Hi everyone, wow- what great entries for this round so far! Some lovely decor and themes. :lovestruc

R3- 1 Tesla Court - Grunt
Before I start, I am taking a little time travel.. Long before the boys were born, even before Sims 1. When young rebell Buzz Grunt (longer hair, ponytail and stubble, maybe the apple did not dropped too far from the tree after all), was at his first year at uni.
He did not want to follow the footsteps of General Chip , his dad. He wanted to see what the world offers to him. But soon he was bored, all the ridiculous mascots and chearleaders.. tho that Lyla girl looked cute.
One rainy afternoon he decided to have a drink in a pub at Downtown of Sim City. There he met 3 men, all allready graduated some time ago, who were singing together. He sang along and the men loved his voice. So they decided to make a barbershop quartet band! It was a hit, they had so many events all over the Downtown. But all fun ends eventually, the other men hd to focus to family and careers, most the latter.
General himself decided , after all to follow his dads advises and decided to join the military. Now he keeps the past as classified information. He does not know (even before the amnesia) where the 3 other men live currently or are they even alive. But he has the feeling that if they are, they would be more than willing to keep this dark secret from the past burried. Well maybe not the founder of the "band", he may use it to get more ladies, but very rare bossibility.
Notes:
- Humvee and chopper are not deco, both working. (an took a GIANT amount of the budget )
- As this lot has many doors to enter it has burglar alarms in every floor, even the tower has one , as does Ripp's room and the garage.
- 2 phones, in livingroom and upstairs hallway.
- the Tower is ment for General's use only, as it is dangerous place to kids. Kids have their own telescope at second floor balcony area.
- no flowers, no bbq or cute patio furniture, I know their old house had lots of roses and the nice patio, but I believe that was Lyla's handwriting.
- Bathrooms, all (General Buzz has his own, but he is the General after all) are with communal showers and toilet stall doors. General feels the boys should get used to it, no private ensuite bathrooms in the army.
- some of the garbagecans at bathrooms are placed with offthegridd, and may not be working correctly. Those are for deco purpose only.
- foundation, I did not moved/deleted it anyway, only leveled it to be higher and added the decking, same goes to back yard. as per rules "You may add or remove half walls, fencing, lattice and stump decking. "
Mandatory pics:
Back of the lot and the price
Basement (the hole in the floor is a mystery, something to do with the previous owners of the house, General assumes)
Foundation and whole lot:
Main floor (wallphone next to itchen door)
Second floor (phone and alarm at the wall connecting with bathroom)
Third floor (as said even the tower has larm)
Fourth floor ( I usually take floorplans without sims but this was only to show the telescope does work in that position, used offtogrid with the columns)
Roof (also showing the full lot)
Then the 15 extra pics ( so great to have 15 in this!! <3 )
First of all, general did offered to take the small room at upstairs, what only has acces to the house via balcony, to be his study, so Ripp could have the large room downstairs. But Ripp so much wanted the smallest room, and he gave nice reasons too, he said he will have less space to mess up and as the Humvee is outside anyway he can have his guitar in the garage, so the noice would not bother anyone! General happily granted this wish.
Real reason for Ripp was naturally that from there he can easelly sneak out without anyone noticing.. down the stairs to small staircase at left side of the house.. then passing the creepy thingy and out we go right next from the small pond.
Second thing, Buck rolled a want to have a pet. so he convinced the General to have one, we need a guard and dogs can work at military also. After thinking about it over night he agreed. Buck was so happy! the next morning after training General told Buck that they will now go and buy the dog. Eh, Buck had allready called to animal shelter to adopt a puppy... General was not so happy, but what is done is done, in term that Buck would take care of the puppy himself!. So they went to buy the dog, he was named Captain. The Puppy was named as Sergeant.
General's office
General's room.
Livingroom (sparse but the chopper took so much money!)
Captain's living area
Off to set alarm to the chopper.
Buck's and Sergeant's room. (food bowls are outside and in the hallway)
Now Ripp... the family had some personal belongins from their old house by city council.. Unfortunate thing was Ripp received a box, labelled as classified. He opened it of course, he found some old posters of a some kind of a band. Cool! Hey that is DAD!!! As it stated behind one of the posters: " C,C,M and I" , with Generals handwriting! Ripp was suprised, oh my, dad was actually cool!! Well General never bothers to look at Ripps room as he is so annoyed about the never ending mess, Ripp was safe and hanged up all the posters at his wall...
Stereo is functional , and here is one of the many burglar alarms also.
Tank decorated his room as General did his, plus all the trophies.
But he had cuisine as his one true hobby, so, this is what he keeps to himself, as he feels nobody really knows who he is or what he wants, many times even he himself does not know. He has this small tv at his desk, he watches the ymmuchannel when nobody is around. (tv is functional)
Daily training every morning before school/work , Ripp is not to be seen... and tiny waterdrinking fountain in the middle, after all it is hot and you have to drink!
Here is Ripp
More training at the gym after school.
Kitchen.. eh nobody actually know how to cook anything, that was most likely Lyla's job in the past.. eh well mashed potatoes from the box what has nothing to do with real potatoes.
The creepy thing what Ripp mentioned.. has to be something again about previous owners of the lot

Sorry I totally forgot that I said Monday! After not many people acknowledged the ping I thought people weren't bothered so thought I might as well close it.
If people really are trying to get entries in I can keep it open until Monday morning US time.

Still not done, I'm afraid. I thought I'd marked out all the forbidden-to-delete walls at the start, but apparently I missed a bit. This afternoon I finally noticed that I'd erased a couple of bits of foundation that had red lines around them, and since I'd made a lot of ground level modifications in doing so I decided it was easier to revert to a backup from before I did the deed rather than try to put it back the way it was. So I lost about a day's work that I'm now having to redo. :-(
Interior is mostly done apart from one room and some clutter that I'll add (or not) depending on how much money I have left. Outside still needs prepping for Olive's graveyard. So it looks like I'm going to be late, and will have to take the hit. Sorry about that.
(At least I have plenty of Fanta in the cupboard...)

After a fruitful career, Pollination Technician 9 has retired to his favorite planet. But can his son Johnny make friends and fit in, or is this family just too strange for Strangetown? |
I'm getting this entry in right before the deadline after a lot of extensions (thanks jo!) and although I was really dreading having to redo the Beaker lot, it ended up looking really great after I was done with it! Keeping in time with the original game feel, I wanted to give PT9 a big grassy lawn, keep a super green color palette, give them a pool, a place to throw Johnny a birthday party, and some hobby stuff for the family to do together. I also gave Johnny his wish for a sports car!

Eastern, Central, Mountain or Pacific? ;-)
Wouldn't really matter for me as I won't be home from work before any of them. I'd be home before 9am in Hawaii (just), but still have a graveyard to sort out before I can take pictures, which will take a few more hours. I did get most of the interior decorating finished before work this morning, so I'm getting closer. A few more Fanta overdoses should do it.
15 minutes until 9am in New York as I post this, by the way...
