#BnS161 - Blast from the Past
The deadline for this challenge is 31 May 2022
Your newest client is the most unusual yet. From head to toe, he is dressed as if he stepped from the pages of a history book. His outfit would have been the height of fashion 80 to 150 years ago. The jacket, shirt, tie, pants and shoes look new and well-made, not old. This is clearly not a costume.
You show no surprise, though you are curious. “Hello, sir. How can I help you?”
“The name’s Wells, Herbert George Wells. I was testing my new time machine and found myself stranded here,” he says.
“Oh! Then the time machine is real?” you blurt out.
He gives you an affronted look. “Of course it is. Now then, it will take me some time to fix the machine and get home. In the meantime, I need a house. One that reminds me of my own time. I have made the acquaintance of a lovely young woman who calls herself a student of history. In the event I choose to remain here, we will require extra bedrooms for a family. A minimum of three in total.”
You listen closely, though you are still not convinced this isn’t some elaborate prank or the result of some mental illness which has made your client believe he is in fact H.G. Wells. For now, you’ll treat him like any other client. “I would like to help you. Do you have a budget?”
To your surprise, Wells nods. “My… girlfriend… has offered to fund this project. We have $186,600 available, will that be enough?”
“More than enough. You want a faithful recreation of a home from your time period?”
“Yes. Oh, I have no objection to modern technology, and naturally, electricity and plumbing are a must.”
“Naturally,” You agree. “Do you have a color preference?”
“I prefer to avoid pastels, but otherwise, I will leave the choice of appropriate colors in your hands.”
“Thank you for your trust. The house will be ready in a month. Ah, one other thing, how can I contact you?”
“Do not concern yourself, I will come to you in one month’s time.”
THE BRIEF
Budget 186,600.
Build a house in a style that would have been popular at any point in H.G. Wells’ lifetime.
Decorate the interior as closely as you can to what would have been period-appropriate. Mr. Wells will forgive any necessary upgrades, such as modern kitchen appliances.
The house must have at least three bedrooms and one bath.
Landscaping should match the style of the house.
Include any additional rooms or spaces you fill will fit and which the budget allows.
Lot size: 30x20 or larger.
Room challenge
Create H.G. Wells’s living room Budget: 15,000

ENTRY DETAILS: I chose the Edwardian Townhouse style because Wells, having grown up poor in Victorian England, might be happy that middle-class families can now have good housing. The Edwardian townhomes are more modest than the homes for the rich in Victorian times but accessible to more families. I chose the art deco style because I think someone who grew up in the Victorian aesthetic would consider art deco to be a logical progression of the popular aesthetic. It's simpler than the Victorian but still a little bit showy. My initial build was half a duplex. It had a basement. There was a kitchen, dining, front room, hall, and half bath on the main floor. Upstairs there were four bedrooms, two toilets, two baths and sinks in each room. I had safely saved my entry to my gallery. Thespina got an offer to marry for money, so they did. I used those funds to expand the home to include the rest of the lot. I then selected 'overwrite' instead of 'save new' thus cannibalizing my entry. I decided to still submit the expanded home within the budget but not all the rooms are furnished. The home now has a library and family room added to the main floor and three more bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. I included several high-tech objects to delight Wells. He was a scientist with a Victorian imagination about progress and technology so I think he would be intrigued by a robot vacuum, clothes dryer, talking toilet and a whole basement full of sciency things. The landscaping is an English rose garden with a garden path leading to a gazebo and a bird bath outside the dining room window. There is also a garden of harvestables because the bills are about $6750 which they can afford with two incomes and the proceeds from the garden.

ENTRY DETAILS: It has been 3 weeks since the home has been finished & moved into. We chose Windenburg . It was more than fitting , the neighborhood has access to a library, a cafe, & a nice park all with in walking distance. The architecture of the home is reminiscent of H.G. Wells time.. This partial Timber Framed home has 3 + bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. There is a period-appropriate Kitchen with modern convinces modestly added. There is an office ( laboratory ) for Wells . A Formal living room ( smoking room ) & dining room. The time Machine sits in the glass roofed attached green house, being worked on . The home is on the Proprietor's Square 30x20 lot. It is reminiscent to the Home in " The Time Machine" Book, & Movie from the 1960's. That home was in Richmond, a borough on the Thames River, on the outskirts of London. Similar to this neighborhood in Windenburg. It Looks lived in with all the objects & books Wells had brought with him from his own time, and objects he has collected from traveling.

ENTRY DETAILS: It’s a home reminiscent of Victorian times, but in a modern version, mixed with a little industrial and steampunk style. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms + two separate toilets. It has a large kitchen and a huge living room. One half of the double greenhouse is Catherine’s, the other is Wells ’laboratory, and there’s the almost finished time machine. (I recently built a greenhouse for a collaborative lot, and I’m glad I was able to use it here as well.)

