@seaben That house is so fairy-like, and I really love the landscaping that you've put around it too. The trees in particular are so effective! @ADWilson I like the names! Especially CeCe le Ben Love the house too - very calm and restful and elegant.

What a wonderful Renovacy challenge @SamelaRita
It will be fun seeing what others do with it and finding out what happens when I play it. I know what I will be doing as soon as the event is over, lol
addy YOU were my buddy i would have never guessed i love all my gifts so much i mean theirs's just so much thought in every one of them their all just absolutely amazing this is the best gift i could have ever asked for thank you from the bottom of my heart
Surprise! hee hee hee
I honestly thought you might have a clue when your Buddy had new questions for you to answer.
Knowing you love these makes my heart happy! Wishing you joy and fun while you play, dear friend.
@BreeMiles
You were my buddy, I have 2 gifts for you, a house and a family.
It was really challenging for me to build without store items, as I am used
to using things like the tea table.But this house and family have no store items
and only a selected few expansions.Its on a 30x30 so I kept it smaller, so it
wouldn't give issues(hope your computer is running better for ya )
99 Landgraab Lane, built on 99 Langraab Lane in Sunset valley

a dog and a cat.

@GraceyManor That's a gorgeous house! I particularly love the dark blue in the sitting room. And the pets are great - that's two dalmations so far in this gift exchange. I really like the back garden as well (I guess you'd say yard) with all the pet stuff and the children's play stuff. It looks really homely and friendly.
The house is charming! Love the colors you picked and use of wood throughout. The family suit it perfectly ... how funny that we both added a dalmation to gifts. Great minds think alike, lol
My dear @seaben thank you ever sooo much for such a wonderful gift!!! The gorgeous fairy house and beautiful family will fit perfectly into my game in 'Supernatural Island' and I can hardly wait to start paying with them
@ADWilson I love Seaben Circle it is beautiful and the perfect home for Cece, she is adorable! Cody and Sparky are also very good looking Sims! Simply awesome! @seaben I love the fairy house you created for Hidehi! It will look perfect in Supernatural Island! Simply amazing, I love the artistry! @SamelaRita The build is gorgeous, definitely worth restoring to its former glory! Fantastic back story! Joe, Stan, Archie and Abi Harper do have a lot of work ahead of them! Beautiful family of Sims! Love the back stories for each member! @GraceyManor I love the house you created! It's lovely and so cozy, the family and pets in the pictures are so cute!!
I will be revealing my buddy and gift in a moment.. Happy Simming and happy gifting everyone!!!
@Kesminlix You were my buddy! You said you loved farmhouses with porches so I made a nice old New England farmhouse with a porch, farming space, cows, and a shed for your horse! I based it quite a bit on Massachusetts farmhouses from the 19th century but I did give it a Rhode Island-y stone wall/fence because they are really cute. Inspiration:
Anyway, here's your house. Built in 1830. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a small study/art room. Mostly original fixtures but a few updates through the years. The kitchen is slightly out of date but ready to be improved and updated. One side of the house was replaced in the 1980s with beautiful tall windows to let in lots of light. There's space for one horse and a crafting area under the horse shed (you've got to keep all manner of dangerous endeavors away from the old, very flammable house!). There's a large farming area, ready for all new crops, and a bee box. Cows as well! There's a parking pad for one car in the front and a small barbeque/picnic area.
I might have been playing a bit too much Stardew Valley, but the family I made is a (ghost) grandpa, two grandkids, a horse, and a cat. Grandpa left this farmhouse to his two city-living grandkids, who were just starting out in the big city of Bridgeport. I had a bit of a time getting them to stand for a picture, and Grandpa immediately started doing laundry and farm chores. It looks like Grandpa is going to stay around and help them get settled on the farm. The Sharpe family!
