@Becka28 Sorry I didn’t mean to confuse you 😬 I was just trying to say that with the butler then you *can* get 9 sims living in the house.
If you have the pack then you can defo play test with it if you like, but you don’t need to. It’s like the laundry, we don’t need the packs for the rooms requested in the brief, we just need to build them. And honestly I never use the butler or hire a maid normally (or play a full house!) but I've been trying it for my play test....it’s carnage, I wouldn’t recommend it 🤣🤣

ENTRY DETAILS: Build notes:
I had no idea that Willow Creek was based on New Orleans and I’d never heard of a shotgun house before this – cue lots of research….who would have guessed that Maxis built long narrow houses with ridiculously high walls intentionally! I decided to try to stick to the traditional concept of keeping the central wall in the double shotgun, no hallways and having to cut through each room to get to the next….it made for some tricky decorating in long narrow rooms! After looking at all the amazing colours in the New Orleans homes and a fairly monochromatic last couple of builds, I also decided that for this challenge I wanted to have a riot of colour, so I made my Agatha and Dan into a creative, colour loving pair and built for them 😊 I learned a lot and had great fun with this one, thank you @BuildnShare!
Sales pitch:
Welcome to the newly renovated Riverside Roost. As Agatha loved the double shotgun style of her original home and requested we keep it as much as possible, we simply extended the camelback (upper floor) right to the back and proposed adding a small extension over the deck - thankfully Agatha agreed! We also extended the deck, added a pool and created some beautiful garden areas for the couple and their children.
Sadly we discovered dry rot in the roof so it had to be replaced, but we kept the style; we also brightened up the paint and trim work New Orleans style to better suit this vibrant, lively family.
Dan & Agatha share a love for bright colours and collecting eclectic art & furniture, so the home is filled with lots of pops of colour and some fantastic light fittings plus you'll find plenty of the exotic indoor plants that we brought from gardener Dan's old home.
We thought that was a bit rough on the teens to share with the younger siblings, so managed to get them separate rooms too. (16 rooms in total in this fairly small footprint, they must be mad haha)
Fully playtested (even hired a butler to be the maid – he was rubbish though so Agatha sacked him!), built with MOO but places perfectly without.

ENTRY DETAILS: Here's a story,
Of a lovely lady,
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of Red,
Like their mother --
The youngest one in curls.
Here's a story,
Of a man named Bradley,
Who was bringing up three boys of his own.
They were four men,
Living all together,
Yet they were all, alone.
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group might somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Bradley Bunch!

This bedroom is built for 3 brothers: Henry (15), Harold (10), and Robbie (6).
Inspired by the riverside location of Riverside Roost, I have decorated the room in watery shades of white and blue.
Also, as the boys’ step-mother, Agatha, wanted to keep the style of Riverside Roost as much as possible, I went for a traditional, countrified style in the décor of the room.

This is a modified double shotgun home great for entertaining and for a large family. It has 4 bedrooms, 5 baths. We had to redo this house for a new family while keeping the “bones” of the house. There is a master bedroom with en suite. The 3 boys and 3 girls share rooms and they each have their own bathrooms. The housekeeper has her own room also with En Suite. Plenty of activities for the whole family inside as well as outside. There is a BBQ area, swings, doll house and bikes to use outside as well as a lovely garden.

A wrap-around patio is added for added family fun. The laundry is included on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms for convenience. In the hallway upstairs I've made room for a "study area" for the older children to do their homework, since there's not a lot of extra room in the bedrooms. There's a large private balcony off of the master bedroom for some "quiet time" for the parents when needed. A basement is included with a large family room for the family to gather and have fun, and there's also a study with an office in the basement.

LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Imgur is not cooperating with me, I can’t get posts to be made public. I have provided the screenshots below under spoilers to aid in loading.
ENTRY DETAILS: I kept the same clapboard style exterior from the original build but with a pink, yellow, and white trim. I love the New Orleans style and spent several hours on Pinterest looking for landscaping ideas for this build. You’ll find a lot of oleander, gardenias (white flowered bushes), palms, and ferns in this yard. I tried to match it to the rest of the neighborhood. There is a large magnolia tree in the back. I kept the front of the house the same width, but expanded and enclosed the porch at the side of the house both upstairs and downstairs to accommodate a dining room (downstairs) and bedroom (upstairs). The second floor was also expanded to accommodate larger shared rooms for the girls. I was trying to use a lot of the original furniture, but I loved the couches featured in the Paranormal Stuff pack as well as Parenthood and drew mostly from that. I think the combined furniture styles mesh well with the aesthetic typical in Willow Creek. I went with either mint green, grey, or light blue with trim tones throughout the house. The floor is still a wood floor but was refinished to a lighter stain. I added a lot of “mess” details (accessory wise) throughout the house, because with 6 rambunctious children, there will be plenty of destruction. The living room is large and is truly a family room, all the toys etc for the children are located here for their enjoyment and enrichment.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please!

Exterior of House :
Side View
Interior of House:
Let’s take the Tour!
First floor
Living Room/Den/Study
Front porch and door:
After entering the front door of the porch, you’ll find yourself in the study/living room/play area. Agatha had a lot of the furniture reupholstered although the family did have to make additional purchases of furniture to accommodate such a large family!
This living room is definitely family friendly
2 large couches, a matching chair and plenty of cushions offer comfort for the family and guests.
There is a big screen tv with a gaming console. A puppet theater closet offers hours of fun for the children
The children enjoy gathering in the toy corner with a voidcritter battle station, dollhouse, toy chest and plenty of stuffed toys, as well as a desk top computer. I had fun making it look like a mess
A bar overlooks the room, with a drawing table in the corner
Different angle. There’s a lot going on here lol
Kitchen:
A long hallway will lead you to the back portion of the house.
You’ll pass the kitchen on the right. Dan and Agantha upgraded all the appliances and refinished the counters
Powder Room
There is a half bath across from the kitchen.
Master Bedroom and ensuite bathroom
At the end of the hallway you’ll come to Dan and Agatha’s master bedroom
Considering the number of children they have and the chaos that they can create, Agatha wanted a simple bedroom with clean lines where she can wind down!
Across from the bed is their walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom
The bathroom includes a garden tub, long countertop, walk-in shower, and of course, a toilet
Laundry Room
Leaving the master bedroom, you turn left and find yourself in another hallway. The laundry room is on your right
Dining Room
At the end of the hallway is the family dining room. The kids gather here after school to do homework, meals, and holiday celebrations. This place used to be a porch but it was enclosed and expanded. A large bay window overlooks the river and back yard
Backyard
A door leads out to the back yard and back deck. There’s a grill and sitting area
A swing, soccer area, and wading pool offer lots of fun and opportunities for the family
There’s plenty of landscaping. Agatha enjoys the bird feeder, bird bath and house
The back portion of the house is a little overgrown, but they installed a new air conditioner
The front yard is landscaped
Upstairs
Beatrice’s Bedroom
Going back into the house, you will take the staircase to the second level
Go down the long hallway to a the bedroom at the end.
This is Beatrice’s room!
She has a comfortable chair in a nook in the corner of the room overlooking the river.
And her private bathroom
Boy’s Room and bathroom
Go back in to the hallway. A door to your right leads to the chaos that is the boy’s room lol
This room is fairly large, but with such a diverse range in personalities and ages, each boy wants a little bit of their own space.
Little Robbie’s space. He likes dinosaurs
Harold is a little geek! He loves robots and voidcritters I put in some room dividers to give him a little bit of privacy
Henry is a bit of a loner. He loves the Goth and Emo aesthetic and is often swinging between each style. He loves Star Wars, electromusic, and the color black. He definitely needs his own space
A door leads to the boys shared bathroom
Girls’ Room and bathroom
Across the hall from the boys room is the girls room!
Its accented with yellow, pink, and lavender The girls also each yearn for their own space. Agatha put in plenty of dividers to help separate her quarrelling daughters.
Mindy’s section
Sherry’s section:
Sherry loves the outdoors and her friends. I provided a shelf for any items she may collect on her hikes outside
Her big sister Katie is all about fashion and drama.
She’s just getting into makeup and clothes
A door leads to the girl’s bathroom

LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Imugr isn’t cooperating with me today so its under spoilers in this post
ENTRY DETAILS: I have to say I had a lot of fun making this family! I plan on playing them later! Dan Bradley: He is a hoot. He works in the Tech Guru career (midlevel) and is an adult (about 40). After his first wife was abducted by aliens never to be seen again (although rumor has it she was seen hanging out with Don Lothario), he was left with 3 rambunctious boys to raise. Dan is a geek, family oriented and a goofball. You will often find him making references about the Marvel Universe or making fun of Journey to Batuu. He is a cheerful guy but tends to be a source of embarrassment to his sons. He always wears socks with his sandals. He was cosplaying at the Geek Con in San Myshuno when he met…
Agatha Hornsby: Agatha is a lovely lady. She was left with 3 young daughters to raise all on her own after her husband was tragically squished by a vending machine while buying a bottle of green tea. Agatha is an adult and has a mid level position in the journalism career. She is a major bookworm, cheerful, and family oriented. Agatha was writing a feature article on the outdoor Geek Con held in San Myshuno every year for the San Myshuno Times newspaper. She normally is not into these weird geeks, but when she spotted that second Boba Fett wearing socks and sandals talking to Darth Vader, she just had to introduce herself. Boba Fett had her in stitches with his quirky sense of humor. And that is how she met Dan. Agatha loves to write slam poetry and can often be found at the library reciting it Beatnik style. Both Dan and Agatha want to be super parents and want their children to succeed at all things in life.
THE CHILDREN
Henry Bradley: Dan’s oldest son, 15 yr old Henry is strikingly different from his father. He has recently adopted a goth aesthetic, or emo. He can never decide. He loves the color black. Henry is a loner and gloomy. You will often find him moping in his section of his room. He wants to become a writer in the future. He has secretly written several fanfic novels featuring a steampunk duo of Sherlock Holmes and Kylo Ren who solve mysteries on planet Sixam. Henry gets along well with Agatha believe it or not. He loves coffee, and recently took a part time job working for Starbucks. He also likes listening to metal and electronica music.
Harold Bradley: Henry’s little 10 yr old brother. Harold is the spitting image of his dad and is a total geek. He loves robots and anything and everything Voidcritter. He can play just about any videogame. If only they could get him to play outside.
Robbie Bradley: Dan’s youngest son at 6 yrs old. I really debated making him either a toddler or a child. I went with a toddler life stage but I gave him maxed skills so he has full range of speech and motion. He has a more child age fashion instead of that of a younger toddler. He should be ready to age up to a child stage but he is a sweet kid and is fun to play. He’s a curious little booger and loves to explore.
Katie Hornsby: Agatha’s oldest daughter at 14 developed horrible acne after hitting puberty and has started using a lot of make-up to cover it up. While doing so, she discovered a major love for fashion, style, and make-up. Although her fashion statements may not be the most coordinated at this stage. But give the girl some due, she’s still learning. She is a DIVA. Katie is self-absorbed and an insider. She wants to lead the most exclusive fashion clique in highschool, but also make as many friends as possible. Agatha enrolled her daughter into drama club in an effort to give the child a creative outlet.
Sherry Hornsby: Katie’s 9 year old sister is quite different from her mother and sisters. She loves the outdoors! You’ll often find this little girl playing on the swing set or out looking for frogs and little fish. She lives to camp. As a result, Agatha signed her up for the Scouts, and Sherry has taken it like, well, a fish to water!
Mindy Hornsby: Agatha’s youngest daughter at 5. Again I debated making her a toddler or child. I went with toddler. She has maxed toddler skills with full range of motion and speech. She’s adorable! But she likes to do everything herself since she is quite independent.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please!
CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: No CC
SPACE FOR PICTURES: Under the spoilers. Includes all their clothing choices for each outfit category
Dan Bradley
Dan is a bit of a dork, in the best way, so he doesn’t have the greatest sense of fashion. He’s infamous for his socks and sandals.
Henry Bradley
Henry is really into Goth fashion and loves to wear black, or anything with skulls on it
Harold Bradley
Harold is your typical boy. He loves tech and games centered t-shirts.
Robbie Bradley
Agatha Hornsby
I think that Agatha would love poetry and has a unique personality and aesthetic. I really like Agatha
Katie Hornsby
Poor Katie has awful acne. But she discovered her love of makeup and fashion when trying to cover it up. She’s still finding her personal style
Sherry Hornsby
I like Sherry. She’s a cute kid! I gave her an outdoors friendly wardrobe since she spends so much time exploring nature.
Mindy Hornsby Mindy’s outfits are simple to put on since she insists on dressing herself.

