Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

addict1220 — GMT

[size=24][b]Welcome Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge![/b][/size]

The Build-n-Share challenges will be posted Wednesday of each week and run through the following Wednesday. Results will be posted no later than one week after all entries have been submitted.

[size=18]The benefits:[/size]
Each entry into the competition will receive an automatic rec (recommendation) and download on their entry lot. Most lots will also receive additional recs, as we now have six judges for our weekly competition! Because of an outstanding turnout of firms in our first several weeks, we have broken down the challenge into six categories: beginner, beginner mid-level, beginner/intermediate, intermediate, intermediate/advanced, and advanced. If you are a first-time participant, please let us know where you think you might fit into the categories. When in doubt, go a little lower, and your judge can always "bump" you if he or she sees you might be misplaced.

First place will be awarded at all levels. If there are at least eight entries in a category, up to four places will also be announced. In each category, first place will receive 3 recs, second place will receive 2 recs, third place will receive 2 recs, and fourth place will receive one rec. Winners may request recs on a particular build/s by providing links to the related lots once results are posted.

Weekly challenges also create an opportunity for community on the forum site. We get to know one another’s names, share news, builds, and positive words. This is a chance to get your name out there, and hopefully make a few friends along the way. As a participant in our challenge, you may also post new builds you are working on to our Builders' Showcase thread so group members may check them out. You can find that thread here: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/49652.page

What makes this challenge different from all the other ones I've seen?
We have been hosting this weekly challenge since the first week the game was released. We have many levels of builders in our community and welcome them all. This group is truly a product of all its great members!

Within the first few challenges, our group was recognized by the gurus that be, who have helped the weekly challenges gain even more popularity be stickying both Build-n-Share threads. Since then, we have had at least one featured creation almost every week, and our list of featured members continues to grow.

With 2 successful collaborative neighborhoods (Gnomelandia and Summer of Love) just about completed, Build-n-Share hopes to bring more creative challenges and new neighborhood ideas to the community with the help of our dedicated participants who willingly contribute and help each week to make sure each challenge runs smoothly. [size=12][/size]

[size=18]The rules: [/size]
All entries must be original work. Any competitor who submits another builder’s work will be disqualified and banned from any future Build-n-Share challenge. These competitors will also be removed from the Builders' Boulevard website as well as our Yahoo! Group 321 Builders’ Boulevard if they have chosen to join (membership to the site and the Yahoo! group are not required to enter a Build-n-Share challenge).

Any object that is purchased from the Sims 3 store may not be on our system, so please realize that when we judge, we may see a substituted item instead. You may use these objects, just please recognize this caveat of the store.

Please announce your official lot posting using the entry form below. Make sure to leave the "Official Entry" label big. If you need to reformat it, you can do this by highlighting the desired text and then selecting "Big" in the font box above. This will help us see the entries in a sea of posts with no pics to guide us.

Entries must be submitted by the deadline, 7 p.m. Wednesday evening (eastern time, USA).
[size=12][/size]
[size=18]A description of the three major level categories (which are now subdivided): [/size]

Beginner--I have a little experience, but I'm still figuring a lot of things out. I would not call myself an official "builder" at this point. This level includes Beginner, Beginner Mid-level, and Beginner/Intermediate.

Intermediate--I have been building for awhile. I know the basics and maybe a little more. I may have entered a weekly challenge or two for Sims 2, and I may even have won on occasion. This level includes Intermediate and Intermediate/Advanced.

Advanced--I know the Sims, and the Sims knows me. My name is familiar to a lot of veteran players, and I've competed in and won some weekly challenges and maybe even been recognized in a community showcase or two. I know most of the cheats AND I know how to use them. This level includes Advanced. [size=12][/size]
[size=18]
Two additional opportunities: [/size]
Member Anjubee and I have started a new website and forum with the builder in-mind. We have just recently begun and are still adding some features, but we hope you'll join us anyway at http://www.buildersboulevard.com . The site offers an additional forum for advertising lots and a method of private messaging your favorite builders!

I have also created a Yahoo! Group for builders. It can be accessed at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/buildersboulevard/ . You do not have to be a member to enter. This group will be used primarily as an announcement center and for some of our more complex polls, and possibly, databases.

[size=24][b]Week 13, Autumn Winters[/b][/size]
[size=18][b]Deadline: Sept. 2, 2009 at 7 p.m. Eastern time[/b][/size]

Autumn Winters arrives at 7 p.m. sharp, just as you arranged over the phone. You finally have a face to put with the name. You notice her well put-together attire and wonder why she needs your help for the decorating.

Autumn is confident and sticks her hand out to greet you. “It’s so nice to finally meet you; I’ve heard so many great things about your work. I just can’t believe I managed to pin you down for my new home! It’s a true honor.”

You decide you like this charismatic woman even more.

“So you mentioned you are looking to build for next week?” You begin the usual conversation.

“Yes,” she laughs. “Always working on a deadline, it seems. I’m hoping this build won’t be too hard for you, though. My budget is a little more modest than some of the larger projects you’ve had recently, I think. What I would really like is a 1 or 2 bedroom home with a nice office. I tend to bring a lot of work home these days; have to keep up in these tough times!”

You hand Autumn a cup of water. She has barely taken a breath since she began talking!

She smiles, takes a quick sip, and continues. “And I want a place where I can entertain. A large kitchen and an open floorplan, at least for the main level of the home, would be a nice plus. I want a nice home to gather with friends and family, but also a home to impress my coworkers! I’d like clean lines and classic style, nothing too modern or too floral. My name reflects all my favorite colors: red, orange, yellow, gold, and brown.”

“Any other requests?” You ask, mostly to give yourself a pause to get everything down.

“Hmm…well, I saw the double-sided fireplace in your showroom. I’d really like that between my bedroom and the master bath…so luxurious! And a garage would be a bonus. Early hours mean lots of scraping in the mornings without one. I have a new car I want to protect…come see!”

She’s almost out the door before you’re out of your chair.

In the parking lot, she beams at you from the driver side door of a sporty red car.

“That’s about it, I think,” she says as she begins to open the car door to get inside. “Thank you SO much for your help! I can’t wait to see the home.”

Autumn pulls away in a flash; you go back to your desk to start drafting a plan.

[b][size=18]Autumn's Budget: 30K[/size][/b]
(You may also add a "sporty red car" free-of-charge after spending the 30K for the construction and decoration of this home.)

Name:

Link to the posted asset:

Additional links (to pictures, etc.):

Experience level:

Lot Name:

Lot address, size, and final cost:

Details and Rational:

Credit to any simmers for custom content you used:

Please also make sure that your upload includes your name either in the title or the description. It is best to include this in "edit info" on the property in Edit Town mode before you upload or save to the library. The information you enter after you hit "Share" only shows up on the exchange and will not show up in the judge's game, so please make it easier on our poor judges by entering your name somewhere in the description before you hit the "Share" button. Additionally, please make sure to credit the creator of any custom content. And if you can fit in that it is for Build-n-Share, we would be very pleased.

We are going to continue to use our photo sticky, as it seems to work pretty well as a format for sharing (versus spreading information).

Please do not post photos in the challenge thread.

Hee hee. Thought we'd been too easy on the budget lately...but I think this one is "do-able."

So glad to have you back, SimEve. I think school has me fully in fall mode now, too. Can't wait for the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet!

Addict

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

addict1220 — GMT

Hey, Sunset. Sorry about that. I need to look up the title of it. It's the one with the "window" on two sides so you can see the fire from both sides. If you look on the picture for my build called The Carson, you'll see which one I mean. In the meantime, I'll dig up that name!

Hooray, Invisible! Glad people are digging it.

Hopefully school won't cut in to my sim time too much! Argh SAT's!

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

SunsetValley01 — GMT

Sorry, Mr. Questions here, there is no lot size restriction right? And how do we put the fireplace in between two rooms without cheating? (Or do we use the cheat?) Sorry for the bother.
-SunsetValley01

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Anjubee — GMT

I don't believe there is a lot size requirement this time around, sunset! But as the budget is fairly limited, I probably wouldn't suggest going with a lot that's too big.

As for the fireplace, that's where your creativity will be coming in! Experiment with it a little to come up with something you're pleased with. As for cheats, I think most of us can't live without the moveobjects cheat, so that may come in handy!

