This child aged up badly
I have had some sims that started out looking good as children and then when they entered their teenage years ... well, it isn't pretty... this one happened yesterday and she was a good child but didn't deserve to turn out looking like Curly of the Three Stooges. Luckily I put her on a good exercise program and diet and got her better CC hair and makeup and now she is looking presentable. Not like she belongs in Slingblade. yep.
One Month One World One Year Challenge 2026
Hello and welcome. :) This challenge was started by Karababy52 (see more here) and I would like to continue it on for another year if I can. Hopefully more people can join in. The more the merrier! The premise of this challenge is pretty simple. The goal is to post one in-game screenshot once a day during the 2026 year. So, kind of like a 365 project for your sims. You will start out with a teen sim and pick your starting world. I'll share a list of suggestions, but really you can pick whatever you want. Your sim will be a teen for 3 real world months, then age-up to Young Adult in April. They will spend 4 months as a Young Adult, then age-up to Adult in July. They will spend 4 more months as an Adult, then age-up to Elder in December. Each month your sim will move to a new world to explore. I've taken all the rules and guidelines here and copied them over from Karababy52's 2023 post and edited them slightly. Rules/Guidelines: One screenshot post per real life day in this thread with a short text summary. One world per real life month - See monthly schedule of worlds in spoiler below. Optional: May change schedule of worlds to reflect your preferences. Your challenge Sim MUST be a teen to officially begin this challenge and post in the thread. Exception: If you are starting the challenge late, you may begin in the current month at whatever age the challenge is at, or you may start as a teen to quickly finish your aspiration and school, then fast forward to the current age. (Example - if you start in April you may hurry through the teen stage and age up to YA, or just start as YA). After three real life months have passed, your Sim will age up to young adult for four months, adult for four months and finally, age up to an elder for December. Timeline posted in spoiler below. Optional: How long your Sim stays in each life stage, teen-elder, is at your own discretion. However, they are required to be at minimum a young adult to attend Uni in Britechester. *Note: If you own the High School Years EP, your Sims may be offered early graduation. If they take the offer, your teen is allowed to apply, enroll, and attend university or join full-time adult careers. Begin Rags to Riches style on an empty lot with 0 simoleons. Optional: Use the 20,000 starting simoleons to buy a starter home and furnish it how you want. Aging off. Optional: May use long lifespan. All unplayed residential worlds are off limits for any kind of travel. Exception: Newcrest may be designated a 'neutral' world to place venues for your Sim to use regardless of their current world residence. Optional: Newcrest may be used to replace a pack you don't own instead. Optional: Your sim may travel to other worlds not used in the challenge if they get an invitation. Sims may take a vacation to any of the designated vacations worlds. Rental lots in unplayed residential worlds are off limits. Aspirations released with a world must be fulfilled first. May choose a base game or other pack aspiration not in the challenge to complete afterward. Optional: Only one aspiration released with a world must be completed before choosing base game or other pack aspirations. Willow Creek, Oasis Springs, Newcrest and Magnolia Promenade may be used in substitution for worlds listed in the challenge for packs you may not own. In that event, choose one or two base game or other packs aspirations not in the challenge to complete per world. Your Sim may marry and/or have children. Aging up children is at your own discretion. High School attendance is not required. May use cheats to fulfill daily/promotional task requirements. *Exception: Applicable only if you do not own the High School Years EP or if you do own it, but have elected not to have your Sim live in Copperdale and do the aspirations associated with the EP in your challenge. The beginning of each new month/world starts Rags to Riches style. Optional: Your Sim may keep everything they have accumulated and use their funds to buy or build a new house, or even move their house to their new world. If your challenge Sim dies, it's game over. Optional: You may bring them back to life and continue or use another existing Sim in the household to complete the challenge. Or, keep playing as a ghost! Occult states and Celebrity statuses must be removed when progressing to the next month/world. Optional: May keep acquired lifestates/statuses. *Note: Vampires can't get a suntan, which is a Beach Life aspiration task. If a new world is released with a new pack at any time during 2026, you have the option to swap the new world with another prior released world. Give yourself a break and don't stress over days missed due to internet outages, vacations/holidays, real life work/responsibilities or sickness. Extra story screenshots may be posted, but try to keep it to around 5-10 max. There's no limit for screenshots shared on your blog. May use satisfaction points to buy rewards. Exception: Money tree seeds are disallowed. Lottery tickets are disallowed for purchase. Beginning season, length of days and moon phases are your choice. May turn off or cheat away/change all Eco Lifestyle features applied to worlds. Exception: Must be turned on while living in Evergreen Harbor. May participate in all default Holidays, modify, delete and/or add your own. May include a link to your preferred Blog site with additional story text/screenshots, in addition to your Daily Post Pic/Text Summary. Mod friendly challenge! However, please use discretion when using them. Using a mod to fulfill an aspiration is disallowed. Exception: May be used to correct bugs and/or glitches. Worlds/Packs and Age-Up Timeline: *Note: Feel free to replace any pack you don't own with one of your choosing! Beginning Age: Teen January - Copperdale (Highschool Years) OR Nordhaven (Businesses and Hobbies) if you choose to do Copperdale third (I just feel like starting with it).

