Title: Annann's house, to be ridiculed as necessary.
Post by: Annan on 2007 June 01, 22:39:56
My entry in the building contest of awesomeness.

House for at least six sims and pets. Built on 40x30 lot, lot value §109,049 fully furnished (but not properly decorated, as taste is highly personal). The house has two floors, barracks upstairs. Two double bedrooms, two singles, and four bathrooms + shower facilities upstairs.Everything interesting downstairs, including easily accesible One Desk. Dining area seats six, but can be expanded to seat eight. Nursery included, with adjoining bathroom for stinky toddlers. Staircase is easily shut off from unauthorized visitors as it is located behind doors.

The garden has a pool, a fishing pond and plots for gardening, as is marked by the soil-colored tiles (I opted not to put in "real" soil, as previous attempts to do so on downloadable lots has bloated the lot size). Plenty of room for orchard trees and other out-doorsy stuff.

View from the front of the house:

My bribe is a king-of-times-past-style portrait of Pescado himself. I would send it, although I doubt I would be given any sort of adress to send it to, so instead it will be given to him on the internets. Painting merits can be found here: http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/4801/522300202894616/1600/z/567691/image-upload-8-739047.jpg (http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger2/4801/522300202894616/1600/z/567691/image-upload-8-739047.jpg)

ETA: Built with all EPs, no SPs except GLS.

EDIT: Fixed Pescado's objections to design. Lot value is now §110,889.

EDIT again, because I suck: Proposed new bribe: Pics of me impersonating select cat macros of Pescado's choice. Guaranteed to be made of hilarity. (Apperantly, I'll do anything to get a good rank in this contest).

If Annann will make some fakecats, that should boost her in the judging considerably.

I would love to make fakecats, but I have no fake cats to take photos of. :/

Have you no small relatives from whom you can steal soft toys?  ;D

Not really, my closest family is delightfully child free. :)

This is the first house. It therefore functions as benchmark and receives a 1.0 in all technical categories.

Bribe: 0.3
Functionality: 1.0 (benchmark)
Scenarios: 1.0 (benchmark)
Cost Effectiveness: 1.0 (benchmark)
Expand 1.0 (benchmark)
Physics: 1.0 (benchmark)
Aesthetics: 1.0 (benchmark)

Technical: 1.0 (benchmark)
Total: 0.72

Correct Behaviors
Level Edges - Will Not Damage Neighborhood
No Physical Anomalies
Nursery Located Near Kitchen
Anti-Wolf Fencing
Short Distance For Mailbox->The One Desk
Visitors Adequately Confined To Viewing Deck
Kitchen Firebreak & Visitor Raid Defense Good
Expansion Room Adequate

Correctable Issues
Uneven Bathroom Service Quality - Should Replace Tubs->Showertubs
No Buffer Zone Around Driveway/Parking - Can Cause Issues When Boarding Vehicles
Garden Plots Are Irregularly Sized: Should Be 4x4, 4x2, or 2x2 to optimize sprinkler coverage

Fundamental Flaws
No Garage - Car Alarms Pesky And Annoying
