So after very little deliberation, I decided to create a series of houses and other community lots. After seeing and utilizing many of the wonderful housing and building creations on this site, including the beautiful Charlton Island where my sims currently reside, I thought maybe it was time to do something in return. Originally my intent was to create a world, but alas the tool does not work on macs. So I thought I would focus on lots. On a quick digression there, if there are any world builders out there looking for someone with whom to collaborate on lots and architecture and like my creations, let me know, I would be most interested. The series I am creating now does not have any general themes (although because I am not very creative with titles, they will all be given French names so I don’t think too long about it hah) but it will be breaking a few CFE rules and focusing on details. This initial house is a fine instance of both.

Backstory –

Billionaire Nore Negonc found his wealth during the tech boom of 2000. Known for his eccentric tastes, he had a strong interest in architecture, most notably for his blending of modern design with old school elegance, and was famous for commissioning the creation of many buildings from summer manses to art galleries. In late 2008, for reasons unknown to both his friends and the general masses, Nore donated half his wealth to the charity Sims for Equality and hid the other half in banks around the globe before retiring to Tibet to find true enlightenment at a yet-to-be-discovered monastery hidden among the mountains. His donations included all of his architectural creations, the sales from which will be wisely utilized by Sims for Equality, a now very wealthy NGO.

The first building for auction is Maison Chouette (literally Cool House, original … I know). Maison Chouette was Nore’s favorite summer manse and is best known for its unique chandeliers.

Before I start with this house, I would like to acknowledge credit where it is due. I by no means discovered or created this build technique. It was created by a Chinese builder I think by the name of naver muler84 (at least that is the name on his or her blog). The technique was also engineered by Teeheehee. I only utilized what those two wonderful builders found to create this house.

Also before I start with the story of this house, as usual if there are any world builders out there looking for someone with whom to collaborate on lots and architecture and like my creations, let me know, I would be most interested. The series I am creating now does not have any general themes (although because I am not very creative with titles, they will all be given French names so I don’t think too long about it hah) but it will be breaking a few CFE rules and focusing on details. This house is titled Chez Hobbit (literally “at the Hobbit’s house”). It is of course based on the famous works of Mr. Tolkien as you might have guessed hah.

Backstory –

In the winter of 2003, the nights were colder than usual and the air always maintained a lingering chill. One night while eccentric billionaire Nore Negonc was dozing off in his hotel room while attending the International Summit for Unity and Equality (along with many of the world’s leaders), he was awoken by a distinct and familiar noise. It was the sound of none other than Gandalf the Grey traveling through a rift in space and time to find Nore. He came with an urgent invite to have Nore join a quest he was starting to destroy the One Ring. Nore however had to refuse his old friend stating that there were urgent matters in his own world that required his attention. Nore, feeling bad though, did travel back with Gandalf to build a house for those that Gandalf recruited. He designed it to be one with the earth around it to avoid an unwanted gaze and enchanted it to allow entry to only those in the fellowship. Bidding adieu to his old friend, Nore returned back to his room where not more than a moment had gone by, wide awake and ready to tackle the summit the following day.
