Build-n-Share Weekly Challenge #47 - National Pride
Thread for this week’s challenge:
http://forum.thesims3.com/jforum/posts/list/224613.page
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
The vuvuzelas can be heard from the parking lot. You look at your watch and realize you’re probably a few minutes early. You decide to proceed into the hive regardless.
The room is awash in primary colors; each fan sports the jersey of a favorite team.
Your client told you he would be easy to spot. Unfortunately, he is not the only enthusiastic fan in the bunch. Still you spot him: face painted, flag waving wildly --you feel a bit sorry for anyone sitting behind him-- color-coordinated down to his shoes and laces.
This is what soccer fandom is all about.
You sit down next to him, careful to avoid the flailing arms. Only added time remains, so you decide to sit quietly.
At the half, he high fives a friend and takes his seat. It’s at this point he notices you.
You’re greeted with a high five. You can’t help but smile.
“I’m so glad you agreed to meet me here. I hate to miss a game during the Cup,” he begins.
“No problem at all. I’m a bit of a fan myself.”
“Well, I won’t keep you stuck in here too long if you don't want. I’ve thought a bit more about some specifics like you suggested on the phone, and I think I have a pretty good idea of what I’d like now.”
“Yes,” you laugh, “I figured that though the large media room will undoubtedly be the coup de grace on your bachelor pad, you might have a few other considerations.”
He laughs, “Yeah. I get a little carried away sometimes when it comes to sports. I’ll start with the media room, of course. I’d like it on the first floor. I want it to feel open, but it should be enclosed with four walls to block out external light and noise. I’d like a bar in it, too, and it would be nice if a half-bath could be attached. I’ll need lots of seating, too. And hopefully a nice sound system?”
“That should be achievable.”
“OK, besides that, I’d also like a kitchen and dining area on the first floor. If there’s money, a separate seating area, besides the media room, would be nice. Outside, I’d really love a large covered patio with a grill and maybe even another TV!”
He smiles and looks embarrassed but keeps going.
“On the second floor, I’d like 3 bedrooms with double beds. The master should be a bit larger and have an attached bath. The other 2 bedrooms should share a bathroom. It can be attached or separate from them, whatever works best. Finally, if there’d be a little spot for a computer area, that would be great. It could be in the master bedroom or somewhere else...I don’t know...I’ll leave that to you!”
“I should be able to do that, I think,” you reply.
“Finally, I’d like the interior of the home to be decorated in my team’s colors***, if that’s OK. “
“I have some thoughts about that home developing in my mind. What do you think of a contemporary style home? Did you have a particular style in mind?”
“Not really. I’m not sure what that is, but it sounds cool and I trust you!”
You think to yourself it would be nice if everyone were so easy.
You pull out your phone and run a quick search on contemporary architecture and design and show it to him:
http://www.dreamhomesource.com/contemporary/contemporary-house-
plans.hwx
“Here’s a quick description. Don’t really pay much attention to that house at the top. I’m thinking more like the one in the descriptions below about modern finishes.”
“That looks cool! You think you could do something like that for $150,000?”
“I definitely think so.”
You notice the game is about to resume. You thank your client and let him know to call you if he has any other questions.
Meanwhile, you ask him if he’d mind if you stick around for the second half.
The sound of vuvuzelas resumes.
***This week’s challenge is labelled “national pride.” Pick the colors of your country to show off in this week’s build!
An additional note: The house does not have to look just like the one on the website linked. I just provided it for the description it gives of contemporary style. You may use the look of the house in the modern finishes section or any other contemporary build you find or dream up on your own.
Additional challenges:
1. Create our soccer fan and name him. Be sure to dress him in the colors of his country!
2. The client wants the build complete for next week so it will be ready for the final game. In a story, show him preparing for the game or hosting it (yes, I know it will be a little earlier than the final match, but that’s the beauty of Sims!)