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

addict1220 — GMT

Hi, Sunset. I'm usually the question woman, so I appreciate finding a kindred spirit! lol

Anjubee is right, there is no required size. I usually say 40x40 or less because our judges have to place so many lots and bigger can really bog things down.

You are welcome to use cheats, but you don't have to. As Anju said, moveobjects is always a fun one to play with, just make sure the lot is still playable.

Jayempee, yikes! That is HOT for this time of year. Glad you'll participate anyway!

Welcome back, Stuart and Lego. SAT. Yikes. Glad that time of my life is well in my past!

ooh addict I am liking this challenge. I already have some idea, just hoping I can get it all in for 30k.

Just one thing, the car which she wants to protect, I presume she wants a garage or is that up to us?

I'm LOVING this challenge! Autumn Winters and I have the same palette of favorite colors Although, my launcher STILL won't let me log in or upload anything...piece of crap. So I may participate, but it'll be from the pleasure of my own home, I guess...

hm.... classic style on a shoe-string budget??? me no thinka dat works.....

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Oh, Firebubble. Perhaps upload some pics to Photobucket (or a similar hosting site). This won't require use of your launcher, and then we can enjoy your work!

Happyone,
I'm thinking of a specific bed that's in-game as kind of an example...the Bedscalibur. You don't have to use it, but that's the look I have in my mind for some reason...Not too embellished, but not too modern, either. Hope that makes sense/clarifies a bit.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

addict1220 — GMT

Aww, Stuart. Hang in there! I know you all can come up with something. You might take a peak at the post above. I'm not thinking "classical," so maybe that would help...more streamlined, if that makes sense?

Addict[/quote]

Hehe. Our seasons are weird. We only notice the passing of the year, not by weather, but by the news.

Snowbird season- A season that goes from October to April where elderly folk from northern states (and Canadia) come down to Florida because they hate the cold, even though they have lived in it for 50+ years. The chances of a car accident increases. They can easily spotted by going 40 in a 75 while everyone else is going 90. They flock to cheap diners like Denny's and Ihop and various bagel traps, complaining about the food. They are the worst neighbors that could ever exist. They constantly call the police over the slightest disturbance.

Hurricane Season-A season which goes from June to November. Can be distinguished when you see weather people in yellow parkas in pouring sleeting rain on the beach, holding onto the palm trees, being hit with magazines and newspapers (which btw, apparently are running rampant in our streets) all the while, telling people to stay off the beach. In the background, you normally see surfers. Home Depot gets crowded, there is no plywood in the whole state, water and canned goods are scarce, and for some reason or another, so is bleach (no one seems to know what this is for, but it's traditional!). Every month during Hurricane Season, Floridians pinch their buttocks while watching the little spinny hurricane symbol, then release when it turns north.

Summer- Every other month.

oh yeah. I do know what you mean in the brief. Was just looking through some of my interior design history books. I love this challenge. It would have been great(er) to have a wee bit more to play with. Autumn strikes me as someone who is full of style!

Back to the drawing board for a house design....

peacemaker_ic — GMT

this one sounds great. i think the basic shape of one of my eco homes might work but i will definately have slightly smaller rooms and a bit smaller kitchen, smaller... you get the idea. i think i might try contemporary style. it is neither modern or classic and is crisp and clean.

i do have to ask in you story it sort of refers to her saying more than one story when talking about the open plan living. is it a necessity to have 2 stories or can we build a one story home as well?

I almost wish you hadn't given an exact example Addict -- the furniture in that style isn't cheap! (Though I do like the style). Oh well... I just need a more economical floor plan I guess

This is a fantastic challenge, Addict. I'm very excited. My brain is percolating away over here. hehe Thank you and all of you (judges, thread maintainers, participants and Anjubee) for doing these challenges. I look forward to these every week.

I usually do open floorplans, so that shouldn't be an issue. I just have to make sure to not go TOO big. lol I have a tendency to do that and then end up broke for furnishings. Hmmm.. *ponders* I love the color palette! Warm colors are my favorites to work with.

Okay, I guess I better go see what I can put together. Good luck everyone, I really look, forward to seeing everyone's builds.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Hi all,
I've watched these challenges for a while and I'm wondering if I can now come and play/join too?

I've read the thread and the requirements for Autumn - but can I just put this on any specific lot I like? Do I have to download Autumn so I have her budget, or can I just plump for a lot and spend UP to the required amount? I'm sure these have been covered someplace - I just can't find them

Thanks,BG

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Allure — GMT

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Autumn says she wants a double-sided fireplace between the master bedroom and the master bath. Does this mean one side of the fireplace has to be in the master bathroom?

Also, would building a carport instead of a garage be okay?

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Had to do some fixing up of my own house today. But, first attempt of this one finished...and scrapped. Did I miss the answer about it having to be two floors? And does it *have* to be that 5K fire place?

Second try will have to wait until tomorrow for me...guess I'll be brainstorming plans at work!

I'm having trouble making a "BIG" Kitchen and leaving enough room for the Living Room. And about the Fireplace.. Like everyone else do we need the really expensive one? Or can we use cheats to make the smaller fireplaces appear to be double sided?

Details and Rational: I chose the adress as it lays in the middle of town and I figured that Autumn would want to be near all the people she gonna entertain. She got her wish of the double fireplace, with the master bathroom only to used to wind down, like a private mini spa. She got a carport for her lovely car . The whole house is decorated with her favourite colors and a splash of autumn green.

Oh wow. Just got home and see there are 4 new pages since I went to bed last night! Work is really interfering with my game experience! lol

Page 3 responses...

Man, every one is struggling with the budget. I thought 30K would be do-able for a 1 (or 2) bedroom home with an office. I know everyone likes more money, but I was worried we were having too many mid-range builds lately...and I just about killed everyone with that bed and breakfast.

The "scraping in the morning" was clarified (thanks, Mandy!). I was basically just hinting that she might like a garage or carport.

Keep in mind that some of the items are "wants" not necessarily requirements...though more wants fulfilled means a happier sim, and customer!

Peacemaker, it does not have to be a multi-story build. If all is on one floor, just make sure the kitchen/dining/living area is very open for hosting parties.

Tamlyn, don't worry about using that particular furniture. It just captured the essence of what I was thinking...I'm not really "up" on all the architectural styles, to be honest. If it were clothes we were designing, I'm thinking maybe kind of preppy?

Firebubble, from one Ohioan to another, you really captured the essence of our so-called seasons! Clovergoddess, the tacked on "every other month" made me laugh.

(Taking it page by page!)

Allure,
Yes, a carport is just fine. Love those! And the fireplace should be shared by the two, as Stuart and Clover suggested.

Jayempee,
Because everyone is struggling so much, I'll budge a little. That could probably work. Maybe find some way to just make them [i]feel [/i]a little like two separate spaces.

Buntingirrl,
Welcome! Yep, you can pick the lot and just work up to that amount (thanks for responding too, Stuart, went to bed, then to work...long delay for my responses). I forgot to put the sim on a lot to add to her budget before uploading, so if you put her in, you'll have to cheat to beef up her budget a bit.

Amchristian,
The size of the build is ABSOLUTELY key here. Open doesn't need to be big spaces with nothing in it...just easy to move from place to place for schmoozing.

Mmyoko,
I haven't heard from Icraw. I'll try emailing her tonight. Are you up for filling in if she isn't available?

Lizmarie,
Your last note about making it through the Calientes cracked me up. And I agree. That one was tougher than this one, I think. I may have to try this one for myself to see about that budget...

Actually laughed out loud at all the posts on page 5...

I hate yellow, orange, and gold was a highlight.

And the "hope she doesn't want to go outside."

As well as Stuart's "thanks?!"

Rofl.

So sorry to torture you all.

Remember that many of the items are wants, so perhaps some things may need balanced or solved in a creative way. The challenge, of course, is to manage to meet them all on such a tight constraint.

The 5K fireplace would be lovely, but I'm admittedly always a fan of clever solutions...

Thanks, Pally. I'm glad you're feeling up to the challenge. Haven't made it to respond to page 6 yet, but I see that you're there. And I already know you've come up with something great.

WEll, I guess the good news is the extra lots everyone is creating will be great for your next project!

I'm glad people are enjoying the challenge. And I'm so glad no one has given up (at least posted about it!). I love seeing how people stretch their dollar.

