Yes photo, you can use CC. And considering we only have a few contestants, I think Katt will probably be extending the applications.

CisteCaise - Application

History
Herbert Delapore, the retired captain of the commercial whaling ship Polaris, built this house for his beloved wife Asenath and their two daughters Josanna & Lavinia in 1872 outside of the town of Innsmouth, Massachusetts. The Delapores were a family of whalers and fishermen, until Herbert retired upon the birth of his second daughter Lavinia, who was a sickly child.

Herbert's father, also a whaling ship captain, fashioned a model ship out of scrimshaw for his son; this precious trinket has been passed down through the family for generations. Herbert proudly displayed the ship on his desk.

This looks like a great contest, but I see that applications end today? Is there any chance you will extend them as I would like to join.

Actually, considering that out of 5 apps, one has already dropped out, and two would be disqualified if they aren't fixed in time, that would only be three apps if photo enters, and two if she dosen't; I'm going to close the contest rather than extend apps as I just don't feel there is enough interest.

Round One: 1900-Electricity!

Lights! Camera! Action!...Well, ok, Lights!

I'm pushing this a bit here, as most electric items were only for the rich in the early 1900's, but I wanted the Great Depression to be its own story. So, that noted, lights, a radio, percolator, etc. are ok; things like dishwashers, televisions, trash compactors, not ok. Refrigerators/stoves? Well, how rich is your sim family? They ran about $900 in those days, more than some cars! (Remember to check if an item has been invented yet!)

You may use the following additions to the 7x7 main house:

1) a 7x3 addition on the first/ground floor .
2) a 5x3 addition on the first/ground floor .
3) up to 3x5 porch, which may be attached/added to original, but may be seperate too.

oops!!!! I made a mistake!!! is part of Round 3 not round one!!! Darn notes! I repeat: You do NOT need to do this for this round!

The 5x3 addition and the 7x3 addition may not touch, and must be made to the 7x7 house. In other words, you can't have the 5x3 added to the 7x3 or vice versa.

You may add/change outbuildings as necessary.

You may add one indoor bathroom.

You may also change the size/locale(not location!) of the lot. Did your family sell off some land or split it between inheritances; or were they prosperous and managed to aquire more? Are you still out in the rural areas, or has urban sprawl reached you?

The home should also be passed on to the "next generation". Even though mom and dad aren't old exactly, they "ain't as spry as I used to be".

Picture requirements for each round: 1)1 Overview of Exterior (entire lot) 2)2 Aerials, one of each floor, Interior (3 aerials if using basement, round 3 or later) 3)Up to 3 Photos, which can be collages; featuring interior, exterior and any other outbuildings or lot features; one of which should have the "heirloom"; for a total of up to 6, 7 after round 3 if using basement.

Hamish MacKilligan parents emigrated to America during the Highland Potato Famine. Now that they have retired and moved closer to the town, their small farmhouse has passed to Hamish and his wife, Irene. They also gifted them the family heirloom, a Welsh dresser, which is the only possession left from their time in Scotland. The small croft produces fruit and vegetables, and there is a well on site. Cooking is done over the fire in the kitchen and there are fireplaces in all the main rooms to provide warmth in winter.

Quick question, are we allowed to expand in the area around the stoop? If so, does the stoop also get moved outward?

Overview:


Albert Bryson built this house with his own two hands and two nails, or so he always said. He did build this house and along with his wife, Dolores, he farms it as well. The land was given to them as a wedding gift from his father. As well traveled as they are rich in resources, Albert and Dolores postponed their honeymoon till after they were finished with their home, so their yearlong trip to Europe and the Far East was all the more exciting as she got to pick out furniture and such from all the greatest makers in the world. Their most prized possession is from just this trip a sake set from Japan, where they spent three months. The sake set is displayed proudly in Albert's study. They welcomed their first child, Lily, two months after their return.
