Title: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Mootilda on 2009 October 03, 22:33:46 This month's lot is the European Townhouse from the base-game lot bin.
(http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/ciane/homes/Screenshot.jpg) (http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/ciane/homes/snapshot_00000005_77d224d0.jpg) (http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/ciane/homes/snapshot_00000005_d7d224c5.jpg) Amazingly, the lot edges are already flat. I've packaged the lot and attached it here, for anyone who's lost their copy. Rules, cut and pasted from last month: 1. No CC. Please indicate expansion and 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. Monthly rules: 6. Bonus points if you can keep the upstairs balcony intact. I'm open to suggestions for other bonus rules. Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Prosthetics on 2009 October 03, 23:45:37 I don't really like foundations. Are we allowed to take it off of the foundation? On second thought, forcing the foundation may be more of a challenge. For bonus points, I'd recommend keeping the little balcony. It can be expanded but not demolished.
Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: chobeegal on 2009 October 04, 07:15:47 I don't really like foundations. Are we allowed to take it off of the foundation? That's just the opposite of me and my question last month. I like foundations and raised mine onto one. One reason I prefer a foundation is you have to have one to make "wrap-around" porches, like you see on older houses (Cracker style) here in the south. Another reason is it allows for expansion down rather than out or up. Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Sipu_von_Sapu on 2009 October 04, 08:50:20 Good choice for house improvement! Let's hope there will be active participation. Can't wait to see what people will come up with. :D
*runs off to the drawing-board* Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Mootilda on 2009 October 04, 18:19:56 How would you remove the foundation?
Move the ground level back up to the road level (so that the house is 3 stories instead of 2), replace the foundation walls with normal walls, and put the front door on the previous foundation level? Or, were you thinking about just rebuilding the house from scratch without the foundation? Either way, I'd say that it's OK to remove (or add) a foundation level, if you feel that it's necessary for your vision. Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Prosthetics on 2009 October 04, 21:49:13 Well, yes, I'd be rebuilding it. But I think I'll just end up doing one with a foundation and one without a foundation.

Works great as a place to stash extra small families, couples, and extra sims. 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3 livingrooms, 3 kitchens. 3 cribs included to enable procreation when using the AwesomeMod story engine.

I also like a downstairs bathroom. This home can now accommodate a large family. It has three bedrooms and three baths in addition to a separate dining room. There is lots of room to maneuver and doorways can be changed to lockable doors. (Keep in mind that is a base game house, so a lot of extras such as rugs were not options.)

Good layout, looks very playable. I like the colours a lot. Actually, I had a similar idea myself about the porch and balcony. Ilikecoffee: Such sweet colours, I love them, and a great idea to make a row house. It looks charming, but does it fill the lot completely? I don't play TS3 but maybe I should give it a go. :D Ciane: I like your symmetrical layout but would like a door out from the kitchen. The rooms are nice and airy and big enough for the sims to move around freely. There's something about the roof though...hmm... roofs can be problematic sometimes. In general, I don't understand why the game defaults the trash can by the mail box. As a rule, I move it somewhere close to kitchen door or out of sight anyway. In RL, I wouldn't want such an ugly thing right in front of my main entrance, but the sims don't seem to mind ;) Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: haifen on 2009 October 10, 22:16:00 Ilikecoffee: Ilikeyourhouse :D Though you stole my idea, I suppose it wasn't creative anyway since the lot is called "European Townhouse." Not that I'm knocking your house, I mean. Very cute colors, totally getting a painted ladies vibe but now I don't know how I'll redesign the lot now. I suppose I could make a TS2 version as actual apartments.

Let's hope my google-fu isn't too rusty. ;) Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Prosthetics on 2009 October 11, 04:08:45 I got around to building one of an unknown number of entries today. I'm happy with it for the most part, but it lacks bathrooms ;(
And the backyard is just some brick porch area and it isn't very exciting, but there's a pond.

