SimCribs, Simbana Edition v2

~Starring Juvy Alhambra Hartnett and Family~

I made this tour shorter, not to mention that this is a smaller house (no offense juvy!!!). Also, for most of the pictures, i filled in the sky parts that you can see since sims doesn't use ceiling tiles. Why did i fill it in? It's a photoshop thing. If i fill in the ceiling, which can take up a good amount of space in a pic, the automatic contrast works better and makes the pic brighter. Leaving the sky in would sort of cancel out that auto feature since the sky is already so bright. Got it? No? Ah well. On to the tour!

The first 4 pics are floor plans of all 4 floors, first through roof top [01, 02,03,04].

Welcome to the front of Juvy's house! The door is wide open...let's go in [05]! As soon as we enter, we see the stairs in front of us, as well as an entrance into the living room [06]. To our right, we see the dining room [07] and to our left, we see the study [08]. If we turn around to see the front door
[09]
, we see that it has a curtain around it! Maybe i should take that out. Seriously, I didn't know it was there until i did the tour ;). Well, let's go into the study, into the left corner. We can see the opposite corner of the room, as well as the door to the full bathroom [10]. And if you're curious as to what those yellowish brown things are jutting from the bottom left of the picture, we're standing in a pot of sticks. You can see them clearly in the next pic, since we just crossed the room to the opposite corner by the piano [11]. Let's step into the bathroom! Immediately to our right is the bathtub, and you can also see part of the door leading into the living room [12]. If we go further in and turn left, we can see the toilet and sink with a mirror over it [13]. Lovely curtains as well! Let's move onto the living room!

In front of us, we see a nice sculpture with the stereo behind it [14]. As we move forward and to the right, we get a better view of the tv and couches [15]. If we turn to our right, we can see were a lot of the family spends time: the computer [16]. You can also see the door we came from, the bathroom door on the right, as well as the archway to the main hallway we saw earlier. If we face left again and move past the tv couches we see the chess set, pinball machine, couches by the fireplace, an easel, and barstools in front of the kitchen island [17]. Let's get a better look at the kitchen! If we move by the fireplace couches and turn right, we see open kitchen with Josh and baby Kayla hanging out [18]! You can also see the entrance to the dining room we saw earlier. Kitchen comes complete with dishwasher, trash compactor, microwave, fridge and stove [19,20]. You can also catch a glimpse of young Nevin putting away dirty dishes! Let's move onto the dining room [21]. A very nice and simple room, featuring light toned furniture and gold accents [22]. Onto the second floor [23]!

As soon as we get to the top of the stairs, we can see the entrance to the nursery on the left, some comfy chairs, and the door to the upper veranda [24]. Turn around, and you can see where we came from, and the other side of the balcony [25].Moving into the nursery, we first see the fridge to the right (which is open btw), and the crib in the far right corner [26]. If we stand where the crib is, we can see the rest of the nursery, as well as Juvy looking through the fridge [27]. You can see things like the baby bath, changing table, special formula, and high chair [28]. When we exit the nursery, we see the door to Nevin and Jonathan's room [29]. They have an average room complete with 2 twin beds, wardrobe, play stove (everyone should know how to cook!), and toys. We can also see the door to their shared bathroom [30]. If we walk to the other corner of the room, we can see where we come from [31]. They have a shared bathroom with their parents, Juvy and Josh. They have a spacious bathroom with a separate bath ans shower, counters and toilet [32,33]. With a privacy foldy thing. Forgot what it's called ;). Juvy and Josh share a simple room, with bed, wardrobe, elixir of life, and some decorations [34]. If we move to the other end of the room and turn around, we see the double doors to the hallway [35]. Exiting their room, the first door to the left is another bathroom, and the next door is Sergio's room. We also see the fish tank that is currently uninhabited [36]. The bathroom is pretty much the same as the other [37,38,39]. The bathroom is linked to the Sergio's room, so let's get in there! Sergio has the simplist room, with just a bed [40,41]. Exiting Sergio's room, you can see the stairway to the 3rd floor room, and Juvy and Josh's bedroom doors [42]. Turn left, and you can see the open balcony to the 1st floor front door [43]. Let's go upstairs! [44]

If you turn right, you see the single 3rd floor nook with a nice couch to rest on, the bathroom (that door there), and the 3 teleporters to the rooftop [45]. Since the bathroom is small, i just took down those walls so you can see in [46]. The couch is nice and comfy, where the family likes to take naps [47]. The teleporters are a nice a quick space saver that takes people instantly upstairs [48]. The middle of the rooftop is enclosed with a bar, barstools, and wicker loveseats [49,50,51,52]. There are also 2 doors leading to each side of the roof [53]. If we walk to the far right corner and turn around, we'll see the telescope [54]. Nothing much if we turn to the left [55], but if we move to the telescope and look down that way, we'll see another pinball machine [56]. Further down is the inground hottub, where EVERYONE likes to hang out [57]. Well, adultwise. That's where all the guests go first! At least, if i see that someone is missing, i just look to the roof and there they are! And of course, to end our tour, let's have another looksie at Juvy and Josh's bed [58]! How sweeeeeeeeeeet!

And that's all for now! You guys are lucky that i even finished Juvy's this month! Well, i'll just say that Sharon's home tour will be here in a month :D. anything earlier will be a nice surprise, aye?

SimCribs, Simbana Edition

~Starring Abigail Leynes Pitt and Family~

Because there are 72 pictures in this story, all pictures will be linked through the numbers in the brackets-> [##] <-as such. Please enjoy the tour! [The first 4 pics (01,02,03,04) are layout pics of all 4 floors, 1st through 3rd and basement.]

