Build-n-Share Challenge # 2 - A starter for Cody Klepto
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
The day has finally arrived!
The ribbon’s been cut, the cake’s been eaten, and soon it will be time to get down to some serious business.
After a whole long week of building, decorating, landscaping, and (gasp!) roofing, your firm’s doors are finally open.
You smile as you scan the (admittedly) small crowd. Just out of the corner of your eye, you see a man you don’t recognize. And he appears to have your scissors! You know, the super-big impractical ones everyone uses for such occasions. He glances around and slowly starts backing away.
“Wait a minute,” you think to yourself. “He’s taking off with my scissors!”
As a brave sim—you would have to be to start a new business in this economy—you decide to chase him!
The second you catch his eye, he looks guilty. And sad, actually.
“Um,” he says, “hi.” He scratches the back of his head and gives you that embarrassed sim look. He quickly begins to explain. “I’m so sorry about the scissors. I saw them and just had this weird compulsion.” He sighs, “I’ve been trying to get better about that.” He reluctantly passes them back.
You should be fuming, but for some reason, you actually feel a little bad for the guy. He does seem sincere.
“I know you probably want nothing to do with me, but I’d like to make it up to you. I actually came by today because I’m moving to town next week and need a new home. If you’d be willing to give me a second chance, I’d love to have you build it for me. I’ll pay and everything, I promise. I can’t exactly run off with a house full of furniture.”
It’s against your better judgment, but you consider it. Your celebration party is not even over, and here your first client. That lucky trait really is paying off.
“OK,” you sound more reluctant than you really are. “Let’s go inside.”
You usher him through the door and into the overly comfortable chair you included to get ‘em while their guard is down.
“Tell me what you need.”
“Well, I have about 16K to spend. I’d like a home with a carport, as I’d eventually like to purchase a new car so I can drive myself to work. And I’d like an entrance to the home off of the carport, too. For the inside, I’d really like the walls in neutral tones. I would like it furnished, and I want the furnishings and accents to throw in some splashes of bright color. Also, I love to paint. I would like a nice little area with lots of light to do my painting. Finally, I would like either a little attic or basement area for extra storage. I tend to accumulate things wherever I go. Funny, I know. But I don’t know, I’m just lucky or something.”
He grins a crooked grin.
“OK. I think I can do that. A week. That will be rough, but I’m sure we’ll pull it off somehow.”
After he leaves, you reach for your office set to jot down a few notes.
Funny, it was right here when you came in with…you start to second-guess your decision.
But the next morning you arrive to find the set on your doorstep tied up with a bow.
You don’t have to read the card inside.
The Challenge:
Create a home for Cody Klepto and meet as many of his wants for his new home as you can.
Budget:
$16,000