It looks charming, but does it fill the lot completely? I don't play TS3 but maybe I should give it a go. :D There is enough room left over behind the houses for small backyards. I used one of the 20x30 lots with the building facing toward the longer side. Ilikecoffee: Ilikeyourhouse :D Though you stole my idea, I suppose it wasn't creative anyway since the lot is called "European Townhouse." Not that I'm knocking your house, I mean. Very cute colors, totally getting a painted ladies vibe but now I don't know how I'll redesign the lot now. I suppose I could make a TS2 version as actual apartments. I'll need to put red lights out front before I can move in the painted ladies, but we'll leave the light on for you. Why not make more row houses? It's not like I did anything more than slap the building down and build two more just like it; I'm sure you can come up with something much better. Thank you both for your kind words, and since I completely neglected to comment earlier, I adore the interior decoration in Minena's home. Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: chobeegal on 2009 October 11, 16:06:10 ...it lacks bathrooms... Whazup? Are you trying to usurp Emma's position in Pes's affections? :D Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Prosthetics on 2009 October 11, 18:09:26 Not at all, it's just that after I was already done, I realized there was only one and it would've looked weird to just add a single room for a bathroom. It's pretty apparent by my past houses that I prefer 3+ usually. :p
Comments on other houses coming soon. Can't wait to see your entry, chobeegal. If you're planning on building a house, that is. Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: ciane on 2009 October 12, 00:07:24 Prosthetics - I like the way you changed the front door location and made a symmetrical house.
Ilikecoffee - I like those storybook doors and windows. Your Easter Egg theme goes well with them. Minena - I like the way you added those two bedrooms and a bath upstairs. (Why no sink in the added bath?) I wish there was more room around the table and chairs in the kitchen and I would like a downstairs bath too. Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Bugger on 2009 October 12, 03:58:36 First house I slapped together and still kept it very small.

If you're planning on building a house, that is. I've got one nearly done, but both ciane and Bliss kinda ninja'd me as did Ilikecoffee on my first idea! I guess I shouldn't be surprised since the front kinda screams for being "symetricalized" (I know that's not a real word but it's the only one that fits the needed discription).Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Jorganza on 2009 October 12, 17:02:44 Ah what the heck, what's another row house?

Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Yecats on 2009 October 12, 20:31:17 If you do use CC, make sure you post a version as close to the orginal with EA stuff as well. Or post a list of the CC used so we can recreate it if we want.
Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: ciane on 2009 October 13, 01:37:25 Bliss - I like that rock with the creme siding. It is a great combo.
Jorganza - The second house is really great this close to Halloween. It has the perfect spooky look. All the row houses look great and deviate from the others in a truly unique way.

Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: bestofsmall on 2009 October 14, 23:45:38 Hi everyone,
These are all such awesome houses! I've downloaded all the houses from this and previous House of Fail challenges and I'm having a blast redoing them all. I made a Dorm for this one but have no idea how to post the pics so here's a link where they are http://www.box.net/shared/qkuxvhilch (http://www.box.net/shared/qkuxvhilch) and the lot is in the same folder . I hope it's okay to do post it this way ? Edit : forgot to add games I have : uni, NL, OFB, Pets, Seasons, BV, FT, AL , Teen Style ,FFS ,Glamour & celebration thanks Jorganza & Chobeegal , I got the photobucket one and it worked !

Download links please? I haven't finished decorating them yet, and I've been sick the past couple of days so I haven't been in the mood to finish them. If I feel better, I'll have them decorated and posted this weekend. And how's your makeover coming along, Chobeegal? Usually you have 2 or 3 great uploads already. To bestofsmall: Very nice dorm!