ENTRY DETAILS: I did a lot of research on H.G.Wells.
I have learned so much about one of my Favorite Authors. Back in Victorian times his ideas on Womens Lib & romance were way before their time. He was also quite the ladies man. He broke many of the moral code back then.. ( Some things I did not need to know) H.G. Wells was more then an author. he was also a teacher, historian, & a journalist. A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. He was dubbed the "Shakespeare of science fiction".
I was not going to submit an entry here. I had started out with a Sim that mostly resembled Sim Guru Ninja.. LOL
I think I did a pretty good job from pictures of a Young H.G.Wells and Jane his 2nd wife..

ENTRY DETAILS: I chose to build HG a Colonial styled home made to look like it belongs in the English countryside from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. I found a house plan called "The Magnolia" that was straight out of the Sears catalog and used that as my inspiration for this build. There is a formal living and dining room, a den, sunroom, drawing room, and kitchen. There is a large primary bedroom and two spare bedrooms, all with attached decks. The third floor is the butlers living quarters. The landscaping is formal with many flowers and hedges, made to look like an English garden. There are fountains, a gazebo, fishing pond as well as a tennis court for good looks. The home has all the amenities that the modern day time has to offer but I have designed it to be fully functional off the grid if HG prefers.

ENTRY DETAILS: I decided HG needed a couple of friends. First his partner in crime, Thomas Butler. He is HG's best friend and butler. Second I added his modern day girlfriend, Catherine Robbins. Herbert George Wells is a genius who is proper and loves books. His life aspiration is to have a nerd brain and he is a quick learner as well. Thomas Butler is a young adult who likes to keep things clean, loves food, and is proper. His lifetime aspiration is to be a master chef. Catherine Robbins loves history. Her life aspiration is to become an archeology scholar and she is a quick learner. She is a romantic at heart, loves books, and is an overall good person.

ENTRY DETAILS: It has been 3 weeks since the home has been finished & moved into. We chose Windenburg . It was more than fitting , the neighborhood has access to a library, a cafe, & a nice park all with in walking distance. The architecture of the home is reminiscent of H.G. Wells time.. This partial Timber Framed home has 3 + bedrooms & 3 bathrooms. There is a period-appropriate Kitchen with modern convinces modestly added. There is an office ( laboratory ) for Wells . A Formal living room ( smoking room ) & dining room. The time Machine sits in the glass roofed attached green house, being worked on . The home is on the Proprietor's Square 30x20 lot. It is reminiscent to the Home in " The Time Machine" Book, & Movie from the 1960's. That home was in Richmond, a borough on the Thames River, on the outskirts of London. Similar to this neighborhood in Windenburg. It Looks lived in with all the objects & books Wells had brought with him from his own time, and objects he has collected from traveling.

ENTRY DETAILS: It’s a home reminiscent of Victorian times, but in a modern version, mixed with a little industrial and steampunk style. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms + two separate toilets. It has a large kitchen and a huge living room. One half of the double greenhouse is Catherine’s, the other is Wells ’laboratory, and there’s the almost finished time machine. (I recently built a greenhouse for a collaborative lot, and I’m glad I was able to use it here as well.)

ENTRY DETAILS: I did a lot of research on H.G.Wells.
I have learned so much about one of my Favorite Authors. Back in Victorian times his ideas on Womens Lib & romance were way before their time. He was also quite the ladies man. He broke many of the moral code back then.. ( Some things I did not need to know) H.G. Wells was more then an author. he was also a teacher, historian, & a journalist. A futurist, he wrote a number of utopian works and foresaw the advent of aircraft, tanks, space travel, nuclear weapons, satellite television and something resembling the World Wide Web. His science fiction imagined time travel, alien invasion, invisibility, and biological engineering. He was dubbed the "Shakespeare of science fiction".
I was not going to submit an entry here. I had started out with a Sim that mostly resembled Sim Guru Ninja.. LOL
I think I did a pretty good job from pictures of a Young H.G.Wells and Jane his 2nd wife..

ENTRY DETAILS: I chose to build HG a Colonial styled home made to look like it belongs in the English countryside from the late 1800's to the early 1900's. I found a house plan called "The Magnolia" that was straight out of the Sears catalog and used that as my inspiration for this build. There is a formal living and dining room, a den, sunroom, drawing room, and kitchen. There is a large primary bedroom and two spare bedrooms, all with attached decks. The third floor is the butlers living quarters. The landscaping is formal with many flowers and hedges, made to look like an English garden. There are fountains, a gazebo, fishing pond as well as a tennis court for good looks. The home has all the amenities that the modern day time has to offer but I have designed it to be fully functional off the grid if HG prefers.

ENTRY DETAILS: I decided HG needed a couple of friends. First his partner in crime, Thomas Butler. He is HG's best friend and butler. Second I added his modern day girlfriend, Catherine Robbins. Herbert George Wells is a genius who is proper and loves books. His life aspiration is to have a nerd brain and he is a quick learner as well. Thomas Butler is a young adult who likes to keep things clean, loves food, and is proper. His lifetime aspiration is to be a master chef. Catherine Robbins loves history. Her life aspiration is to become an archeology scholar and she is a quick learner. She is a romantic at heart, loves books, and is an overall good person.
