Build n Share 60-61 : SimLibs


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)


Entrance Hall

TV Room 

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

Study

Bathroom 1 (between tv room and kitchen)

Master Bedroom

Bathroom 2

Caustics' Room (Teen)
Fedup with his mothers saturation of blue everywhere, Caustic has taken to painting his furinture black, his own favourite colour.
 

Wit and Ironys' Room
(Caustic is a firm fan of Detention Hall, but daren't admit it now he's a teen, so he gave the pic to the twins and often comes to admire it)

Garden

You can tell by the expression on her face that Sarcasm loves the way her boys leave dirty plates lying around.

TV Time

Thanks for looking,

Build n Share 59 : Love Shack


Love Shack

Recurve Strand, SV

(Budget Build, 30k Max)


Tucked away in Sunset Valley you can find the ideal Honeymoon destination at the Love Shack. Comprising 1 bed, 1 bath and plenty of Sun, Sea and Sand. Sunbathing behind the dunes, a quick dip in the pool, and a firepit for cooking fish fresh out of the sea. A love seat inside also allows the newlyweds to curl up in front of a romantic film. The Restaurants and Bars in town are just a short taxi ride away, leaving all the clearing up to someone else whilst they head back to paradise for the night.

The old watchtower at the top of Sunset Valley has been restored and converted into a 1bed, 1bath cottage with stunning views.

Retaining the structure of the original 2 story watchtower, the cottage has been constructed on a single level around the base and comprises open plan living/kitchen/diner space which opens out onto a terrace. The terrace leads to a brick pathway and patio on which you will find a barbeque, picnic table and sun loungers - carefully positioned to make the most of the views over the bay and out to the lighthouse. The interior has been decorated in a coffee and cream theme, keeping the interior tones neutral to contrast with the riot of colour in the garden borders.

The cottage was built for Iosaira Rifter, who is available as a separate download.

Utilises goods and objects from the base game, World Adventures and Ambitions expansion packs, the sims3 store and the High End Loft Stuff stuff pack. No custom objects, but one custom pattern  has been used for the brick walk ways and patio, fencing and the pool surround. This pattern is a 4 colour (3 brick, 1 mortar) masonary layout of a brick pattern.
 

 
Thanks for looking, hope to see you in TSS Town!
Ios.
