They certainly are a large family. Of course, you had heard the news, so tragic - both parents dying in a car accident, and four orphans left behind! Their estranged aunt and her wife had agreed to take them in, so they wouldn’t have to be separated, but two twin babies, an eight-year-old, and a teen are a lot to take on for new parents!
“Of course we never expected to be
unexpected
parents,” Saanvi, the aunt, says. “Couples like us really don’t have that issue.”
“We’re very happy to do it,” Luna quickly adds. “But we’re very cramped in our place, now. “Ayla and Aesha share our bed, but Nila and Faisal are sleeping on the couches, and that just won’t do forever.”
You nod sympathetically. “I understand completely.”
“We love our house,” Saanvi says. “And the view. We don’t want to move, so we’ll have to add-on three new rooms and probably another bathroom.”
“It should complement the existing architecture as well,” says Luna. “But we’d love to have the interior updated while we’re making so many changes. Make it more friendly for the number of people in it.”
“And we want Nila and Faisal involved in their rooms,” Saanvi continues. “This is going to be as much their house as ours, I want to help make them feel as if they really belong there.”
You nod and turn to Nila first, the middle sister. “Hello, Nila,” you say.
She turns red and hides behind her hands, but with some gentle coaxing from Saanvi, she returns your greeting.
“Why don’t you tell me a little about yourself? Do you have any hobbies? Anything you like to do for fun?”
“I like to paint,” she says.
“Oh? And what do you paint?”
She shrugs and goes quiet.
“She’s shy,” Luna offers as Nila shrinks into her. “She seems to really like browns and pinks together.”
You decide to let Nila off the hook and turn to Faisal. “And what about you?”
He doesn’t look at you but softly says, “I- I really like my telescope.”
“Me, too,” you say, hoping to draw him out a little more. “I love looking at the stars.”
He looks at you, not expecting that. “Yeah. I- I want to find a new one and name it.”
“Oh? That sounds wonderful. What would you name it?”
“Paavai,” he says.
You remember that name from the news article. It was the mother. “That’s very beautiful.”
He nods.
“What about color? What colors do you like?”
He thinks a bit longer about that before saying, “I guess yellow. Or… maybe purple.”
“We’d like the babies to have a few things to help them develop their skills as they grow,” Saanvi says. “I’d like their room to be in a soft shade of green or blue.”
“I like the colors in our room now,” Luna says, “but something new and fresh would be nice.”
“I think this should all be very doable.”
“Since you’ll be working on the whole house, we’ll be taking a vacation for a few weeks,” Saanvi says. “So we won’t be around for questions during the renovation. I hope we’ve given you enough to go on?”
“I think I’ve got all I need,” you say. “The house will be move-in ready by the time you come back!”
“Thank you so much,” Luna says. “This is such a burden off us.”
“I am only too happy to help,” you say, already deciding to waive your fee for this one. You have every confidence that this new family will be able to overcome their tragic beginning and thrive in their new house.
Renovate and add-on to Riverside Roost in Willow Creek.
200k Budget (final cost of the building, not in addition to the existing house value)
The final build should have at least four bedrooms decorated per the requests and interests of the family as indicated above. Also, take into consideration items from the existing building for things Saanvi and Luna enjoy.
The exterior style of the house should reflect the current style, but the interior can be redesigned to give a fresh feeling and to make the best use of the existing spaces.
Don't worry about adding on the lot cost to this one, they already own it.
Room Challenge:
Create Sanvi and Luna's Living Room. Must include a place for them to read to the children, a stereo and a TV.
Budget: $75,000
Size Limit: 40 squares in any layout you choose (it can be smaller if you wish). Be sure to include a slide showing the layout square count in your entry slideshow.
Sim Challenge:
Make the family and show them moving into the new house. Tell us a little about them.
Mr. Seth's home was build to fit in with the surroundings of Forgotten Hollow. Old world styling was mixed with modern reliability. The property is enclosed with strong stone fencings that incorporate the chimneys for the subterranean home beneath this entry tower. Landscaping costs were kept very low since Mr. Seth insisted there was no point in adding more above ground than was necessary. Simple, well made and utilatarian is the theme for Mr. Seth's home.

Entry Details: “ Since my test-Sims Sparrow and Storm fell in love - I decided to add a wagon, but first things first... I found the old Windenbrug Island Station, a diamond in the rough. Secluded, abandoned and left to decay. So I restored the old Station building almost to it's former Victorian glory and pieced together three wagons of the old Island Line, which are now the sleeping and hobby quarters for the six of them. They all are connected, whether through the old tracks or through the platform and they are a symbol for the constant spiritual journey this group of people is on. Enjoy the Happy Hippie Train! “
