Hello and welcome to a whole new series within the Extreme Makeover contests: Home Improvements!
I am Clarice DeGeneres, interior designer and hostess of this competition. At certain times, I will present you with a new challenge that will test your decoration skills! So let's not dawdle, we'll move on directly to the first challenge.
Chandler Jameson has bought himself an old building that has previously been used as a storage hall for a company. In tune with the latest trends as Mr. Jameson is, he wants to convert this building to a modern loft fitting for an ambitious young man as himself. It will be your task to re-design this old storage hall and convert it into the dreamloft it can be!
How to Participate:
- Download the lot HERE.
- Re-design and decorate the old storage hall to a comfy, modern loft. You're not allowed to add an extra floor, the ceiling is two stories high by default. You're allowed to break away old walls and add new ones, except for the outer ones.
- Use any custom content you like, including furniture, walls, floors, etc.
- The budget for this challenge is 30.000 $. More or less is allowed, but the absolute maximum is 31.000 $ (e.g.: 30.130 is okay, 31.010 is NOT)
(To keep track of your budget, move a sim into the lot and use the FamilyFunds cheat to give them 30.000 $. Build and decorate away until your 30.000 $ are all spent.) - The lay-out of the loft is entirely up to you, but should at least include a seperate bathroom.
- When you've finished, take pictures of your designs and compile them in a 800 x 600 pixels picture to present your work. How you do this is entirely up to you. Make sure you include enough shots so every part of the loft is shown. Shots of the outside/garden aren't necessary.
- Post your entries in this thread to participate
Some advice from Chandler Jameson himself:
"I quite like modern architecture and interior design. I also love to live in a light, fresh environment, so dark colours aren't really my thing. The concrete space surrounding the old hall belongs to the lot, so maybe you could add some trees or hedges and stuff to enhance the view from inside, but I understand if you can't squeeze that into the budget."
Deadline: Tuesday the 13th of February, 16:00 GMT
