This being my first house contest, I can admit I was very nervous. I had no general ideas except for one, which was to make the entire stairs to the observatory indoor. I thought it just made more sense. From there I got inspiration. I thought with a baby on the way it would be much more ideal for the 3 men to settle down to a less hectic style but still retain some of their fun-loving charm. As we paneled up the house with the finest wood I made a very tough desicion that would essentially change the whole entire look of the house. And that was to make a modern "boat-house."

I felt that I still had to leave some remnants of their quirky personalities. In each bedroom I created some whacky combonations of color and left a couple funky pictures and sculptures. No custom content was used in this house other than Desert Plants used throughout the front lawn of the house. Hope you like!

HEADSHOT OF DESIGNER:


The Curious house is a challenge, it has strange angles and extraordinary people living in it. I didn't want to make huge changes in the building so the structure is very like the original. The interior of the house was way to much steel and stone, no place where you can raise a baby. So I wanted to mix wood, steel, retro, modern and red all trough each other.


I replaced the little white stones by putting a lot of wood on it, and around the house a lot of plants and trees have been placed. I also added a garage and simplified the strange lookout on the roof.

Aeriel, the house it shape hasn't chanced that much. I added a extra place for the dining area and placed the front door somewhere else.


Walking trough the modern front door, you end up directly in the living room. I used red, wood and some strong shapes. I used the original little white bricks in 2 rooms so that the Curious family would still remember something from the past.

At the left of the livingroom is the diningroom. It's not that special but fun.

And connected with the diningroom is the kitchen. It's sober and simple, you want be distracted while cooking.
CC: Floor&Wall


The first room on the right is Lazlo's room, Lazlo described himself as a person who loves the supernatural and calls with his future-teller every ten minutes. And I know a guy from an antique shop who had a wonderful phone for me. Put a chair next to the phone and Lazlo will be happy for the rest of his life.

Behind Lazlo's room, Vincent's room is situated. Because he has come out that he likes flowers, I gave him a peaceful green room with the family-flower-thingie.

And then we have Pascal's room, it's full with baby blue since the gynecologist said it was going to be a boy.

At the end of the house is a little cozy bathroom.

On the roof is a dining table if they want to dine under the star heaven and 2 treadmills to do whatever you want.

Excuse for the strange use of pictures (most big, 2 small and 2 links)

hey guys, i am having problems with photos and was wandering if anyone could help? When i take snapshots in my game they are saved as 400x300(size) when i try to make them bigger in photobucket the image becomes more distorted/fuzzy. What is the best was to enlarge my pictures without distorting them? I dont have photoshop or anything so how would i do it? thanks

You can use paint also simsimsims. Just hit the alt key and the prtscr key and paste it into paint. You have to do it one at a time though. Ice Angel, did curious have twin girls??? When i first loaded their lot i walked away to do something and forgot about it until one of my kids ran in to ask me what i wanted to name the new baby girl LOL. I ended up not saving and bulldozing the house because it was taking too long to delete everything (hence why the lot is not longer in the exact same position) and sure enough he went into labour and had another girl.

I will give the house to work on as soon as apps finish. There will be some requirements and a particular decorating style to be followed, so better wait until I give the house so your efforts will not be wasted.

I don't mean to be pushy but since we're all going through to round 1 can we have them a day early? The reason i ask this is tonight is the only good chance i will have to go in game. Meaning i will have a few hours i can get to work on it whereas the rest of the week would be in dribs and drabs. No worries if you can't though i just wanted to use this rare free time i have to get a start on it
