EAxis House of Phail: August 2009

This month we are going to pretty up this house, Cozy Co-op, from Family Fun Stuff. I don't own that stuff pack, so I rebuilt the house from the picture, using Anygame Base game. I couldn't make out what was on the 2 tables, so put whatever in there. Doesn't really matter, does it?
The base game rebuild is attached below.

Gah. The lot doesn't have flat edges. I went through half an hour of trouble to fix the lot edges.
*edit* see what happens when I start one of these threads? There's a flattened edge lot a few posts down, on Liveangel's post. Thanks Liveangel.
And photos from my rebuild:
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 rule: Keep the two big flowery shrubs where they are.
(I've never started a thread here before.. little nervous)

Is there some reason that you didn't attach the lot directly to your post?
I've attached it here for now.
Otherwise, you did well; thanks so much for rebuilding the lot so that everyone can participate.

It's absolutely hot here in the south, so I'm bringing something a little bit colder.
Home for the Holidays.
View without snow
Living room filled with Christmas decor.
Dining/Kitchen
Single room
Master Bedroom.
Edit: Ok the file is uploaded. Sorry for taking so long. I had to decorate everything again because I didn't know moving a sim out of the house using boolprop still made the objects disappear.
House is around 71K and uses all EPs and SPs.

I went through half an hour of trouble to fix the lot edges. On the plus side, Base game starter provided me with some delicious nostalgia.
The file is attached.
Crap, turns out I wasn't really successful. Sigh. I'll attach the new one when I finally get it to work. For now, I'll leave this one here.
I've finally got it to work! At least I think so. Whew.

Minena, I love the "beachfront" blues you've used as your colour scheme, and the courtyarded front bush/tree is an eye-catching and attractive feature for the front yard. Nice work!
ETA: Jorganza, your house is stunning, all trimmed and covered with snow. Great decorations!

Both of those houses turned out well. The second floor really helps balance that design. I'm thinking of putting the house in Sims 3 and seeing what I can do with it there.

I am sooooooooo annoyed! I would have jumped right on this but RL has gotten in the way. I should actually say cleaning my RL house, specifically cleaning my roommate/sister's bedroom while she is out of town for 4 days. Yes it is taking
4 days
to clean it!. I don't think she has cleaned it in years. In fact I think I found a stash of Confederate money hidden under her bed. LOL If you can't imagine how bad it is/was, have any of you seen the show "Clean House"? Well that's my sister's room/house. She's the quintessential "Pack Rat/Collector" personality. And before you ask why
I
am cleaning
her
room, I swear the mess was alive and spawning and threatening to invade and overpower my room. The only thing protecting me was keeping my door closed at all times and I swear at night I could hear it knocking and scratching to get in!

You are a good sister chobeegal!
I spent the day making the house into a Sims 3 starter. I reoriented the bathroom and added a tile for the toilet. I moved one wall to make the bedroom smaller and I added a wall to enclose the kitchen. Even with expensive paintings, the place only costs 37.5K on a cheap 20x30 lot.
I know I deviated severely from the main point and I should have added a second floor for a couple bedrooms and bath. Maybe I will do that tomorrow. Anyway, if you are curious, it looks like this:

Some charming houses, Jorganza and Minena, both have lovely color schemes! Ciane, yours is utterly cute, a much improved and more colorful version of Maxis' one.
I haven't even started on my one yet, hope to get to it soonish.

Hi, I like what everybody have done with this house so far. Good work!
So here's
my version
. Playtested just a bit. Its only partly furnished only to show where I thought the different areas should be. And it has the one desk.
I 've got all the EP's and other stuff packs but don't own that FFS SP so I was pleased that you guys made the house available for me to download. Thank you.
That said, I'd like to add a small rant: I wanted to use the boolProp lockTiles false code but was disappointed to note that it didn't work. So I couldn't make the house as wide as I would have liked. Blah! /end rant.
Now to the pictures: I've made some small modifications to minor details of this house after I took the pictures.
A fence protects the garden from strays. The mail box you see in the pic is part of default replacements Avanti Entrance Set from Simgedoehns. It's not included in the download package.
The trash can is at the back of the house by the kitchen door. so it doesn't take the sims too long to take the trash out. The trash can is also from the Avanti Entrance Set from Simgedoehns.
Downstairs. You can lock the kitchen door and the door to upstairs to prevent guests from wandering. A small table is placed by the entrance door so that the sims can place their incoming mail there. I've used half walls to divide the room in separate foyeur area, dining area and tv-area. See the slide show for detailed pics! I took away the rocky fountain from the garden corner because it was a stupid idea to put it there in the first place!
Upstairs. Here's a big family room, balcony, a library and two other rooms.
All the details pictures are in a slideshow
here
.
It's far from perfect, but I hope you like it
Edit: the link to slideshow should work now.

is an attempt at an exotic home. A picture's worth 1000 words. I used Anygame Starter to make this compatible for those who only have NL and AL.

Cozy 'Chobee Co-Op
Well here is my redo. I have all EPs and SPs. This house has a negligible amount (if any) of CC. It may have a recolor or two as well as a couple of "fixes" for certain items.
There is a roof garden/Patio; The Master bedroom, 2 children's bedrooms, a nursery, and 3 baths are on the second floor; Kitchen, dining room, livingroom, and pool area are on ground floor.
Here is the link:

I love seeing what everyone comes up with each month. If this was the BBS I'd hand out benes and stars but it's not so all you get is my opinion.
Sorry.
Jorganza - Awesome.
Minena - I love the beach colors and the simple, uncluttered furnishings.
ciane - Cute!
vibble - I'm not crazy over the boxy, symmetrical look and your pictures don't show enough detail for me to find something I do like.
Sipu von Sapu - Cute! I like the stucco and siding combination. But why did you put the refrigerator and stove in that closet?
Liveangel - Cheesy! I really like the covered patio area and probably something else but I can't get past the color.
chobeegal - + 10 for color and creativity. - 15 for choking that poor house with plants, shrubs and trees.

OK, Honeywell, so I guess you don't like plants/flowers/shrubs/trees.
Are you like those people who go and buy a beautiful wooded lot (which because of the trees costs a lot more than the barren lot next to it) and then bulldoze them all out? If I had my way, those kind of people would be prosecuted for stupidity. If you want a "naked" lot then buy the one that already is. Don't pay extra money to get the one with trees and then
murder
them.
Personally I love to have lots of trees and greenery surrounding me and where I live. Rather than "choking" anything, they add a sense of freshness, "breathability", and yet privacy to a home. My one great complaint w/ Sims2 is that if I actually put as much "landscaping" into a Sims lot as I would like to have in RL, it makes the house totally unplayable.
But since you don't like plants around a house, you must really love Prosthetics' concrete landscaping. (This is not a "slam" toward your house, Prosthetics; I like several features of it, especially lthe different roof heights. I'm just not fond of concrete.
)
Liveangel, I actually
like
the color of the house. It fits with the style you have done. The one suggestion I would make is that it would look more "at home" in desert landscaping. The Hibiscus would still work, I've lived in the desert and still had Hibiscus plants.

I seriously just realized that I completely forgot landscaping. I built that house very early this morning. I think I'll be fixing that now. XD
I was trying to go for a "beach" lot, but...ahhhh...I suppose that's kinda difficult without BV

Prosthetics, this is definitely more to my taste in landscaping. I don't know how well Honeywell will take your addition of trees and plants (and grass) though LOL.
Edit: Corrected typo.