You know, I think I noticed something last time I built. I didn't notice depreciation when I left the lot in build mode. Perhaps that is because I was on a community lot? Or is that something they "fixed" in the update? Will have to check it out the next time I'm in-game.

Preppy...hmmm. I think it comes from preparatory school? Argyle, penny loafers, and sweaters tied over one's shoulders? lol. Often a style worn by the more "well-to-do." I thought twice about using that term, and typed it anyway.

Let me know if that just confuses matters further and I'll take it away. Her sweater would be "preppy," I think.

Lot Name: Autumn Winters BnS13 by Kit10

Lot address, size, and final cost: 380 Mirabello Road, 16 X 19, $29,971 (without car, which was $85k hehe! Autumn has expensive taste!)

Details and Rational: I tried and failed to build this house on lots bigger than what I finally ended up with. Being that I do exdemons challenges a lot, building on this tiny lot was not so bad actually and I was able to get accomplished what I wanted/needed to. Wow, $30k, very challenging but I think I pulled it off! I wanted to build Autumn a 1 bed/ 1.5 bath with plenty of room to entertain on the bottom floor. So basically the bottom floor is meant for entertaining/dining and the top floor is her sanctuary/workspace. I also housed her shiney red car after I completed the home.

It is something they "fixed" with the update. None of the lots depreciate anymore unless a sim is living there and you play it a day or two.

Lot address, size, and final cost: 380 Mirabello Road, 16x18, 29,987

Details and Rational: I had some problems building everything Autumn wanted within the budget of 30k. So I chose to go for the smallest lot, no garage. I did put in the fireplace and office. I went with a very light yellow and dark brown for most of the house. Some orange and red for the bedroom and bathrooms.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

jayemmpee — GMT

[b]Addict[/b]: Thanks for clarification on the office. I think I may have to rebuild, as I'm currently on a 20x30 lot (I think) and the budget is just too tight. I'm not taking up much space, so a smaller lot might help me fit in more things, like a separate office room.

Fortunately I've studied the house a lot, so I should be able to rebuild from memory very quickly, esp. if I save some of the styles I created. The biggest challenge will be recreating my front porch...it's kinda special.

Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Pallypoo — GMT

A budget tip: I use 3 dollar wallpapers and then just change the patterns.

I did notice that sometimes when I changed the color or pattern of a wall it would cost money, but if you exit the lot and re-enter you get that money back. I do agree that they "Fixed" the depreciation thing for buy mode. I never seem to see that happen with the items themselves anymore.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

LizMarie1085 — GMT

Kit10..

Thanks for pointing out that the Bistro is the smallest lot, I was going to use the Spa but opted for the Bistro now and was able to make a decent shell with foundation, walls, doors and windows for roughly $8,000. Last build I was at $11,000 and a lot smaller.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Tamlyn — GMT

See, Autumn's problem was she spent so much money on her shiny new car she didn't have any left for a house. That's just bad budgeting

I still depreciate. Not heaps, just the little set amount on furniture, but I'm patched so... *shrug*

On another note: everyone always suggests removing the insides of foundations to make more money... but for me that always costs more money :S A filled square is less than an open square :\ Am I doing something wrong there?

Experience level: Beginner

Lot Name: Winters BnS13 by Stormcarver

Lot address, size, and final cost: 55 Water Lily Lane, 20x30, $29,949

Details and Rational: From Autumn's description of her desired home, it was 2 stories, hence, a 2-story home. I used predominantly peach, as it is a good backdrop for most of the autumn palette used, as you can see in screenshots. The lot used is close to the center of town, so therefor, one would assume, close to work for Autumn. The floorpan on the first floor is very open, as requested, and the kitchen is large for the size of the home. Again, as requested, the style is "classic," and follows the style of most older northern homes. It is clean in design and decor, without clutter or extra, and any floral patterns are downplayed. There was, unfortunately, little play in the budget for a second bedroom, decor beyond the necessary, or landscaping.

Credit to any simmers for custom content you used: I wish I could remember where some of the patterns came from, but I have no idea. I do very much appreciate the effort that went into creating them!

Lot Name: Winters - Bunting Homes

Lot address, size, and final cost: 72 Water Lily Lane, 20x30, $29,347

Details and Rational: I decided to go for an upside down home, to give the maximum open plan space, plus I could add a wrap-around balcony to take advantage of the stunning views down to the beach. However this meant that I had to sacrifice the second bedroom for Ms Winters. Her office is situated downstairs, with views out to the lawned garden.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

addict1220 — GMT

[size=24]OK. [/size]
For those who are struggling, I have a few tips. Only read the fine print below if you want to read them.

I just built a home with all the specs (It's a 1 BR, but I went pretty big on the office). It IS doable.

[size=18]The tips:[/size]

[size=7]1. Don't use foundation. Due to what I presume is a double-entry error, foundation costs $44! per square, rather than $4. This is too much on a budget this tight.

2. Use attic space for free walls and paint.

3. Go small on the actual build size. Less walls means more stuff. [/size]

I apologize and hope you'll tune in tomorrow.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Stormcarver — GMT

Tamlyn,

I noticed the same thing! If I use a solid foundation, it is significantly cheaper than using the CTRL-click method to remove the center, which is [i]supposed[/i] to be the cheaper option. The only other way you could go is to kinda "cheat" and use a square of foundation on the corners and wherever is needed - but only enough to support the floor. It's a lot more time consuming, but it can be less expensive with larger builds. Anyone checking the foundation will laugh hysterically if they ever see it, though.

Hello Everyone!

First off, after a three week hiatus I am sad to report that I still have no time and I don't think I can get judging done...Myoko would you mind? I have accepted an 8th grade English position and it has really been challenging for me. I didn't really think that it would be such a change from 9th grade to 8th, but boy, was I ever wrong! They have really been keeping me planning

Second, WOWZERS to all of the builds. I sat down at the computer tonight to work on school stuff and have found myself lost in the world of BnS for the last hour...I guess I will have to be thankful for 2nd period assemblies!

Finally, great job builders. Everyone has really been raising the bar. I think I am actually afraid to come back

Good luck--I am going to hope that I can get it together here in the next week and have some free time again. Just another joy of being a teacher!

You're welcome. I agree, I had been having trouble on bigger lots and couldn't seem to build anything for less than $12k. I think I managed to build my house shell for around the same price, maybe 9k, I don't remeber, but either way I ended up with more space (funny to say that with a smaller lot lol) and more definition to the house. It was a good turnout.

Very impressive job. I think you were smart to use a tiny lot as you obviously were able to fit in more bang for your buck. The split level garage is a nice touch. Well done.

Your build looks good from the download page. I like that you built down instead of of up. Looking forward to checking it out in game.

Stormcarver
Nice call on the peach, it works well with the fall colors. Also liked how you did the carport. Well done.

thenickel09
Looks great from the download page. I'm impressed that you were able to budget so many windows in.

buntinggirl
Like that you did a bit of landscaping in the front. Love the idea of an "upside-down house"! Now that would make a great challenge...

LandaX
Your colors work really well, it just looks so cozy! Now I want to go curl up somewhere with a book and drink some hot chocolate. Yay fall!

Great work so far everyone!

Oi!

I just built my house twice. NOT because the budget was bad... but because I kept going over and couldn't figure out how or why.

Well, let me tell you how.. [b]Every ingot, jewel and butterfly I added to the house... added to the dang Furnished Value! It has NEVER done that before.
[/b]
So, I have a dilemma. Should I delete all those collectibles I added? Or just upload with them and note the cost BEFORE I added them.

Just checked about the garden plants and those do NOT add to the value.

This is kooky. Seriously, it has never happened to me before. Has this happened to anyone else?

[i]Edited In: On another note. I am not sure I am meeting the style you wanted, Addict. Has anyone submitted a house so far that you would say represents that style well? If so, can you tell me which one so I can compare what I've chosen and see if I went on the right track? Thanks[/i]

amchristian - have you tried leaving the lot and going back in? Some of us notice as we recolor (and sometimes remove and put stuff back) the value goes inexplicably up, but if we leave the house and go back to edit it the value goes back down.

EDIT: This is certainly a frustrating bug, but it definitely encourages me to save my lot often.

