Build-n-Share Challenge #147-148 • Spring Designer Showdown
Calling all designers! It is that time again! Time to let your style truly shine and compete in the Spring Designer Showdown! If you are a veteran of BnS, you should already be quite familiar with these design challenges. The challenge here is not building, but taking a blank shell and deck it all out to the best of your designer abilities! Don't waste your time trying to change the architecture, because you will not be able to change the walls and roofing of this house!
We saw some amazing results and even some featured lots with the previous Showdowns, so lets ramp it up even more this time and dazzle the masses with your designer magic.
This is the house - click to download!
(***DL HERE if you don't have Generations)
http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv225/Kitkat7145/SDS.jpg
Like some of the previous Showdowns, you will be choosing an inspirational object from below (all from the base game).
http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv225/Kitkat7145/objexts.jpg
You will choose ONE of these items to use as your inspiration to decorate and furnish your house. In the end, when the judges look at your media, they should know which item you chose just by looking at the way you decorated and furnished. Please also include the object you chose somewhere in your house and be sure to have it in a screenshot. You cannot duplicate the item you do use as your inspiration.
Requirements:
* You can change anything but the foundation, walls, and general roof shape
* Yes, all walls, foundation, and roof shape must remain the same
* You can add, delete, change, and relocate any windows and doors
* You can designate the rooms however you like
* You can't change the roof shape, but you can change the texture and color
* You can add fireplaces
* You can change, add or delete any columns and fencing
* This must be on a 30x40 lot
* The final cost of the house should not exceed 100k simoleans
* The theme is completely up to you. It does not have to be spring themed
* You do not need any expansion packs to compete (The original lot uses spiral stairs, but there is another version HERE)
* CC is allowed, but please list/link/credit them when you submit so downloaders can find them!
Ready... Set... GO!
