Ha!  That's the sort of house that makes the neighbors cluck disapprovingly while everyone at the house is having fantastic fun.  Love it.
Neighbors? What neighbors? They'd all move away and then just come back to "play" here!

As always, I'm loving seeing all the different and awesome houses.  I'm making one this month too, although I still have a ways to go on the inside, and maybe will do some more with the outside.  I feel like it's fairly boring in comparison to most of this month's houses, but oh well.  Here's a pic of what I've got so far:

Nah, that's got a nice country cottage look. Nice fresh colour too. Will be good for my town outskirts.

Twooflower, I love it! I like countryish houses lots, and I'll defo nab this when it's done.
Jim, you are insane. What a crazy place!
Fayza, very cool, love the hedge maze.

Mine is done, but for some reason refuses to upload on Media Fire. If I can't get it to work, I might have to use the Sims2 site.
*EDIT* I figured it out, I just uploaded the package, it didn't like the RAR file.

@ twooflower - oh that is cute, can't wait to see the rest

@ SalixTree - will yoink when I get home.  I love your livingrooms, I can't ever get that cozy feel with mine.  I have a particular MATY personality in mind for this house with her 12 cats.

@ Vespinito - that roof is interesting, you don't have the "ZOMG there's weather in mah house!" complaints?  Love the master bedroom.  Like the hot tub room but doesn't the hot tub push through the ceiling below?  (Or have these things been fixed and I missed them?)

@ Batelle - late I know but I do like your house, a lot.  I like the r/w/b color scheme and the all-American style of the house itself.  Very nice.

@ Faizah - I suck at making cabins so thanks for this one.

@ jim - I have to figure out how to use that castle as a community lot!  Brilliant!


*witch - I'm a Bauhaus-aholic so modern is what I do most.  The game is conducive to that type of architecture.  I depend on everyone else's talent here to get the traditional styles.

Au contraire, twooflower. I think that looks like a nice, liveable house. I hope you upload the end result.

And SalixTree, that is a great result! I, too, want to move a batty sim in.

My living rooms are usually based on our own Irish sitting rooms, which are usually tiny little cramped spaces with a big fireplace, with hardly any room to move around in. And, they are very cosy too!

THANKS THIS IS GREAT

There have been so many entries - I'll have comments on entries past page two latter on today. Over all, I'm impressed!

Twoflower- It looks good so far, I like the porch and dormers. The lot reminds me of Anne of Green Gables.

Salix - You did an excellent job of making Maxis not look like boring old Maxis. Lots of clutter and nick-nacks to keep things interesting. Also, unrelated to the house, that workout gear is really something! Cheesy

Nepheris - The sunroom in front is a great touch, especially with the view. The landscaping is a little bare, other than the pond. Moar trees? Overall I like the color scheme, I find that a neutral color scheme is easy to personalize by family.

mistyk - Excellent gazebo. Overall the house is cute, I'd use it.

Minena - Awesome! The arches are a nice touch outside, as are the fountains in the courtyards. Good use of Maxian wooden floors and mixing of themes somewhat (AL "upper crust" wallpaper rather than stucco everywhere).

Capone - Good rustic home. Overall I think it looks great. The interior space could have been used a little better in some places, as rooms look very empty to me. Also, the deco seems very disjointed - is it a rustic cabin, a Moroccan home, or ... ?

Jorganza - Holy Roof! Amazing, great architecture.

kattenijin - I love the back BBQ area. This was downloaded and plopped in one of my hoods immediately. The gardens are great, and I appreciate the lack of furnishings. There may be too many trees on the lot for easy playing.

Faizah - The red and white apartment building is a lot of fun. Nice interpretation of the challenge. The gym/pool room is a nice touch - the vending machine in the corner is a little silly. Smiley

Silvain - nice use of spiral stairs. Overall the lot is a bit on the dark side, perfect for evil sims. I'm not a big fan of the landscaping on this one - it looks a little forced.

Emma - Again, very dark, but looks great and plays well in game with a few new paint choices. Good use of the Gearhead stuff.  Also loving the garden and heart-shaped pond.

Thanks. Clutter is difficult to do without the extra slot thingies, keeping it CC free.
As for the workout gear, you all can go ahead and make fun of it if you like.  Wink It's been ripped to shreds in the GOS forum already. hehe

So what happens if you make a house all cluttered with the slot packages and then someone who doesn't use the slot packages downloads them?

Here is my utterly lame entry for this month.

http://www.ireneks.de/upload/matychallenges/MATYJAN09.rar

Done with all SPs and EPs. There is a  'Custom' and a 'Clean' file in the rar.  The Custom version contains Numenor's Limo, Targa's Supafride, some custom plants and Squinge's autonomous minigolf thingy. It's also probably better you have all the store and story-stuff objects if you go for it. The Clean version should hopefully be official Sims 2 Eaxis crap only. You should get the lots for cheap (less than half than what they're worth ~ 50.000/70.000) because of the real estate market bubble I used Inge's StayThingsShrub for testing. The ground floor is a pool/party area and the first floor is the living area, suitable for DINKs or a rich old couple. I didn't feel like doing much with the garden.

Front:




Back:


Floorplans:




Pool/Party Floor




Bathroom with massage bench/Dining-Living-Area:

First time contributor here, though I've been stalking the 'House of Phail' threads for months now. 

It's pretty tame.  I went overboard with the M&G gardening stuff and am not 100% happy with the upstairs. 






Slideshow



I have all EPs and SPs.  This house was play tested by the Gavigan family (I have no clue what pack added them to the Sim Bin) and costs $108, 473.  I suspect it is not Awesomespec because I don't know what means.

 This is a good explanation of Awesomespec.

I was just thinking that having all the rooms opening off a big central hall was a good way to go about Awesomespecs, and one I've never tried. I'm glad you thought of it.

ChillyzGrrl, for someone who doesn't know Awesomespec, you did really well. All you are missing is the anti-wolf fencing and the second sitting room downstairs can easily be converted to the nursery.

I love the gazebo out front and the upstairs layout looks great. Very pretty house!

I particularly like the fact that you used solar panels on the actual roof of the house. From all the pictures I've seen, everyone seems to place them on flat surfaces.

I've been lurking here for a long time now and I promised I'd de-lurk if a friend posted her house.

First, I'd like to say that this month's entries are amazing so far!  I've yoinked the majority of them.

Second, ChillyzGrrl, you did a great job for your first time entry.  I'm proud of you for working up the courage to post it.  Maybe I'll work up the courage to try when I don't have so much on my plate.
