floors as you want up but no basements.
    Please include a picture of the ground floor from overhead with the grid on so that we can verify no changes were made to the foundation.
    A spring theme is recommended but not demanded.

    INSTALL LOT FROM THE IN-GAME GALLERY: Search for Hashtag #BnS135. The lot is by Iampes23 and is titled "Spring Designer Showdown"

    Due to the nature of the build, there is no Sims or Room challenge this month.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I chose the lamp because I love modern homes. Perhaps I am not great at building them, but I will get better with each build! The lamp sits on a table in the entryway. I playtested the house and everything works. The son wants to be a veterinarian and so his room is full of pet stuff. Especially his favorite, dogs. The daughter is a little older and loves music and being girly. The 4th bedroom is a guest room and also used as a study and family room. There are many activities for the family. A pool, chess table set, swing set, gaming system, books, computers, and television to name some.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I chose to use the blue and gold urn for inspiration, and focused on incorporating it's beautiful colour palette, subtle floral detailing, and old fashioned elegance into my home. The shape of the conservatory is also meant to to echo the shape of the urn. I imagine the person who lives here is an older lady who spent most of her life travelling the world, but who now spends her retirement painting and taking long walks with her dogs. There's a spacious master bedroom, a guest room, and a room where her two grandchildren stay when they come to visit. Her painting studio is outside on the balcony so she can enjoy the beautiful spring weather. :)

    ENTRY DETAILS: This is my entry for the Spring Designer Showdown. I used the blue and gold urn as my inspiration. I decided to go for a victorian feel for house. The outside of the house is where I used the blue mostly and the inside has a lot of blue and yellow in reference to the urn. The urn also felt like it was from the victorian era hence the victorian style.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I decided to use the lamp, which inspired me to use wood tones throughout, broken up y slashes of color, just as as spring flowers are spots of color against barren ground at the start of spring. I went for a contemporary style and tried to use pieces whose description and look reminded me of the jellyfish lamp, such as the cufflefish sofa and the Laramidian end table.

    DETAILS: I choose the lamp for the design piece. It seemed to be a modern piece, so that is the style I went for. Because it is supposed to be in Spring, I decides to build a modern green house - so lots of plants and garden space. The plans might fit a bit better to a warmer climate, but they looked the best with the modern design, so I stuck with them. Total count of my design piece (the lamp): 38

    #BnS136 - A Tiny Hangout

    The deadline for this challenge is 30 April 2020

    You are just tidying up your office when you hear the door close behind you. You turn to find a teen-aged boy slouching into the room. His hair is black, and his eyes are bright blue. He is about medium build, although it is hard to be sure since his clothes are so baggy.

    "Hello," you say warmly. "How can I help you today?"

    He looks at you blankly. You notice the wires coming out of his ears. He removes his ear buds, and you repeat yourself.

    "Yeah, hey," he acknowledges you. "I am just starting college in the fall."

    He pauses, so you congratulate him. Then you wonder why he is here, smacking the gum in his mouth and staring at you.

    "Yeah. yeah," he finally continues after a very long moment. "My parents have given me a small plot of their estate to live on."

    Again he pauses, but this time you merely wait on him.

    "Right, so...I need a place to live," he says. "You know, on this land. But I don't know how to build, do I? So I've come to you to build it."

    "Well, you have come to the right place, Mr?"

    "Oh, right. Yeah. I am Guy Orange," he says, giving you a slight smile that looks suspiciously like a smirk.

    "Well, Mr. Orange, let's start with some basics. How big is the lot we have to work with?" you ask politely.

    "Yeah. It measures 20 by 15," his eyes never leave you. His staring is beginning to make you jittery.

    Suddenly he blurts out, "Half of the lot needs to be a hangout space, maybe around a fire pit. For me and my mates."

    "Okay," you say, hiding your shock with some quick note taking. "You will need a bathroom, a place to sleep, a place to eat... What else would you like?"

    "Yeah, so... a place to study. And a place to play video games."

    "That is very do-able. What is the budget?" you ask briskly.

    Still staring and chomping on his gum, he answers, "They gave me $30,000. Yeah. I need this quick. They want me out of the house, like yesterday."

    "I can have it for you by the end of the month," you assure him.

    "Yeah. Get to it then," he says, putting his ear buds back into his ears and still staring at you. You nod as he gets up and slinks out of your office. As soon as the door closes, you pull out a small mirror and check your teeth for any food caught in them, wondering what he had been staring at.


    THE BRIEF


    *due April 30, 2020
    *the budget is 30,000, which does not include the cost of the lot.
    *use a 20x15 lot.
    *the house itself should be no bigger than half of the lot, placed at one end of the lot. You can build up and down in the same footprint.
    *outside needs a fire pit and landscaping.
    *have spaces for a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, a study, and a place to play video games.

    Sim Challenge

    *create Guy Orange and his family.
    *show all their clothing choice and give skills, likes, etc.
    *show them looking around Guy's new home.

    Room Challenge

    *create the small kitchen.
    *the budget is $8,000

When his parents told him he needed to move out, they also said he could live in the old shed at the end of the garden. Guy likes to hang out with his friends to play games, watch movies and sit around the campfire, so this is a perfect spot for him. His small budget didn't allow for too many luxuries, but he has what he needs: a bed, a kitchen, a bathroom, a study, and a place to hang out with his friends.

Guy , being a teen has splurged on items like his computer, 2 TVs and consoles but has extremely cheap counters and appliances etc. Decoration is minimal and masculine - the only art is some posters which reflect Guy's interests. His house is set up as a party pad with a fire pit, cooler and grill. This is my first time experimenting with terrain tools (I chose this build because it was on a small lot).

I thought that his parents would have gifted him a small parcel of land at the back of their property and we "utilized" an old barn or shed for his new home. I decided to go with a loft style as you can create more space for less, I wanted to add in a barbecue on the balcony but went with lounges instead.

    I saw this house watching a HGTV show and made a full sized one. Thought it translated well into a tiny home with a few changes. Hope you all like it

    ENTRY DETAILS: Three-member family, two parents and a teenage child who will be starting college soon. Parents are well-off and not afraid to spend their money on their son. Guy, however, is a pretty low-key person, preferring to simply hang out with his friends between study sessions. He isn't flashy or snobby like his parents, so it's probably a good thing he's getting his own space soon!

    ENTRY DETAILS: Guy's family made their fortune growing exotic flowers and sending them all around the world. Although he has maxed skill in gardening, Guy's love is gaming - he's an expert ready for professional tournaments. His parents thought, what to do? They decided to give him the chance to pursue his dreams but far away from gossipy Windenberg society. He also has well-developed in programming, painting, and writing as well as decent "adulting" abilities.

    DETAILS: Guys Tiny home! It fits on the 32-tile category. I really wanted to build a tiny home for a long time, but I still really struggle with the Sims4 not allowing half floors. They are so important in small spaces! As a result, most of this is build for looks and not for total playability...

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Guy Orange is starting university in the fall and his parents want him out of the house "like yesterday". They have given him one of their old storage warehouses on the docks, which we have renovated into a nice cozy hangout for guy and his friends. You see, Guy comes from a wealthy family. His parents own a shipping company in Brindleton Bay and have worked very hard to make it successful. Guy on the the other hand does not have the same ambition as his parents. All he seems to care about is having a good time. His parents are hoping that this will finally teach him some responsibility. They are insisting that he goes to university so that he will be qualified to one day take over the family business, because as it stands now they are seriously considering other possibilities.