I actually have tried exiting and reentering and it is doing me no good. I must have a serious bug going on or they updated something while I was playing. To make matters worse, I always plant gardens on my lots since I'm putting them on the exchange. Well, my guy is taking care of the garden until things fruit... The value of my property just jumped over 5k for no reason whatsoever. This is so bizarre. LOL I feel really silly because I never have issues like this. hehehehe

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

amchristian — GMT

Kit10: The ones I was referring to in my post were just ones I went out and collected. But, I think you mean the actual collectible nodes. If so, I downloaded them from another site. They are more like CC, except they weren't created. They were just copied from the ones in game and then added to the Building Store under rocks (if you add them to your game). Just be careful not to add too many because they can seriously get out of control with spawning stuff all over the place. lol Yes, I learned that the hard way. hehe

On another note.... As for my dilemma with my house... I have the incredible appreciating house now. It must be bugged, so I am going to build another without adding anything to it, unfortunately. No garden and no collectibles. Maybe that will work. I'm afraid to even put a sim on the property because both of my builds are appreciating with the sims on there rather than depreciating. Isn't that bizarre?

Lot Name: Winter's Fall

Lot address, size, and final cost: 270 Sunnyside blvd., 30x20, 30.000 exactly

Details and Rational: To make 2 bedrooms, an office, a large kitchen and include a garage and fireplace for this budget made me skimp on other things. Such as plants. This woman probably doesnt do outdoorsy stuff anyway. One thing I did want to include was a bar. Because working as hard as she does she needs to unwind with a nice drink on the sofa much more than she needs to cook. She probably orders in most of the time. The second bedroom really is a small guest room for unexpected visitors. I made a point of making a complete indoors garage, as her request was to not have to scrape ice off the car windows anymore. It needs more than just a roof. I just hope she kills the fireplace before she goes to sleep... I did not include a fire alarm.

Details and Rational: I had a clear picture in my head of what I wanted this house to look like I'm not sure whether that helped or hindered the budget. I rebuilt it 5 times xD I fit a second 'loft' bedroom in which I was quite pleased with and it has 1.5 bathrooms Agian like Jimmy's I wasnt happy with how sparse it looks decor wise on the budget but I think I did okay. I went a 'modernish' style but I'm hoping the wood will subdue that a bit. The encased chimney still puts out smoke and everything The garage works fine which I was happy with as I'm not familiar with garage etiquette my sims never seem to have a car rofl.

Lot address, size, and final cost: 15 Hidden Grove Ln, 40x30, $29,279

Details and Rational: I wanted to stick with the main colors and open floor plan, but also wanted to provide additional tranquil space for Autumn to unwind and relax. So.. in addition to her fireplace in her bedroom and bathroom, and I focused on landscaping with lots of trees to provide shade and the pond to relax and possibly read by. On another note, I finally learned how to do different roof pitches although I am VERY new and rusty at it. I practiced on this house, and although it's very subtle, there are different roof pitches! I am *so* excited about that, lol.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

amchristian — GMT

You know how I said the plants and trees I planted weren't affecting the price of my house? Well, even though they said $0 when I grabbed them.. when I deleted them, it took off HUNDREDS of simoleons. Considering that I had the entire lot landscaped, nicely I might add, with growables.. they were adding thousands of dollars to my homes value. Now, I don't know if this is a bug or something they snuck in with a ninja update. I would be very interested to know if anyone else has a home (any home) with growables they can check for the same behavior. It would let me know if my game/homes are bugged. Thanks. The plus to this is that I get to keep my favorite build. I just have to redecorate and landscape more carefully, so I should be finished soon.

[i][b]Edited In:[/b] Correction.. not every type of plant or even every plant of a certain type is registering as part of the added value... Only some of them.. but they are enough, believe me.. Hundreds of dollars for an apple tree? Hundreds of dollars for a grape plant? This is really weird.[/i]

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

DieterPrivate — GMT

I also wanted to note that the adress is really important! Every lot has a value and this value is within the price. So if you don't give up the lot you build on, and the judge put's it on a more expensive lot, it can be that you went over budget! So be sure to give up the lot!

Also another great tip for saving money:

A foundation is nice,
but it's expensive, so think twice.
Want to win that money back?
Well, partially, but what the heck.
The pool holds the answer, it's true, hee hee.
Just mix it with the side you don't see.
The side of the foundation I mean,
You even can paint it green.
Want some more money back, don't you?
Try all sides that fits you.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

DieterPrivate — GMT

[quote=Stormcarver]Tamlyn,

I noticed the same thing! If I use a solid foundation, it is significantly cheaper than using the CTRL-click method to remove the center, which is [i]supposed[/i] to be the cheaper option. The only other way you could go is to kinda "cheat" and use a square of foundation on the corners and wherever is needed - but only enough to support the floor. It's a lot more time consuming, but it can be less expensive with larger builds. Anyone checking the foundation will laugh hysterically if they ever see it, though. [/quote]

It's normal if you think about it. And if you know how the game calculates those foundations. I tested it and here's the answer:

no matter how you put your foundation, every floor tile it brings with it costs $4 and every piece of wall costs $10. So one costs $44, but two next to each other costs $68, ....
The cheapest foundation solution for a particular house is the one with the less wall pieces.
And you don't need to place tiles on those foundations! the ones that comes with it are recolorable! If it doesn't, just place it again, and it will!

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Terentia — GMT

Learn something new everyday .. I did not know that the top of the foundation was recolorable.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Mumsy — GMT

I've never been able to color the top of a foundation.. /me is confused about this.

And Amchristian, the plants themselves cost $0 but each fruit, veg or whatever does and of course the higher the quality the higher the price.. maybe this was the issue?

Edited to add: This challenge is KILLING me! 4 builds so far, this one is iffy, but I may have to do the fireplace cheat to get it done

I THOUGHT I liked these colors but not so much now

Not at all, Bekka. I thought I remembered you could see it from both sides placing it in a wall, but mine shows the wall, too. You still get the basic effect, so I wouldn't worry too much.

I decided to post my trial build. I hope you'll look for the forum post here and possibly check it out. (I removed the build from this thread, as it is not an entry...and I'm sure I can get just a little more in...lol) http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/0/97667.page#1075490

From the download page it looks like you utilized the fall color scheme to your advantage and put your own twist on it. Nice job!

[b]Daenelia[/b]
Love the different patterns you used on the living furniture and the shades of dark red look fabulous. That shot of your rep in the bathtub is great. Looks so luxurious, wish I was her!

[b]Bennjoon [/b]
Wow! Looks like very impressive work from the download page. Love the split level garage. You've really out done yourself this week.

[b]Kirsalynne[/b]
I love that you budgeted in some landscaping. The pond looks great! The patterns and colors you used inside are also fantastic. I particularly like the bedroom. Using a park bench at the foot of the bed was very clever. Great work!

Your build looks great from the download page. Love that you put in some landscaping and room for a vegetable garden. Nice job.

I like how you incorporated the carport. The patterns and colors you used are oustanding. Love the open kitchen/living room. very nice work.

Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

SimsLovingBabe — GMT

Can't wait for the story Addict! From the pic of the living room and the walls up shot it looks great! Can't wait to see more! I think it's awesome that you're doing your own challenge just for fun.

Good job to everyone else as well! Can't wait to see the rest of the entries.

I don't think I'm going to enter this week. Not in a building mood. Just built a quick home, not really decorated [no accessories] for Duke, my [unofficial] legacy spare and his family for under $18,000 and am really involved in playing. Also working on making the JV volleyball team for the fall so I'm too tired for all the brain power this build would take from me! Of course I'm still here to rec and look at them all! Keep up the good job everyone!

[b]Details and Rational:[/b]

I wanted to create a home for Autumn that met all her requests. I hope I have done this. I chose to go with a mountainous type lot and a three-story home that consists of a walk-out basement, a middle living floor and a loft. Very few actual walls were used in this construction. Most of the construction was created by roofs, decking and foundation which was then decorated. Furnishings are simple but elegant and carry the autumn colors theme throughout the home... as does the wallpaper, rugs and flooring. I tried to create several specialized spaces throughout the house with furniture and item groupings to add interest to the open floor plan. The garage does not have a door, but it is accessible without ever stepping a foot out in the snow.

I'm done!! I ran out of money, I think my house came in at 29,894 or something really close to the budget like that...so it only has the 2 front windows but there's plenty of lights! Here's a link to some pictures since my uploader is a major failboat.

Wonderful house, firebubble!

