Thanks @rosemow @yanti68 and @AIRIS6962 :)
I haven't really been building lately (did a spot of time travel and played Sims Medieval) but I do have some ideas ready :) Also, I must have mentioned participating in a building competition on the Dutch forums, I shared a lot of those builds. Anyway, I won! Which means I have to host/organise the next season/installment of the competition, looking forward to is, but also something I will be busy with for some time to come.
Anyway, I do have a little something to share, it's not a build (not really, it does feature one), see it as some kind of interlude, it is about the Sims "behind" the builds I make.
I've always been an avid builder, even way back in TS1, but in TS2 I seriously built an entire town (several neighbourhoods) from scratch. It also featured the offices of Sanders Architects ;) (sadly I don't have a screenshot of it). So when I was building in Sims 4 and started using #sandersarchitects I decided to give my architecture firm a new office building (which I've shared). It wasn't until starting my second build save (the Neighbourhood Redevelopment Project) that I created the architects to populate that save, a set of talented young adults - it is about them I'd like to tell you something ;)
These are the offices of Sanders Architects, an old mansion converted to suit the architects' needs:
There's a more modern expansion at the back of the building (a profoundly hideous one, if you ask me, but I liked the idea at the time...)
This is my team in its current setting:
Having a meeting :)
So, the director/creative visionary of the firm is Stephanie Flynn (you'll know her from my profile pictures, she's the closest I have to a Simself. Although this is slightly inconguous with a story I'm writing, let's call it alternate universe - it is a different save after all ;)).
The CEO, planning expert, who is also an architect (just doesn't spend that much time as an architect anymore), is Gareth Alleyn.
(I know the offices are a bit bare, but I made this with basegame only, before I had any packs, and well, I've learned a lot since then ;))
Master architect, and someone who doesn't mind getting his hands (or jeans) dirty, is Trevor Warwick.
Nadia Sambora, interior designer, is there to add some flair ;)
Then there's Andreas Valentine, landscape architect, who is really excited about a new shipment of flowerbulbs coming next Tuesday.
This is the original team (I did give them makeovers), but since business has recently been booming (the Maxis fav ;)), they've decided to expand, first of all with a communications and human resource expert, Claudine Connor.
Who then, after a series of interviews, decided to hire the excentric but genius young architect Demetrius Ballantine.
Latest addition to the team is Beth Holmes, apprentice - currently manning the reception ;) and a very tech savvy young lady.
This is where a lot of the work is done, where the architects and designers all have their own desk:
