ENTRY DETAILS: I just love these guys, they are super fun! Over all they both take care of the house they've moved into, and really enjoy being in each others company. They really do compliment each other and have a knack for making other sims smile. They've turned my little Willow Creek into something it's never been before - a giddy and fun-loving environment.

ENTRY DETAILS: Dr. Chow Chen met Mike in the city. It was a bit of a whirlwind romance when Mike proposed shortly after they got together, Chow was thrilled and even more honored that Mike changed his name to Chen. Chow and Mike were already both heading for success in their fields and but when it came to the most important priorities of life, they agreed that, though they could be conventionally successful in the big city, they wanted a slower and more in-touch life--and when children came along, they knew they wanted more green space to raise them. Dr. Chen is a bit more stylish than Mike, with Mike's style being a bit more relaxed.

ENTRY DETAILS: The Chens Go Back to their Roots:
The Chens have a dream: they want to live with quality of life and feel a connection with the earth that was not possible in the whirlwind of their jobs in the city and their high-rise apartment. Both know the value of practicing their vocations in a small community where they can get to know their clients and patients in more integrated way. They know their "chrysanthemum dog," Tang Tang, will appreciate a garden to explore. As Nuan's grandmother would say, they are going 回到自己的根源 (back to their roots). #GillR #GillR52 #bnS99 #backtotheirroots #sims_4

ENTRY DETAILS: I went with a bit of a modern take on a farmhouse for the Chens. It has the classic lines and built-over-time look of a farmhouse with a metal roof to add clean lines and black painted mullions to add a graphic look to the architecture. The building also includes a home office with its own entrance from the front porch so Dr. & Mr. Chen can see patients and clients in their new home. The interior reflects a more modern take with a little eclecticism and sleekness to keep it from looking too "country kitsch" and with little to no clutter, keeping with a simpler lifestyle and modern living. A large patio with stone walls allows for outdoor living when the weather permits with a seating area, a dining area, and a grill. The second room upstairs, which can serve as a nursery when the Chens are ready, is currently set up as a guest bedroom/office. The kitchen has open shelving as homage to the kitchens of yesteryear but the simple shelves reflect modern sensibilities and the lack of upper cabinets keeps the kitchen feeling open. The greenhouses are divided into flowers and ingredients. The orchard is fenced in on the right side of the house. All plants are perfect quality. The shed includes a flower arranging table and a woodworking table.