Can't wait to play with you :)
Creek Tales - A Pack Legacy Challenge (updated 06/14)
When Maxis introduced the option of turning packs off and on in game, I was wildly tempted to create a Pack Legacy Challenge for the game. Of course, someone else already did, but as usual, I'm all about creating my own rules based on my own playing style and play badly when others dictate my game, which of course means I'll make the rules up as I go, still there are a few basics. Basic guidelines I intend follow: I will start with an entirely base game family, the Creek-family (introduced below). They (including the kids) are generation 1 of this challenge. With every new generation at least one new pack (EP, GP, SP or Kit) will be unlocked. That generation then has to truly explore that pack, meaning jobs, looks, decorations, aspirations, traits, skills even deaths should be explored to the fullest by the sims born in that generation. The exception is seasons, which will be unlocked as the oldest child of gen 1, Willow, ages up to a teen. Which pack that will be unlocked will depend on the first trait given to the first child in the next generation (so a family orientated child will unlock parenthood or growing together, depending on which have been unlocked before). Some traits only unlock kits. In that case the second trait given to a child of that generation will unlock a pack. Some kits will also be unlocked with a specific pack if it feels like a good combination, like country kitchen with cottage living or industrial loft with city living. And some rules (yes, even I have a few rules): All traits are to be given randomly, with the exceptions being that a sim of a new generation MUST take traits of a newly unlocked pack if there are any, randomly if there are several. When every trait of the newly unlocked pack is assigned to a sim in game, randomness for all available traits are allowed. When the first child of the next generation receive their first trait, true randomness applies as that will dictate the next pack to unlock. A new pack is unlocked when the oldest child of a generation ages up to teen. No CC is allowed, a part from the occasional ad-on pack (separations of items already in game, matching chairs to a sofa or more window options). Even add-ons should be kept to a minimum. This is after all about exploring the packs to their fullest. Mods are allowed, but not those that significantly adds gameplay options (such as career-mods, new aspirations, traits or new gameplay). The purpose here is to explore the options of the packs after all. For me, myself, I intend to start out only with BetterBuildBuy and MCCC and try to keep other mods to a minimum (that lasted less than an hour, there are simply too many things I cannot live with in game, but the aim is the same, keep mods to a minimum and no mods that adds gameplay). As for the rest, well that's up in the air still. I plan on starting with aging on normal, but as that is very new to me, I might change that to long instead as I've never managed to live with normal age span before. Either way, adult lifespan will be about twice the usual length for how else are they going to be able to see their kids grow up and have kids of their own? And with that I think it's time to meet our founding family. As with The Whittaker Saga I will write the post in a blog and post the links here. Link: Meet the Creek Family
Cantrell Chronicles RESET, Part One
The Shaking of Foundations, a Cantrell Chronicles RESET, Part One_ Chapter One [With minor revisions] The call came in the dead of night. Reaching an arm out from underneath the covers, Joseph groped for his cellphone on the nightstand. “This is Joseph Cantrell,” he said. The voice on the other end was unfamiliar. The man introduced himself as Walter Noel. “I’m your uncle’s . . . lawyer. I’m very sorry to bring this news to you. But the old gent deceased last night. Kitchen fire.” Slowly, Joseph unwound himself from the bed covers to sit up. “So, he was still able to care for himself at his lofty age.” “Oh, absolutely, in fact he insisted. Said he’s always been on his own and it would be a cold day in Hades were he to surrender himself to the care of another. Not even his valet. He often went down to the kitchen to make and get his own coffee, too. I guess old habits die hard. Pardon the phrase.” “That sounds like Uncle Joe. Capable to the end, except for the fire.” “Yes. We were all very shocked, didn’t see that coming. Listen, I’m calling because you have been named his sole-beneficiary. Your father’s sudden death left a vacancy, some years back. His next younger brother, Joseph, stepped up to fill it. Joseph was meant to be regent, since he was to care for Aaron’s children, getting them ready for the role they would fulfill in the future. It should have been you on the Throne and the nation wouldn’t be facing all of this now. But he insisted you were still much