1. Cotton Candy Construction – 14 Clover Drive (20x20 lot) – Dragon Valley
Finished Cost - $74,999 (Furnished)

2. Let's take a tour through the cutaways....

31. A closer, angled view of the upper floors' exterior demonstrates how the skylights
work.

32. And now, on to the floor plans!
The third floor is a guest room/child's room. Bed, overhead light and nightlight.

33. Second floor contains master bedroom, bathroom, and two cribs for infants.

34. First floor is an open plan kitchen, dining room and living room/activity area.

35. The first floor overhead view including full yard; the yard also has many activity areas.
Now, on to the grand tour!

36. First, meet Cotton. Cotton Candy, that
is. When I took on this challenge, I
also decided to make a Sim to go with
the home. Both Cotton and her home
will be available for download.

37. The approach to the house from town...

38. The view from the street, AKA Google Street View.

39. Welcome! The newspaper delivery kid
was quick on her feet this morning.

40. Billed as a practical and multi-purpose, the beehive will provide you
with skills and alchemy needs, while serving as a deterrent to Pink
Flamingo thieves! Or, if you'd prefer, hire fairy security and put them
up for the night in the cute fairy abode.

41. If night-time activities are your
thing, try some stargazing! Just
don't look at grumpy neighbors
too long through it.

42. There's nothing safer than
letting anyone who walks
past your front door know
you have expensive
electronics right inside the
front door. :D

43. A bright and cozy living area can double as
an entertainment room during parties or a
study area when skill-building is a necessity.

44. An open layout makes the main floor bright, open and welcoming.

45. The light and airy feeling of cotton
candy won't be constrained by
something bulky like stairs!
Flabaliki's ghost stairs make
ascending from one level of this
house to the next a breeze.

46. What is a home
without books? Not
a home I'D build, at
any rate.

47. Nothing lifts your spirits like
painting in front of a sunny
window. This easel is situated to
keep the artist from being
isolated, but at the same time
provides a peaceful backdrop to
work from.

48. The back door leads out into the beautiful back yard for those
times the party just has to spill over a little bit. And, for any of
those opportunists who would spill IN to help himself/herself
to the goodies found inside, the Thief-Tech's Gotcha! Burglar
Alarm is keeping the peace – at both doors.

49. A bright and open kitchen is guaranteed to bring big smiles and
appetites – and there's enough overhead light for that late-night
snack or hot beverage as well.

50. A bright kitchen needs a dining room to match! With plenty of table space,
the home's occupants can't wait to sit down in cheery morning sunlight for
breakfast or warm, comforting overhead light for dinner.

51. A chance layering glitch
made for a perfect combo!
This nightlight provides
security while remaining
tucked out of sight in the
rubbish bin. It also adds a
cozy glow to compliment
the traditional bread oven
on cool nights.

52. Too many cooks spoil the soup? Not in this kitchen!
Ample counter space and an open plan leads to less
foot-stomping frustration when more than one person
is cooking. The fire alarm is even conveniently
centered between ovens so it has you covered, no
matter what you're cooking.

53. Bon Appétit!

54. We try not to think too hard about how
these stairs work. :>
Yes, that's a bee. :>

55. One last look from whence we came before we
head upstairs. Cotton sure loves to boogie.

56. Is this a suggestion to the new
owners? One of two cribs that come
with the house come into view at the
top of the stairs. The babies have a
picturesque view through multiple
windows and the skylights.

58. Most of the light fixtures on the top two floors are affixed to the skylights. We're not
going to think too hard about how THAT works either. XD

59. The bathroom is tucked into a corner, creating a
quiet space for the babies while still allowing easy
access to the master bedroom and occupants on
both floors. A centrally-located bathroom is a must
for one-bathroom homes.

60. The hallway leading downstairs looks a bit
treacherous, in hindsight. Let's hope no one
leaves any toddlers near the edge of the stairs. ^^;

61. What a charming bathroom
door! There's so much light
coming through! It's almost
as though...

62. ...there's a door-length
cutout that lets anyone
passing by see into the
bathroom!
After a few “Suck it up,
Princess Cuppycake.”
lectures, my Sims
have learned not to
expect any real level of
privacy in their lives.
Now yours can, too!
Let's get a better look
at the features of this
bathroom.

63. At least the wall is
protected from the
shower...kind of?
This is another one
of those magical
artifacts that cuts
bulk and adds
delicacy but leaves
one to wonder about
functionality.

64. Since cotton candy melts like
snow, this mirror is a perfect
reflection for it! Sims can admire
their delicate surroundings (and
keep an eye out for Peeping
Sims) while washing their hands
or brushing their teeth. The
Porcelain Throne is conveniently
in the corner, where it's least
visible but still accessible.

65. Man, glass ceilings
really ARE hard to
break through!

66. As we continue our tour, we find the master
bedroom and stairs to the third floor ahead
of us.

67. It's kind of like “The Shining,”
only bright and cheerful and
without creepy little girls.
...Okay, it's not really
anything like “The Shining,”
it's just a long hall with a
room at the end. ^^;

68. A quiet and peaceful master bedroom, complete
with a tree branch growing through the wall. ^^; At
least the cherry blossoms go with the décor.

69. The master bedroom intentionally has enough space for
the occupant to buy a small dresser, chair and end table,
bookshelf, or other add-on of their discretion.

70. A double bed. You
know what to do. :>

71. Onward! Up
those totally
safe looking
steps to the
third floor!

72. I can see the future sky!

73. This light-filled guest
room/child's room also
has space intentionally
left open for décor or
accessories of the
occupants' choosing.

74. A room with a view.

75. Despite being small, this
room has some of the best
views in the house.

76. Out onto the roof! (Which is not on fire.)

77. These skylights by DasMatze
were perfect for opening up the
house to light and at the same
time mimicking the ragged
edges of cotton candy.

80. Now, we jump down
into the yard for a
closer look at some
of the landscaping.

81. This line of trees and rose bushes marks the property line.

82. The rear of the house from the neighboring lot.

83. Opposite rear corner of the house, from the neighboring
lot. The Weeping Willow trees belong to the adjacent lot.

85. Standing under the neighboring Weeping Willows, looking toward the
front corner of the house. The fairy house and beehive are just in view.

86. From the approach to the driveway. This is what
many cars pulling up to the house would see.

87. Creeper-vision. This is the
shot from the top of the
tree across the road. :|
