More Awesome Than You!

This is built on a 3x4 lot and costs §194,125. 3 Double size bedrooms (Fully furnished with 1 double bed, 2 kids beds and a nursery),  2 full bathrooms and 2 w.c's. Large kitchen/dining area, large skilling area and large living room. Seperate garage with room for workbenches, and has a pets corner. Greenhouse (no sprinklers so you can earn your gardening badges!) Orchard and pond for fishing. No pool cos they are an annoyance. If they really want to go swimming, I send my sims to a community lot. :P Ditto with the hot tub, only my romance sims have them. No foundation cos it is annoying the way puppies, kittens and toddlers can't go out to play in snow/leaves etc. Attic room is set up as a games room but can be converted into 2 bedrooms if needed. Room to build upwards. I forgot the flamingo.
Requires Uni, NL, OFB, FFS, Glamour, Pets and Seasons. No CC, awesome or otherwise is included. If you have the invisible driveway you can change the driveway, I've placed tiles underneath.

Bribe. I will create a whole neighbourhood including terrains, downtown lots, community lots, uni lots, businesses and residential (furnished and unfurnished) houses. I will also change my username to Mrs. Gilscarbo and have an avatar of Goopy for all time.

Heh. I notice that Seasons has finally made Emma relent on her previous "no grass anywhere, anytime" policy of house exteriors.  :D

Can we have some interior veiw shots, please?

I miss my concrete! :D

I'll post some more interior pics asap ;)

Added pictures in a handy zip folder.

I notice that, as usual, Emma's houses are a tad light on the bathroom capacity.

2 full bathrooms and 2 seperate toilets. I wouldn't say that is 'light'. You have a toilet fixation Pes. :P

/me moons Pescado, 'cos he SUCKS!

I see only one bathroom located on the lower deck. Naturally, this is not enough to handle the party crowd. With enough bathrooms, Brynne might even not pee on the floor!

Now we wouldn't want to prevent that, would we?

Usually when I have parties I pop a couple of the toilet stalls against a temporary wall in the garden, then remove them again afterwards. I hate having hundreds of toilets everywhere 'just in case' I have a party. So now you know. :P

To be honest, I think the first Emma-house may have been better.

I think it probably was too. I liked my basement in that one. Thing is, I don't tend to use foundations anymore cos of the stupid puppies, kittens and toddlers all clamouring to get outside, and I don't want to make a bullshit house that I'd never use. Everything I build is in my 'hood, being played with. (Actually they are in my 'hood being played with before I post them, just to make sure they work)

Love the house Emma.. but the bribe takes the cake.  That is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time..  Good luck, Mrs Gilscarbo  :D 

Heh heh, do you think I'd bribe that if I even thought I'd have a chance of winning? :D

I think you might have miscalculated. Personally, I think that bribe is so awesome, you just might win.

Don't you have to pony up the bribe if you become a finalist, before the winner is chosen?

Ssshhh..  ;)

Nooooooooo........ :o


I can't do that, cos I haven't anything else to bribe...apart from cookies or chocolate cake ;D

I thought this also. (Actually, it was, "Yikes!")  I eliminated design whoring entirely from my bribe because there was no way I was going to top that.  Good luck!

No, I think they are on about the 'Mrs Gilscarbo' bit of my bribe ;D

You can keep your Emma, because otherwise people would get confused when I keep calling you Emma, but I have a special Goopy avatar design just for YOU!

In Soviet Russia, avatar chooses YOU!

Heh, I momentarily forgot that part, but 'Mrs. Gilscarbo+unbelievable design whoring=victory!"  That is, unless someone wants to offer large sums of cash, perhaps.  It will certainly be interesting to see if anyone can top it all.

I've never seen a toddler "clamouring to get outside" even in Seasons, and besides, there are no useful toddler things outside. So they can stay in their pit.

Puppies and kittens, I find, are best when LEFT outside, so that they don't pee on your floor and can thus be housebroken faster as their only options are all outside. Otherwise their sheer numbers and slow movement are liable to clog hallway arteries and render even an otherwise well designed house impassable. Plus, they're small and the tall furniture objects easily block you from seeing them, and they're cute to watch snuffling around in the yard. Besides, you needed one of those huge pet houses to have them in the first place, and those go outside also.

My toddlers always want to go outside and play in leaves and eat snow :D They look so adorably cute. So it is me being a softy really. You can always disallow pets indoors. Lock the door.


Yes, but only if I win :P

Correct Behaviors
Level Edges - Will Not Damage Neighborhood
No Physical Anomalies
Visitors Adequately Confined To Viewing Deck

Correctable Issues
Kitchen Not Sealed Blocked Off From Dining Area - Should Add Seperator Wall And Door
Uneven Bathroom Service Quality - Add Shower To Lower Bathroom
Nursery Area Small - Placement of Objects Awkward
Nursery Cannot Handle Twins
No Food Source In Nursery - Too Far From Kitchen
Computer Placed Sideways On Desk: SSX3 annoying you, Emma?

Fundamental Flaws
Nursery Not On Viewing Deck
No Anti-Wolf Fencing
STILL only ONE Visitor-Accessible Bathroom - Inadequate Bathroomiousness Becoming Clear Trademark of Emma!

 :D Didn't notice that-don't quite know how I did it!


 :P

Let's hope simEmma and simBrynne go flatting in one of simEmma's houses.  :D

Sim-Emma doesn't have a bladder problem ;D Should be fine...

I'd like to point out there are 2 bathrooms on the second floor (1 is en-suite) and one in the attic area too. I've set up the house so that the second floor is lockable and private, but guests can go straight up to the games room in the attic if you wish. You just need to keep the stairs locked on the ground second floor.

[edited] 'cos I am stupid.

OK, playing with Macrotastics for a couple of days, I can see exactly where I've gone wrong with this house and I agree with you about the bathroom thing Pescado :D Expect a more awesome-type entry next time :P

And naturally, you agree that Macrotastics is Awesomesauce and you can't imagine how you lived without it, yes? Death to Emmas.

I especially adore the awesomeness that is College Rampage ;D

All Pescados Suck.

Geez, get a room you two.   :D
