Build-n-Share Challenge # 79- The Third Sister - Carrie
Challenge Deadline: Wednesday 12th October 2107
“Carrie! What a lovely surprise!” You say, standing up to greet the woman walking into your office.
“Sorry I dropped in without an appointment,”
She says, giving your hand a firm shake. Her green eyes scan the room briefly before returning to meet yours.
“Not at all. Have a seat.”
She sits, crossing her jeans clad legs. “Nice office.”
“Thank you. How did your concert go?”
“Concert?” She looks blank for a moment.
“The one you were getting set up for when Journye and I talked.”
“Oh! Went great. Had a few injuries, but that happens sometimes.”
“I hope it wasn’t serious.”
“Nah.” She shrugs it off. “Journye loves the place you did for her and Rosie. She sent pics and Rosie cant wait to get moved in. Its a pretty nice place. I was wondering if you could do something for me too.”
“Of course. What are you thinking about?”
“Well, theres an empty lot next to Journye’s. I’d kind of like to build there. I’m single, so I want to make sure there’s room to expand later if I hook up with anyone.” Carrie says with a grin, brushing a lock of dark brown hair out of her eyes. “So, I guess for starters…Master bedroom with en suite. I think that’s what they’re called. The attached bathrooms?”
You nod, “En suites.”
“Open concept living area, you know, where everything is all one room? Decent kitchen. Comfy furniture for hanging out in. Maybe another bathroom or something so I don’t have people going into my room to use the toilet.”
“Sure. Any color scheme?”
“I like earth tones. Um, nothing too modern but not frilly either.” She thinks for a moment, “Could I get a pool too? And a fenced in yard? Tall fence. I don’t want people peeking in when I’m swimming.”
“Sure. Did you have a budget?”
“Journye said you did a miracle with 45k, so lets go with that.”
Brief
Room Challenge:
Create Sarah a pool area, we realise that you cannot upload pools as part of a room, so you will not need to upload the room. The pool area must include a pool ;) a place for the Sister's and their significant others to relax and some sort of bar area.
Sim Challenge:
Create Sarah and her 'Sister's' and show her hosting a pool party.
NB There have been previous challenges featuring the Sisters, you can find details in our archives, The Four Sister's Of The Apocalypse and The Second Sister - Journye.

ENTRY DETAILS: A great home for for security minded. Excellent night lighting, two surveillance cameras and a bathroom that also serves as a "Safe Room" . It also boasts a private power box. It has a very high privacy fence and a matching Gate that is kept locked. Carrie has 4 vegetable patches with a total of 16 various plants. An apple tree is just starting to grow in the front near a mature cherry tree. She has all the tools she needs for the garden. There is a pool of generous size, a paved patio and walkways, a guitar, Chess, and fitness via the TV or punching bag. Bonus! With all this security it is comfortable. There are even pool change rooms separate from the main house! The lot was very large for the price and I think that allowed me to provide a little more external luxury. A pretty nice place with an open layout and a traditional appeal. There was 9 left in my budget but I get into trouble trying to use up small amounts...'thought I'd quit while ahead!

ENTRY DETAILS: Not really entering it, not happy with it at all other than the building shape XD. DID NOT DECORATE (i.e. I used premade room and shoved the items around to fill the areas) Really just wanted to show off the house build itself XD I tried to decorate I did... I couldn't even get out of downstairs before I'd blown budget, let alone the upstairs bedroom! LOL. She's got 2 trees and 2 security cameras and it's in earthy tones :P that's about as close as I got XD

ENTRY DETAILS: Secure Patio is an eclectic, eco friendly home. The exterior is comprised of reclaimed wood and pre-fabricated stone (prefabricated stone is better for the environment because it requires less mining.) The earthy interiors have a nature theme with brown and green as the primary colors - green is sometimes considered a neutral (especially when combined with brown, as in nature brown soil grows green grass). The open concept living/ kitchen/ dining area has a bar, a bass (guitar) and plenty of comfortable seating for large parties all warmed by the grand fireplace. A half bath is located near the large kitchen area. The master suite has a very soft and natural color palate for relaxing nights after crazy days. The luxurious master bath has a separate room for the toilet, and a half wall separating the sink from the soaker tub. The only access to the private patio is through the security room where Carrie can conduct background checks on all sims who wish to enter. Red arrows indicate sims must leave as access is denied and green arrows lead to the large earthy patio if sims are allowed access. The patio features a large pool, a bubble blower, a basketball court, and a dining area. The house is placed on a 20x40 lot, but only needs 20x30 lot space currently. This is for the future expansion. I recommend enlarging the pictures in the slideshow (they are sized to fill a desktop screen).

ENTRY DETAILS: I try to keep the same idea from the band challenge (the first and only one I have from this sisters). Carrie's room was brown at my house so I used that color as the main one. Also the name Cocoa evoques a a definite taste, sometimes bitter, but that can be cozy and sweet. Cocoa is a house designed for Carrie, a member of a band. As I remember for the first challenge, she loves brown, play the bass and likes to exercise. So all this activities are available at Cocoa (not bass but a guitar). Also she can have parties or band hangouts, but at the same time she can take a break and relax. Music is everywhere. There is only one entrance to the house with a surveillance camera. It is an illuminated house, but the windows are placed to avoid lurkers. It is a modern house with modern interiors but with an eco touch to make the ensemble more cozy (and less modern I hope lol).
