It took me three times as well.
I started with an amazing solarium and then the build for the rest of the stuff wasn't going the way I wanted it. Plus, looking at the early entries and seeing that I am SOooooo out of my league here... I got ideas on ways to possibly improve or things I wanted to try... and the third build was what I decided to go with. I hope it is likeable a little bit at least...
I also learned that I really like playing the Sim and playing the game, not just building. I had to play test the lot to make sure everything worked, and I wanted to get a party going for pictures, so I had to go out to the nightclub and gym to gather friends.
The balcony did end up having a fountain built into it. But it didn't quite have the same effect. I'd post a picture of it, but, I'm still a forum newbie... You'd think I'd have a higher post count, seeing as I've been around since the start of Sims 3, well, really since the first Sims game, but the forums didn't really start until 3. But, I never visited the forums until just recently over on the Sims 3 forums, and then here.
I'm having a lot of fun with these challenges. Hopefully, my builds aren't totally pathetic... I'm not perfect... I pay more attention to function than fashion... It's hard for me to put in items that don't effect stats. And... I've found that this game severely lacks options of good items to put into the game... The lack of CASt really bums me out. But, I'm trying to learn to work with what I got.
It's funny, some of the items on display are kinda quirky... I used a chicken... kid's toy figurines... LOL You just have to pretend that they are archeological finds and trophies and such...
Okay... gonna stop babbling now... lol
