Build-n-Share Challenge #192-193 • University Roomies
It's the start of a new week, and you settle into your desk with anticipation. Mr. Du Trieuex was thrilled with his new get-away apartment, and you are excited to delve into the next design challenge. Rose bustles in with a thick file and drops it onto your desk with emphasis.
"Drop everything - this is your next client," she says excitedly.
"Who is it?" you ask as you begin to flip through the file.
"Not WHO," she tells you, WHAT - it's Sims University!"
"The University?" you ask, a bit puzzled.
"Yep." she confirms. "The Housing department is looking to diversify into the off-campus housing market. Not every sim wants to live in a dorm, after all. The head of housing figures that the University can make a good bit of money and maybe stave off a tuition hike for the students if they can get in on this market."
"Hmmmm...." you muse. "I can see the potential there. What do they want us to do?"
"Well, they're thinking duplexes with small, two-bedroom units. They figure they can buy up some of the older homes near the university, demolish them, and put several duplexes on each lot."
"Well, that would certainly provide them with a nice, new revenue stream," you agree.
"Here's the best part," Rose continues. "They've randomly chosen four sims from the incoming freshman class - two girls and two boys to live in the first duplex. They want us to design and decorate it for the students. They're hoping to get a good buzz going with some promo pictures and word-of-mouth advertising if the students are pleased with their new digs."
"Ah, sounds like an interesting job," you agree as you start looking at the information on each student. The University has included their admissions applications as well as the personality inventories that they use to match roommates in the dorms. Rose quietly backs out of the office and leaves you to your work...
The Students:
Yasmin Alves: Over-Emotional, Artistic, Brooding, Neat, Eco-Friendly
Kimberly Colston: Good Sense of Humor, Hopeless Romantic, Born Saleswoman, Excitable, Flirty
Enzo Carvalho: Eccentric, Genius, Computer Whiz, Hates the Outdoors, Night Owl
Danny Maroon: Natural Born Performer, Rebellious, Great Kisser, Star Quality, Virtuoso
Design Brief:
*Create and decorate a small duplex with two bedrooms and one bath in each of the adjoining units
*Can have a small outdoor area, but keep in mind that Uni sims will most likely not be doing extensive landscape upkeep
*Furnishings should be stylish, but not extravagent - these are Uni students, after all.
*Should have a small kitchen with room for 2 or more to eat
*Common area should include lounge and study options for 2
*The four bedrooms (2 per unit) should be decorated to reflect the personalities of each of the four incoming freshmen.
*Lot size should be no larger than 20x20
+Budget: 70,000

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes please. I know there is not a ton of décor but I kept it simple as if you were really a new student going to college and starting the first semester. It will not be lived in yet. the duplex's will all be standard paint floor plan and just a few of the sims touches.