too young and dare I say, immature, in his estimation.” “He was right on that. I enlisted in the military shortly thereafter, which helped me to become a man. Saw a good chunk of the universe, as a result. My service also enabled me to fund my college education, the GI Bill, revised and renewed. A great deal of good came out of it.” “Yes, His Majesty spoke of you often. He couldn’t have been more proud of you were you his own son. You’ll be pleased to know he’s made some changes to the estate that I do believe you will approve of. It is beginning to take the shape of a proper home, as it were. “As the eldest, the crown is yours. Joseph had no issue and yours is the proper line of succession, as your father’s firstborn son. Although in the interim, Alexandra has stepped in where she had no place. But such is palace intrigued. You get the dwelling, the property and the horses Joseph the First left behind. Also, the contents of his bank account. Your uncle was a very rich man. You are required to attend the reading of the will. How soon can you get here? And, of course after DNA testing there will be a ceremony to cement your position.” “Yes, of course. Can’t be too careful, I suppose. And I am also aware of the steps of Nobility I need to fulfil beforehand, too.” Joseph ran a hand over his head, catching the stray wisps of dark red hair unleashed from the tie that held it together during his slumber. “Two months at the earliest. We’re currently residing on Vulcan.” “Vulcan! He told me you were far away. I didn’t anticipate off planet. I shall postpone the reading, then. Since no one else is mentioned in his will, and there is no one else who can or should step up, we have that luxury. We just have to do something about Alexandra, you understand. Get you properly inserted as the head of the dynasty. It could cause disagreeable feelings toward you, which I regret. Nothing more disruptive than unrest in a dynasty. Your siblings, of course, will also be there. In order to help facilitate a timelier arrival, I shall send the royal space vessel to pick up you and your family — is two weeks time enough to get your affairs in order, sir?” “We will make it work. Thank you for calling.” Joseph quietly ended the call and set his phone aside. Early, the Vulcan sun not yet up, he was tired, but expected not to sleep, even so. At least now he understood his feelings of unrest, most recently. Most of his children, in varying strength inherited the psychic abilities that ran through his noble family. Hearing a slight noise, he looked toward the bedroom door. *~~*~*~~*~~* “Dad, what is it, what’s wrong?” Erik said, stumbling groggily into his parents’ room. His father was seated on the edge of the rumpled bed, his mother surprisingly fast asleep. Must have taken a sedative, the boy thought to himself. For the first time in his young life, his father looked on the worn side. Haggard. A tad older, as if he suddenly carried the weight of the world on his shoulders. “I do wish I understood just how you do that. Know something is wrong without anyone having to tell you.” Erik merely shrugged. “I’m not as astute at it, as my dear sister.” Clearing his throat, Joseph said, “It’s your Grand-Uncle,” Joseph said, struggling to get the words out, lest he give into the grief that battered the back of his eyes. For all of the old man’s faults, Joseph loved him dearly. His uncle was a caring and affectionate force in the Cantrell children’s lives truly filling in where their father had left off. “The one you were named for?” Erik said. “He’s ancient, isn’t he?” “You might say so, he just had his one-hundred and fourth birthday. Last time I saw him he was still so full of life. You can’t keep that one down,” “Dad?” “Kitchen fire. He apparently tried to put it out, but his efforts were futile. Smoke inhalation.” “I’m so sorry.” “What a guy he was, though, I remember when . . .” “So you’re saying Uncle Joe basically raised you and your siblings,” Erik said. Joseph nodded, “After your grandfather passed so suddenly, Uncle Joe did come to live with my siblings and me, in the family estate. You see, your grandmother died years before, fell off her horse. Broke her neck, she died instantly.” “Oh, that’s terrible. I don’t believe you’ve ever shared that story before.” “Still so painful, losing my mother. Uncle Joe was great. He used to tell such outrageous stories.” For a brief moment Joseph Sr.’s, mouth curved into the slightest of grins. “I’m guessing that’s where you get your penchant for such. In many ways you remind me of him.” Joseph shook his head. “We didn’t know you couldn’t see well, but you made up some of the most delicious stories about what you were seeing in the picture books. My favorite was the angels dancing on the top of candles.” “Okay, maybe. -- Is that what I told you?" Erik never met the man, but he used to relish the stories his aunt and uncles shared whenever they came