If I had just made my house a bit smaller, I'd have been able to add more counters in the kitchen. I wish I had done that... but by the time I had done two builds and then stripped them and redecorated and refurnished, I was pulling my hair out. haha

Great job on your house. I love the shape of it and all the cozy nooks.

Roof angle shouldn't affect it, it adds pieces as needed as far as I know

Lot address, size, and final cost: 55 Waterlily Lane, 20x30, final cost: 30,000 exactly!

Details and Rational: Well, I did what I could with Autumn's budget. Fall colors used throughout the house...

Though the roof isn't as pretty as I'd have liked, it does the job. I play tested a copy of the lot. Good ol' Jimmy Applejacks was able to run around and use everything.

I think I covered most, if not all, of Autumn's requests. Fireplace between the master bedroom/bath, large kitchen with open floorplan, and big office. I was able to include a few perks as well: a TV, stereo, and even a decent computer. Car not included though, Autumn can bring her own. This was definitely a challenge for me, but I think it turned out OK...

Hmm that's odd.
I'm stumped. I'd say go live and see if it works. If it does, then I guess no worries. If you want the visual of the chimney, then perhaps use wall pieces to "fake" one on the roof?

~Mumsy

As you go up levels you do see the top pieces though? Like the piece that allows the smoke out? (not good at technical terms sometimes)

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

addict1220 — GMT

I have noticed that the chimney height changes depending on if you place it before or after the roof is added. I have sometimes played with this when I think a chimney is too prominent. I can't remember which makes it taller, but perhaps try each way to see if one shows the chimney? Sorry I can't remember specifically.

I think placing the fireplace first, before the roof, makes it shorter. I also noticed that if you move the fireplace, and don't alter the roof, the chimney stays in the same place. Or at least, that happened to me once.

Fireplaces and chimneys are weird.

Plus a tad too difficult to clean irl. *remembers incident where father made soot smudges on the immaculately, just painted, white chimney, and the reaction of mother... ahhh, fun times...*

I think I am beaten. I love designing in the Sims because it allows us to motherlode to our hearts content. In real life we may not all be able to afford the house we build or decorate. But, for me, that's what makes it fun!

I am finding no fun in this challenge (sorry Addict).

Super, I was pretty sure it's if you place it first, it's shorter. Thanks for confirming what I was thinking, Daenelia. That means if you placed it later, Super, it should be taller...so not sure what to suggest other than Mumsy's "faux" chimney idea. (BTW, I really like the siggy. Are all of those sims yours?)

Stuart,
Sorry you haven't enjoyed it. I do try to make the assignments challenging, as I figure most of us build without restrictions a majority of the time. Perhaps you will find something fun in the next few weeks.

Details and Rational: Well, this is a girl with expensive tastes but kind of lacks the money to support it. After several builds I decided to give her a basement that could serve as both a garage and her study. This allowed me to give her an open floor plan on the main level while keeping it small enough to stay in the budget. I then added a half bath so that she would not have to worry about guests walking through her bedroom. I ran out of cash in the end and was not able to decorate as much inside the home but was able to at least do some landscaping.

Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Sparkle — GMT

It seems I need some help or I won't be able to enter this week *cries*

I was trying to use Ex-demon's foundation tricks to build a house made of foundation walls and cut costs. I'm 100% certain that after I built it I double checked to make sure the lighting worked like a house and not like outdoors and it was fine so I went ahead and started adding a bit of landscaping and placing some furniture..

Trouble is that now, the lights don't work. I altered the shape of the house a little to cut costs further and then placed some furniture in 3 of the rooms to get an idea of what I wanted where. And as I was doing the office decided to place a few lights to to experiment with lighting levels and now the lights simply don't work. The furniture behaves as thought it is lit normally but the walls adn floors show nothing at all. This is my third attempt at a house and I am not trying again as I have other builds I want to work on, so does anyone know how to fix this issue CHEAPLY? I really like the house so far and would love to enter it

"give up the lot" = to state exactly which lot you built your home on. Such as I stated mine was built on the Bistro Lot in Sunset Valley and I also gave the actual address of the lot. So in essence I "gave up" the lot that the home was built on.

I hope that helped.

[b]Lot Name:[/b] Autumn's Fall Home by MsXtle
[b]
Lot address, size, and final cost:[/b] 55 Water Lily Lane, 20x30, $29,992

[b]Details and Rational:[/b] Well, I hope I gave Autumn everything she needed. I went for a two story with a townhome feel. Downstairs is the main living area and upstairs has a loft feel as the bedroom is at the top with no door to give optimum space. The office is off the bedroom at the front of the house with just an archway where there is also a door to a balcony. For esthetic purposes I put the hearth of the fireplace under the tub. This means sims can’t poke the fire and such. I liked the look though so kept it that way. I went with the car port to stay in budget. Hope it all worked out.

Link to the tour of the property: [url]http://www.thesims3.com/contentDetail.html?contentId=91271[/url]

Experience level: Intermediate. (First challenge entered, but have been building a bit for Sims 3. Addict suggested I bump to Intermediate level.)

Lot Name: Aspenridge

Lot address, size, and final cost: 2450 Pinochle Point, 20x30 lot, $29,994 final build cost.

Details and Rational: 2 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, sunroom office, carport.

First and foremost, I wanted to give Autumn as much house as the budget and my skills would allow. Furnishings fell into the necessities category. Of course, there was that 5K fireplace... Got that in there. Another possible exception with the TV; that's a luxury I felt I needed to include for Autumn to relax after a hard day of work. Also traded in the dresser in the guest room for two patio lounge chairs for the private deck. Other than that, furnishings were minimal, but styled to compliment the home. As her career progresses, it will be easier for Autumn to upgrade and acquire the "stuff" to fill in her home, than it would be for her to expand the home itself. So for the most part I chose house over "stuff." Specially with window treatments. No matter what is hanging, what home owner doesn't end up changing the curtains upon moving in anyway? Better as the builder to budget that money elsewhere on the build. The money I would have spent on curtains, I spent instead on a decent sized lot with a great view of sunsets every evening.

Secondary to as much house as possible, I also wanted to give a lot of curb appeal. Young career professionals often find their careers force a change of location. Good curb appeal in the house, pond, flowers and aspen trees will help her have a quick sale should her job take her out of Sunset Valley. And of course Autumn likes, well autumn. If fall ever comes, those aspen trees dotting the lot are going to bring her a lot of color.

Would have loved to give her an enclosed garage. But, I think she is going to love that sun room as an office, and there hasn't been frost in Sunset Valley for [i]years[/i]. Ten generations of my family never saw it.

Custom content used: None unless I wasn't paying attention and let a custom pattern get in there. Just used the awesome CAS tool in the game.

P.S. Hope my joking references to a Seasons EP and legacies doesn't get me into too much trouble.

I know how mumsy feels I rebuilt mine 5 times. I should have used the decking trick but I hate the way it looks for some reason. I had this image stuck in my head I wanted it to looks that way and I just couldnt do it any other way so there it is 5 times. I'm sure the decor is a bit sparse too >< but her bedroom/bath in the basement is pretty luxurious and I'm pleased I fit 2 bathrooms.

Btw simeve do you know if you delete the pictures from your page does it mess up the stories or are they like 'resaved' there. :< I'm running out of room.

[quote=firebubble85]I'm done!! I ran out of money, I think my house came in at 29,894 or something really close to the budget like that...so it only has the 2 front windows but there's plenty of lights! Here's a link to some pictures since my uploader is a major failboat.

[quote=SimsLovingBabe][quote=addict1220]Thanks, Simslovingbabe. I just got it to work (I think my launcher has too many pics again!)

Enjoy your legacy. It's fun to take a break for actually playing from time to time!

Addict[/quote]

How do you know when your launcher has too many pics? I have probably around 400 and don't want to run out of room since I make stories for my house tours and the legacy.
Thanks! I am enjoying it except watching the backyard graveyard grow is no fun. I'm quite the attached Simmer.
~SimsLovingBabe~[/quote]

I don't know for sure, but I think the uploaded pics or stored once, but when you use them in a story, they are duplicated and stored with the story. So if I'm correct on this, you can just delete the uploaded pictures and will keep your storys made with them.
Can someone confirm this?

[b]Lot address, size, and final cost:[/b] Designed for 365 Oak Grove Rd. 30x30 lot. $29'997 Furnished, $21'054 Unfurnished.

