EAxis House of Phail: November 2009

[twooflower]

I'm really late with this, but I really wanted to start participating again.  Here is my attempt at improvement:



It's a residential lighthouse.  It has 5 bedrooms - each with its own bathroom plus an additional full bath by the nursery and 2 half baths.  The double nursery is on the second floor.  The house isn't up to Awesomespecs, but it does have some of the features.  There are a lot of doors that can be locked to keep visitors somewhat contained.  I have thoroughly playtested it for over a week, and it wasn't too bad to play with all the floors, IMO.  With a few exceptions, most of the interesting stuff should happen on the bottom two floors.  The cost is $72,195.  I have all the EPs, M&G, Celebration, and Family Fun.

I'm going to share the rest of the pics as clickable thumbnails:

Twoflower, I like this a lot. It's original and innovative. Also, by sticking with it being residential, it is smaller and more usable for the average player's game. As much as I am awed and impressed by Jorganza's and Erry's gorgeous and ornate productions, I think they are probably too "heavy" for most players to actually use in game. Even my PC with high gigs of RAM somewhat moans, groans, clanks and complains under them.

Thanks chobeegal.    I struggled for a long time trying to come up with something to do with it.  Being so high in the air and round didn't give us many good options.  I was also really impressed with what others came up with to do with it - some beautiful entries.

I got way to frustrated with the general shape of this house, so I'm throwing in the towel. Octagons are not my strong point. Hopefully the next house is moar....inspiring.

Any suggestions for houses that you find inspiring?

I suggest Minor Manor from Teen Style Stuff, it looks absolutely hideous... even though my vote won't be taken in due to being a 12, so yeah.

ETA: A few bonus rules to it could be

1) Leave the porch
2) Leave the willow

I think Teenage Turf is a major ugly piece of phail shit. I'm not too concerned whether any one else agrees or not. I don't think the lot is flat though.

Flattening the lot is easy.  Making it available for people who don't have Teen Style Stuff is harder.  Can it be remade as a base-game lot?

Update:
Both lots look easy to remake as base-game.  I vote for Teenage Turf, because I like one-story houses.
