Faizah I love the look, very nautical with the round windows and what look like ships rails. Would be very nice at the beachl.

Wow, some amazing houses! Love the casbah one, Minena.. and Kattenijin's woodsy one, (I'm a sucker for forests).
You guys are so fast! I moved some Sims into mine, and kept playing them while building. It IS a fun house to play!
Just wondering now how to make the witch cauldron stay behind when I move out, so far I've moved the Sims out 2x, and each test move made the cauldron disappear. Maybe if I kill the Sim.
Ah well, it doesn't really HAVE to have the cauldron.
Here's a pic of mine, still in progress. Should be done in a day or two.

Mmmm, very witchy cottage. If you find out how to make the cauldron stay, do please let me know, I'm also making something for witches.

I'd be interested in finding out if killing the witchsim or all sims would leave behind the cauldron.

ok, I did it. Got the cauldron to stay, with no killing of Sims involved.
I made my lot a community lot. My witch Sim bought the lot. She went there and left some test items: cauldron, money tree, witch light, and some crafted flowers. She went home, and sold the lot. I turned the lot into residential. All items stayed!! Yay!
I even did a test packaging, and placed the lot back down, items still there. So I'm assuming one can leave just about anything on a lot using this method.
.. back to building!

thanks, I hadn't noticed that since I have unlockers for career rewards and such I thought the plaques were part of that...I have never used simPe...so i have no idea how to make any changes to it

This is my entry, it is §79k furnished, no CC and has 1 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. Living room, kitchen, separate dining area. Desk is in living room, stairs not closed off, but can be easily done. No nursery included this time. On the second floor there is a games room area. All EPs/SPs used. I will add more pics when I properly playtest this evening. Pics are kinda dark, sorry.

Emma, that back-garden fence is a good idea. In my lot, no matter where I put the back door, everyone visiting plus the paperboy/girl uses that as opposed to the front door. I put it in the most ridicules place, and visitors still used it! Like as if they live in Holland, where nobody uses their front door.

I always fence off the back door when playing as I can't stand things being dropped there. I don't usually fence the front garden off though, unless there is something there I don't want guests messing about with. I don't mind pets digging up the ground as that is the only way I get my sims to dig for stuff. No holes-no digging!

I have a horrible feeling this is going to be a clone of what's already been posted, but here goes nothing.
Dundreamin House comes in at $112,627. It would have been a little dearer if I'd remembered to put in a phone. It's a two-bedroom, three bathroom house. Ground floor accommodation includes lounge, dining room and bathroom, all open to guests. In addition there is a private kitchen, and large nursery which could be converted into a decent en suite bedroom when reproduction is no longer required. Entry to the family's private accommodation is via the gym, with stairs to the first floor. There is a master bedroom with bath/shower room en suite, a twin children's bed and bathroom, and a large family room.
I'm not sure if this meets the letter of the law or not. The path is there, you just can't see it for all the paving.
Sample pictures:

File cleaned by Clean Installer. Countertops and bathrooms cleaned by Traveller family testers.
ETA: I've got all EPs, and no SPs apart from M&G.
[Having now read the thread, I can see I did mess up with the path requirement. Have kicked the cat, and feel better now.]

I'm enjoying working with a smaller lot for a change so I thought I'd post a picture of the work in progress. I've gone a bit back to front this time and finished the exterior before really starting on the interior so it's a lot less finished than it looks! It'll probably be a couple of weeks before I can complete and upload it as I must stop being distracted and write an essay for uni.

Now this is why I never put anything up. Dear Goddess can one be any more intimidated right now? Oh well, before the end of the week I guess.
@Faizah and chobeegal - I figured it would require patience which I lack, but I'll give it a shot the next time, thanks!
@SalixTree - yoinking immediately! I think I have all your entries in game. If this is a little intimate cottage I'm going to be SO happy.
@aubreylaraine - off topic but your avatar always makes me smile.
@emma and jim - see: intimidation
@eevilcat - I really need to try those roofs myself one day.

I think this month's title is a misnomer, I don't know how phail a house can be when it inspires so much beautiful work. Anyway, here is the first of two remodels that I've done. The second version, which is actually the first one I started on, needs to be furnished and playtested before I upload it.
1097 Stars Boulevard
Third Floor/Attic:
Finished sewing/craft room, half bath and unfinished space that is currently being used as a makeshift game room/ballet studio.
Second Floor:
Master bedroom with attached bath, common bathroom, teen room, child's room and small double twin room for guests or sims who don't deserve their own bedroom. There is also a central common area with television and stereo. The space above the first floor living area is open, but can easily be closed off into another room.
First Floor:
The open entry has the One Desk, piano and the main living/reading area. There is also a nursery with attached bath, a large kitchen/dining area and an enclosed porch for skilling/storage.
Yard:
Fishable pond, space for a small orchard or garden, and plenty of flowers to keep a nature sim happy (and sweaty) for hours.
Disclaimer:
I playtested it a bit with a large family, and fixed all the issues that they turned up, but I know I forgot the burglar alarm. I have all EP's, SP's and most of the store items.
The way I did the roofing makes the lot look like total crap in the neighborhood view, just in case that's something that you look for in a house.

Okay, I have got to get M&G now. There's so many of these houses I want to download and can't!
Plus, seeing the beautiful gardens everyone's made makes me want the stuff in my game.

I didn't want to look at any houses till I'd finished mine, so I wouldn't find myself copying other people's ideas. Now I have looked at them all, it does look as if this month's going to be great. It's amazing we've got so many good lots already. What stands out to me is (are?):
@Jorganza: This will look good in my Japanese hood. They're all Tai Chi experts, so they'll be flocking to your pagoda to show off. It has a really sumptuous colour scheme.
@Emma: I can't believe you can get all that for $79k. That's within reach of your average brooding bachelor. It's so moody - and so made for pleasure.
@Batelle: This is definitely my favourite. I usually like to play big lots, but you've somehow made this little house feel big. It looks very liveable. That blue and white bedroom is just lovely.

Ooh, I just realised what you were referring to -- the round things are lights. I just put them all the way up on the exterior because I thought they looked nice.

Anyway, the real reason I'm posting is because I've made another already... I present to you,
1097 Castle Court
. It costs 56,862 simoleons, thanks to the magic wand. I may have gone slightly overboard with the trees...

Interesting comment. I
always
do the exteriors first. I just do a rough room layout inside so I know where to put windows, check the doors, then do all the exterior of the house. Whether I do the house interior or the gardens next really depends on my mood of the evening, I often alternate.

http://community.livejournal.com/thesims2/6049797.html
This tutorial explains an amazingly fast and easy way to decorate lots with career rewards and unlockable items such as the witch cauldron, and upload them without need of moving out or killing the sims living inside. I built a laboratory and a school set a few weeks ago and was able to upload them without losing the biotech station, the cowplant and all other career rewards I used to furnish them.
