Recently I drew a ROS for a family to live abroad for 3 years. Ok, that's a lie. The ROS was for the wife to leave the husband, but this couple are ALWAYS in the bed thanks to ACR and ALWAYS walking about in thier undies-even when the kids have friends over for dinner-a bit embarrassing if you ask me, but I digress. Since this couple is rock solid, I decided to chose another option in the ROS. The ROS is actually "Your family decreases" and it choses one of six options. So I chose the live abroad option. After brainstorming how and why the family would live aboard I then had the task of creating a dwelling place for them. The best part is that since the house is provided to them at a discounted cost I could spend a bit more than usual.The spoiler for the ROS is that the family moves to Kimikura for thier time aboard. As an additional teaser, here's a preview of the home. Those who follow the Apple Valley families may be able to determine which family is moving away, but since the home is a traditional Kimikurian home and decorated in that sense, it may be a bit difficult.
Anyhoo, without further adieu, here's the tour of the new home.
Entrance of the home flanked by two statues rumored to bring good luck, health and blessings to the occupants of the home.
The foyer features space to put mail from family and friends back home in Apple Valley.
The kitchen/dining room is a cozy spot with bar, plenty of open shelving, bright green curtains and effecient kitchen layout (opps, I forgot the sink! Need to add that!)
The living area is sectioned into a comfortable seating arrangement for watching TV in Kimikurian (with simlish captions!) or chatting about the new culture. There is a desk area for emails, business reports and research, school work and basic bill paying and list making.
Upstairs are three bedrooms
one for each child. The oldest one insisted on plenty of room to study, especially with university so close, there isn't time for studies to go lacking.
The master suite has a private bath and balcony with room for a tea table and private tea ceremonies. ----
Did you guess which family is going to leave Apple Valley for a little while?
Beautiful home!! Just gorgeous.
ReplyDelete-SH, Thanks. Sometimes I think my building abilities are lacking especially since I use mostly Maxis and don't know most of the cheats that other simmers use to make wonderful homes.
ReplyDeletewhat terrain are you using for your Tiki Island? I really enjoy your blogs and it gave me courage to start my game again and actually be able to play!
ReplyDelete-so, I use Amber's Journey's terrains for my vacation hoods. I use Paradise Island for my mountain hood, Ellis Island for the asian hood, Kimikura, and Emerald Isles for the tropical hood.
