CHALLENGE #183 - Retro Revival
FORUM ID: Healthsims
ORIGIN ID: Healthsims
LEVEL: Established
NEW LOT LINK: Link
LOT COST: I totally forgot to account for this until now, since the family already lived on the lot! Ugh, I guess I'll be over budget then :( the lot is 9000 (bulldozed)
GALLERY COST: 249 999
TOTAL COST: 258,999 (bc I totally forgot about taking the lot cost into account :(( )
LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: Imgur
ENTRY DETAILS: I'm doing this on mobile, so please excuse me if the links are wonky or there are grammatical errors (I never want to do this again on mobile lol). I tried to set it up as best as I could in notes on computer before and did like half of the imgur image descriptions on computer before I had to get on the road.
This lot is the very oldest Sims 4 save that I could find from 2021. I lost earlier saves at one point when my computer was upgraded, and didn't play Sims 3 (did play Sims 2 on console, but it's long gone). Unfortunately I don't have time to upload and submit the family or a room, but you can see the family in the pictures and get to know them a little bit by their rooms :)I 'm not very sure of what build feature has been released at one point, other than the recently released curved pools which I used, but I certainly used a lot more different things than what I knew back then- not-strsight stairs, platforms, the functional (!!) swin-up pool bar, and so on. The journey from the old lot to what I can do now is certainly something!
The house is supposedly a converted old factory. Originally it was a "Reno" of The Old Salt House in San Myshuno, and still has a similar vibe, although elevated now. I decided against using the old house as a shell challenge and made it a bit smaller, although I still needed a lot of space to accommodate a family of 8. It's more modern now. The style is a mix of modern industrial luxe, and reflects especially the family's parents favorite colors in the common spaces. Each child's (although almost all of them are Young Adults by now) room also reflects their character and their favorite colors and styles, though they take after their parents a lot.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: Yes, please
CREDIT FOR CC/RECOLORS: None
SPACE FOR PICTURES:

Oh and the 10 thing twist wasn't there when I last saw the prompt; I often don't look at the forums while I build and just have the prompt written in a note. But I'm pretty sure there's 10 items of... Something :D Maybe the poofs or the industrial loft kit rug. Or the outside bushes.