[b]Details and Rational:[/b] I wanted to go as inventive and non-square as possible given the monetary limits. I had to scale back my sketches considerably, but thanks to the first few pages in this thread, I was prepared for a huge cash crunch!

I use moveobjects on to create a less expensive and innovative solution to the double-sided fireplace. See the linked story for more details about my rationale.

Budget didn't stretch enough for me to add a barbecue or patio furniture but there is quite a nice patio area ready for it. Car port and sporty red car were also added.

[size=18]SuperPogimon[/size]: My problem actually came back. Flattening the lot fixed it but the moment I saved, exited the game and came back, the problem was back. However I checked out a few things. I saved my game stuck a sim in and played through with just what I had and at 7:00pm all the lights came on properly. So I exited without saving and went back to building. I'm just going to take it that even if the lights don't work in BB mode, they do in live mode. I'll double check before I upload my lot. The only thing I can recommend is that you check and see if the same things happens with your lot *sigh*.

Hello, i solved my light problems. I tried to flat the lot but it doesnt work for me. What i just did was saved my game then exit the game/quit The Sims 3 and restart my PC. When i go back to the game all lights are working now (floors are already lit). In my game im on edit town just accessing my house by build/buy mode and there's no active sim in the house.

The only problem im gonna solve is the chimney. Its still not visible in my house. I tried placing the fireplace before the roof and/or putting the roof first then the fireplace but still chimney is not visible (moveobjects off). I hope the fireplace will work even the chimney is not there.

add: my patch is still 1.3v, I think the 1.4v patch updated something on the build/buy mode but im afraid to install it coz i have lots of CCs in my game.

Mmyoko, yeah I changed the avatar, but I miss my cap. I think I'll go back to a cap sometime in the next few weeks.

And yes, the budget made this week a true "challenge." But I have to admit that I prefer the monetary constrains because it forces me to be more creative with the building materials. I should probably look into those micro-challenge homes.

Details and Rational: This week was much tougher than last weeks challenge, but I think I am more happy with the outcome. Maybe because i can actually use the shower in this one, haha. It has one bedroom, and 2 bathrooms. I really like the garden I made for her in the backyard to chat with all her friends, and most of the price on the house is actually the expensive car, but without the car it does meet the budget.
Well, thats about it. I hope you enjoy!

Experience level: Intermediate(I'm a newbie to competition, but not as much to sim house building. I built houses on Sims 2, but nothing serious. Also, I have an A. A. degree, so I have experience as an artist in choosing colors/patterns, good compositions, and such.)

Lot Name: Autumn Impressions

Lot address, size, and final cost: 1010 Cypress Lane (Riverview), 30x20, $29,813 ($119, 063 with car). I hope it's okay to put it in Riverview. I looked around, but I didn't see anything that said it had to be in Sunset Valley.

Details and Rational: For the inside, I went with more medium toned neutrals with some splashes of saturated colors, much like fall. I tried to make the colors look more vibrant by adding hints of contrasting colors (I.E. red/orange with hints of olive green). I downplayed the bedroom because I figure it's only a place for Autumn to sleep. Unlike most home plans, I did not connect the garage to the kitchen, but rather to the office since she brings so many things home. I kept the kitchen simple so it didn't take attention from the living room or the dining room. I tried to keep the living room floor darker so that it adds weight and makes the furniture stand out more. I also added entertainment for Autumn's parties. I kept the partying areas small, too, because I figure the majority of Autumn's parties will be work-related dinner parties with coworkers. When I colored the fireplace and the bathroom, I pushed the reds to have a hint of purple because it adds a bit of contrast to bring out the yellows and because purple sometimes appears in fall flora. For the landscaping, I went with evergreens to make it look more like fall because there are no trees with fall colored leaves. I placed some simple bushes, a dirt flowerbed area, and a few weeds because I figure with her work, Autumn doesn't have time to garden or weed, but would want the opportunity to do this. I changed the chimney so that it blended with the house. There is also a patio for her to mingle in the summer.

Experience level: Advanced

Lot Name: Suburban Hill House - 2BR 2B w/office

Lot address, size, and final cost: UGH

99 Landgraab Ave
30x30
29,998 before car, 35,500 after red Prius was added

Details and Rational: Wow. So I see I'm not the only one who though her demands were a bit much for the budget, but I do love a good challenge. I put half of the rooms in the basement. The garage is under ground as is the office, second bedroom, and unfinished second bathroom- I figured if she wants the second rooms so bad she can spend more money when she gets it. HAH!

So the upstairs is the main bit- and open floor plan with as large a kitchen as her budget allowed, table with 4 chairs for guests, livingroom with TV, and a unique stairwell to the basement. The Master bedroom and Bath were merged because of the request that the fireplace be between them, I'm guessing so that she can watch the fire while bathing or sleeping- this didn't work well with the wall restrictions so I simply made that part open and gave the toilet it's own room. Everything is red, orange or yellow, but lively.

I do miss having money to landscape- a tree would have been nice, But I downgraded the bathtub and large windows around the office sliding door to get a bushy tree and some flowers. Since I posted the story you can see the pics that way, otherwise I'll have a few at my upload thread: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/87628.page

Everyone has done such a wonderful job with this challenge! The innovative ideas that have sprung from the necessity to save simoleons are wonderful! I am really impressed.

Addict, thank you so much for providing a REAL challenge! This was sometimes frustrating, but in a GOOD way. I loved the challenge and I was very proud of my home once I finished within budget. I imagine everyone is feeling this pride in their works as well, because it was hard won. So, thank you, you are awesome!

Pandachica86... your house is beautiful! My goodness. I am downloading it and adding it to my game, I like it that much. lol... As to your ranking.. I am thinking Intermediate or above with a build like that... but what do I know. hehe

[b]Details and Rational:[/b] I really enjoyed this challenge, especially the color scheme. I had never really worked with the orange/red side of the color wheel, so that was a challenge in itself! The first floor has an open kitchen/dining room and Autumn's office. It also includes a guest bedroom and bathroom, with slightly different colors as I thought I would make a couple rooms different from the rest of the house. Upstairs is the master bedroom and bathroom, with a luxurious fireplace connecting them. I squeezed in some landscaping at the end of my budget, and tried to continue with the fall colors outdoors as well. Autumn has a carport to park her sporty red car under, protecting it from the elements.

Lot Name: Autumn Cottage

Lot address, size, and final cost:

380 Mirabello Rd (Sunset Valley)
Size: 16x18
Furnished Price: $28,524
Unfurnished Price: $21,519

Details and Rational:

Well, after going over budget about 5 times on three different sized lots, I found this nice, small, 16x18 lot and went over budget a 6th time. Really? The rest of the entries make it look easy, but I had such a difficult time fitting in everything she wanted and still making it a nice house.

The downstairs features the nice open floor plan, with kitchen, living room, office and eating area all in the same space. I decorated throughout in various shades a red, oranges, yellows and browns. Autumn said she did not like florals, so I tried to steer clear of those, choosing instead, abstract prints, leaves and stripes.

The upstairs features 2 bedrooms - a master bedroom and a smaller guest room which could easily fit a child should Autumn ever marry - and one rather nice bathroom. A fireplace connects the bathroom to the master bedroom.

The outside is small, but just right for a single woman, as it is less upkeep but still offers a quiet, cozy place to entertain friends or just sit and think.

For the landscaping, I chose flowers and bushes of orange, yellow and red, with some blues and purples mixed in for contrast.

The carport is my favorite feature, owing to [b]addict1220[/b]'s wonderful tutorial.

This is the part I admittedly suck at... remembering where I get my CC. I know I used a few custom wall patterns, which I'm pretty sure came from MTS, however, I have so many this point that remember who made them is a bit of a stretch.

Lot Name: The Colors of Autumn

Lot address, size, and final cost: 2450 Pinocle Point 30x20, $29,954 furnished

Details and Rational:

The entire downstairs is dedicated to entertaining..a large open kitchen with island opens directly to the livingroom and a bathroom for guests is tucked behind the stairs. The colors are a harmony of autumn leaves...and the leaf pattern echos the color scheme inspiration. Upstairs there is a large game/hobby loft that gives this home versatility. It could turn into a work out room, game room...for more entertaining...or even become her office if she decided to use the second bedroom for another purpose. There is a fireplace between the master bedroom and bath and I placed the tub in front of it for cozy fireside bubblebaths. Budget being what it is and the garage being an "extra" request, I compromised and gave the client a carport which still offers protection for her car.