I also made a community lot (which I struggled a bit with, but I think it came out okay!). You said you loved Xmas so I made a winter lot, inspired somewhat by the Sims 1 vacation destinations, but also just a fun holiday themed park. There's an ice rink and snowball fight area, a winter food stand, and inside, a little theater, a cozy spot for gatherings and feast parties, and a toy making station. It doesn't change with the seasons, as I just could not make that work.
@Charlottekn I love the holiday place - it reminds me of places we saw in Austria when we were there (back in the olden days, when you could go away on holiday). And the farmhouse is lovely too: I've got an Advent calendar up at the moment which is little houses in that style that you put on the base, one each day. It was funny seeing a summer version of the house.
I have had a few trials and tribulations creating your gifts my dear Buddy ... but keeping fingers crossed it all came together in the end.
Your Buddy letter indicated that you like to play in 'Storybrook County'. I decided to download this lovely world and I must admit it has been a fun experience. I think by now you have guessed that you
So without further ado here is Gift No 1:
'Ravenhurst' is a one bedroom, 1 bathroom pretty thatched English cottage with open plan kitchen/lounge. Ideal for a single sim or couple who love the countryside and gardening. Built at 11 Raven Bend Storybrook County.
A house without a sim is no home so here is Gift No 2:
Meet Rose Bush she loves nothing more than to spend most of her time in the Great Outdoors tending a plot of land full of delicious perfect fruit and veg. Will Rose be able to earn a living pursuing her passion and will she have the time to find that special someone to share her dream with?
Charlottekn I hope you will be able to return tomorrow to unwrap another gift
PS.: I've had the same problem as Addy with store content not always showing the correct icon . Please let me know if there is anything amiss and I will try and sort it 🤗
PS 2: Thanks to Addy I've now corrected the wrong download link for Rose.
@Hidehi Wow, that is a gorgeous house (and sim!). Thank you! I especially love the roof, because that's always a struggle for me. And England-y houses are always so cute with the thatched roofs. And of course, all the purple. Rose looks like a potential wife for my current game, too!
You're all so good at pictures! I even tried a mod to take pictures and it just was not working. I'll get there. I'm kind of boring and stick to a few worlds, but these houses make me want to try some new (and old) worlds.
@GraceyManor 99 Langraab Lane has this classic Tv house feel to it that I really like.
@SamelaRita The renovacy story made me tear up and though I rarely play challenges these days, this one is compelling.
@ADWilson I love this house. It's very spacious and luxurious and I love the glamorous entry way.
@seaben The fairy house is so magical looking! I especially love the landscaping and the trees!
My gift for you dear buddy is something that I hope you enjoy when you have adventures in Lunar Lakes, I have had a lot of fun exploring this beautiful world! I was then inspired to built for you a home to go with Lunar Lakes.. It is futuristic and very useful! Here are some screen shots of The Lunar Lakes Dream House..
I also created a small household for you to enjoy.. The members of this household are Amy and Meteor Moonbeam..
Amy's story: Amy was born in Sunset Valley and like all human Sims, she had a normal skin tone and hair, but when she was a teenager, she decided to volunteer to go on a mission to Lunar Lakes with a group of classmates.. However, as a protective measure Amy and her classmates had to drink a formula that would keep them from contracting any viruses from these new surroundings.. The other classmates were not affected, but Amy had an interesting reaction, she her skin and hair turned into different colors and has stayed that way ever since.. As a result of not fitting in with her current world, when Amy graduated from high school, she chose to move to Lunar Lakes permanently..
Since she is Avant Garde and rather adventurous, this new world suited Amy perfectly!!
Meteor's story: Meteor was created in a lab, the objected was to create a faster race horse, yet the experiment took a surprising twist, Meteor's coat was not exactly the colors you find on a horse.. Meteor was unique, yet this did not affect Meteor's speed.. Despite having an exceptional racing ability, the racing commission wanted more conventional looking horses.. As a result the lab put out an ad, and it was answered by Amy, who is also an animal lover and she chose to purchase Meteor..
