Completed Basement Kings Quest

But I don't have a basement to share yet. Turns out building underground is pretty expensive.

If you complete the quest within the time limit, you do get the DIY House for free, it appears to only be available for premium plots though.

First Balcony

I've just completed the balcony quest and my first balcony! You do need a two-story home in your Sim town to complete this quest. Upon completion you get an assortment of decorations: new planters for both your gardens and the inside of your houses, and privacy screens for both inside and out. And of course you get customizable balconies! It's also supposed to come with outdoor stairs, but I haven't figured out how to use those just yet... or even find them.

 This, my first balcony, was added to my 2 Story Standard Design!

Dance Villa

My first Premium Plot has arrived! The exterior is smooth stone walls with purple scaled roof. Interior is inspired by Latin Villa, altered to fit my personal aesthetics.

Enter the house and go salsa dancing on your own private dance floor. Left of the foyer is the common area of this beautiful family home; modern countertops, a dining area accented with floral screens, and a large tv for movie night.

Go out to the garden through doors in the living room...or stay in. Through a hallway just off the dining room, find a bathroom and master bedroom. Master bedroom complete with private study, for the sim who wants some space from the kids.

The kids won't be bored in this house; upstairs they've got their own spacious dance floor to practice breaking dancing. A den offers workspace for homework and a make-out couch to curl up with a honey.

First door on the L-shaped hall is a bathroom with two his and her vanities, courtesy of Philips Sonicare. And of course the kids can retreat to their spacious bedrooms for privacy and enjoy their relaxing goldfish tanks.

And let's not forget that garden! Out through the back doors, enjoy a beautiful pool with a large deck; a patio set is located just under a tree for a picnic in the shade. 

 Tan on blankets by day or have a midnight swim by the glow of lanterns. Large backyard with a view!

Minimalist

The exterior is stone with green scales.

Enter into a spacious front room, kitchen/dining/living room in one. Stone interior with hardwood flooring.

 Back half of the house is also stone interior; study hall is done in hardwood flooring with tiled bathroom to the left and cozy carpeted bedroom on the right.

Enjoy floral arrangements inside the house, or exit the backdoor to a private garden and enjoy a barbecue.

This design has been updated! 

First Patio

I've just finished the Peaceful Patio Quest and installed my first patio. I added the patio to my Minimalist design.

When your working on the quest don't worry about the red-tile they default you to; upon completion you get to access an assortment of tiles, along with new patio furniture, fencing, gates, and of course the make-out couch.