It has symmetry without the mirror image effect. Nice!
Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: chobeegal on 2009 October 27, 00:17:10 OK, here we go. Finally! Mine this time has a very tropical theme. It is 4 bedrooms, 3 & 1/2 baths spanning three floors which includes a Master Suite in the walkout basement. The walkout basement opens directly onto a patio in the sunken back garden. I don't know if the CC I used is actually technically CC since it is pulled and adapted from Castaway Stories (and Life Stories too, I think), so it is originally Maxis produced, but I used it to achieve the true tropical effect I was going for. The "dining room" is actually an open verandah overlooking the back garden. Even in Florida (most of it anyway) an open air dining room would not be feasible a good part of the year, but I think it would be fine in the Carribean islands, Hawaii, or Mexico. It's probably too much for slower machines to handle. Here are pictures:

I know others have done the RowHouse thing this month, but this was a personal challenge to myself to make something I would really like using only Maxis EP and SP stuff without even any recolors. I thought if I could do it why can't they? I will admit to succumbing to temptation of using CC in two things shown in the pictures, the nursery curtains and the bedmatching rugs, but those are not critical to the design and easily removed (which I did do for the upload). Oh yes, also for playtesting purposes, I used the Simlogical StayThings and Transport shrubs as well as Numinor's slot thingy and Menaceman's light fix, all of which were still installed when the pictures were taken. I have no idea if this meets Awesome Specs, but apartments have only one desk, contain a nursery, and have toilet facilities on both levels. I am also uploading the version with the little bit of CC still in it in case anyone wants it that way. So with no further ado, I present The CandyFloss Rowhouses; 2 bedroom (+ Nursery), 1 1/2 bath apartments; with large communal basement recreation area.

At 4AM I was not at my sharpest. Yeah, definitely not the sharpest tack in the box at 4AM, as I now see that I forgot to put in all the windows in the front! Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Liveangel on 2009 October 29, 09:03:25 I decided to team up colonial exterior with a modern interior in this attempt at an AwesomeSpec house. This was not originally planned to be symmetrical, however, I discovered that the One Desk area was too small. Additionally, I regret that I did not get a shot of the back, but I can fix that. Anyway, on with the picspam:

I would have attached it there, but I was afraid it would make the post too long. The CottonCandy Townhouses (as I call this version) are expanded to include a third floor Master Suite and the former Master Bedroom is now a children's room with the connecting door to the Nursery removed. The former single child's room can now be either a guest room or remain as a child or teen's room. Also, the parents no longer have to share that tiny bathroom with their offspring! I am posting only pictures showing the major changes.

At first glance this (Bon-Bon Villa Townhomes) might look pretty much the same as The CandyFloss one insofar as layout goes, but there are some significant differences. In the Bon-Bon there are two good size bedrooms in each apartment, each with its own bath. Each apartment also has a private front and back garden as well as a private basement recroom. The apartments are also staggered rather than in a straight line. There is a communal play ground at one side of the lot. This is just something I wanted to try out, and I think it came out pretty well, though it definitely would have worked better on a wider and deeper lot. There is just a tiny bit of CC in this, but very little. Just Numinor's slot thingy, Menaceman's light fix, and Silent Lucidity's Walk Through Blocks is all I can think of.

I would post something, but none of my choices have flat lots and I can't flatten them. Is this thread now dead, died, deceased?
Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: Prosthetics on 2009 November 06, 14:48:34 Oops. I have not been paying much attention to MATY of late, to be quite honest. I will go searching for some houses and ensure a base game build (though I may need someone else to take care of the specifics.)
I think what I mean to say here is that I will suggest a house. Hopefully soon.

I would post something, but none of my choices have flat lots and I can't flatten them. Is this thread now dead, died, deceased? If you suggest a lot, I can easily flatten the edges before posting it. Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: chobeegal on 2009 November 07, 04:09:33 Watervista Palace has annoyed me ever since I "found" this "hidden bonus lot" in Belladonna Cove. It has no visible support, hanging in the air like some huge treehouse wannabe with no entry doors and almost no windows. My bonus rule would be to leave hills and trees in lot landscaping (amazingly the lot edges are already flat).

Oh my.
This one should do, I think. It's obviously in dire need of a make-over.

Where in BC did you find this monstrosity? Title: Re: EAxis House of Phail: October 2009 Post by: chobeegal on 2009 November 23, 07:24:21 It's the "hidden" lot right at the top of the lake. You need one of the camera edits to see the game to the edges to "find" it. There are a number of the camera edits available on MTS. I actually forget which one I am currently using.
