    ENTRY DETAILS: This beautiful plot is one of my favorites, it is close to the sea, it provides a lot of outdoor activities and is also big enough for a multi-bedroom house. Two bedrooms on the first floor can be accessed from the entrance hall via a small hallway. Here is the main bedroom for grandparents and the two smallest's common bedroom next to each other. I wanted these two rooms downstairs so that grandparents and little ones wouldn’t have to climb a lot of stairs and be close to each other. Both have their own bathroom. There are 3 more bedrooms on the second floor, the two oldest children have their own rooms with private bathrooms. The home have many terraces, a hobby/playingroom for the children on the third floor, and lots of play option at the backyard. All home decorated for Winterfest.

    ENTRY DETAILS: This three story home has it all for the DeWinters to enjoy. Lush yard with gazebo for Neva's garden. Space for swingset and bicycles plus toddler pool and jacuzzi. Outdoor kitchen, picnic tables and lounging area perfect for entertaining friends. The inside has a natural aesthetic and I used a multicultural family picture as inspiration. The children's level on the second floor transfers them into another world--meadow for toddler room, forest for children then onto fantasyland and space in the playroom and finally into the jungle and ocean in their bathroom. The teens have the topfloor with large screen tv, snack area and their own rooms that fit their tastes.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I have built a rustic country home with an industrial flair to the interior of the home for the DeWinter Family. The main living space is open concept with a large kitchen and dining room that can hold up to 8 people. The master suite is also found on the main level of the home. The second level is a private space made especially for the teenagers. It also has a study that Thor can escape to, if he finds the house too "people-y". The walk out basement is where all the activity is. There is a family room with plenty of activities for the whole family to enjoy. A laundry room and three more bedrooms. Each children's bedroom is uniquely designed to fit each child's interests. There is a bathroom for the toddler's to share and another for the children to share. The yard has a hydro garden for Neva, a playground, gazebo, hot tub, fire pit, and an ice rink for the family to enjoy as well. I have given the lot the homey, good schools, and child's play traits.

    ENTRY DETAILS: I built a contemporary home with furnishing hopefully, to suit everyone's tastes. I have left the 1st-floor landing walls bare so that they can start placing their own photos there and create new memories. I have not placed Christmas decorations, cause I don't do it in RL, but I did take two picks of it decorated for Christmas.

    CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes (please note that when placing this build the front stairs disappears, not sure why this happens but I have tested it numerous times and it happens every time.)

    ENTRY DETAILS: I created a suburban home with plenty of room for the kids to grow. With indoor and outdoor spaces for year-round play, the kids will always be able to find a way to get their energy out. Their current rooms reflect their interests, but the neutral walls and floors allow for any room to be 'matured' at any time.

    ENTRY DETAILS:
    Thor collects holiday cracker prizes. Two are displayed in the kitchen, and two unopened holiday crackers are on the mantle. Neva loves to play video games on the computer and she’s hoping that Father Winter will bring her a new console for Winterfest so she can play with her grandchildren (she already has a big TV and game controllers, her outdoor garden is great because she loves the outdoors, and plenty of toys and activities for her grandchildren are strewn around the house, inside and out. Teen, Mazim requested squash soup for Winterfest dinner because he’s a vegetarian. As the other teen, Gale is a perfectionist, especially when it comes to makeup, which is kept on her dresser. However, the family just found out that Mazim is allergic to dogs, but not to cats, so for Winterfest, a cat will be joining the family, and when Gale wants to pet/play with a dog, she can walk over to nearby Pupperstone Park in Brindleton bay (there’s a new shower going in there right after Winterfest so she can get all the allergens off her skin/clothes and she can bring a new set of clothes in her backpack.) A genius child, Ramiel loves to play chess with his grandparents. His sister Elysia, also a child, loves to play on the monkey bars or read, so her grandparents were sure to include monkey bars and plenty of books for her. The toddlers, Storm and Rain, are silly and clingy, but both love their rooms, their tablet and their toys. In addition, there are 2 bathrooms outside., but three are full baths inside the house.

    More backstory according to me: Thor's cousin Loki and his wife Valkeria had made their living running a small, friendly and very clean private motel. The small motel had sort of run its course as a viable business and Valkeria wanted to retire but who would buy the property? It was decided that Thor's family and Loki's family would trade properties. Thor and Neva now have plenty of space for the their grandchildren and everyone's interests.

    Winter Designer Showdown
    Sims 4 | #BnS157



    You are working on a fairly involved design. An IM from Karl pops up: Two really sweet young people were walking by and are wondering if you would see them? You type back: Sure, bring them in.
    Dylan and Sally sit opposite you; they express their appreciation to you for seeing them.
    “Of course, so how can I help?”
    Dylan explains: “Sally and I have $22000 for a lot and house. We are kind of crafty/artistic gardeners and would like to be able to generate an income from home.”
    “What style or location do you have in mind?”
    Sally looks a bit worried but she adds-in an important detail: “My parents are going to a container auction in a couple days, they are gifting us a container of furnishings. We want where we live and the style of our house to work well with the free items. Also, if possible, we would like to re-purpose the empty container as a means of earning an income.”
    “So, you don’t know what they will pick for you?”
    Sally shrugs: “No idea”
    “No problem! We can choose a lot, get your container delivered and build a house to suit your needs. It will be ready for you in about a month,”
    Dylan is so happy. He jumps up, shakes your hand and says: “Thank you! This is going to be great.”

    Build Challenge
    Place the 40x30 lot Container Yard and choose a container on behalf of Sally’s parents, Save this container as a room to your gallery.
    Purchase a lot and place your container. You can place your container on the ground, on dunnage or on a low foundation or platform. You can add a roof, windows, door, stairs if needed to access the door and re-paint the container if you like. Sally’s parents are paying to get your container situated. Your container must be free standing. It cannot share walls with your house. Your container is a space for Dylan and Sally to generate income. Some examples could be: a greenhouse, a massage studio, a painting or photo studio, or a woodworking space.
    You now have 22000 minus the lot cost to build a functional home and equip your container. Please try to use the furnishings provided. You can recolour them if you like. If you need to sell one two or three of the items Sally’s parents won’t be offended. You are free to purchase whatever else you need for your home.
    Sally and Dylan can be a young couple or twin siblings, you choose. If they are siblings each will need their own bedroom. If they are a couple, they will share a room. Your home needs a bathroom, a place to prepare and enjoy meals and space to relax and entertain. Sally and Dylan like gardening, they need a space for gardening.

    Room Challenge
    Choose one of the empty containers and create a space for Dylan and Sally to earn an income. Budget $2000.

    Sim Challenge
    Create Dylan and Sally. Tell us about their arts/crafting interests and show us their outfits.

    Note: Lot link is coming, thanks to @JojoMOMSTER for creating it.


    Remember to include the entirely of the hashtag #bns157 or your entries will not be judged! The deadline for this challenge is Monday, January 31st, no later than 23:59:59 EST/New York time.

    Hi! Here is the the link for Container Yard. It can also be found with the hashtag #BnS157 I hope you can find something here to suit your build.
  • xXQueenBeeXxxXQueenBeeXx Posts: 32 Member
    Hi! Does the container and its contents count towards the cost of the build? Just wondering since it's considered gifted to them in the briefing.
  • BuildnShareBuildnShare Posts: 4,061 Member

    Good question. I'm going to say no, you have the contents of the container plus $22,000.
    GArBA5W.jpg
  • JojoMOMSTERJojoMOMSTER Posts: 1,957 Member
    You have the contents and the container itself situated before 22000.
