 Modern breeze by armiel

I've retired. But I'm still a pro at lurking.

Here is my entry to the challenge. I called it Modern breeze   The house is very modern looking, calm shades of blue with black and white. Landscaping follows the modern line. Big flowerbeds give it warmth and more color. Low white fences keep everything nice and clean.  The back of the house has a patio with bbq, resting and a pool. The clean lines are followed on this side too, keeping the look united.   I tried to keep the floorplan very open. There is a small kitchen corner...  ...Cosy livingroom...  ... A bedroom for 2...   ... and a bathroom... (no picture of that one, sorry :P) I used absolutely no CC or store content. The house is base game compatible and I might upload it little later on. Build time little under 2 hours :P I am not really any story teller, so I hope you got enough info in this little post. EDIT: I changed the collage picture to that other picture of the bedroom, cause of the no collage pictures rule posted (clarified) later on this thread. |

I must say I really enjoyed this. It's definitely different having to completely come up with a floor plan cause I generally follow house plans when I build. Here's my entry. Opted to just do a one level so it's a nice cozy little 2 bedroom house. I followed the same general color scheme throughout. Nice bright happy colors. The kitchen and living room are open to each other so it's small but doesn't seem as cramped. We have a master bathroom open off the master bedroom. A small laundry room. And there's one other bathroom as well. Along with a study at the front of the foundation that is separate from the house. A little home office so to speak. And out back we have a pool with a little flower bed right against the house. No CC was used. It was all base game and expansion items along with the Ultra Lounge kitchen items from the store. So all official.         |

These houses all look great. <3 Good job everyone. Is there any chance of something like this happening for those of us still in medieval times (read: those of us who are playing TS2)?  The ten CC maximum might hurt me, but I'd still be willing to give a shot.

@ DM: HP said it may come to light after this is over, pending a staff member who still runs Sims 2 being willing to host - she put the full notice/explanation in the Site News thread for the contest. I'm still working on mine - first time I've even TOUCHED the Build/Buy mode in Sims 3 (and I've only delved into Live Mode a half-dozen times, so I'm pretty basic on the game), and those finicky little UCP controls for the camera are driving me NUTS (plus I'm not a huge fan of CASt), so it's slow-going. I'm going to try and work on it after my shift finishes tonight and then hopefully be done for pic uploading tomorrow! |

After a bit of experimentation in my game, I discovered that where you place the lot seems to affect the orientation of it. If it's adjacent to an east/west street it seems to spin. I don't know about North/South streets, because I'm using Build Town from Bog Sims to build in and it's full of corners. The lot doesn't fit on the lots that are only adjacent to North/south streets. |

Round One Entry: Contemporary Suburbia As the name vaguely suggests, Contemporary Suburbia is a spacious and modern family home. The interior is decorated with fresh and vibrant colours and designs befitting a young progressive couple or family. Upon entering this property you will find yourself in a spacious entrance hall off which is the kitchen/diner and family living area. From the entrance hall you will also find the solid pine spiral staircase which is at the very heart of this home. It transports you up to the family sleeping quarters past the balcony opening onto the family living area below. To the rear of the house there is a summer BBQ/party area and contemporary pool adorned on three sides with luscious flora. At the front of the house is the perfect spot to sit in quiet contemplation between the fountain and the decorative pond. First Floor: Entrance Hall Kitchen/Diner Utility Room Living Area W.C. Second floor: Master bedroom with balcony and adjoining family bathroom Nursery Outdoors: 2 car driveway Pool BBQ Area with seating Pond Whilst various store and buydebug items were used, no CC was used on this Lot. Street View  Floor Plans  Living Room  Kitchen  Bedroom  Bonus #1  Bonus #2  Bonus #3  |

I really want to participate to this contest. But I'm very slow in creating the lot and uploading so I think I'm going to wait for round 2.

Entries added up until this point - please let me know if I missed someone! missroxor - Yes, you may use buydebug items. Anyone else who has already posted an entry: - Please make sure you indicate whether or not you used CC, and if so, how much/which items, please. I think a couple of the initial entries left out that info. And now, I'm going to bed! So excited about the entries thus far and can't wait to see what'll be waiting for me to look at when I get up! You guys rule.

Your house looks fantastic, but is that the front? It doesn't look the way the front should for the foundation or maybe I'm just blind and the dark doesn't help. |
