THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Blimey, another whole evening just furnishing it.

6 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms. §94,167. Emma told me how to make the simolean sign but I've forgotten. I've waved the magic wand - it depreciated down from §171,000. (Cheers Emma)

I have all EPs but not all stuff packs.

It's not far off awesome spec, replace the kitchen arch entrance with a door and remove the bottom set of outside stairs and Bob's your uncle.

Sorry in advance to people with dialup, I took lots of pics. I love looking at others' pics so I assume other builders get into that too.  Grin

My apologies, Joe has just pointed out that I had a couple of hitch-hikers in the lot file; the phone line controller and a wallpaper. The lot file is now clean and contains a lot segment only. Please re-download if you d/l the file before this date.

I forgot the phone line controller likes to join in the fun, I usually work in a clean test hood but was too lazy this time.

Both of the above files have been updated.

Witch, that is really nice. I love the bold roof color... I shy away from the bright roof tiles, but love it when other people use them. I wonder why that is?

It's not the most impressive, but it's small, simple and you can't really *lose* a sim in it.

Three things I love in a sim house! I second BastDawn's request - share, please! I would like a complete collection for my subhood. Smiley

Thanks so much, witch! The family I have living in that house right now would be doing back flips if only they knew!

I do that too, Roux. It never seems to look right when I do it but I never feel the need to change them when someone else does. Weird. Weird. (but that's just me  Grin)
Bastdawn, the request has just been thirded. I'd also love to have a complete collection and yours is a must-have as well!

There must be something I don't get about stairs. How do you do "stone railings"? Is it the result of a lot of "floor elevation" changing the walls, or am I missing something obvious?

Well, I have it, but haven't had the chance to play with it.

Thus explains my problem. Thanks, rohina. (I'm suddenly reminded of my asking what snapdragons were shortly before Pets came out.)  Embarrassed

It never seizes to amaze me how different a house can be with just a little effort and a creative mind. You have all done a great job. I can't wait for the next round!  Smiley

@Witch: The terrace looks great!

@Yecats: I never thought of placing the kitchen counter like that. Very nice touch!

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

Here is my take on the house
Cost: §87,497
3 Floors
3 Bedrooms, 3 Bath plus a nursery, a rec room & an attached greenhouse.
Edited to add: I have all the Eps (Nightlife, Uni, Pets, OFB, Seasons, BV, FT) so far plus the Holiday Stuff pack (I do not think I used any of the stuff pack though).

Kitchen/Dining area

1st Floor Includes a rather large living room area for entertaining in. (Also has a side room for stairs with a door so you can lock out guests)

2nd Floor Bedrooms and the nursery the 2nd Floor also has two balconies.

3rd Floor The Rec room and a larger balcony with a telescope.

And finally the house shot

There, I've just downloaded the whole raft of 190s.  I will now proceed directly to the part where I'm incredibly annoyed that I will likely now have to get zOMGPetz in order to make them work in game.

Well done! *snatch*

May I also suggest using some of the Veronaville houses in future challenge? Some are more challenging than others for building. They're all seriously depressing from a decorating standpoint, though. Just from what we're seeing here, there are more than enough awesome builders in this forum to fix them! Just a thought.

Wow!  I wasn't expecting the demand.

I won't be home for a day or so, so I'll post up my house when I get home. 
I might even do a CC version and a more elaborate version, just to make the pool work a little better and theme the lighting.


Would it be OK to include CC if I give credit where credit is due?  Most of my stuff is from free sites.

So be expecting at least another 2 190's from me within the next week!

Surprise! You've got it!  Grin Obsession has overtaken me, methinks. I have two more of my own done.

Strangel, I'd forgotten completely about Rapidshare! My apologies to you for taking so long.

My second upload (furnished version) can be found here:
http://rapidshare.de/files/39782496/190_Sim_Lane_Cim_v2_2.Sims2Pack.html

There might be a painting or two missing or the odd thing somewhat misplaced. I worked back and forth from my pictures to try getting everything back into the house.

Aww, zOMGPetz isn't so bad.  The little kitties and puppies are so cute!  XD

OK. Might wanna put your sunnies on before you view this one, I went a bit mad with colour. It does meet the competition criteria however, even including the ghastly chimney. I'm pretty sure it also meets awesome spec.

Worth §99.347. Three bedrooms, six bathrooms. I have all EPs up to Freetime. There's a room at the top currently filled with exercise machines, that could easily be a fourth bedroom. The garage can come back further and there is plenty of room outside.

I followed someone else's idea about colouring the exterior walls a bright colour, so as not to inadvertently delete them. It worked so well, I loved the colour red on the house so much I incorporated it into the design. Then I went mad on colour. I used all the furniture and wallpaper I usually avoid as too loud. Normally I stick to muted earthy sort of tones but this lot is a real experiment for me.

I hope you like it.  Cheesy

No, no, you're damn right I don't want to end up like Emma!

This is the original
we're making over.

You mean I get a choice? Choice! The red one is the one that is awesome spec with no mods. That would be fine. Easy to pick by sight from hood view also.

I like giving people choices. It makes that much funnier when things then go wrong. That's sort of the entire principle behind evil genies.
