Sims by Numbers Show - floor plan

Sims by Numbers Show starts on September 6th, and through daily reports until September 30th, you can follow the development both right here on the blog, but also with headlineres on the official TS4 forum.

Right now I'm planning the house where the 8 candidates will live more or less by free will for 20 simdays.

The lot was found in the world Willow Creek, which will be slightly adjusted and renamed Gloomville. There is a hood with 5 residential lots, and the least developed lot near the river was picked. This hood will be named Willow Field and has a back story including farming.

The centered lot is chosen for the Sims by Numbers Show!

The Sims by Numbers Show house will have 2 floors. On ground floor there will be kitchen, diningroom, library, Quest room, Fun room and of course a pretty large hall leading to the garden doors.

Upstairs there will be 4 large bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Not sure if doors can be locked to avoid chaos. Each room gets 2 single beds. Two rooms for males, two rooms for females. Two rooms will have much higher standard, and will be occupied by top 2 males and top 2 females. In addition there will be certain hobby related areas upstairs, I will need to see the entire buy catalog to make final decisions.

Here's a rough sketch of the ground floor. Right side entrance is facing the street, left side doors leads to a huge terrace, with access to a small garden. The library contains a bar and a grand piano which hopefully will cause some conflict between playing and studying sims.

In the long hallway there is a small podium (carpet) between the stairs. The idea is to place varying objects there, like the comedian microphone, instruments, any extra fun objects or even just to exhibit stuff. This is the house's stage, and on certain occasions there might be lined up a few chairs for the audience. There will be a certain theme for every other day in the house, so the podium stuff might relate to that theme.

The Quest room (between library and fun room) will be used for one contestant reporting at the time. Details in the works.

The fun room will contain fun stuff like games and entertainment. TV and a computer for gaming. Maybe also a stereo, although it might be too small for groups dancing. Ther will be a party every 3rd night, and for those I think the music should be moved to the podium area in the hallway.

The lot is only 20 floor tiles wide, so the vegetable garden will be quite restricted, so any fruit trees will probably be in the main garden. The vegetable garden can be reached from the kitchen.

It's difficult to plan all those details not knowing what's in the game, or how the sims will behave. But that is exactly what we will learn from this project :)
