@OJenn I thought it was going to be a slow grind to furnish the house, but I put their degrees to good use and started higher up in their careers, so money has been coming in regularly. I have all of the necessities purchased after about a week of work. I had an...unexpected delay in the furnishing process and had to re-allocate funds...but I'm excited to share my progress :blush: I love seeing how we all built it a little bit differently. I still want to make floorplan B at some point, but I'm pretty set on A after it took me like three separate tries to get it "right" lol.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who took advantage of their degrees and started as botanist/green tech! I didn't know if I was allowed to, but I needed that money :lol: I also like that it will still take a lot of work to get them promoted, because they don't have any skills. You did a great job with these sims! I also chose Green Gardening for my first NAP, but the community voted in Self Sufficiency, which worked out because gardening is part of that too :tongue: I love your scenery shots of the harbor. It's so difficult for me to get good scenery pics in this world. You got the "Maker Space" community lot - that one is my fav! I chose the Community Garden this time, and it's kinda disappointing. I'm not sure what happens if you alter that lot... I kinda want to find out but I also don't want to break the lot lol. The bio-fuel is for powering showers and sinks and stuff when you give them the H20 converter upgrade. I had to do that on my off-the-grid lot because I just couldn't generate enough water. The fuel lasts for a looong time though! My eco-footprint always changes to neutral in like one day in this game. It's kinda sad because I'd like to see the smog for awhile longer, but sims hate it so it works I guess.
@Heckstress17 I literally had to delete/change little details to be able to finish the shell, like leaving the garage "unfinished" and making all of the wallpaper the 2 simoleon plaster and using a cheaper tile in the bathrooms - that's how strapped for cash I was :lol: But starting them higher up in their careers has made the furnishing process much easier. Still difficult, but bearable :sweat_smile: I still want to try to make floorplan b at some point, because I love how yours turned out, but I need to play for awhile cause floorplan A burned me out on building for the time being :lol: I totally want outfit tours!! Your favs of Aiden's outfits are also my favs -- I think he looks so good in that maroon/purple-ish color!
Pshh your lot doesn't even look that smoggy! I think your pics turned out great. Your houses are always so colorful and I love that. I guess I'm just terrified of color (as you can tell from all of my black and white/neutral houses lol), so I'm jealous. I looove the little laundry space. And I think we used the same cabinets (different colors though)! Great minds think alike :sunglasses: Oh man I'm jealous of your furnished, decorated, well-lit garage...mine is still a dim, empty mess :grimace: Omg and their bedroom is so pretty too...can I live in this house? :lol: 100% jealous of their big corner tub. Great use of the roof space -- it's hard making gardens fit sometimes, but that's the perfect use for the roof! Eeee the nursery is SOOOO cute! I used that same bed and dresser combo. It's by FAR my favorite tod bed, and the dresser matches so perfectly! I'm glad they've brought in some really cute items for the tods/kids, we definitely needed some. That was an awesome house tour! I can't wait to see more :smiley:
