ENTRY DETAILS:
I built Nean a natural cave with an excavated/carved out completely open floor plan living area with the exception of privacy walls for the bathroom. Amenities include a full kitchen, but there's also a campfire if he'd rather just roast a fish and have marshmallows for dessert. Also included; chess table, guitar, bookshelf, full size bed, stone bedside tables, candles and lanterns. Tucked under the staircase is a stone storage chest and extra supplies.
Most flooring is natural sand which I felt was appropriate for an island cave near the beach. But there is stone tiling under the kitchen area and in the bathroom. Natural Woven rugs lay under the bed and in front of the kitchen sink, plus stone slabs (rugs) underneath the campfire area and in the bathroom.
Nean has some beautiful natural lighting from glowing crystals adorning the walls throughout the cave. Other decorations include; twisted wood wreath, heart wood carving, stone sculptures, ancient pottery, woven baskets and a cave bear to keep him company.
This cave also has a wonderful bonus area accessed by an arch off the kitchen. A small landing with a stone bench, end table, towels and robe supports a staircase leading down to a natural spring water pool that glows invitingly with the aqua light of more crystals in the water.
Outside lanterns lead the way to the hidden entrance, a chimney sits atop the cave for smoke ventilation and an easel underneath a pine tree to paint the beautiful landscape surrounding Nean's new home.
*NOTE - This build was made using a copy of my Custom Template save. I used rucolasheep's Absolutely Empty Lot download to clear the lot before saving the template because I had another build there previously and wanted it empty for all future new gameplay saves. That's why it shows this Sim as the original builder. No stealing on my part!

LOT: The Primitive Life https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/BA21D3CF4B5311E98CE36B74343DD635
LOT COST: $2000.00
LOT NAME: Dock Den in Windenburg
GALLERY COST:$68,380.00
TOTAL COST: $70,380.00

ENTRY DETAILS: This cave was made as a place for Nean to go and escape reality. It is his weekend home. Built in the secluded area of Windenburg, it is the perfect place for him to go and just be himself. It has everything a sim needs to survive in the wild. But not only survive, thrive! I used many hand crafted items and tried to make it look as close to the primitive life as I could.

ENTRY DETAILS: Nean is an outdoor enthusist, he loves to collect things. He is athletic and prefers to be by himself. Nean is very good at his job, unfortunately he finds his job quite stressful (being around people). He wants to have a weekend home where he and his Foxy Lady can escape reality. He wants to build things, fish, live off the land and just generally enjoy the peace of the outdoors. Nean has mastered the fishing, handiness, logic and gardening skill. So he will have no trouble living in his cave. Foxy Lady is his loyal companion. She is an adventurous hunter. She is a special breed, a mix between a large dog and a fox. A new breed I call a Mammoth Fox. Nean and Foxy Lady are very excited to live the primitive life in their new cave!

GALLERY COST: 76, 982
TOTAL COST: 79, 982
LINK TO ENTRY SLIDESHOW: https://imgur.com/a/L7SZkkm
ENTRY DETAILS: My take on Nean's house is that of urban cave living. It's still a cave, but it blends in well in Willow Creek and gives Nean the best of both worlds. The interiors are carved stone walls with a natural dirt floor, of course. All the furnishings are as rustic as possible with a composting toilet in the bathroom and all-wood furniture. No new-fangled metals except in the some of the plumbing and appliances. Of course, Nean could bathe in the swimmable pond out back, catch fish in it, then roast them on the campfire if he really wants to go rustic.
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM: of course

ENTRY DETAILS: Subterranean Domicile is created to blend in with it's surroundings. The indoor spaces are compact and serve multiple purposes to reduce the impact on the environment. The lot is designed and located to encourage outdoor living and being self sustaining. There are fishing spots close by and natural edible plants in the surrounding areas. There are also edibles mixed in with the landscaping and an area with vegetables.

ENTRY DETAILS: Mr Nean Dertal wanted a proper and literal man cave. A hole in the rock, he said, where he could be himself. So we created a secluded hole in a rock in a hole where he will be able to enjoy all the privacy he needs if he wants to enjoy his new home just in a loincloth or less. All is furnished with natural materials and ancient looking items.