Welcome to the front of Abby's home! To your left, you see young Emerson Pitt trimming a hedge [05]. Moving throught the front door, you reach Abby's front hall [06]. Looking forward, you see the doors leading to the back deck. Not pictured are the archways to your left and right, leading to the dining and kitchen area (left) and the living room (right). Let's go downstairs! Going downstairs and turning right, you see the door to the bathroom and the archways leading to the basement play room [07]. Here's the not-yet-fully-furnished basement play room [08]! If you turn right, you'll see the door leading to the same bathroom as before. Enter the bathroom...oOoOo...[09,10]. This bathroom also leads to Emerson's bedroom. But let's exit the bathroom and go back into basement hall where you see the stairs we came down and 2 doors: 1 leading to the extra room and the far door leading to Emerson's room [11]. Dunno what to do with the extra room [12] which also leads to Emerson's room, so let's move on into there [13,
14]
!

Back to upstairs, and we'll move into dayroom leading into the dining room and kitchen [15]. Move in further and you'll see the dining room [16] which has a half view of the kitchen [17]. Moving backwards to get into the kitchen, you'll see down the way the front hall and the archway into the living room [18]. In the kitchen, you see the large manuevering room, island in the middle to eat a quick meal, complete with washer, trash compactor, toaster oven, microwave, fridge, stove, and espresso maker [19,20,21,22]. The kitchen has a back archway leading to the back of the front hall, which also has an archway leading to the back of the living room [23]. Moving on, we enter the back of the living room [24]. Moving right, you see where they spent alot of their time watching tv over the fireplace, until it was temporarily moved. You'll also see where the family likes to spend time playing pinball, but i should really move that to the basement :D [25]. You may have noticed that there are plenty of desks [26]. Kids need somewhere to do their homework, right? Let's move on to where we came from [27], the front room so we can move upstairs [28].

To the right, you have the doors to the den [29]. I wasn't sure what to call it, but it works hehehe. Nice stone flooring (actually, my favorite floor...so you may see it in many homes), stereo with dancing space, a fireplace [30]...and of course, a bar [31]. Turning around, you'll see another piano, which i was sure i wanted to get rid of [32,33]. Back out into the hallway [34] and turn left , we come to the smaller part of the hallway, leading to the double doors of Aleysen's room, more stairs leading up, and Ethan's room [35]. Aleysen's room was converted from 2 separate rooms sharing a bathroom. I left the bathroom in the middle [36,37], and the right side of her room is her wardrobe [38], the left, her bed [39]. Going back outside and going further into the small hallway, we see the stairs and the door to Ethan's room [40]. He may have a small room, but it's the room with the balcony [41,42]. nice. His bathroom door is to the right of his wardrobe, which we don't have a good pic of. Small bathroom, but it still has everything: shower, bath, toilet, and sink. even plants [43,44]. going out of the bathroom, we get a good view of the balcony [45]. It's a good sized balcony where the family likes to paint [46]. Moving on to the upstairs...you can get a glimpse of the baby's room to the left [47].

Moving further up, we see the door to the upstairs general bathroom [48]. But let's see the rest of the 3rd floor atrium. oOoOoOo...turning right from the stairs, you catch another glimpse of the atrium nook and the door leading to Abby and Brad's bedroom [49]. rOWrrrrr. but we'll get to that later. Turn around, and you see pregnant Abby and her toddler Aleysen in the nursery [50]! If you go in a lil to your left, then pivot right, you see the necessities of the nursery: changing table, crib, fridge, special formula and garbage can [51]. Turn a lil left, and you see the nice fireplace with bookshelves on each side [52]. Plus, at the bottom is one of the toddler toys. Turn more left, and you see the mom n dad resting nook, where the can lounge, nap, or read [53,54]. I need to pizazz up this side more. :D Now let's go to the bathroom! Together! Cozy bathroom in nice neutral colors, complete with addition of mirror and potty training toilet [55,56,57]. Don't worry, the phone isn't in the bathroom...i just had to do a cutaway pic to view the whole bathroom. The phone is on the outside wall [58]. If you turn around, you see the 3rd floor atrium nook. a good place to sit, nap or lounge [59].

Now enter the master bedroom! Immediately after entering, you see the dresser and the door to their bathroom to the right [60]. Straight in front of you is a lovely loveseat in front of a fireplace oOoOo [61]. Turn to the left, and you see the nook with their bed. of loOoOove [62]. For now, lets go into their bathroom. To the left is their bathtub and shower [63]. To the right is the toilet and sink [64]. There is also a pretty mirror above the sink [65]. Exiting the bathroom, you see a better view of the Love Bed [66]. niiiiiice.

For a nice change of pace, lets go outside to the deck. we're gonna skip to the far left side and turn around. The deck covers the length of the house, complete with grill, telescope and some seating [67]. If we go further to the left and exit the deck, we see a double swing for everyone [68]! Everyone loves to swing, even adults! Going back onto the deck, going to the other side and turning around, we get a nice view of where we were [69]. Turn around again and going to the edge of the stairs, we get a nice view of Brad Pitt in the hot tub [70]. Rowrrr! Going to the left of the hot tub, and turning slightly right, we get a full view of the left side of the yard (which would be the right side if you were looking from the front) [71]. It includes the hot tub, pool, and the arch that Abby and Brad were married under. Beautiful. But a lil anti-climatic. So to end, a nice top view of the LOVE BED [72]. yeaaaaaaaaaaah!

Thank you for being patient, and I hope you enjoyed the view. Juvy's house will be coming in like a month or so. hahaha. ;D
