Username: sharonxyz
Preferred builder* (if none, leave blank): Klorelei

Type of build (Modern, Traditional, Victorian, Gothic, etc. or leave blank): Leaning towards a cottage type lot in the feel of Spellbound Cottage but with the Supernatural lovelies of Pendle Witch cottage included. Charming early american interiors that you are so wonderful at conveying. Aspects of Spellbound that I would love: 'swimmable pond', with a slightly larger swimming area, as pool parties are in such demand with Seasons. My witches I love dearly, and they cannot resist strays (especially elder ones, the heart strings sound like a harp),so I adore the inclusion you often have of room for a dog and or cat and a single stable IN CASE a special Equine happens along. I really adored the treatment in Spellbound of the stable outbuilding with a balconied upper flooor and accesss to a large basement with minimal aged goodies like chest, nectar, nectar maker, and anything antique-like.
As for Pendle Witch, loved the entertainment downstairs, groundfloor living, and alchemic attic with all things magic.

I flow better if i continue here for a bit rather than jump too much in the form, if that is approved.

I have in mind for this home something quite special that I've been doing, namely I bred witch babies using two couples of my favorite original witches. One a boy, one a girl. They are now teens and are best friends, gorgeous, and quite smitten with one another. They finally are beginning their pursuit of magic! My best laid plans are for them to be come a wonderful witch couple living a full life and, in time, having children of their own. Thus my first Legacy has begun, all witch through and through. BTW....my idea of legacy is that the 'older generations' never age

So this build is for my first witch family created from birth. Both are already genius, artistic, charismatic, and party animals. They have skills building in alchemy, painting, guitar, logic, charisma, and are dancing fools naturally

My hope is for a very close loving marriage between my two witches when they graduate, and the rest will play itself out. I will probably add Green thumb, Gatherer, Brave, or Natural Cook, at times adventurous, to their traits, juggling with the ones I already have.

I love gardening as you do, and adore the new gardening "rack" which self waters, allows you to talk to the plants and I adore the sunflowers who not only make the plants happy and are perfect for fertilizing with their 'suns', but the suns give sims a plus 40 moodlet, very nice. And of course tying together gardening and dancing is too cute.

I'll add all spawners, as they never want to stay put, and find for alchemy purposes that a fairly small pond will fill the fishing needs, plus be pretty with the floating flower lights I love.

The pool attached to the pond may be tricky, but I don't know how limited the pool size is. I just know my sims love to dive and love the floating relaxation devices which takes a little bit more pool space. I like giving small sim parties, inviting 6 people verses the ten max. It's so much more fun dining together, swimming or dancing.


Speaking of dining, I love the Japanese grill and Pizza ovens and use them in all my own kitchens i build. I love how you make it all seem old fashioned, yet love good quality appliances and bathroom furnishings. Knowing how the sims complain, I learn what counts: good bathtubs and/or showers, good fridges and ovens, good beds, and high environmental moodlets of beautifully decorated. I love your carpets, you are so good at them showing age yet still being beautiful and classical. I like simple nicely finished wooden flooring beneath the "area rugs" (whether actual or tiled) and am not big on fancy wooden floors. You however are an EXpert in bathroom tile and wallpapers: You have done so many inspired yet classicly designed combinations it's breathtaking.

I don't need to talk to you about magic rooms it's one of your best areas. Oh, my witches always have birds, as they are great....can travel anywhere and never "escape" like turtles LOL.

I am very excited at eventually having a third generation of witches , as you do the most gorgeous, charming nurseries ever. In fact, my now teen witches spent their toddlerhoods in Fitzgeralds' Luxury lovely nursery.


Which EPs and SPs do you have? all! *would be nice to have uni. for the 3rd gen witches

If you have Showtime, which edition do you have (basic, Limited, or Katy Perry)? Basic

Lot size (dimensions): 50x50

Number of bedrooms: 4, nursery included.

Specific instructions on decorating the bedrooms (gender, age, etc.)? your call; a place to read in the master bedroom is always nice. I see the other two bedrooms as either a boy and girls, or child and guest room, so sized for either makes sense. Please no bunkbeds lol....they beg for them and then gripe as to the bad sleep quality!

Number of bathrooms: 4 sounds right

Favorite color schemes: I love your use of medium to dark woods with various blues and greens, cool colors, cream, pale yellow, old fashioned pink, sage green; you do amazing corals.
Colors you dislike: never deep or dark red, no true orange, but some peach is nice, just like the corals and pinks. I LOVE the coral rug in Blue Moon Plantation. Please, nothing either very modern or very goth (I love lilac, periwinkle...not into purple)

Do you want it furnished and decorated? Definitely!

Can patterns from Create-a-Pattern be used? no please

Please list the Store content that can be used: all

Please list the Dr. Pepper and T-Mobile promotional items that can be used: I don't have much, just the drink-me bottle and Alice's Dress from Dr. Pepper.

If you will be placing this lot in an EA world, which one? Moonlight Falls or possible Monte Vista. I don't need a house that blends in either world.

Link to specific house or plan: My favorite houses by Elle are spellbound cottage, pendle witch cottage, victorian magic, blue moon plantation and am very fond of Apothecary todd, Queen Fairy Mara, and Gypsy Hollow. For this build I think I imagine thatch roof and out buildings.

Special requirements (garden, pool, hot tub, etc.)? favorite sim hobbies are gardening, alchemy, fishing, potion making, inventing, cooking. I love "swimmable ponds" with little arched bridge as in Spellbound Cottage, lovely. a hot tub is nice if it works with the build. Please, NO laundry Treasure boxes full of goodies are adored with glee! Klorelei makes THE best kitchens in my opinion

I have so many books on Victorian childhood and toys. The puppet theater concept is wonderful (punch and judy?), dolls, so many great new teddy bears to color. I realize the collection of old-fashioned toys are limited in the game, but the feeling is what I hope to capture.

Additional instructions? Would like a broom rink on the property if possible. Elle, I Welcome your imput and trust your creative instincts