CHALLENGE #146 - The Bradley Bunch
FORUM ID: PINKUSFAMILY
ORIGIN ID: PINKUSFAMILY
LEVEL: Expert
HOUSEHOLD: The Bradley Bunch
LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Album
ENTRY DETAILS: Here's a story,
Of a lovely lady,
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of Red,
Like their mother --
The youngest one in curls.
Here's a story,
Of a man named Bradley,
Who was bringing up three boys of his own.
They were four men,
Living all together,
Yet they were all, alone.
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
And they knew it was much more than a hunch,
That this group might somehow form a family.
That's the way we all became the Bradley Bunch!
( The Brady Bunch Lyrics from the TV sitcom. The series aired for five seasons. from September 26, 1969, to March 8, 1974 )

ENTRY DETAILS:
This bedroom is built for 3 brothers: Henry (15), Harold (10), and Robbie (6).
Inspired by the riverside location of Riverside Roost, I have decorated the room in watery shades of white and blue.
Also, as the boys’ step-mother, Agatha, wanted to keep the style of Riverside Roost as much as possible, I went for a traditional, countrified style in the décor of the room.

ENTRY DETAILS: I have updated the Bradley's home by adding more expensive looking exterior extras; replacing the doors and windows and such. I have extended the camel back second floor to accommodate all the bedrooms for the family, as well as widening the front right side portion of the house for extra space. The home is designed to be very family friendly; with a large kitchen and dining space, as well as many activities for the family to enjoy (the kids were the most excited about the tree house fort in the back yard). This house may not be the most tidy of homes, but it should suit the Bradley family quite nicely.

ENTRY DETAILS: I used most of all greens and browns colors, since the ownner seems to like them, but I combined with other colors for contrast. I used almost all the pieces of furniture and decor items from the original house. I enlarged the second floor and the balcony and side porch. I added more windows because the house looked a bit dark. More details in the descriptions on the Slideshow.

ENTRY DETAILS: I challenged myself to leave the external structure of the build as is as much as possible for authenticity, changing some of the color and style. I added an enclosed side yard for family leisure activities, and gave the interior of the home a retro vintage vibe. The maid's quarters are close to the central living area as well as the kids rooms. The parents get a little more privacy with a bedroom, office and private porch upstairs.

This is a modified double shotgun home great for entertaining and for a large family. It has 4 bedrooms, 5 baths. We had to redo this house for a new family while keeping the “bones” of the house. There is a master bedroom with en suite. The 3 boys and 3 girls share rooms and they each have their own bathrooms. The housekeeper has her own room also with En Suite. Plenty of activities for the whole family inside as well as outside. There is a BBQ area, swings, doll house and bikes to use outside as well as a lovely garden.

ENTRY DETAILS: I tried to include details that I thought a large family would need (or could appreciate). Plenty of room in the yard for the whole family to have bar-b-ques together. A wrap-around patio is added for added family fun. The laundry is included on the 2nd floor with the bedrooms for convenience. In the hallway upstairs I've made room for a "study area" for the older children to do their homework, since there's not a lot of extra room in the bedrooms. There's a large private balcony off of the master bedroom for some "quiet time" for the parents when needed. A basement is included with a large family room for the family to gather and have fun, and there's also a study with an office in the basement.

LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Imgur is not cooperating with me, I can’t get posts to be made public. I have provided the screenshots below under spoilers to aid in loading.
ENTRY DETAILS: I kept the same clapboard style exterior from the original build but with a pink, yellow, and white trim. I love the New Orleans style and spent several hours on Pinterest looking for landscaping ideas for this build. You’ll find a lot of oleander, gardenias (white flowered bushes), palms, and ferns in this yard. I tried to match it to the rest of the neighborhood. There is a large magnolia tree in the back. I kept the front of the house the same width, but expanded and enclosed the porch at the side of the house both upstairs and downstairs to accommodate a dining room (downstairs) and bedroom (upstairs). The second floor was also expanded to accommodate larger shared rooms for the girls. I was trying to use a lot of the original furniture, but I loved the couches featured in the Paranormal Stuff pack as well as Parenthood and drew mostly from that. I think the combined furniture styles mesh well with the aesthetic typical in Willow Creek. I went with either mint green, grey, or light blue with trim tones throughout the house. The floor is still a wood floor but was refinished to a lighter stain. I added a lot of “mess” details (accessory wise) throughout the house, because with 6 rambunctious children, there will be plenty of destruction. The living room is large and is truly a family room, all the toys etc for the children are located here for their enjoyment and enrichment.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please!

SPACE FOR PICTURES: I tried to use Imugr but its not cooperating. Everything is under spoilers
Exterior of House :
First floor
Living Room/Den/Study
Front porch and door:
After entering the front door of the porch, you’ll find yourself in the study/living room/play area. Agatha had a lot of the furniture reupholstered although the family did have to make additional purchases of furniture to accommodate such a large family!
This living room is definitely family friendly
2 large couches, a matching chair and plenty of cushions offer comfort for the family and guests.
There is a big screen tv with a gaming console. A puppet theater closet offers hours of fun for the children
The children enjoy gathering in the toy corner with a voidcritter battle station, dollhouse, toy chest and plenty of stuffed toys, as well as a desk top computer. I had fun making it look like a mess
A bar overlooks the room, with a drawing table in the corner
Different angle. There’s a lot going on here lol
Kitchen:
You’ll pass the kitchen on the right. Dan and Agantha upgraded all the appliances and refinished the counters
Considering the number of children they have and the chaos that they can create, Agatha wanted a simple bedroom with clean lines where she can wind down!
Across from the bed is their walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom
The bathroom includes a garden tub, long countertop, walk-in shower, and of course, a toilet
A swing, soccer area, and wading pool offer lots of fun and opportunities for the family
There’s plenty of landscaping. Agatha enjoys the bird feeder, bird bath and house
The back portion of the house is a little overgrown, but they installed a new air conditioner
The front yard is landscaped
Beatrice’s Bedroom
Go down the long hallway to a the bedroom at the end.
This is Beatrice’s room!
She has a comfortable chair in a nook in the corner of the room overlooking the river.
And her private bathroom
This room is fairly large, but with such a diverse range in personalities and ages, each boy wants a little bit of their own space.
Little Robbie’s space. He likes dinosaurs
Harold is a little geek! He loves robots and voidcritters I put in some room dividers to give him a little bit of privacy
Henry is a bit of a loner. He loves the Goth and Emo aesthetic and is often swinging between each style. He loves Star Wars, electromusic, and the color black. He definitely needs his own space
A door leads to the boys shared bathroom
Its accented with yellow, pink, and lavender
The girls also each yearn for their own space. Agatha put in plenty of dividers to help separate her quarrelling daughters.
Mindy’s section
Sherry’s section:
Sherry loves the outdoors and her friends. I provided a shelf for any items she may collect on her hikes outside
Her big sister Katie is all about fashion and drama.
She’s just getting into makeup and clothes
A door leads to the girl’s bathroom

LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Imugr isn’t cooperating with me today so its under spoilers in this post
ENTRY DETAILS: I have to say I had a lot of fun making this family! I plan on playing them later! Dan Bradley: He is a hoot. He works in the Tech Guru career (midlevel) and is an adult (about 40). After his first wife was abducted by aliens never to be seen again (although rumor has it she was seen hanging out with Don Lothario), he was left with 3 rambunctious boys to raise. Dan is a geek, family oriented and a goofball. You will often find him making references about the Marvel Universe or making fun of Journey to Batuu. He is a cheerful guy but tends to be a source of embarrassment to his sons. He always wears socks with his sandals. He was cosplaying at the Geek Con in San Myshuno when he met…
Agatha Hornsby: Agatha is a lovely lady. She was left with 3 young daughters to raise all on her own after her husband was tragically squished by a vending machine while buying a bottle of green tea. Agatha is an adult and has a mid level position in the journalism career. She is a major bookworm, cheerful, and family oriented. Agatha was writing a feature article on the outdoor Geek Con held in San Myshuno every year for the San Myshuno Times newspaper. She normally is not into these weird geeks, but when she spotted that second Boba Fett wearing socks and sandals talking to Darth Vader, she just had to introduce herself. Boba Fett had her in stitches with his quirky sense of humor. And that is how she met Dan. Agatha loves to write slam poetry and can often be found at the library reciting it Beatnik style. Both Dan and Agatha want to be super parents and want their children to succeed at all things in life.
THE CHILDREN
Henry Bradley: Dan’s oldest son, 15 yr old Henry is strikingly different from his father. He has recently adopted a goth aesthetic, or emo. He can never decide. He loves the color black. Henry is a loner and gloomy. You will often find him moping in his section of his room. He wants to become a writer in the future. He has secretly written several fanfic novels featuring a steampunk duo of Sherlock Holmes and Kylo Ren who solve mysteries on planet Sixam. Henry gets along well with Agatha believe it or not. He loves coffee, and recently took a part time job working for Starbucks. He also likes listening to metal and electronica music.
Harold Bradley: Henry’s little 10 yr old brother. Harold is the spitting image of his dad and is a total geek. He loves robots and anything and everything Voidcritter. He can play just about any videogame. If only they could get him to play outside.
Robbie Bradley: Dan’s youngest son at 6 yrs old. I really debated making him either a toddler or a child. I went with a toddler life stage but I gave him maxed skills so he has full range of speech and motion. He has a more child age fashion instead of that of a younger toddler. He should be ready to age up to a child stage but he is a sweet kid and is fun to play. He’s a curious little booger and loves to explore.
Katie Hornsby: Agatha’s oldest daughter at 14 developed horrible acne after hitting puberty and has started using a lot of make-up to cover it up. While doing so, she discovered a major love for fashion, style, and make-up. Although her fashion statements may not be the most coordinated at this stage. But give the girl some due, she’s still learning. She is a DIVA. Katie is self-absorbed and an insider. She wants to lead the most exclusive fashion clique in highschool, but also make as many friends as possible. Agatha enrolled her daughter into drama club in an effort to give the child a creative outlet.
Sherry Hornsby: Katie’s 9 year old sister is quite different from her mother and sisters. She loves the outdoors! You’ll often find this little girl playing on the swing set or out looking for frogs and little fish. She lives to camp. As a result, Agatha signed her up for the Scouts, and Sherry has taken it like, well, a fish to water!
Mindy Hornsby: Agatha’s youngest daughter at 5. Again I debated making her a toddler or child. I went with toddler. She has maxed toddler skills with full range of motion and speech. She’s adorable! But she likes to do everything herself since she is quite independent.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please!
CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: No CC
SPACE FOR PICTURES: Under the spoilers. Includes all their clothing choices for each outfit category
Dan is a bit of a dork, in the best way, so he doesn’t have the greatest sense of fashion. He’s infamous for his socks and sandals.
Henry Bradley
Henry is really into Goth fashion and loves to wear black, or anything with skulls on it
Harold Bradley
Harold is your typical boy. He loves tech and games centered t-shirts.
Robbie Bradley
Agatha Hornsby
I think that Agatha would love poetry and has a unique personality and aesthetic. I really like Agatha
Katie Hornsby
Poor Katie has awful acne. But she discovered her love of makeup and fashion when trying to cover it up. She’s still finding her personal style
Sherry Hornsby
I like Sherry. She’s a cute kid! I gave her an outdoors friendly wardrobe since she spends so much time exploring nature.
Mindy Hornsby Mindy’s outfits are simple to put on since she insists on dressing herself.
I did not upload any room entries. But enjoy!!
