Challenge #165 - Ryunoten, Attorneys at Law
Thursday, 30th April Midnight CMT
The intercom beeped at your desk, startling you out of concentration. “Ah, yes Rose?”
Hearing the faint quaver in your voice, she suppresses a snicker and says “Your 4:30 is here. Shall I send them back?”
“Um, yes. Go ahead.” You manage to recover your dignity, making sure to save your work carefully, before there is a polite knock on the door. You stand up with a smile, as a man and a woman enter the room.
The woman is lovely, with a mass of coiled copper braids pinned at the back of her neck and large soft colored eyes. Her willowy figure is clad in an lady like business suit of sky blue. Following her in, his hand gently on the small of her back, is a handsome man that could only be described as Prince Charming with an Asian touch. His blonde hair is slightly longer than custom and his equally sleek frame is clad in a slate grey suit that compliments his companion’s. They make a very stunning couple, an impression confirmed when he holds his hand out, “Michael Ryunoten. This is my wife Evangeline.”
You shake hands with a smile, “Its lovely to meet you. I understand that you’re both lawyers?”
Evangeline smiles, a soothing gentle smile that relaxes you even further, “Yes. Michael specializes in business law. I have been fortunate enough to be hired as a new district attorney here.”
“Congratulations!” you say, offering them both something to drink.
“Thank you,” she says, locking eyes with you for a few moments. With an oddly sleepy wonder, you realize that her eyes are slowly changing from one pastel color to another.
“Jesus is an old friend of mine,” Michael says, startling you out of your sleepy hypnosis, “He recommended you.”
You smile with pleasure, “So you’re looking for a house?”
Evangeline shakes her head, sipping at the tea she requested in place of coffee. “Not yet, but definitely we are going to consult you about that later. We are staying at Jesus’s home and we love what you have done. For now, we are more interested in asking you to build us an office.”
“Not a problem,” You click your pen and prepare to take notes, “What would you like?”
“2 separate offices, but in the same building, as we share a legal library,” Michael says, “I’ll be taking clients there, so I’ll need a lobby and/ or reception area. Dream will be primarily working at the Courthouse, but when she’s not there she needs to have some place to work.”
“Dream?”
She smiles fondly at her husband, “Dream is my nickname. My maiden name was Keeper.”
“Ahhh. And what would you like in your office?”
“Oh, the usual office accoutrements. If you could include a comfortable couch and decorate it in restful colors, I would be very satisfied.”
“That’s easily accomplished.”
Michael speaks up again, “We want to be close to the center of town, but have a more suburban feel to it. I want people to feel comfortable and at ease coming to talk to me. Oh, parking, and landscaping…I think that’s everything. Sweetie?”
She thinks for a few moments, ticking off points on her fingertips, then smiles. “I think that covers everything.”
“I do have one question we haven’t covered.” You smile, “What budget am I working with this?”
“Well, since its not a large office we’re looking for,” Evangeline says, gently setting her tea cup on the tray, “We set aside $80,000 from our budget. Will that be sufficient?”
“Should be fine.” You rise and shake hands with them again, “I’ll get a contract emailed over to you by tomorrow night.”

OPTIONAL CHALLENGE: Not included.
LEVEL: Intermediate
LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: Lot Size: 30x30
Address: Final play test on 12 Scuba Street, Island Paradise.
Final Cost: $80,000
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS:
Theme: Modern, but welcoming. This lot is designed to fit in the in-between of the suburbs and urban big city. The building boasts floor to ceiling windows, plenty of natural lighting, oak and brushed nickel accents, and a relaxing color palette. Random selection has it placed in IP, but could easily fit into any city.
The first floor includes a reception, waiting room, conference room and public bathrooms. There is a front reception desk for support personel to welcome clients and collegues into the building. The expansive waiting area includes three short couches, a digital display, a java station, and a library. The conference room seats up to eight sims and includes a digital display for presentations and demonstrations. Two single use bath rooms are located down the hall from the conference room, each assigned to a separate gender. Emergency signage and exits exist at the front and back of the building.
The second floor includes two offices, two private baths, one outer hallway, and one shared records room/legal library. Michael Ryunoten's office is set up for receiving clients, with a desk, computer and guest seating as well as a mini conference area for consultations with clients. Evangeline Ryunoten's office also has a desk, computer and guest seating, but a couch and living chair in place of a conference space.
The exterior includes the AC unit, electrical, parking, building sign, exterior lighting and landscaping. There are six parking spaces in the well-lit lot. Landscaping includes a bed by the front entrance, fully green and fertolized lawn, and a planter that wraps three sides of the building which doubles as fence and window display for the floor to ceiling windows.
The lot is set as no visitors allowed, but would function well as a library, hang out, java hut, etc.

LOT SIZE, ADDRESS & FINAL COST: 30 x 30. 38 Van Glen St. (Roaring Heights), $79,956
LOT DESCRIPTION & DETAILS: I'm into 3D lots so had a bit of fun with this one to create something unusual. Since Michael and Evangeline are lawyers, their office represents the scales of justice. The main floor reception desk welcomes their clients who can also go along the right corridor to freshen up in the washrooms before meeting their lawyers. To the left of the reception is the entrance to the elevator. The middle block of the second floor houses the visitors lounge and a snack and bar area great for cocktail and fundraising parties. Michael and Evangeline's offices are to the left and right of this area in separate wings. The top floor houses the shared library and research area.
Have your Sims purchase this lot as additional real estate - you can use the 'motherlode' cheat code to give them a 'loan', lol. If you set the lot type to Library lots of sims will visit to quietly read. To host parties, you can set this as a Park or other appropriate lot. I have Into the Future so I assign this lot as a Business Park. There usually is a lineup to purchase food so you might want to add a buffet table
