It is a small beach shack, on a tiny private island surrounded by its own saltwater pool. The pool does not look as natural as a pond would have been, but I wanted to make it swimmable as well as add underwater decorations. The shack is rustic but has all the amenities one needs to survive. The lot traits are homey, geothermal, and a private dwelling. It is a perfect little spot for a fisherman or someone who desires privacy while they focus on writing their book. Unfortunately this home does not have three bedrooms and therefore doesn't meet the criteria for the challenge. I still wanted to share my build with you as I fell in love with the "secret room".

Her new home features: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, a lounge/library with a cozy reading nook, a little laundry room, a meditation room + the secret room (which will be revealed in the Slideshow). The yard areas are small but beautiful and there are also terraces/porches where Dalanda can enjoy the time outside and the beautiful views that are surrounding her new home. There's also a little greenhouse.
Now to the Story part - it became quite long, so I'll put it in a Spoiler:
A lot has happened to Dalanda in one month: she would never have imagined that she could fall in love so quickly and that everything would be so clear right from the start, but it's true: she has indeed found the love of her life! His name is George Bennett (his name might sound familiar? -Yes, he is the George Bennett from the BnS173). Dalanda and George met in a Library in Windenburg: George was a visiting lecturer at the Writers' Seminar and Dalanda was impressed by George's fascinating stories. After the seminar the two started talking and they were surprised by how much they had in common. They felt instant connection and like they would have known each other for a longer time. Dalanda told George that she was trying to find inspiration for her next book and the two - both being writers - understood each other perfectly, and they shared their experiences of writers' joys and struggles. Dalanda also told that she was in a need of a new home and that a new house would be built for her soon. George suggested that Dalanda could move temporarily to his house in Oasis Springs, where he was living together with his friends Andy and Kelly. Now there was an empty room available since Kelly had just moved to Del Sol Valley. Dalanda gladly accepted the invitation. She also actually knew Andy already: she had met Andy at Arts Center in San MyShuno, where she had attended Andy's art course.
Dalanda and George fell quickly in love. Now being inspired by her own love story, and since Dalanda and George are sharing the same favorite architectural style: Victorian (they both love the beautifully detailed and decorative style of Victorian houses), she wanted her new house to be a Victorian style manor, a home where they are planning to live together in a near future.
Dalanda is ready to move in to her lovely new home and she is excited to announce that she is working on her next book: a fictional love story about a sea captain who is shipwrecked on a deserted island due to a storm and who will do anything to get back to his beloved wife. The book will be named: "Truly Loved".

Ahh, that makes sense. And thank you, it’s great to be back. ☺️
Believe or not, word of your expertise in architecture has traveled all the way around the world, thanks to your awesome customers and their families! It has even reached to the North Pole! Well, to be fair, it isn't the first time you have done work in the North Pole. But this time it is a far different project you are doing.
You re-read the letter from Kris Kringle. He wants you to to come to the North Pole on weekends for several months to teach architectural design to his elves. The job starts in January and will continue for several months. Kris has determined that kids are tired of the same old doll houses and action figure lairs. He wants his elves to learn about different building design styles and floor plans so they can make new types of doll houses and action figure lairs. At the end, you will help judge their new creations and make suggestions for any needed improvements.
You are thrilled with this new opportunity to use your talents in a different way. But, as Kris reminds you, all of the North Pole housing has been built for decidedly smaller people. So he suggests that you build a house for your own use while you are up there. He has given you a 30x20 size lot on the edge of the Elf Village to build on as well as a $200,000 budget. The house has to be finished for you to use it come January.
The Brief:
-30x20 lot -cost is free!
-Budget is $200,000
-the house can be any style/colors you want.
-minimums: at least 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, a kitchen, a living area, and a laundry room since there is no laundry mat at the North Pole.
-don't forget to landscape. Take pictures in summer/optional pictures with snow on the ground.
The Room Challenge:
-create the kitchen for up to $35,000.
The Sim Challenge:
-Create your sim self. You can pick all traits, likes, dislikes, and other details. Show yourself enjoying your new home.
Remember to include the hashtag #bns180 with your build or it will not be judged! Entries are due by Sunday, 31st December 2023, 23:5:59 New York Time/EST.
What if I do not have the laundry pack (or seasons pack, although I think that was optional?) and cannot currently afford to buy any packs or kits? (Buckling down to pay off debt early, recently, living that adult life…)
All my daily trances, and all my nightly dreams, are where thy grey eye glances, and where thy footstep gleams.
I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.

ENTRY DETAILS: I've designed a Victorian house for Dalanda. Her new home features: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, a lounge/library with a cozy reading nook, a little laundry room, a meditation room + the secret room (which will be revealed in the Slideshow). The yard areas are small but beautiful and there are also terraces/porches where Dalanda can enjoy the time outside and the beautiful views that are surrounding her new home. There's also a little greenhouse.
Now to the Story part - it became quite long, so I'll put it in a Spoiler:
Dalanda and George fell quickly in love. Now being inspired by her own love story, and since Dalanda and George are sharing the same favorite architectural style: Victorian (they both love the beautifully detailed and decorative style of Victorian houses), she wanted her new house to be a Victorian style manor, a home where they are planning to live together in a near future.
Dalanda is ready to move in to her lovely new home and she is excited to announce that she is working on her next book: a fictional love story about a sea captain who is shipwrecked on a deserted island due to a storm and who will do anything to get back to his beloved wife. The book will be named: "Truly Loved".

ENTRY DETAILS: Squeaking in here at the last minute. Sorry for the lack of commentary this round; November ate me alive. ^^' Also just wanted to add that there is railing on the stairs leading to the secret room, but for some reason the game decided to make it invisible except for the end piece? Couldn't figure out why. And the "greenhouse" addition to the cottage is actually a Catio in my mind.

It's a weird game bug that only seems to happen with straight run stairs. Bend them and the rail reappears. Great to see you back!
Ahh, that makes sense. And thank you, it’s great to be back. ☺️
Believe or not, word of your expertise in architecture has traveled all the way around the world, thanks to your awesome customers and their families! It has even reached to the North Pole! Well, to be fair, it isn't the first time you have done work in the North Pole. But this time it is a far different project you are doing.
You re-read the letter from Kris Kringle. He wants you to to come to the North Pole on weekends for several months to teach architectural design to his elves. The job starts in January and will continue for several months. Kris has determined that kids are tired of the same old doll houses and action figure lairs. He wants his elves to learn about different building design styles and floor plans so they can make new types of doll houses and action figure lairs. At the end, you will help judge their new creations and make suggestions for any needed improvements.
You are thrilled with this new opportunity to use your talents in a different way. But, as Kris reminds you, all of the North Pole housing has been built for decidedly smaller people. So he suggests that you build a house for your own use while you are up there. He has given you a 30x20 size lot on the edge of the Elf Village to build on as well as a $200,000 budget. The house has to be finished for you to use it come January.
The Brief:
-30x20 lot -cost is free!
-Budget is $200,000
-the house can be any style/colors you want.
-minimums: at least 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, a kitchen, a living area, and a laundry room since there is no laundry mat at the North Pole.
-don't forget to landscape. Take pictures in summer/optional pictures with snow on the ground.
The Room Challenge:
-create the kitchen for up to $35,000.
The Sim Challenge:
-Create your sim self. You can pick all traits, likes, dislikes, and other details. Show yourself enjoying your new home.
Remember to include the hashtag #bns180 with your build or it will not be judged! Entries are due by Sunday, 31st December 2023, 23:5:59 New York Time/EST.
I dance to the beat of my own drum, no matter how measured or far away.
I do love a road. You can always be wondering what is at the end of it.
