I downloaded the Greene family, and gave them each a bunch of fun outfits using the new clothes from my new packs :heart: And I started building their new home in Evergreen Harbor! :smiley:
I decided on Floor Plan B!https://cdn.houseplansservices.com/product/ic992qqf4lbvs4q5va6bd8m6df/w1024.jpg?v=4
I wanted to go with A because @OJenn chose it, and I wanted to compare our build styles, but I ended up choosing B because it's 2 stories. I wanted the extra space after suffering through using no cheats and small single story homes with the last household I played. Anyway, I think the exterior looks pretty accurate. I've got a long way to go before it's finished, but this is what I've got so far.

The floorplan itself gave me a bit of trouble. Mainly because with the lot size I didn't have enough room to make the proportions fit properly.

But I was able to keep most of the rooms in the same places. I just had to eliminate some of the closets and stuff. I plan to make the garage area a workshop.

And the upstairs patio a gardening area since there's not much lawn space. And I just think rooftop gardens are cool :tongue:

I've got a ton of decorating and landscaping to do, but I'm getting there, and having fun doing it. :smile:
@OJenn - Thanks for the link to the save file with the emptied worlds, but it won't load for me :disappointed: I'm gonna keep trying it. Once I do where should I put the package files so they'll show up in my game? I've never downloaded anything other then CAS or Build stuff lol. And don't feel embarrassed about the hobby thing! I thought it sounded like a cool idea :lol: You've done an awesome job with your house! I really love the exterior. This design style has always been my fav in the sims, and you've done it really well. The way you nestled the fireplace into the wall is great too. I can't wait to see more!
@JordanNicoleJJ - Aw :heart: It makes me so happy to hear that people have been paying it forward to you. I always love hearing about those stories. It's very nice being the one having done to them too :wink: :smile: Your Origin friend request went through. I think it's so weird that we're friends in game, but apparently weren't on Origin. Oh well, at least we are now. I know you didn't gift me the packs because you expected me to gift you something back, but I really want to! I looked and you don't have anything in your wishlist. I didn't wanna gift you something you already have. How about I gift you the knitting pack when it comes out? That way I can beat your boyfriend to it lol! That is if you want the knitting pack? Just let me know :blush:
I can totally relate to being more productive when having deadlines and a routine. It definitely motivates me, otherwise I'm pretty lazy lol Ah man, your job and D&D groups sound so fun. My husband and I use to play Magic with a group when we'd have free time, but it was always just guys. Which is fine, but every girl needs girl time. I live for gossip, especially if it's with nerdy girls like me. :lol: I really wish I had more gamer friends... Anyway, I hope you can find some time to enjoy simming again. I'm trying to do the same thing with setting aside at least one day a week to sim. I always love when we're all playing and posting.
@Mionax - Lurking is fun! I used to lurk on these challenges years ago and once I started posting I never stopped lol
@debjameswhite -I miss you my friend :heart: Do you have a plan to start playing this version of the challenge? I saw you told Jenn you were waiting to play so you didn't get too far ahead. Are you starting in Evergreen Harbor too?
