Property Challenge 2009

Simlish3 · 25-03-2009, 12:43 PM

Seeing as we have a few months until TS3 is out, I thought we should have another property challenge. If anyone is up for it of course.
Anyways, the challenge is to build an apartment/house for a newlywed couple.

It's that simple

CC is allowed.
All EPs and SPs allowed

Well have fun

Closing date, 2nd April

DolphinDriv3r · 25-03-2009, 06:44 PM

Oooh, great idea - I was just thinking we needed a property competition.
I might enter if I have time, though there'll be a lot of competition after seeing some of those lots in the Lots thread recently!

Simlish3 · 25-03-2009, 07:25 PM

I might change the closing date if people still need some time to make the house

pollyncuts · 25-03-2009, 09:50 PM

i cant make houses to save my life, but i look forward to seeing everyones entries ...

Perhaps Simlish, you should link this thread in your sig, to make sure people get to see it

DolphinDriv3r · 26-03-2009, 05:57 PM

Yeah, good idea.
And maybe post about it in the Lots thread or something like that, as unfortunately not many people tend to look at this part of the forum nowadays.

slakey0207 · 26-03-2009, 07:42 PM

Is there a set price range?
Can it be furnished or unfurnished?

kmce · 26-03-2009, 11:23 PM

i was just thinking today about doing a challange. I'm just new to building proper houses but i will give it a go

JohnnyDeppLuva · 27-03-2009, 02:40 PM

I think I shall have a go at this

Is there a limit to the amount of money I can use to build the house ?

DolphinDriv3r · 28-03-2009, 12:24 PM

Just checking, do we post the entries in this thread or send them to you?

slakey0207 · 28-03-2009, 04:58 PM

Simlish3?

slakey0207 · 29-03-2009, 12:35 PM

Well here's my entry:

Semi-Detached Home

83 Woodland Drive,
Pleasantview

1 Bedroom
1 Bathroom
Kitchen/Dining Room
Lounge
Study
Garage and driveway
Garden

Front of the house (left side only):

Lounge:

Kitchen/Dining Room:

Garden:

Bedroom:

Study Room:

Bathroom:

The house is for rent, so the objects will not be included for any sim/s that move in there, it's for showing purposes only.

DolphinDriv3r · 29-03-2009, 08:17 PM

Ok, here is my entry.

Sugar Cube

Living Area

Upper Hallway

Study

Main Bedroom

Guest Bedroom

Nursery (just in case!)

Garden

There are two toilet/bathrooms -don't worry i'm not that cruel, but I didn't think they were that interesting. And they're hard to get pictures of too, as they're not exactly the largest of spaces...

thesimling · 29-03-2009, 09:09 PM

Guess what - I have only two days, as I'm going away for April 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Best get started - my house is going to blow you away compared to my last attmept (terrible attempts, if I do say so myself)!

kmce · 30-03-2009, 08:57 PM

is there a certain amount of houses you an show

Chippeth · 30-03-2009, 09:00 PM

I've wanted to post houses on this board for ages, just never plucked up the courage.

But now I'm entering this contest with an Art Noveux themed house made especially for this challenge, though lookingback over the other two entries it's now really up to par. Still, it's nice to share.

So firstly, three outside shots:

As you can see, I wanted an odd shape. I don't think I pulled it off too well though - and it's a tad too small.

Now for the cluttered inside - How do people manage to get spacing so right?

Shot of eating area and half of a living room:

The other side:

Lounge and Chess area:

Study:

Chippeth · 30-03-2009, 09:01 PM

Continued

Bedroom:

Hehe, I forgot to take an image of the bathroom. It's black and pretty modern, contrasting with the rest of the house.

If you want a child in the house, you could convert part of th study, I suppose.

So, vote for me? Please?

An any critism is welcome - I want to impove my technique.

JohnnyDeppLuva · 30-03-2009, 09:22 PM

Okay so I'm guessing there's no money limit, I'll get cracking on the house then

Simlish3 · 30-03-2009, 10:38 PM

Nope no money limit

JohnnyDeppLuva · 31-03-2009, 12:09 AM

Okay I've finished my house and I'm very happy with it. I'll upload the pics tomorrow as I'm shattered and I'm away to bed now

thesimling · 31-03-2009, 07:19 AM

I'll finish the house today. IT will probably be a spacious house.

JohnnyDeppLuva · 31-03-2009, 10:41 AM

Okay Here's My House =]

The Outside:

The Small Garden:

The 1st Floor:

Floor plan:

Hall Part 1:

Hall Part 2:

And Finally The En-Suite bathroom:

Hope you like my house

slakey0207 · 31-03-2009, 03:16 PM

That's a nice house JohnnyDeppLuva, but it's too big for my liking, when I think of newlywed couple, I see not much money and a small house to start of with, but looks like you see it differently.

But not my place to say if it's too big or too little, that's upto Simlish3

kmce · 31-03-2009, 04:01 PM

how do you get the 2nd staircase, when i tried to put it on a foundation i would let me

thesimling · 31-03-2009, 04:56 PM

Woah, your house is totally awesome!
