My Story :

She walks in with her 3 sons. This sarcastic family is your next project. Upon talking with them, you find the parker family has lived in Sunset Valley for 77 years. After all this time in the same house, they’ve decided it is time for a fresh start. That’s where you come in.

"4 months ago," she begins, "my sons told me it was time for a curious house. I told them I wouldn’t move in 97 million years! Nope, not me!” She laughs, “I recently had a bit of luck and came across 37 thousand simoleons. So of course, here we are!"

“The house we had was 5 bedrooms. This time, we’d like 3. That should be a challenge for you. We want to make sure the bedrooms can accommodate the family comfortably. The boys are within 5 years of one another, so please keep that in mind as far as decor and needs. My favorite color is blue. The boys vary. I’ll let you figure out what works. I’d really love a desirable red kitchen, and the boys talked about really wanting a cool kitchen. We have kind of a weird request. We’d also like exactly 6 green dustbins. We’ll probably make 99 thousand more simoleons on the old place, so you can add that to my winnings for the smashing total budget [of 136,000].”

You can tell she is wrapping up as she running from her chair. "You are such pedantic person to work with," she says. "I hope you have a small day!"

Curiosity Grange

(a quick note, on my first export, where most of the screenshots were taken, I forgot the dustbins requirement. After taking all of the shots, I deleted the house, placed a copy, added the dustbins, and took extra pics of where they are placed in the house before re-exporting the house to upload)

"Desirable"(Heart motifs) "Red"(probably over did it here ;) ) Kitchen. "Cool"ness supplied by gadgets (Dishwasher, Trashcompacter, Microwave, Coffee machine)