to visit. His father’s family was very close. He knew his dad was really hurting over this loss, too. Reaching over, he placed a warm hand on his father’s shoulder. “Are you going to be okay?” Placing a hand over Erik’s Joseph nodded, slowly. “That’s enough reminiscing for now. Why don’t you turn in and get some rest. We have lots to do, in just a few days. So many loose ends . . . before I ascend the throne,” Joseph’s voice was nearly a whisper as his voice trailed off. “What? Dad, did you say throne, what throne? What are you talking about? Are you saying we’re royals? I don’t believe it. How come I’m just hearing about this now? Why did you let me dream about my future. to become a rock star? That can’t be possible now, can it?” Erik watched his father closely, waiting for his response, hoping beyond hope his dreams hadn’t just been dashed. “Did you never wonder why your aunt and uncles always visited us all dressed up as if they had just been to Court or a fancy ball? Lady and Gentlemen. Princes and Princess, of the Royal. That’s their titles when their father is king. You, too, will be a Prince.” Erik sat on the bed next to his father gasping for breath as he hyperventilated. “Easy, Erik, slowly in and out, you’re going to be fine, I promise. Besides, you’re the Second Son, like Spock. I will permit you to pursue your dream, but there are other things I’ve been remiss in teaching you. University, for one, to make sure each of you can competently take the throne, if needed. “You’ll each have to learn fencing lest a duel be required. Archery. Diplomacy, that sort of thing. How to be a Noble. You already are a leader, I can tell.” “But I’m the second son. . ..” “As for not telling any of you — I promise I will explain things more fully when we get settled into the estate. This is a big move, you understand. A total change of our lives.” All for now, thanks for reading!
Tartosa Vacation... Proposal?!
Sul Sul! Tried something different with my current save and had sims get engaged on a luxury vacation to Tartosa.🌴😍 This wasn't my original plan, but the location mixed with the weather mixed with the vibes between my sims just made it so hard to resist spamming some screenshots of an impromtu proposal. Here's some of my favorites from their special moment.♥ REALLY looking forward to this wedding!! Maybe I'll stick with the theme and do a destination wedding!♥ Thank you for reading and letting me share the little wins in my little sims' family♥ Dag dag! *Poses are not mine, but belong to Ashlegacies ♥
The Kang Legacy
I was playing rotationally when the pre-made Kang Household stuck. So here's my attempt at generational gameplay. I've never successfully finished 10 generations because I would fall in love with sims, develop elaborate stories for them and stall the generation to no end. So here are my goals: Complete 5 generations. (I'm starting small!) Chapters are arranged by a main sim than by generation. Sims are free to drive the story, but their arc wraps up in roughly 10 chapters. If sim doesn't have a romantic partner after arc completion, stay in the same generation but with a different Sim as a focus. Same arc length and objective applies for second sim (aka get married!) The next generation proceeds through whichever sim has a partner/child. Reading: Each sim begins with an Interlude which gives sufficient info to proceed. There's no need to start from the previous Generation or Sim. Index: All Sims | All Chapters (Wordpress) Status: Generation 1 - Cecilia (Completed) Generation 2 - Charlotte (Completed) - Emma (Ongoing)
A Little Nostalgia
Sul Sul Simmers!!!! Happy Friyay!!!😁 Time is a thief and what was once new becomes old and nostalgic. But as we all say, the good old days were the best times when things were so different. Electronics have improved our lives, but it has also taken away from us too. So, I wanted to build a motel that just breathed the good old days when we would travel with our parents to these little gems and just enjoy our time together as a family. This little retro resort was built in Oasis Springs, where I feel you can build so many retro, Modern and Mid-Century inspired builds. I love how this turned out and personally, I wish I could visit it in real life...he, he. The energy was just different growing up. I remember going into rooms like this and loving the A/C on the window. You could put your face right where the air was coming out and enjoy how cold it was. The little things that would bring us joy...ha, ha. Either way, if you are looking for a build with a retro feel for your town, please find it on the gallery. I have also attached more pictures of some of the interior sections of the motel. Enjoy!!! Gallery ID: Froggy2747
I’m planning to move my legacy save into a clean new
