First round entry - Lewis family.

Moving to Simville wasn't exactly what Layton and Lucinda Lewis wanted, but their three teenage daughters demanded a room of their own. Each.
Considering the sorry state of sim-economy these days and the exorbitant prices of real estate, they decided on this little town house. It was affordable. When the fuss of the moving settles, they'll hopefully see that both Simville and their new house have their charms.


Unlike their 3-bedroom apartment in Sim City where they used to live, their new house has a siezable backyard, and finally they don't need to worry where, if at all, they'd be able to park their cars!


--1st floor layout--
The entire 1st floor is reserved for daily family life.
Large living room has an enclosed study area, where Leyton placed his laptop, looking forward to the late night gaming sessions he so much loves.
Kitchen and dining take up another large chunk of the 1st floor - ideal for family dinners or even for entertaining guests, should they so desire.
One of the bathrooms is conveniently placed next to the entrance because let's face it, sometimes a Sim's bladder can't wait for a Sim to run to the opposite end of the house before an accident happens.


--2nd floor layout--
Upstairs is reserved for the bedrooms.
Each of their teen drama queens gets one of their own - not big, but comfy enough.
The master bedroom, rather large for a house this small, sports its own enclosed bathroom, a fact that made Lucinda very happy and probably closed the deal on the house.
The girls have to share a bathroom, or use the downstairs one - a fact that made Lucinda both giggle and shudder in anticipation of their future fights over who gets to use it first and for how long. One thing is for sure though: they certainly won't be using hers!


A moment in life of the Lewises #1.
Layton is the chef of the family, and as such he is extremely pleased with his new kitchen. The color scheme is soothing and tranquil - ideal for good ingestion and almost guaranteeing that the family will have some nice meals in here. Unless the girls insist on their unnecessary and never-ending diets.


A moment in life of the Lewises #2
Leanne's room. Shy and quiet as she is, Leanne prefers to spend time on her own, and now she has a space to do it in. She used to share bedroom with Lorrie, who constantly listened to music or huffed rather loudly while dancing. Not anymore!
Leanne stocked her shelves with her favorite books, put up her favorite posters and finally had a place for the TV her father gave her for her birthday. Plus, having a big desk in a room of her own means she'll have a place to write. And Leanne wants to be a writer when she grows up.


A moment in life of the Lewises #3
Lorrie's room might not be big, but it's hers and hers alone. Finally she can listen to music and practice her dancing somewhere where her annoying bookworm of a sister won't yell at her every other second to be quiet! So that's what she did immediately after they moved in - turned the volume up on her stereo and danced.
Until her father called her for breakfast. Doesn't he know that, as a future prima balerina, she needs to watch her calories?! Of course he doesn't. Parents!


A moment in life of the Lewises #4
Lara is very pleased with the new house and the new town they moved to. Not only is her bedroom here bigger - big enough for the new excercise bike her mother gave her for her last birthday - but the house also has a basketball court! Yay! Plenty of wall space in her room for her sport paraphernalia and a bed to crash into after a long day of excercise - Lara never asked for more where her room is concerned.


That's it, guys! This is my first contest and I hope I did everything right.
I've built a house not unlike those I ordinarily use in my hoods - small and not over-stuffed. In fact, Lewises and their new townhouse just moved in my hood and are as of today residents of Simville. I'm looking forward to playing them
