STARTING OUT RESULTS FOR CHALLENGE #5 - The Olsen's Part II
☆opod67☆
Great job on both Vivian’s as Leroy and Charlotte’s home! I’m loving the roofing on Vivian’s home. The green house really is set apart from it. The layout has an interesting shape. I think it was a wise choice to keep the bedroom downstairs, for if she ever got less mobile. The greenhouse is very well done as well. The lowered floor was a great choice. Also love that the ceiling follows the roofline.
Leroy and Charlotte’s home has a very workable layout for Charlotte. Too bad about the stairs going up to the front door, but I know that is a must since foundations now work on everything on the lot (still don’t like that in The sims 4 haha). The colours of woods work really well together. The sewing room turned out great! With all the details that hint towards clothing can make it really look like it’s a sewing room, without even a sewing machine. Great job. What I could think of as a suggestion is that I miss a common seating in Leroy’s and Charlottes home. Where they can receive visitors or just sit together, the reading nook is an option, but a bit crowded for visitors. I love the kitchen island in their house though! The layout of the overall lot looks really great, it works well, and the landscaping you have done ties the houses together. Great job!

Lovely builds, the lot layout works well, everyone has their own space, yet you connect the gardens with the landscaping. Well done. Leroy’s and Charlottes home looks very warm and welcoming. The rooms are laid out very spacious. The enormous closet is a nice touch. Vivian’s home is indeed very eclectic. You did well on combining various styles together without it clashing too much. The greenhouse looks great and very green, I think she can grow a few veggies in there ;) I love the dining room set you have used. a tip I can give you is to turn off the grid when taking the pictures. You can do that in build mode by hitting the ‘g’ button. Or ofcourse by going into live mode. My favourite feature would be the carport, good use of the enlarging cheat, and a nice touch to the house. Good work!

The builds really fit together. Lovely plants by the windows give them a more green feeling. The columns and the spandrels are a great touch. Leroy sure has gotten a big screen tv! Great use of the enlargement cheat. Their bedroom looks great. I love the colours you have used in Vivian’s home. The muted pastel colours fit the coastal theme. Integrating the greenhouse to the house is an awesome idea. Looking right in from the living room makes it feel like a part of the house. You have listened to one of our suggestions and I think it worked out great. The rooms all have their own identities, but the style is cohesive throughout, very well done! As a suggestion this time I would say, don’t forget layout pictures, a picture that shows the floorplan of the build. That way I can see how the rooms connect and see better what room is what.
My favourite house is vivians house, it appeals to me, and I love the greenhouse!

Gorgeous layout with the houses. The houses themselves are great too. They don’t take away from the main house, yet they each have their own character. Vivian’s house is very breezie, the open plan works for the layout as well as the colours for a coastal feel. There isn’t too much extra luxury, but she has all she needs and it looks great. Love the dresser in Vivian’s bedroom. The greenhouse looks very colonial, a mini colonial home almost. The stairs leading up to them look great. Leroy’s and Charlotte’s home feels very warm and cosy. The warm woodcolours give a true craftsman cabin feeling. The kitchen is very spacious. I think Charlotte will enjoy the spacious layout for her walker. A tip I can give you is to watch out for the ‘fish eye’ effect in your pictures. Especially in the interior pictures. It happens when you zoom out just a little bit too far. this give a bit of a distorted view. My favourite part of your build is the landscaping. The amazing driveway you had is extended very well to the back and oh my that pool area fits there perfectly! And I love the splashed of gardening here and there, without losing the colonial style garden. Great job. If you feel like it, I think you are ready to move on to established, if you want.

Pretty house builds. The style of the added houses match your original build. Well done. Leroy and Charlotte’s house is very warm and cozy, exactly what I think when I think of a craftsman cabin. Charlottes sewing room is very clever. The way you placed the bust makes it really clear what you mean by it. Great find. And Leroy’s tv room/man cave looks great too, seems like a fine place to relax and watch a game or two. Vivians home has a very interesting layout. The way you have used the spandrels to create your own arches is very clever. A suggestion would be for the landscaping. It feels a bit too separated from each other. It doesn’t feel as 1 whole. Maybe connect some of the bushes together from the separate gardens, or the pool in the middle (great idea btw) have a few pathways from the other houses leading to it. My favourite part would be the greenhouse, The cabinets you used there are perfect and the tall cabinets are a great touch. As well as all the clutter on the shelves and everywhere else. Connecting it to the house was a great idea.
And the winners are....