I’m about to start the process of moving my very beloved, 41 generation Legacy save. At this point the save is 3 (actually more, I’ll elaborate later) years old and is very slow and sluggish. As well as buggy. I’m currently suffering from an annoying freezing bug I’m and it has meant I’m constantly loosing progress and feeling frustrated.I had hoped to tough it out until at least gen 50 and hope for a bug fix but the lag has become nearly intolerable and I feel constantly paranoid about every little bit of lag that could cause the bug to occur. My tree has also broken twice so it’s hard to see the whole family without a third party app like plumtree. (Which I have using for a few months now) And it will be nice to at least be able to fix the main legacy line, even though I know I won’t be able to get most if not all of the cousins. And you know after 41 generations of the same family all of the townies are dead, and I’m running out of space to build. This save has also been through so many updates that it’s probably best to start fresh, this was originally an old save I abandoned and decided to re-use, so how old it actually is I have no idea. There are also so many bug fixes that have rolled out lately that are not retroactive. So, after much debate and a lot of anxiety. I have made the decision, that while I am wrapping up the current generation. I am going to start the process of moving all of my legacy sims and some of my lots. This will mean my next generation will start on fresh save and a new beginning. So I thought I’d make a fun little post here for me to chronicle my experiences doing it as well as let everyone else share their’s! And we can all share tips and tricks with each other. Thanks for reading, and I hope you’ll stick around for the journey. P.S hope I put this in the right place 😅

JCGSpark Challenges
Welcome to the JCGSpark Community! Hey everyone, I'm JAY-CAMAROGIRL- (Jay or JCG is fine too!) and I'm so hyped to finally bring my challenge series to the EA Forums. When I'm not neck-deep in Build Mode or creating new stories, I'm a busy SAHM to 3 kiddos and a wife living in Maine. Life is usually a whirlwind of family chaos and cleaning gigs, but The Sims is where I go to relax.

It's been my creative outlet for years, and I love sharing that passion with others✨ What is JCGSpark?

Other months we're diving into CAS to create unique characters and stories. Some are a mix of both! You can choose to build, create a sim, or do both if you're feeling extra inspired! I want everyone to be able to jump in regardless of how they like to play. Stream Showcases: I love celebrating what you all make. I showcase entries live on stream for the JCG Crew so we can all hype each other up and see the talent in our wonderful community🖤 Giveaways: I like to keep things spicy, so I'll sprinkle in giveaways here and there when I'm able to as a thank you for hanging out and participating🖤✨ I'm so excited to see what you all bring to the table.

The New You Challenge (Idea)
This My Idea That Is Adapted Of The Sims 2 Video Contest Of A New Beginning On To The Sims 4 Called The New You By thesims2fan0123. I Wanted To Bring The New You Challenge Into The Sims 4! Sim Bring A Different Men Or Women, Night After Night But Not Even A Roomate Sim Can't Even Get One Girl To Go Out With Them. So This is What Is Happening To You All The Time So Stop The Rejections This Is Time For The New You Challaege, Drink a year to Irresistibility, side effects include skin discoloration of pink and unexplainable body odor. Join thousands of Sims who taken the New You Challege and Turns those not ah into ha has! Sometimes Women And Men Will Call You All The Time And Your Phone Will Not Stop Ringing, You Will Go On Plenty Of Dates. As Long As Your Taking New You, You Will Never Find A Women Or Men Until You Find One Or Not. You also Succumb to the side effects of taking too much New You.
Rancho Luna Azul/ Blue Moon Ranch
I've never posted my legacy before so bear with me. Just seems easier to share my family here and hopefully do not lose them ever again. I wish I had done this in the beginning so that is good advice for those that want to do this as well. Don't hold off because you think you can't do it. Trust me doing this is way out of my comfort zone too. This is my newly redone ranch ( original glitched out on me)and is still a work in progress. The Duval family has many years ahead to improve. For those that don't know me we have my Blue Gayle sim who after Uni married the love of her life Josh Duval (muscian/rancher) and settled down to the ranch life. Gayle is currently a teacher but is working from home and considering retiring early and concentrate on raising August and showing horses. Currently has a number of wins under her belt and tends to be a bit competitive so will be working on getting more. Family now includes baby August who will soon become a toddler. And of course my Sims4 version of Baldy and his son Maxis. They were my first horses from sims 3. Maxis my first foal. And of course his mama Sugar.

