EAxis house of Phail: May 09
« on: 2009 May 01, 19:55:40 »
THANKS THIS IS GREAT

By a quick but popular vote, this month's house is:
4 Danish Drive from University, remade as a base game lot by ciane (thanks!)

Lot attached here is ciane's lot with edges flattened, CC removed, and compressed.





Rules copy and pasted from last month:

1. No CC.  Please indicate stuff packs so people who wish to download your lot know what to expect.  Pictures are required, either available for download, on a slideshow, or posted in this thread.

2. By entering this challenge, you agree to take constructive criticism.  If you wish to judge someone else's entry, you should be respectful but honest.

3. Your lot does not have to be Awesomespec, although it is encouraged.

4. You may move internal walls and add external walls but you may NOT move original external walls.

5. Lots may be furnished, unfurnished, or partially furnished.  You can even upload both furnished and unfurnished versions.

Bonus rules:

6. Leave the space between the buildings intact. You can connect the duplexes in front or behind the original walls, but can't join them together in the middle.

Does that mean no joining them together on an upper floor (while leaving the ground floor space available)?

I agree entirely! Seriously, what were they thinking when they made that lot?

Ahh, never mind. Probably the same thing they were thinking when they came up with the idea for the cowplant.

No, you can join them together on the second/third/whatever floor, just not at the ground level.

I have another question. I am an airhead, remember?
Can I put a foundation there for a raised deck, as long I don't enclose it with walls, or is that going against the spirit of leaving it open?

It's probably breaking the spritspirit of the rule, but this isn't a contest. It's a challenge, so if you feel like breaking it we can't stop you.

Edit: Fixed the typo. Damn typos.

A sprit is spitting while stretching into sexual positions.

How do you not know that?!

6. Leave the space between the buildings intact. You can connect the duplexes in front or behind the original walls, but can't join them together in the middle.

Does this also prohibit building a second story above the gap? (You'd have to build in underneath temporarily in order to place the walls all the way across, but it could be done.)

Heh. Reading comprehension for the lose. Thanks.

Hm. The separate buildings present an interesting challenge. I think I'll actually try and keep them separate for now, see how far that gets me.

I kept to the spirit of the rules and placed a sprite in my garden.
I thought two people sharing the house would benefit from sharing a kitchen, so I added more space in the back and gutted the place.
See the slideshow:

Download if you wish:

(It has the phone controller attached. I shouldn't have put a phone in. So use clean install to unclick that. I will reinstall without that and package it again next time I load my game.)

Home Away From Home, a simple community lot. I decided not to extend the buildings at all, but I did gut and rebuild the interiors. If you wanted to buy it and own it as a business, you can expect to be set back around $57,957. I have play-tested it, and everything works.














Download it here. (I have ALL EPs and SPs.)

What a lovely house, ciane, and Faizah, I've liked everything I see you post.  You both make me sad posting my insanity.

Aforementioned insanity: http://www.box.net/shared/pxb9z1ngt5
This is my backup copy - I re-uploaded it to the site, let me know how it works.  I think that when I removed the phone line controller the first time and hit "Save As," it did a weird thing to the package.  I may have misunderstood how to use that option, I do apologize.

I created a community lot too.

Pics:

We have on the right a pool, on the left two hot tubs, and the front entryway is lined with small ponds and a few places for lovers to cuddle.






The front hall is done up in flame wallpaper (keep in mind this entire house is an experiment with items I don't usually use, so you'll see mostly the repetitive wallpapers here) and dark wood accents.  The white double doors lead to the bathroom, the pinkish-red door leads to the restaurant side.


Behind the camera in the left wing we have the sports/birthday party room, brightly colored, probably giving the poor employees headaches after too long in there, hehehe.


The room beyond that is what I have nicknamed Hippie Party.  Similar purpose as the Sports room.  Easier on the eyes though.


The last room on this side is the poker room, with beer/snack fridge and good luck frog watching over all gamblers.  Muted lighting to protect your cards from sneaks walking to said fridge.


Back through the front hall, we now return to the restaurant.  More ridiculous colors, but it was a lot of fun to make.  Same with the retardedly green kitchen.  I think they both turned out rather nice.







- - - - -
This started out as a residence, and I may yet post the home version of this.  I wanted to put this one up in the meantime, for your party-on sims.

---Edited to fix pics.

ciane, that is pretty neat. i like the shared kitchen - it reminds me of posh dorms with everyone having their own living space but having to share a kitchen.

faizah, the wild and wooly look is great! and i like the glass box columns on the right.

pentabet, it's asking me for a password on the slideshow.

*snags both*

Here's my offering for the month. It costs about $93,000 and has room to sleep 4 plus a crib. Dining area seats 6, with four more in the sunroom. I've got all EPs and SPs but HH. Scanned with Clean Installer and playtested for a little bit to make sure sims can move around.

faizah - I love the cream colors. What a nice community area!

pentabet - I bet you have to change your picture setting from private to public.

grimtuesday - I love the walkway connection and the red trim. Nice.