I think I'm an oddball. I prefer the small budget builds. They're really challenging and I find myself grumbling sometimes, but I do enjoy the challenge. It's also not as overwhelming for me. If I have a big budget, then I feel kinda lost. I don't know where to start and usually find myself stuck between too big of a house or too small. I need to practice, practice, practice! LOL!

I think I like the small budget ones the most because I know I can build a small house, where I'm terrible at building big ones!

Absolutely post it as an official entry! We've judged from pics before and you worked hard. Go for it!

Addict[/quote]

Thanks Addict! I think I'm actually going to start over. I may need to take another peek at the budget tutorials. I'm pretty sure I can do better than the house I built...Autumn deserves some windows Thanks for letting me enter though!!

Experience level: Intermediate

Lot Name: Winters' Wonder Lot by SuperPogimon

Lot address: 240 Sunnyside Blvd., Sunset Valley Town

Size: 21 x 22

Furnished Price: 30,000 Simoleons

Details and Rational:

I am proud to say that this is my first attempt to build the house and it all worked well.

The house features 2 Bedrooms, 2 Toilet and Baths, spacious Living-Dining-Kitchen open planning, Home Office, Balcony/Barbeque area, fully landscaped with fishpond, Carport and I alotted a Garden area at the backyard.

note: The chimney is not visible but i have installed a fireplace on the master bedroom and its works fine. I dont know how to make it visible, i tried everything. The fireplace works fine but the only thing is the house looks like burning because of smoke coming out of the roof. If anyone downloaded this please try to re-install the fireplace to make the chimney visble for you. Thanx

Hi, Kirsalynne. I'm with you! You'll notice most of my builds here are smaller. I, too, get a bit too overwhelmed with the others.

Camille, Thank you for your entry. Would you mind unquoting it? I'm afraid our judges might just think you're responding to someone else's post. I almost missed it myself. So glad you've joined us this week!

Experience level: Beginner/Intermediate

Lot Name: The Execu-cozy by Mumsy BnS #13

Lot address, size, and final cost: 240 Sunnyside Blvd. 21x22 $29,942 + $85,000 for the little red sports car.
After depreciation total furnished price was 99,400.

Details and Rational:
No long story this time. I built her a house, bulldozed it. I built another, bulldozed that one too. Built, bulldozed, built, bulldozed, etc.
Finally I got a shell that was within my allowable budget for the building itself.. that I didn't like at all. Added the furnishings and layed out the rooms. Then it was time for CAS.. another thorn in my side for this build. After painting and repainting the rooms, I stepped back and was pleasantly surprised to find that I was actually starting to like what I saw. In the end, I'm pleased with the way things turned out.
I made it a one-bedroom with double fireplace (I couldn't afford the 2 sided one) to the bathroom, next to an office/computer area, which takes up the whole top floor. It's an open plan with no actual walls. I used fencing to divide the spaces. Downstairs, the open plan includes a large kitchen, living room and bar for entertaining. The stereo is easily accessable from any room. The garage is at basement level. All appliances are upgraded, most with unbreakable, fireplaces are fireproof and the oven makes better quality meals. Minimal landscaping so she doesn't have to be concerned with upkeep. There are 4 life plants and 2 flame bushes and a special seed that I'm hoping is a money tree. There was no room in the budget for curtains or paintings but I'm sure she'll want to place her own to establish her personal style.
I usually enjoy the smaller builds/tighter budgets but the specifics of this one made it tough. All in all, a very good challenge but I could have done without that darn fireplace issue
Side note: While upgrading all the appliances and such, my handy-person caught on fire and died!
Okay, the story was a tiny bit long
Credit to any simmers for custom content you used: I think the only things I used was a floor made by TnT-TJ and a pattern by KitKat..? I've lost track of some of the patterns. I've gotten quite a few when I downloaded houses that had them included.

OMG!
I finally feel inspired - been thinking about this for days...... - and have just built her house! And - get this! - it is only £13,000 with everything in! I still have £17,000 to play with! I will never get this finished on time!

I guess I just applied all my learning from Addicts tutorials that I had previously read, and BAM! There it is!

Tis 1.40am! Bed! I must to bed! And my sister goes back to school tomorrow (before school starts) so I am babysitting her kids tomorrow. Oh goodness me. They will be up soon. I really don't think I will make the deadline.... boo-hoo!

And then I have a two hour train to catch to get home.......

Any suggestions on how to keep the kids (2.5 & 6) entertained while I finish Autumn's home from all the parents on this forum????

Fingers crossed!

Just kidding.
How about give them art supplies and involve them in the project. You know, "Draw a house for me while I make a house on the computer and then we can color them together when I'm all done"

Or get some M&Ms (they are international, yes?) and let them make pictures with them. That was one of my kids favorites. No glue though!

Edited to add that actually, duct tape is one of my youngest daughter favorite things. She makes so many things using it.. bracelets, wallets.. she used to make little dollies and such

Lot address: 18 Maywood Lane (I think.. the empty lot costs $1,200 at any rate)

Size: 20x30

Furnished Price: 30,000 simeleons exactly (not deliberate!)

Details and Rational: I wasn't sure about this build at first - the colours and suchlike - but I really liked it in the end. I did use the Bedscalibur style of furnishings and it looks quite nice. I enjoy the challenge of building within a budget! Um. I'm sure I had many more interesting things to say here, but I've forgotten them...

Experience level: Intermediate/Advanced

Lot Name: Autumn Delight by Kitkat

Lot address, size, and final cost: 72 Water Lily Lane, 20x30, $29,972 before playtesting

Details and Rational: I have a love/hate relationship with this challenge! I loved it because I enjoy being challenged by a strict budget build. Hated it because I had a really great idea for a build on the cliff overlook lot, but I couldn't make it fit the budget and still be happy with the result I really needed that extra $1700 I was paying for the view. I had to start completely over to get my submission result. But, I'm going to go back to finish my other lot with less strict requirements (no double sided fireplace!) so that I'm pleased with it . And, this was another inspiration house (from Southern Living) I wanted to eventually build, so it all worked out in the end.

I made a house that Autumn will be able to throw parties in (tested that out in game!). Although small on the inside to save money, it has large outside living areas. This includes a downstairs entertainment deck with dining table, stereo, grill, and bar. I was also able to incorporate the requested garage in the basement. I tried to use her requested color scheme as much as possible, although I did sneak some green in upstairs. There're evergreens in fall, right? I weighed a 2nd bedroom against a separate study and opted for the bedroom to give the house wider appeal. My study solution was to place it in the upstairs landing. It's still somewhat private for Autumn but not as expensive as another room would be.

Credit to any simmers for custom content you used: I used one custom pattern that showed up in my game after I downloaded a bunch of houses one time. If you recognize your pattern, please let me know. I'll credit you in the future

Duct tape...
(Addict takes that down for her 7th period class...phew, what a handful! :lol

Stu, I'm so glad you decided to give it another go! And only 13K?! WOOT! If you don't make the deadline (I had messed up, it's not actually until WEDNESDAY night, so maybe you can sneak it in at the end), still post and let us know and I know everyone will rec your work like crazy. We have such a supportive group here.

Congrats to the others who have finished. I am starting to get caught up on rec's, and I'm hoping to be all caught up tomorrow. I have also started on a second home for Autumn...I'm liking it better than the first. Hoping to share it sometime this week.

Entry Update

I have updated my week 13 entry to fix 2 minor issues I found while playtesting. One was a chair sitting in the bathroom which I removed.. The second was that the interior wall of the office had no wall covering. The wall covering from the rest of the office was applied to the interior wall. Cost now is 29,855 before adding car, 34355 with car.

I'm not so happy with the interiors as I just couldn't get the colours that I wanted to show properly. I wanted to try and keep the colours light given what we were given for a colour scheme so there is a little bit of cream and grey that snuck in but I hope Autumn is alright with that.

I had some time and I love budgets! So I decided to try one time and if it worked out in one turn, I would participate. And I got it from the first time! I really didn't had much trouble dealing with the budget, but I think it's because those tutorials from Addict and all other budget saving tips I picked up on my way through these forums. I even had enough to spend on a golden bath, 2 golden sinks and 2 golden toilets! . I must admit that I hated the price of that fireplace! Because of this, I didn't had much money over to do the landscaping. So I had to be creative and do something I normally don't do a lot: changing the terrein levels! I'm really scared using those because I find them hard to deal with. But I think it came out good. So I hope you all enjoy this build!

Hi Ciaracaff! It's actually pretty easy. The challenges start and end on Wednesday evenings. Go to the [url]http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/21728.page[/url] main thread and Addict will update it to link to the newest challenge.

To enter, just create a lot that meets the specifications of the challenge, upload it using your uploader, and then fill out the form that's the second or third post in each challenge thread.

Good luck! Looking forward to seeing you!

*sigh* I don't think I'm going to enter. I wanted to re-build but I just don't think I'm going to have time. I've been teaching pre-school all week, not to mention BG's first game is Thursday and I've had to do a bunch of last minute marching band stuff for them, so boo hiss. Thanks to all of you for being so supportive!! I WILL enter one of these challenges for real, I promise - even if it IS just via pictures!

argh I haven't had any time to even play sims this week :'( very sad
I did doodle my house plan during class though
I think there needs to be a special Sims Day where everyone takes a break from school/work to play Sims... lol.
So far the entries I've seen are pretty awesome.

Drat - I just realized I didn't use the cheapest fridge.

I spoil my sims too much- I could have done something with that $300.

oh well... *snort*

I'm loving all these homes! So interesting to see the different outcomes.

Experience level: Advanced

Lot Name: Apple Cider Townhouse

Lot address, size, and final cost: Built on 380 Mirabello Road (16x18) for under 30k

Details and Rational: Autumn's stage in life is something I'm sorta familiar with, so I decided the perfect type of housing for her would be a townhouse type build rather than an actual house... something that isn't too traditional, but not ultra modern either. Since she's focused on her career and social life, she'll have less time to take care of a big yard, so I gave her a little side garden instead that is very low maintenance.

There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in this townhouse. The 2nd bedroom and bath is on the bottom floor with the garage and has been furnished for an office / guest room setup. Knowing Autumn, she may just have a guest that has had one too many drinks and needs to crash at her place! The top floor features a very open floorplan with extra high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows to let in a lot of natural light. The master bedroom has an open feel too with a 2-sided fireplace, per request, dividing the master bath and bedroom. There are even 2 balcony areas where she can do some outdoor entertaining.

Lot Name: Falling Leaves, a House for Autumn

Lot address, size, and final cost: 330 Oak Grove Rd., 114,941 with sports car; 29,941 without

Details and Rational: I wasn't sure what "classic lines" meant, so I hope that my lot meets that criteria. The interior seems a little monochromatic to me, but overall, I'm happy with it. It was fun to build, and I will enjoy seeing what everyone else built.

Tfbob!

Having seen some of your fabulous builds over the last few weeks, I would highly recommend you enter at a higher level. I would suggest either Intermediate or Intermediate Advanced. Take your pick!

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Tfbob — GMT

Thank you Anjubee! This is just my second entry and I had no idea how to determine where I should be. If you think I should move up then I will. I think I better just move to Intermediate.

I'm pretty sure I rec'd everyone's entry now. You all did an amazing job! We turned out some nice houses for the exchange in the process.

Good Luck Everyone!

Lot Name: bns13.marty38. A Home for Autumn

Lot address, size, and final cost: 240 Sunnyside Bld. Sunset Valley. 21x22 $30,000 (without car)

Details and Rational: I wanted to build Autumn an elegant home on a budget. I went for basement rooms rather than 2 upwards stories as I felt it suited the small lot more. This is my first basement build. This is a Brits interpretation of 'preppy' so sorry if its way off the mark,lol. When I added the bar I realised the build was $30,000 on the nose, coincidence not good budgeting though.

Store downstairs bathrrom, mirror and stove. It says more on upload but I think I changed a lot of those.

Hi

Also I meant to ask, I notice on some uploads the default shots show furniture. How do you get furniture to be visible on the default pics??

I do change the cover shot but not the others, and I wondered if you need to change your pics, or is there a setting to make it visible on the default pics.

Thanks

Well, the exange pictures shows all furniture that's outside. So the ones that aren't in a room. The rooms the game think are rooms. A room is a space complete surrounded by walls. So if you have a room in your house that doesn't competely surrounded by walls, the game thinks that is outside and the furniture will be shown.

Lot Name: Autumn Falls BnS week # 13

Lot address, size, and final cost: 18 Maywood Lane Sunset Valley, 20 X 30 $29,997.00

Details and Rational: I wanted to build a home that would suit Autumn's needs as best I could. I do feel that it is spacious enough but I think she should have spent less on the flashy car and more on the house

Credit to any simmers for custom content you used: There are several custom patterns but I'm not sure where I got them all. I know some came from a lot that stuartjames3011 uploaded.

Ummm... I have a problem!

I can't make a story because I have no time to. I am going out today. Do u think it's possible because my house is finished and ready that I can enter my house in without pictures? I would really like to enter the house but I don't think I will be able to make a photo story in time for the deadline.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters

Anjubee — GMT

Thank you, Scharry!

Aquahorse, just your lot is fine if you don't have time for pictures. The pictures are mainly just for everyone else. All the judges need is the lot.

[b]Lot address, size, and final cost[/b]: 91 Landgraab Ave / 30x20 / $24,048

[b]Details and Rational[/b]: I really enjoyed this week's challenge! Well, building 4 failed shells wasn’t too much fun… but ever since I got the 5th one to work, I really enjoyed it. The main reason why I enjoyed it so much was because of the color scheme. Some of Autumn’s favorite colors are quite intense and it was refreshing for me because I never really tried using intense/vivid colors before in my previous builds. It’s a one story house with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, bar, office, carport and a tiny veggie/fruit garden patch. The main entertaining area is quite spacious and the extra bedroom is perfect for her friend or co-worker to spend the night in.

The results get posted about a week from now. When a challenge closes all the judges get their judging done ASAP and the results are usually posted the following Wednesday. So as this is Week 13, look back in a week when Week 14 closes. Maybe you would like to enter Week 14? If so, here's the link:

Everyone's houses look really good. I couldn't enter because I came home too late to enter it. it was already 9 when I came home. Lol.

Where can I get the proud partcipant of the build n share signature? Is it avaliable for everyone?

I find it ironic that my "throw away" house that couldn't stay under budget got featured. LOL! I just finished it because it was already mostly done and posted it... weird.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

[quote=actwrightbec]I find it ironic that my "throw away" house that couldn't stay under budget got featured. LOL! I just finished it because it was already mostly done and posted it... weird.

http://www.thesims3.com/assetDetail.html?assetId=1113476

PS... quick question. We were required to have that fireplace, yes? Or was that just a suggestion?[/quote]

I believe and greatly hope that it was a suggestion! And congragulations being featured!!!! I want to be featured some day, haha!

Thanks again, Dieter. And congrats, Bex! Sorry for my delay. Internet is hit-or-miss for me right now.

i can't wait for the Autumn Winters Challenge results

... so excited to see it

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

Kirsalynne — GMT

Awww, was hoping for results today! Will be refreshing the forums (when I can actually get ON them) often tomorrow!

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

scharry03 — GMT

Wow, i sure hope they come up soon, too! Maybe an hour from now?? I dont want to have to go to bed and wait all night again, and it's 10 here, haha.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

Anjubee — GMT

Eeek, don't wait up, you guys! Addict should already be in bed! Last I heard from her earlier today, she was still waiting on 2 judges. She will probably post whatever she has tomorrow.

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

scharry03 — GMT

If this one's late, does that mean next weeks will likely be even later, from having to catch up, or how does it work?

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

Daenelia — GMT

It's okay, I think we all understand. I just hope that the internet issues are resolved, because it's kinda quiet without addict around. But even if internet connection is not the issue, real life has a way of getting in the way with organising things online.

I think it is great how this challenge has been going on for 14 weeks now! omg, that is a huge accomplishment.

*waits patiently*

Re:Build-n-Share Week 13--Autumn Winters NOW CLOSED

Anjubee — GMT

Week 14 should be fine. There was some miscommunication with Week 13 with a replacement judge, but that has been sorted. Also, addict has been having internet issues all this week, so she may not have had the opportunity to post anything up today.

We really apologize for the wait!