Hello, Sim family!! I fiiiiiinally finished another Simspired sewing project. I'm not gonna lie, this projects had me beat. I started it around Jan/Feb, made good progress, then came the fitting. Only thing is, the fabric I used is prone to terrible fraying. So when I tried to take it apart to adjust the size, the fabric basically disintegrated. Then I spent some time trying to figure out how to work around it so that I still have an in tact garment. Day and night I obsessed over it until I finally decided to just scrap it completely and start over again. I've been sewing for almost 20 years and very seldom does a sewing project beat me into the ground, LOL. After moths of working on the perfect garment, I present to you the newest addition to my wardrobe. A dress from Seasons... At first glance I was confused by the structure. Considering the bodice crosses over from the left side, but the shirt's front left side hem looks like it overlaps onto the back, I was like how in the plumbob does this wrap dress work?????? Until closer inspection I "decided" that this isn't a wrap dress and just a plain dress with a basic waist seam 😆 After staring from scratch I opted for a scuba spandex just in case I had to adjust the fitting again, which I did, but it was easier with the stretch fabric because I didn't have to use a side zipper for it. I love stretch fabrics for this very reason. You can make dresses that you can just slip on 🎉 I love the similarities that came out in the finished product - the draping in the bodice just above the waist seam and the gathering around the waist of the skirt. The only thing I deviated away from the Sim dress was the length of the skirt hem. Because I want to wear this dress to work I didn't think the height of the left side skirt was work-appropriate. Still, I'm thrilled with how it came out. And just with the last Sim sewing project, I just HAD to get the matching shoes. A pair of sling sandals in orange 😍 Well, that's it for now. I already chose the next garment to make. Hint... It's a blue dress from Horse Ranch. I already have the pattern set aside, now I just need to get the fabric 🤩🤩🤩

The Grove Pack Legacy Challenge (Updated 6-09-2026)
Hi and welcome to my return to sim story writing! I am doing my rendition of rosannatxt's "Pack Legacy Challenge." Below are links to Rosannatxt's Challenge and my story respectively. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Simming! I'm back after a hiatus! Generation two will be done rotation-style and in each of the three Grove sibling's perspectives. Enjoy! Pack Legacy Rules and Guidelines James Turner Disable Packs Tool ------------------------------------ To start: The Grove Legacy: Humble Beginnings Ch. 1 Current Chapter: Liam Goth 2.5 Note: Rotation is Fisher, Hazel, Harper and Liam Goth *Exception-the story gets a bit out of order rotationally starting with Harper and Hazel at chapter 2.3. However, the story is syntactically correct.Okay, Here's My Dilemma . . .
I renovated Erik's very first house --- the one that was owned by my Grand Uncle and his wife. I loved that house, but it's now been torn down, which really piqued me. Laying that aside, I gave myself permission to make some serious changes to it, at least the ground floor. I'm very happy with it, but have not played it, yet. My idea was this is where Erik and Kayleigh would live after they got married. However, things in the storyline ran roughshod right over me. LOL It does seem a king cannot really rule the country, if he's not living in it. For instance, not all of the nobles would bother showing up for Court in another world. (Confirming my decision to have King Emeritus Joseph abdicate.) So, being that there is only the one 64 X 64 lot size in all of Ondarion, I either have to replace Castle Cantrell with Cantrell By-the-Sea or place it on a much smaller lot. But then, there are precious few available lots in Ondarion. Which makes it all the more problematic. OR: I could place Nobles in the World of choice, but then again, they would lose their ties to each other, too. So now, I'm stuck, once again. The 'Sea' is calling me big time. If any of you paid attention, the kitchen was a lot smaller, since at one end was the downstairs bathroom. That's the way the original RL house was. I got inspired by a room I saw in some TV commercial and decided to try to duplicate it. As you can see the kitchen is now a lot larger, and the bathroom was behind that barrier. Also, now you really do have to go through the dining room to get the kitchen. The royal staircase won't allow passage to another door, which used to be there. Oh, well. I also remade the basement. Instead of having the staircase crowding the laundry room, I put it in the foyer. And this is the basement/Music Room So, what would you do if you were sitting on the same horn of dilemma? Move, replace or what? I look forward to your collective wisdom. Please, and thank you, in advance.
