Build-n-Share #187 **A Chalet Retreat** Due 31st December 2024
Welcome to BNS 187: A Chalet Retreat The scents of spruce and peppermint accompany the couple who step into your office. Flakes of melting snow from the first real snow of the year dust their clothes and hair. “Mr. and Mrs. Yukimura, welcome,” you greet them. “I hope the drive wasn’t too bad?” “Not at all. We’re used to driving in the snow,” Rin Yukimura answers. He has an air of dignity and cool reserve about him. “That’s good. Now, what can I help you with?” “We’ve just won the lottery,” Fuyuko Yukimura answers before her husband can. “We want to build our vacation home on it. A chalet-style house. It’s been our dream for years, and we can finally make it come true with your help.” She seems more relaxed and friendlier than her husband. But maybe he’s just shy around strangers or doing his best to appear businesslike? You don’t want to be too quick to judge. “I’m glad to help. How large of a chalet are you thinking?” “Nothing big or fancy. Three bedrooms with ensuite baths and a half-bath for guests will be plenty,” Mr. Yukimura replies. “One of the bedrooms should have an attached living area as well - we’re considering renting it out to earn some extra income.” “The upstairs bedrooms should also have balconies,” Mrs. Yukimura adds. “On the first floor, we want an open floor plan so the view can be enjoyed from anywhere in the house. We need a kitchen, dining room, living room, and a half-bath for guests.” “We will be spending a lot of time outdoors, hiking or biking in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the winter, so we don’t need a very large lot. A patio for outdoor entertaining in the summer would be nice though,” Mr. Yukimura says. “Naturally, we’ll need storage space for our gear and bicycles.” “With a telescope. I love observing the sky at night,” Mrs. Yukimura adds. “Oh! We would love a fire pit or outdoor fireplace to heat the patio so it can be used in cooler weather too. And there should be one or two fireplaces inside as well.” “That all sounds doable. Do you have a preference for where this chalet should be located?” you ask. “In the mountains would be great, but we understand if that’s not possible. In which case we’ll take anywhere we can enjoy the change of seasons and the outdoors,” Mrs. Yukimura answers. You make a note of their preferences. “All right, and what is your budget?” Mr. Yukimura answers this time. *$150,000. Will that be enough?” “Yes. We’ll get right on this with winter coming, and should have your chalet ready by the end of the month.” The Brief: Budget: 150000 Lot size: Any size that will fit the Yukimuras’ requirements while still leaving room for landscaping. While building the chalet in a mountainous area would be nice, it is not required. The chalet should have three bedrooms and three and a half baths. One of the bedrooms should have an attached living room as well as the bath so it can be rented out as a separate unit. Note: This part of the challenge was written to allow anyone who has the For Rent pack to use the residential rental lot trait, but it can as easily be for a base game roommate. The main living area should have an open floor plan with lots of windows. Upstairs bedrooms need balconies. The covered patio should have room to entertain and an outdoor fireplace. The house should have at least two fireplaces inside. Include a storage space for the Yukimuras’ gear - bicycles, skis, sleds. Remember to landscape. The Sim Challenge: Create Rin and Fuyuko Yukimura. You can pick all of their traits, likes, dislikes etc.. Show them enjoying their new home. Show all of their outfits. The Room Challenge: Create the Yukimuras’ bedroom. Budget: 15,000 Remember to include the hashtag #bns187 with your build or it will not be judged!

The Captain's Abodes🌟
WELL, HELLO THERE FELLOW ADVENTURERS! I noticed that my Sims 4 Gallery Catalog now contains OVER TWO!!! builds so I thought I'd showcase all three of them here! That was a joke. I have more than three builds. I build spaceships, floating palaces, secret military labs, medieval strongholds, haunted mansions and other otherwordly structures. 💥100% CC FREE!💥 In the next post you will discover a LOT INDEX with links to the Lot specific posts on this thread. These posts contain exterior shots, interior shots, lot details and a download link. This thread, including the LOT INDEX, will be updated each time I share a new build on the gallery. * Anyways, we'll see how this one goes. Welcome to my many, not so humble humble abodes & enjoy! <3 Gallery ID: CPTN_NXR7 hashtag:#CPTNNXR7 🔥Couple of Important Notes so you know WHAT and WHO you're dealing with:🔥 My builds are 100% original: I will NEVER edit and share other people's sims content on the gallery. I know I can, but I just won't. Note that some of my builds are loosely inspired by real world architecture & places. I NEVER share shells. All my builds are fully furnished and carefully landscaped. I NEVER use CC. It's all vanilla ice cream. I NEVER use the TOOL mod. My builds won't explode as soon as you touch something in build mode. I don't know if that actually happens to builds when TOOL's been used, but it will definitely not happen with my builds. Better safe than sorry. I DO use Move Objects On (MOO) but this should NOT affect routing. I use MOO sparingly. Just don't touch anything, please. The build might implode. That was a joke. I ALWAYS playtest and try to ensure there are NO routing issues. If you do happen to encounter routing issues, there could be something wrong with your computer. I am only human, your computer however, is not. Your computer is not. Your computer is not. I own many packs and I will use anything that I believe will make my builds look snazzy. If you're missing a specific blade of grass, that's not my fault. Do you have a special Request? I'm a busy man. Convince me. 😎 *you may experience some delay because I am fast but I'm not that fast.Slanted Chic
Hi everyone, it's been a while since I created a personal build. This one is based on an inspiration pic that someone posted in a TS3 Facebook group. Room left in the yard for downloaders to add on as desired. It uses the Sharper Edge Skylights: Part VIII from the Skylight Studio for the Performing Arts. 🙂 Download Custard checked...Soocoolsim's Showcase ⚜️
Hi everyone, welcome to my showcase thread! I started playing since the original Sims, love building in Sims 3 the most and am happy to see others still enjoying this version as well. It’s been heartwarming and inspirational to be an active part of the Sims community individually and as a member of the DNA request team. In the past several years it’s also been my pleasure to initiate / host / participate in several Sims 3 world build collaborations. No 3rd party custom content is used in my creations and they are play-tested and Custard checked before uploading. An aspect I really love is creating unique and themed builds, especially those that involve using CFE. The builds in my SIMS 3 STUDIO also include a wide range of architectural styles and blends. I do hope you enjoy my sharing as much as I enjoy building.
