Modern House Competition

thesimling · 29-03-2009, 09:23 PM

A competition.
The storyline:
Alexander and Amelia (fictional sims) are now having a third baby. With a child and a teenager, and the need for a nursery they are moving out. But where to?
Alexander and Amelia's dreams were the same - they wanted to live in a modern, bright, spacious but yet normal, super-modern house!
If possible, use the things from FreeTime and below. The winner of this competition will give ME their house and I will post pictures of the family living in that house.
Basic rules:
FreeTime and under.
No CC (since you could end up giving it to me)
Please read description above, to see what type of house and how many rooms.
I WILL post a house to show you what I would post in the competition but my house will not be in the running!
Enjoy!
She has had twins... Re-edit your houses to fit in two cribs and enough space for two cyring babies!

Closing date, 12th April!

thesimling · 30-03-2009, 07:19 AM

Forgot some additional information.
It HAS to be under £100,000 - Amelia's Father died, so they inherited 75,678, and they had 25,004 already so 100,000 - they'll need money to pay the bills!
I will also be posting pics of them in their old home, just to show you who they are - might help you with building the ideal house.

JohnnyDeppLuva · 30-03-2009, 09:21 PM

What gender are Amelia's and Alex kids so I know what way to decorate their rooms.

P.s. She'll end up having twins

thesimling · 31-03-2009, 07:16 AM

There is a girl and a boy - I've forgotten their names. Please ask for any additional information today as I will be away starting form tommorrow for three days. Just to help you now, Amelia is quite a 'non-strict' Mum, and she doesn't wear lipstick or make-up. The girl, oh yeah, she's called Alexandra, is a make-up freak. In my next post I will show pictures of the old house.
And thank you for even asking me about it!

thesimling · 31-03-2009, 07:34 AM

Right then.

The family.

Liam showing the whole house!

Alexandra showing the living room!

Amelia showing the kitchen!

Alexander showing the master bedroom!

JohnnyDeppLuva · 31-03-2009, 09:58 AM

Thanks for the pics, I understand the family more now. I'll get started straight away

thesimling · 31-03-2009, 04:57 PM

Anytime - hope you have fun making the house. Remember, super-modern (and could you please get more poeple doing it, otherwise I'll have to enter!) !

JohnnyDeppLuva · 31-03-2009, 05:13 PM

I've put a message in my signature for you

If you enter..then you win...CAN'T HAPPEN

I'll spread the word to some good builders on here too

P.S. You have wrote Freetime and under...does that mean I can't use IKEA stuff pack? If not..

SimStars13 · 31-03-2009, 06:40 PM

I'll enter, though it will pobably turn out really badly

Chippeth · 31-03-2009, 10:05 PM

Hmmm...I'll enter. Just need to fish out some CC and Apartment Life objects...
Should be a nice change.

JohnnyDeppLuva · 31-03-2009, 10:50 PM

I have the house finished, But I don't think it's bright and modern enough inside so I'm gonna redecorate it

But i'm happy with the outside

~

And that's it, I hope you like my house and feel that it will suit your family

The House costs $99.995

thesimling · 01-04-2009, 06:46 AM

Thanks Johnny Depp Luva, but the problem is - I don't actually have any stuff packs, or anything above FreeTime and since I'm going to get it. That's why...
So please edit it, so that it meets the requirments. Still, fabulous house! You listened to EVERY little detail I specified and made a grand house - better yet, Alexandra and Liam have their own rooms! After the competitions closed I'll play the family, get them to have a baby, then ask to download the house. Then I'll move them into the house.
Thanks everyone else for entering, I hope we'll see some different 'ideas' of modern.
P.S This is my last post, I will be back on in 2 days time. So have fun, I will comment on all your houses afterwards!

JohnnyDeppLuva · 01-04-2009, 10:13 AM

Oh Sorry I thought you meant you have every EP and SP under Freetime. It's really hard to remember which items came with each EP &SP but I'll fix it using the collections folders.

P.s. That means Alexandra's whole room will be deleted

And the parents room will need new furniture.
I have already noticed that I'll need to change the stairs.
Oh shoot just remembered that the playground equipment came with AL...sugar !

So you have: UNI, NL, OFB, PETS, SEASONS, BV, and FT ?
Is Liam's room Okay because I'm sure that came with an EP not a SP ?

Okay I'll fix it later as I have to go to college soon

Anthony · 01-04-2009, 10:15 AM

Wow, Johnny. That house is beautiful, I hope you win.

Aww thanks Anthony

Chippeth · 01-04-2009, 04:40 PM

Well that house just raised the standard...Well done!
Good luck on redecorating!

slakey0207 · 01-04-2009, 09:16 PM

Don't you mean that has set the standards, since there has been no other entries as of yet?

Chippeth · 01-04-2009, 09:49 PM

...Yeah...

Silly me!

JohnnyDeppLuva · 02-04-2009, 03:59 PM

Okay I have Redecorated and I'm sure now that all items, paint and flooring will be compatible with your game.

I have deleted the old images and put the new ones in there place ^^^^

Just in case I haven't took something out and replaced it..just tell me and I will .x.

JohnnyDeppLuva · 02-04-2009, 11:49 PM

Wow Chippeth all of that for under 100k ?

P.s. Why have you put 2 beds in each of the kids rooms ?

Chippeth · 03-04-2009, 02:30 PM

Thanks! It's just above £95000.

And I have two beds in each bedroom for sleepovers and when the baby grows into a cild, and needs to share a room.
