Build-n-Share Challenge # 25 - Grandmother's House
Thread for this week’s challenge: http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/139877.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother’s house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow
Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.
Eva Kringle has to be one of the most spirited clients you've ever met. Ambitious, too. As the mother of three and grandmother of five, the holidays can be a busy time in the Kringle household.
This past year, Eva lost her husband, but she refuses to let that dampen her family's enjoyment of the season. With her husband's death, however, Eva decided she would like to be a little closer to the kids, who have by some miracle all now clustered in the beautiful Sunset Valley.
While she is willing to move across the country, Eva admits that she is not willing to give up her beautiful home that was designed by her and her late husband. She has asked that in preparation for the holidays, you rebuild her home following their floorplans (with a few minor tweaks for Eva's ever-growing family, of course!).
To honor the holiday she loves so much, Eva has asked that the interior be decorated in the colors of her favorite holiday, Christmas. She came to your office dressed in red, gold, and green, and you figure that would be a nice scheme to work into the home. While she said you could furnish the home or not, she would like all of the fixed furnishings like sinks and toilets included in the final build. Her other tough request? Six bedrooms: 1 bedroom for her, 1 room for a couple with toddler, 2 rooms for couples, 1 room for 2 girls, and 1 room for 2 boys. That should be enough to house her and the family she loves. She's hoping for lots of visits with the move closer to her family!
Before leaving your office, Eva gave you a copy of her floorplan with a few notes on changes she would like made to her new home.
Beginner and Intermediate Builders:
Eva's floorplan:
http://www.architecturaldesigns.com/country-house-plan-77293ld.asp
Please follow the outside look as well, but do not worry about the colors.
Special instructions for the beginner and intermediate builders:
Basement storage area becomes bedroom
Add additional bedroom to basement somewhere in the open area
Nook serves as informal eating area
Modify bathroom access to allow door to each bedroom (BR 2 and 3), in addition to the hall
Intermediate builders: Try to keep the patio access in the “basement” to the outdoors. Beginners may skip this requirement.
Advanced Builders:
Eva's floorplan:
http://www.architecturaldesigns.com/country-house-plan-11035g.asp
Please follow the outside look as well, but do not worry about the colors.
Special instructions for advanced builders:

Dining room becomes bedroom
Living room becomes dining room (can switch kitchen appliances around a bit to accommodate access to this room)
Please adjust bathrooms as needed to address bedrooms on this floor. Grandmother’s bathroom should be attached to her room.
